160: Why Does Self-Help Make You Feel Terrible? | Deep Dive

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) joins us for this deep dive into why a lot of self-help makes you feel miserable by design and what you can do to improve yourself without being suckered by hucksters or succumbing to an existential meltdown.

What We Discuss with Gabriel Mizrahi:
