My guest this week on Being Human is Tanmoy Goswami, who holds that rare distinction of being the world's only 'Sanity Correspondent' for, well, The Correspondent.
He is a passionate advocate for us talking more openly about mental health.
He first got on my radar with his article "From the myth of meritocracy to the rise of bullshit jobs – it's time we admit work doesn't make us happy" in which he lays out how our workplaces can not only make us unhappy but send us to an early grave.
Yes, things must change.

We talk:
- Moving away from the language of war in business
- Living with depression and anxiety
- What we really mean by recovery
- What we must change about our workplaces
- The dark side of mainstreaming the mental health conversation

Enjoy!

To our humanity,
Richard

Author and speaker Daniela Sieff is a former student of evolution under Richard Dawkins. She has turned her attention to trauma and its impacts. She brilliantly articulates the way adverse events and conditions shape our lives and how we can emerge from a Trauma World.

In this highly personal conversation, we cover:
- The definition of trauma
- Daniela's own turning point in her facing her past
- Healing versus curing trauma
- How society ignores the magnitude of child abuse, neglect and its effects
- How we can heal and why therapy works

Enjoy!

To our humanity,
Richard
