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

from Project Possible with Rich Leigh · host Rich Leigh - interviews about motivation, resilience and what's truly possible

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.Buy Lily's book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Prioritise-This-Practical-Guide-Thriving/dp/1399828630Follow Lily on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lily_silvertonFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richleighpod=====Interviews that might just change your life.
