Episode description

In this episode, we’re going to discuss the American Dream—the myth, the hustle, and the crisis it has driven us into. In this, we will learn about the “achievement society” as dubbed by Byung-Chul Han, the myth of self-improvement, and how we exploit ourselves to the point of burnout.
