Is it a bad thing to be average? Socrates Professor of Psychiatry & Philosophy Sanneke de Haan shares her insights in the podcast Loket voor het leven, in which she addresses questions such as: when do we consider someone average or special? And how special is the life of a 'special person'? In any case, you don't have to be special to lead a good life, De Haan believes.
Calling yourself special is a little bit uncomfortable. But does that make you average? And is that bad? That is the question central to the second episode of Loket voor het Leven, a podcast by Trouw.
