Philosopher and bestselling author Alain de Botton invites us to completely rethink what success really means. This profound and therapeutic conversation explores how true high performance isn't about external achievement, but about realising your unique potential and finding peace within yourself.Alain challenges the obsession with being “special,” explaining why accepting our ordinariness can be the most liberating idea of all. He also discusses how envy can reveal our hidden potential, how we lose touch with our true selves by trying to please others, and why moments of crisis or even pain can be the body's search for balance.This is a deeply human exploration of ambition, self-worth, and acceptance, an invitation to define success on your own terms.Heights

I make the case that consistency trumps talent — especially in today's fast-paced world.Too many creatives still think it's about making the perfect thing, when in reality, it's about showing up and delivering good work week after week. Sure, everything can always be improved with more time — but for freelancers and creative professionals working on deadlines, that's not a luxury we have.The key is learning to identify what truly matters and deliver quality on schedule. That's how careers are built — not in isolated moments of brilliance, but in sustained, repeatable effort.When it's your own passion project, you can take your time. But when you're working with clients, teams, or audiences, your ability to deliver consistently is what keeps you in the game.

Send Me a Message! In this episode, I talk about the sudden re-emergence of my old foe, the inner critic, and how it's teamed up with my perfectionism to drag me down. Together, they've convinced me that everything I do is sub-standard, fuelling insecurities and setting expectations that aren't reasonable or attainable.The best example of this? This very podcast of course! I've spent hours glued to my computer and microphone, desperately trying to record the “perfect” episode. The result has been exhaustion, frustration, and far fewer episodes released than I'd like.But here's the truth, I reckon the imperfections are what makes this show work, owing to the fact that life isn't perfect. It is riddled with mistakes, missteps, inconsistencies and lost opportunities. Because if I am able to stand by my belief that this podcast is the most honest, raw, vulnerable and fair dinkum show on the internet, the imperfections must be a part of the journey. That's the reality of living with mental illness. And that's what makes The Dysregulated Podcast stand out from the rest.Support the showYou can follow me on Instagram: @elliot.t.waters, and the show on Facebook!

This week on The Go-To Mise en Place, we're joined by the formidable Asimakis Chaniotis—chef-owner of Myrtos and the first Greek chef to earn a Michelin star outside of Greece.From his relentless early years at Pied à Terre, where he rose through the ranks to become executive chef, to the opening of his own restaurant Myrtos in South Kensington, Asimakis shares the raw truth of a life spent chasing perfection. He speaks with searing honesty about what it takes to lead a kitchen at the highest level, why so many restaurants miss the mark on authentic Greek cooking, and the emotional push and pull of balancing tradition with creativity.We dive into his signature dishes—like the unapologetically classic lamb moussaka, whipped taramasalata, and deep-fried hortopita—and the thought process behind every element on the plate. He reflects on the lessons of hard graft, the perils of chef ego, and why consistency starts with knowing your own palate.Asimakis also shares the Greek concept of philoxenia—literally "friend to strangers"—and how this philosophy of generosity and open-hearted hospitality sits at the core of how Myrtos operates. Whether it's through warm service, abundant food, or simply inviting guests to feel like family, philoxenia shapes every detail.Unfiltered, warm, and driven by obsession: this is a chef who lives and breathes the craft. Don't miss it.------Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.Just £49 a month for unlimited devices and 24/7 UK-based support that's always there, in person when you need it.Built for hospitality, by hospitality, blinq is the fastest, easiest POS system on the market—so intuitive, anyone can use it.

