Olga Khazan on The Science and Promise of Personality Change | EP 667
23 September - 47 minsIn this episode of Passion Struck, John R. Miles is joined by Olga Khazan, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of Me, But Better, for a transformative conversation about the science and promise of personality change.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Can I really change who I am?” this episode is your evidence-based invitation to try.
