SocietyThe Optimised Life: Are We Ever Enough?

Social media continually suggests people could be richer, healthier, more attractive, better parents or better at switching off, while more products promise to help. This episode examines how the internet shapes ideas about ourselves and the lives we should lead, including looksmaxxing, get-rich-quick culture, body tracking, loneliness and dopamine detoxes.