Tiffany Moon M.D is a mother, wife, entrepreneur, anaesthesiologist, and TV personality.  She graduated from medical school at the top of her class at the age of 23 and currently is an Associate Professor of Anaesthesiology.  She is also the first-generation Asian American to star on The Real Housewives of Dallas and made headlines for speaking out against racial bullying, which sparked her advocacy for Asian American issues.  She has a massive social media presence  with over 1.7m followers on TikTok and 830k+ on Instagram; and she uses her platforms to spread the importance of having fun, not chasing perfection and embracing connection.  Her debut book, JOY PRESCRIPTIONS: How I Learned to Stop Chasing Perfection and Embrace Connection, is available now.  Here are some of the things we talked about in today's great show: ·      Achievement does not guarantee happiness or fulfilment. ·      Joy comes from connection, laughter, and being present. ·      Letting go of obligations can lead to deeper joy. ·      Comparison can detract from personal growth and happiness. ·      Therapy is a gradual process that requires patience and investment. ·      Focusing on the journey allows for richer life experiences. ·      Relinquishing control can improve relationships and reduce anxiety. ·      Setting healthy boundaries is essential for well-being. ·      Self-compassion is crucial in overcoming negative self-talk. ·      Joy is found in the little moments of life. Setting boundaries is crucial to avoid being taken advantage of. ·      Learning to say no can be difficult but necessary for self-care. ·      Finding humour in life can help alleviate stress and connect with others. ·      Authenticity allows for deeper connections and personal growth. ·      Perfectionism can hinder personal development and trying new things. ·      Practicing gratitude shifts the mindset from lack to abundance. ·      Rest is essential and should not be viewed as a reward. ·      Daily check-ins with oneself can help maintain boundaries and self-worth. ·      Connection is more important than perfection in relationships. ·      It's okay to prioritize joy and laughter in life.  Brian's website: www.briankeanefitness.com (Website) TIFFANY MOON, MD   (Instagram) Tiffany Moon, MD (@tiffanymoonmd) • Instagram photos and videos   (Twitter) Tiffany Moon, MD, FASA, D.ABA (@TiffanyMoonMD) / X   (Tiktok) https:// www.tiktok.com/@tiffanymoonmd   (Facebook) https:// www.facebook.com/tiffanymoonmd/(Youtube)   Tiffany Moon, MD - YouTube

