About this episode
Ever agreed to something you didn't want to do—just to avoid disappointing someone? If this sounds familiar, you might be stuck in the people-pleasing trap: always prioritizing others' needs over your own, even when it leaves you exhausted. But why do we keep doing this? And what price do we really pay? / We recommend one film from the 15th Beijing International Film Festival: Se7en, the 1995 crime thriller directed by David Fincher (22:08). On the show: Heyang, Steve Hatherly & Yushun
