What if the root of many problems faced by middle-aged men - burnout, broken relationships, anxiety, aggression - stemmed from something hiding in plain sight: entitlement and narcissism ? In this fascinating conversation, psychologist and Dean of the University of Wollengong in Australia, Simon Moss explains why our culture's emphasis on status, dominance, and self-importance might be making us miserable, and what we can do about it. Drawing on decades of research, Simon introduces his new project, RadicalHumility.com , and shares practical strategies to reduce narcissism, build resilience, and embrace humility, not as weakness, but as a superpowerfor better relationships, leadership, and mental health.
