In today’s episode of Balanced Ambition, therapist and coach Simon Bostock shares how his own career shift from corporate life to counselling helped him understand something deep and universal:
We are not built for the way we live now.
Simon unpacks:
-
The crisis of loneliness among young men
-
Why modern convenience has quietly robbed us of resilience
-
How our brains are wired for tribes, movement, and meaningful connection
-
The simple, daily habits that reduce anxiety and help you thrive
He also shares real stories from his work with students, offering practical tools you can use — from sleep and breathwork to gratitude and human contact — to rebuild calm, purpose, and connection in a chaotic world.
