What It Really Means to Change with Benoit Denizet-Lewis

What does it actually mean to change and why are we so fascinated (and suspicious) when people do? This week, Sarah sits down with Benoit Denizet-Lewis, acclaimed New York Times Magazine writer and author of You've Changed: The Promise and Price of Self-Transformation, to unpack the psychology, identity shifts, and messy reality of transformation. Drawing on deeply reported stories and personal insight, Benoit reveals why change is less about reinvention and more about self-discovery, and why it’s often more complicated (and communal) than we think. Get the book here: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/youve-changed-benoit-denizet-lewisHead to https://aquatru.com now and get 20% off your purifier using promo code TCEGet 15% off OneSkin with the code CHANGES at https://www.oneskin.co/CHANGES #oneskinpodDISCLAIMER: This podcast offers information for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not a substitute for professional advice.
