Episode description

We live in the age of the individual. We are supposed to be slim, prosperous, happy, extroverted and popular. This is our culture’s image of the perfect self. We see this person everywhere: in advertising, in the press, all over social media. Where does this ideal come from? Why is it so powerful? Is there any way to break its spell? Will Storr, author of Selfie, pops by to talk it through with Shaun.
