    The Self-Care Delusion: Why It Can't Fix Everything

Fantastic.

I never fail to be amazed by the Jonathan Field’s intellect. He is not only a brilliant interviewer, he seems authentic and interacts so effortlessly. He seems to really do his research but nothing feels scripted. This is simply a class podcast. I just love it.
