Hear Me Out

Yes, You Can Self-Improve Right Now

F— your gut. Trust your enemies.

Episode Notes

On today’s episode of Hear Me Out… new year, new you?

If you’ve resolved to make 2024 your happiest, healthiest, most organized, most peaceful, etc. year yet? You’re not alone. And if you’re pretty sure the people who have made resolutions are doomed to abandon ship before January is over … you’re not alone, either. Nor are you wrong, exactly.

In the season of giving, getting, and evaluating self-improvement advice, there’s a line between over-optimism and self-limiting skepticism. And our guest wants to help you walk that line.

Zak Rosen, host of The Best Advice Show and co-host of Slate’s Care & Feeding, joins us.
