Podcast #21: Progress - A Necessary Path Or A Self-inflicted Burden?
from Dose of Wonder · host Caitlin McColl 🇨🇦
In this week’s podcast I question the pervasive "self-improvement" culture, arguing that constant striving for progress isn't always healthy or necessary. I was inspired by a statement by one of the fitness instructor's on my Peloton app about progress and I contrast it with the idea of contentment and acceptance of one's current state. This podcast prompts listeners to consider the pressures of this culture and whether constant self-improvement is truly beneficial, and includes recommendations that further explore related themes such as productivity, goal setting, and the impact of technology.References:We’re All On The Path To Progress - or are we? by Caitlin McColl https://medium.com/dose-of-wonder/were-all-on-the-path-to-progress-or-are-we-120054e002c1Podcast music by: https://pixabay.com/users/audiorezout-14761081/ Get full access to Dose of Wonder at caitlinmccoll.substack.com/subscribe
