If you had the opportunity to go into our school system today, regardless of where it was, how would you go about redesigning it based on your experiences? Well, I guess there's two different areas that I think are especially interesting. And the first one is, you know, the area of our kind of prejudices and biases. Nobody is free of them, gender, race, doesn't matter. The world feels clear and obvious and logical and orderly to most people because their brains simplify the world. So we kind of fall for this myth in the West that you can be anyone you want to be. You've just got to reach out and grab these dreams, if you see them.
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.
