Despite any New Year’s Resolutions you’ve made, 2025 won’t likely be the year when you finally get on top of your to do lists and crush all your goals. And Oliver Burkeman says that's ok! The writer's books have been described as self-help books for people who hate self-help books. His latest, Meditations for Mortals, draws on wisdom from the Ancient Greeks, Carl Jung, Haitian proverbs, and beyond to make a case for taking a breath, acknowledging our limitations and embracing imperfection. He joins Piya Chattopadhyay to help us set up a mindset for success (and inevitable failure) in the year ahead.
