Personality really matters and it really does help define what's going to happen to you. An extrovert is far more likely to die in a road traffic accident than someone who isn't an extrovert. We don't have complete control over who we are, and this idea that we can make ourselves perfect just by thinking good thoughts leads to all kinds of unpleasant mental health disorders.
Will Storr, an award-winning journalist and novelist, joins us for this episode of The Unmistakable Creative. Will takes us on a journey through the history of 'self'. He explains how early human societies are responsible for much of how we live in the modern-day world. Why have we become so self-obsessed and what is it doing to us? The irony is that we’d love to know and Will has an answer at will blow your mind.
