Description:

Olga Khazan is a staff writer for The Atlantic and author of "Me, But Better."

This conversation explores personality mutability and Olga's experiment to transform from anxious introvert to someone freed from her own patterns. We discuss the Big Five traits, her Miami breakdown that sparked everything, and why anxiety isn't actually your superpower.

Along the way, we examine the paradox of self-acceptance.

This exchange is about agency, transformation, and why we amplify our suffering. Enjoy!
