I’m not going to change — and you’re not, either
<p><strong>Episode 7</strong> — We talk a lot about changing ourselves and we spend a lot of time waiting for other people to change. But what if the truth is that we never change who we are? What if all the people we are waiting to change are never going to change, either?

<p><strong>Episode 5</strong> — People all around me seem angry and agitated in ways that they don’t even seem to fully understand. I’ve realized lately that I’ve felt something very much like what existential philosophers called existential angst or dread. It seems as though we have more choices than ever, but we have less confidence than ever before in our ability to make the right choices.
