The Secret to Life?
Stop Glamorizing Achievement From the Kardashians to Elon Musk, we humans love elevating others to hero status. Stati? Statuses? Anyway, while this practice is annoying, it is also harmful because by ranking someone at the top we necessarily place people at the bottom. Money. Power. Good looks. ‘Success’. We are…

“Life is Supposed to Change; It’s Up To You” KEW Episode 100: The Evolution Paradox
