Episode 32: A story from "the middle of it": our collective experience of a broken system

Update: 2023-02-20

Description

In this final episode on mental health, Mark questions the assumption that we need to be fixed and find a happy ending, when so many people feel stuck in the middle of a story that has no end in sight. He shares stories from from researchers who are in a messy "middle" and argues that it is better to accept life in the middle of suffering, and find peace and joy there, than to live for a future happy ending that might never happen, and miss the life we have now.
