Sean and Ed discuss plastic surgery, moving on to the wider question of how important do we view our physical appearance? Would we be happier without all forms of physical self improvement? Where do we draw the line between supposedly healthy things such as shaving, makeup, etc. and surgical implants, gender switching and the like?

Aside from this, Sean talks meditation recordings and Ed is celebrating 5 years of self employment. Enjoy!
