It was a pleasure to speak to Will Young about The School of Life’s newest book, On Self-Hatred, on his podcast, The Wellbeing Lab. We even got to talk about John Berger and Theodor Adorno!

“Self-love can be a difficult goal to achieve and self-hatred isn't a desirable state to be in, so where is the middle ground? Well, acceptance is the antidote to self-hatred, according to The School of Life's book on the subject. I dig into this idea with Sarah Stein Lubrano from The School of Life, discussing the roles of expectations, compassion and friendship, plus we go off on a short tangent about the German philosopher Theodor W. Adorno.”
