I took a pill in Ibiza, and how to deal with peer pressure

You don’t wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me.
You don’t ever wanna step off that roller coaster
And be all alone. 

— “I Took A Pill in Ibiza,” Mike Posner

While not all of us are trying to show Avicii that we are cool, we are usually posing in some way, at some point in our lives. We use Instagram to show that our lives are beautiful and happy. When someone asks, “How are you?” we always autorespond, “Good, and you?”

We drink, we smoke, we chase sex and relationships, we eat too much, we eat too little, we spend too much money on things we don’t want… because we want people to like us. Because we want to prove ourselves.

This week’s podcast looks a bit closer at peer pressure and the drive to be popular. Where does it come from? What does it look like? How the h*ll can we stop it? It’s all here this week.
