A special Thanksgiving episode! "Gratitude" by Oliver Sacks

Author: Erin Jensen and Bhavana Chilukuri November 23, 2023 Duration: 18:24
For this very special Thanksgiving episode of Most Self-Improved, hosts Bhavana and Erin discuss Oliver Sacks' collection of essays "Gratitude." The late Sacks penned the book during his battle with cancer. “I cannot pretend I am without fear. But my predominant feeling is one of gratitude," he wrote.

Every other Thursday, Erin Jensen and Bhavana Chilukuri get together to figure out what personal growth actually looks like when you stop taking it so seriously. Their Most Self-Improved podcast was born from a friendship that started in a comedy class, a place they both landed after respective breakups. That origin story tells you a lot about their approach: they believe in chasing bold dreams, but they’re also the first to laugh at the awkward, messy, and downright human steps it takes to get there. You’ll hear two friends talking it out in real time, dissecting their own attempts at becoming better versions of themselves without any pretense or polished advice. They tackle the stuff we all think about-habits, fears, ambitions-with a candid and often humorous honesty that makes the whole self-improvement journey feel less like a solo trek and more like a conversation with people who get it. Tune in for a dose of relatable reflection that’s more about the trying than the triumph, delivered with the warmth and wit of a great chat between friends. New episodes arrive every other week, ready to accompany you on your own path, wherever it leads.
