Our Bad Habits | Why Do We Choose Self-Destruction?

It's a slightly uncomfortable topic this week as we're examining our worst habits and how we deal with them.

In Episode #338 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: why my backsliding required I bring this up, examples from each of us in where we are failing, how our minds are quite different, why there is no one-stop solution to fix all bad habits, the need to realise when it's a harmless habit and why it can contain a masochistic tinge of saying 'fuck it, I don't care' when in reality you do care.

Huge props to Mr Dave Jones (twice!) and Baz for supporting the show this week. Handsome wizards the both of them!

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
