In this episode, Shane & Ollie attempt to shed light on one of the most persistent problems in the realm of personal development. Self-acceptance. The question is - should we accept ourselves fully even if we want to achieve great things? Wouldn't accepting ourselves ruin our motivation? How can we accept ourselves fully yet still wish to change? We answer all of these and more in one of the most important episodes so far on the ikario podcast.

Today's episode is a spiritual successor to episode 9. In the previous episode, Shane & Ollie spoke about modern society as being a "Human Zoo" that is sub-optimal for human health, thriving and happiness. In this follow-on episode, they talk about the crucial importance of "opting out" of certain destructive aspects of modern society and exactly how to do it.  Links & Show Notes: https://ikario.com/010/

In this episode, we take a trip right into the heart of what we call, the "Human Zoo." This is a phrase we use at ikario to describe the current state of modern civilisation, which is a system not designed for human thriving. In this conversation, we discuss exactly why this is, what damage the human zoo causes and most importantly, how to break out of it. Links & show notes: https://ikario.com/009/
