About this listen

In this we dive deep into the concept of "Involution," a troubling trend emerging in East Asia where relentless overwork leads to stagnation rather than progress. Explore how this vicious cycle affects students, workers, and society at large, revealing the mental, physical, and social implications of striving to keep up in a world driven by relentless competition. From the intense pressures faced by Chinese students to the exhausting work culture in South Korea, we unravel the structural issues and cultural pressures that perpetuate this phenomenon. Join us as we discuss potential solutions, including redefining success and fostering innovation over mere survival.
