Self-Help Junkies, Stupid Experts, and the Worst Life Advice I've Ever Heard

Are you addicted to self-improvement? Are experts really any better than the rest of us at knowing how to make positive changes in our lives? What are some common pieces of life advice that just don't seem to work? Drew and I tackle all of these questions today in our brand new, updated format for the pod. Find out why self-help can turn into pseudo-religion (and why we should bring back exorcisms), whether or not a huge mega-study by a bunch of fancy experts can tell us anything about behavioral change, and some common self-improvement tropes that just don't do it for us. Here's the study we discuss in Brilliant or Bullshit: https://www.hbs.edu/ris/Publication%2... Let us know what you think of the new show format in the comments below.
