Newberg Pod 118 -20 Minute Mind Melt

from Newberg · host J Chris Newberg

NEW EPISODE: "Why Chasing Excellence Might Be Wrecking Your Life" Today on Newberg Pod, I'm talking about the toxic pressure to be perfect — and why it's okay to just be... okay. I dig into the myth of constant self-improvement, how being nice to yourself might actually get you further, and why your flaws are often your funniest strengths. Plus: why comedy shows with "themes" usually are weird, and how pretending to play war as a kid is wildly different from watching adults turn it into a job. This one's sharp, funny, and might actually make you feel better about being human.   Checkout Newberg Pod wherever you stream or https://youtu.be/KA8Xsxvh-YE
