Mindset Coach: Has Self-Improvement Gone Too Far? Is it making us LESS happy?

Lily Silverton is a mindset coach, speaker and author of Prioritise This. We discuss self-improvement, therapy culture, ambition, loneliness, social media, productivity, work-life balance and why so many people feel overwhelmed despite having more information than ever before. We also explore whether people can become trapped in cycles of self-development and self-analysis, the pressure to become the "best version of yourself", and why success, achievement and optimisation don't always lead to fulfilment. A fascinating conversation about modern life, what really matters, and how to prioritise the things that make life worth living.
