This week, the podcast explored the gap between self-awareness and self-deception, examining why people remain stuck despite knowing better. From Mark Manson's unflinching look at the lies we tell ourselves, to Ryan Garcia's account of becoming the villain in his own story, to Bob King's investigation of how modern work quietly degrades our health, the episodes reveal a common thread: the disconnect between understanding a problem and actually changing course.
