Ep. 20: "I’m quitting being a father." - On Maiko Seo’s "Kofuku na Shokutaku"

A reflection on Maiko Seo's "Kofuku na Shokutaku.

Re-reading this after 20 years made me think about the "roles" we play at work and in life.

Discussing the friction of forcing ourselves to fit a mold, and the delicate balance between freedom and belonging.

Thank you so much for listening.

Next episode will be in Japanese on a new book!

聴いてくれてありがとうございます。次は日本語回を配信します!
