Feeling overwhelmed by the chaos of daily life?

Following the success of Episode 25 (over 800 plays!), we slow down — intentionally — to dive deep into Meditations for Mortals, the new work by Oliver Burkeman. At the heart of the book lies a radical idea: “imperfectism.”

What if accepting our limits is the key to freedom? In this episode, we explore how letting go of perfection and embracing our finite nature can lead to a richer, more grounded life. Insightful, compassionate, and refreshingly practical — this is a conversation for anyone seeking calm amidst the storm.
