How to embrace – and challenge – the idea of “beauty” (w / Elise Hu)
How to Be a Better Human
Breaking the Link Between Appearance and Worth
The snip discusses the exhaustion and cost of trying to meet unattainable beauty standards and the dilemma between wanting to change these standards and recognizing their potential to lead to success. It highlights the importance of not buying into these standards or demanding that everyone be beautiful, but rather changing the self-concept to break the link between appearance and worth. The snip acknowledges that these are systemic issues, but individual changes can make a difference and influence others. The speaker reflects on being a good ancestor and not passing down appearance-related anxieties to future generations, as well as the desire to end the marginalization of people who don't conform to societal norms.
