This week, This Week in Modern Wisdom explores the intersection of personal fulfillment and biological reality. Episodes range from comedian Jimmy Carr's provocative take on depression as a signal of misaligned living, to conversations on addiction and recovery, to Harvard evolutionary biologist Daniel Lieberman's debunking of popular diet culture—suggesting that many of our modern struggles stem not from personal failure, but from lives and habits fundamentally at odds with how humans are designed to function.
