The Burnout Society Talk Doesn't Cook Rice

    • Self-Improvement

John and Danny explore Byung-Chul Han’s excellent book, “The Burnout Society.” We outline Han’s critique of our modern world—a landscape characterised by an overwhelming emphasis on positivity and relentless pursuit of achievement, often resulting in exhaustion and existential emptiness. We also discuss how Han’s philosophy resonates with our own experiences and offer insights into finding balance in the relentless race for success. There's also a guest appearance from the comedian Micky Flanagan!
