  • Summary

  • Join Andy for a fascinating dive into the “Cobra Effect,” a real-life cautionary tale of how a British Raj’s well-intentioned bounty on cobras dramatically backfired.

    This episode explores how our best efforts to fix or control situations - whether it’s curbing pesky snakes or managing our public image - can sometimes cause us more trouble than what we started with.

    With examples ranging from Barbra Streisand’s unintended viral moment to a reflection on modern social media, this episode is a bit of a cage rattler, with some big thinking about how we manage mental health around the world.

    Maybe a simple shift in perspective might just be the antidote?
