This episode starts with the condemnation of MyBetterSelf. Metaphorically, at least: I asked Albert, a doctor in neuroscience and clinical psychologist, to explain to me why he was so critical of the desire to become “the best version of yourself”. We exchange, we debate, we oppose arguments; on one side, there is Albert, the zen and spontaneous doctor; on the other, myself, an avowed workaholic and perfectionist in remission. In this episode, we discuss the subjects of progress, success, myths about how the brain works, the injunction to perform or even the dangerous individualization of our societies. I hope that this podcast will be a real source of reflection for you too!
