In my journalism, I've made the case for rediscovering unfashionable old-school psychoanalysis as a path to self-understanding; explored how the news took over reality; and argued that we should stop accusing people of being on the wrong side of history. I've also written about tackling overload by limiting your work-in-progress; tolerating the discomfort involved in getting better at your creative work; how to figure out if you're the underfunctioner or the overfunctioner in your relationship – and how liberating it is to remember that everyone is totally just winging it, all the time. 

I've appeared on podcasts including Ten Per Cent Happier, Hurry Slowly, The Art of Charm, Half Hour of Heterodoxy and How I Work. My email is oliver@oliverburkeman.com.
