Exploring the impact of self-talk on mental well-being, the overwhelming presence of self-help resources in contemporary culture, and the critical evaluation of popular self-help books and advice. The chapter also dives into debunking cultural myths around relationships, questioning the privilege and challenges individuals face in achieving success, and distinguishing between genuine help and sales tactics in the self-help industry.
This week Kat is joined by not one but two guests, Jolenta Greenberg and Kristen Meinzer. Jolenta and Kristen both consider themselves advice critics. They spent years living by and critiquing advice from self-help books for their podcast By The Book and now they’re ready to discuss wellness-related questions and help debunk all the self-help myths and promises in their new podcast, How To Be Fine which premiered on February 23rd. In this episode, Kat, Jolenta, & Kristen talk about their experiences- what they thought was all BS, what they learned, what worked, and what was just weird.
