Inspired by The Burnout Society by Byung-Chul Han.
Thessaloniki, Greece.
Today, we explore the paradox of modern life through the lens of Byung-Chul Han’s "The Burnout Society."
How has our culture of relentless positivity and self-improvement enslaved us to unsustainable ideals? Is our obsession with personal projects, perpetual growth, and excessive optimism leading us inevitably to burnout?
Join me in this raw, authentic discussion about finding moderation in an age that glorifies excess. Because, ultimately, balance might be our only way forward.
⚠️ A note to listeners:
This episode was recorded under challenging technical conditions, resulting in poor audio quality. For that, I want to apologize deeply.
I will record the episode once more with proper audio quality, by the end of May, with my new, long-awaited equipment. However, until then, I hope you can still enjoy the episode as it is!
New episodes will follow a monthly format. New episodes will arrive on the first Thursday of each month.
Episode 11 will be here on June 3. Stay tuned for season 2!
