Have you ever wondered “If I wanted to change my personality, would I be able to?” Or have you ever wondered if it was possible for someone else to truly change their personality?
This was a question that today’s guest wondered about herself and so she went on a journey to find out whether it was really possible to change your entire personality!

Joining the podcast today is Olga Khazan. Olga is a writer for The Atlantic, and the author of the new book Me, But Better: The Science and Promise of Personality Change. Olga spent a year experimenting with her own personality to see if she could become more extroverted, a lot less neurotic, and a little more agreeable.

We speak about:

• Exactly why you might like to change your personality
• How much of our personality is ‘hard wired’
• The ‘big 5’ personality traits: extroversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness.
• How different aspects of our personality affects our relationships
• Making friends when you’re not particularly extroverted
• Can you change someone else’s personality?
• Do certain life stages encourage a personality change?
• What things can you do to change your personality?

Hey Lifers!
Straight off the b̶a̶c̶k̶ bat, how do you feel about the sound of exhaust fans?
Are they the bane of your existence or are you normal?

We have a devastating update about Britt's hens entertainment and checks notes it is not appropriate to ask if the entertainment should come to our workplace. Noted.
Ben has had his bucks party and it was a little less of a rager than what Britt anticipated.
We ended up having a bit of a deeper conversation about what the 'rules' of hens/bucks parties are, the length of the 'leash' and being in a relationship with genuine trust and how that feels really different to previous relationships.

Why are people hate-watching Meghan Markle’s Netflix Show Love, Meghan?

Why do we hate watch or hate follow anyone?
We unpack the how these factors play into why we might consume content from people that we really don't like:

• Confirmation bias. If you already think someone is awful, watching their content (and finding more reasons to dislike them) reinforces that belief.
• The need for comparison. Hate-watching gives us a way to feel superior.
• Schadenfreude—the joy of watching a train wreck
• Participation in a bigger conversation
• Algorithms LOVE outrage!

We'd love to know if you hate follow or hate watch anyone/anything? Are they a celebrity/public figure or someone you know in your own life?
