[Arguable] Obsession with Stoicism, Protein Shakes, and Padel Leaves the Modern Millennial Utterly Dissatisfied

Description:

This episode explores whether the modern millennial’s embrace of stoicism, rigorous health routines, and padel reflects a genuine search for meaning or a set of coping mechanisms that ultimately fall short. Has the rise of self-discipline and structured lifestyles created a more resilient generation, or has it led to a quiet sense of emptiness masked by routine?


We examine the social and psychological roots of these trends, asking whether the appeal of ancient philosophy, physical optimisation, and curated leisure is a response to instability or a retreat from vulnerability and connection.