in Gamla Stan.Sv: Sommarens värme och glädje spred sig över hela torget.En: The warmth and joy of summer spread across the entire square.Sv: Klara och Erik promenerade långsamt mellan marknadsstånden.En: Klara and Erik strolled slowly between the market stalls.Sv: Klara hade ett bestämt uttryck i ansiktet.En: Klara had a determined expression on her face.Sv: Hon letade efter unika material till hennes senaste konstprojekt.En: She was searching for unique materials for her latest art project.Sv: Erik gick bredvid henne, ibland rynkade han pannan.En: Erik walked beside her, occasionally furrowing his brow.Sv: Han tyckte ofta att Klara var för idealistisk.En: He often thought Klara was too idealistic.Sv: "Vad är det du söker efter, Klara?"En: "What are you looking for, Klara?"Sv: frågade Erik, samtidigt som han sneglade på en skål med färska jordgubbar.En: asked Erik, while glancing at a bowl of fresh strawberries.Sv: "Jag vet inte exakt", svarade Klara.En: "I'm not sure exactly," Klara replied.Sv: "Men jag vet att jag kommer känna igen det när jag ser det."En: "But I know I'll recognize it when I see it."Sv: Torget var fyllt med färger och dofter.En: The square was filled with colors and scents.Sv: Blommor, frukter och gamla böcker fanns överallt.En: Flowers, fruits, and old books were everywhere.Sv: Klara stannade vid ett stånd med handgjorda textilier.En: Klara stopped at a stall with handmade textiles.Sv: Hon plockade upp en bit tyg med en vacker midsommardukning broderad på den.En: She picked up a piece of fabric with a beautiful midsummer setting embroidered on it.Sv: "Den är fin", sade hon och log.En: "It's lovely," she said, smiling.Sv: "Ja, men är den inte lite dyr?"En: "Yes, but isn't it a bit expensive?"Sv: Erik pekade på prislappen och höjde ett ögonbryn.En: Erik pointed at the price tag and raised an eyebrow.Sv: "Jag vet, men jag behöver något speciellt", sa Klara och la tillbaka tyget med en suck.En: "I know, but I need something special," Klara said, putting the fabric back with a sigh.Sv: De fortsatte gå från stånd till stånd.En: They continued walking from stall to stall.Sv: Klara prutade och förhandlade.En: Klara haggled and bargained.Sv: Hon kände att tiden höll på att rinna ut.En: She felt that time was running out.Sv: Hennes projekt behövde vara klart innan Midsommarafton.En: Her project needed to be completed before Midsummer's Eve.Sv: Erik följde henne tålmodigt, men han var allt mer skeptisk.En: Erik followed her patiently, but he was increasingly skeptical.Sv: "Jag tror du måste nöja dig med något mindre perfekt", sa Erik när de nästan gått hela torget runt.En: "I think you might have to settle for something less perfect," Erik said as they were nearing the end of the market.Sv: "Nej, jag kan inte göra det.En: "No, I can't do that.Sv: Jag måste hitta det rätta", svarade Klara, bestämd.En: I have to find the right one," Klara replied, determined.Sv: Plötsligt såg Klara något speciellt.En: Suddenly, Klara saw something special.Sv: En gammal kvinna sålde antika smycken och dekorationer.En: An old woman was selling antique jewelry and decorations.Sv: Där låg en fantastisk, handgjord blomsterkrans.En: There lay a magnificent, handmade flower crown.Sv: Den var precis vad Klara behövde.En: It was exactly what Klara needed.Sv: Men när hon frågade om priset, kändes hennes hjärta tungt.En: But when she asked about the price, her heart sank.Sv: "Det kostar mer än jag har råd med", sa hon tyst till Erik.En: "It costs more than I can afford," she whispered to Erik.Sv: Erik tittade på kransen och sedan på Klara.En: Erik looked at the crown and then at Klara.Sv: "Är det verkligen värt det?"En: "Is it really worth it?"Sv: frågade han.En: he asked.Sv: Klara tänkte länge.En: Klara thought for a long time.Sv: Kransen var perfekt, men det skulle kosta henne nästan alla hennes sparpengar.En: The crown was perfect, but it would cost her almost all her savings.Sv: Hon visste att om hon köpte den, skulle hon inte ha mycket pengar kvar.En: She knew that if she bought it, she wouldn't have much money left.Sv: "Jag måste ha den", beslutade hon slutligen.En: "I have to have it," she finally decided.Sv: Medan Klara tog fram sina pengar, suckade Erik.En: As Klara took out her money, Erik sighed.Sv: Men han hjälpte henne bära kransen.En: But he helped her carry the crown.Sv: "Jag förstår nu att det här är viktigt för dig", sa han.En: "I understand now that this is important to you," he said.Sv: "Jag uppskattar att du bryr dig, Erik", svarade Klara.En: "I appreciate that you care, Erik," Klara responded.Sv: Hon log när hon tittade på sin nya blomsterkrans.En: She smiled as she looked at her new flower crown.Sv: "Jag visste att jag skulle hitta det rätta till slut."En: "I knew I would find the right thing in the end."Sv: När de gick tillbaka genom torget, kände de båda att något hade förändrats.En: As they walked back through the square, both of them felt that something had changed.Sv: Klara insåg att Erik oroade sig för henne av omtanke.En: Klara realized that Erik worried about her out of concern.Sv: Erik såg på Klara med ny respekt för hennes passion och engagemang.En: Erik looked at Klara with new respect for her passion and dedication.Sv: Och så, med blomsterkransen i handen och en ny förståelse mellan dem, gick de hemåt genom Stockholms gamla gator, redo att fira en oförglömlig Midsommar tillsammans.En: And so, with the flower crown in hand and a new understanding between them, they walked home through Stockholm's old streets, ready to celebrate an unforgettable Midsummer together.
