Intro

John and Danny discuss 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 explore 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!Micky Flanagan on How to do absolutely nothingIntro/Outro Music: The Eternal Now by Maze 28
