#95 Philosophy, Self Acceptance and Coping with Adversity with Matt Haig

Published: March 21, 2021, 8 a.m.

b'Hello Podulters, It\\u2019s been a very long time no speak\\U0001f972. I\\u2019m so pleased to be back with season 10 \\U0001f440of Adulting! Wow! It was the three year anniversary of the podcast the other day, and it\\u2019s so exciting to see how far we\\u2019ve come. In fact, I think today\\u2019s conversation with Matt Haig is quite reflective of that. We start to push back a little against the pervasive and negative aspects of \\u2018woke culture\\u2019 - for want of a better phrase - and that\\u2019s looking like a recurring theme this season. This is interesting to me, because of course Adulting as a podcast is all about becoming more knowledgeable, more understanding and less ignorant. But I do wonder if maybe we have lost sight of that goal more broadly, especially when using the term \'woke\'? I\\u2019m still asking people what three things they wish they had been taught in school, and Matt\\u2019s are Philosophy, coping with adversity and self acceptance. His book, The Midnight Library, which I absolutely loved, is now out in paperback... incase you were looking for your next read. I really hope you enjoy listening and I\\u2019m so glad to be back! Xx
