ReThinking · Creative anxiety, self-doubt, and procrastination with Fredrik Backman · 23 Jun 2026 podcast

I mean you just answered actually two of the questions I wanted to ask you about there were a couple lines in my friends that really stuck with me and they seem to be very self descriptive now as I you know, as I hear you talk about yourself. matched

So I'll I'll just read them to you. matched

One was you wrote, He was good at seeing beauty in everything. matched

That happens if you're no good at seeing it in yourself. matched

Oh yeah, that that might be something you have lived. matched

And then the other one is it's a lie that people are scared of being alone because what we fear is being abandoned. matched

You can choose to be alone, but no one chooses to be left. matched

Were those both autobiographical statements? matched

It's well you could have fooled me. matched

Wow. matched

I you know, I find it so difficult sometimes to convince people who are hard on themselves to build self-compassion and you know, show themselves a little more kindness and understanding and not constantly just bereith themselves. matched

And matched

I think I've always tried to highlight the benefits to them. matched

And I've sometimes I'll even go into the research and say, look, there's this whole body of of evidence spear-handed by Kristen Neff that shows that you are happier, you're less depressed, you're less anxious. matched

I never thought to frame self compassion as something that actually benefits the people around you. matched

that if you are a little bit kinder to yourself, you will be a better matched

parent, better partner, better creator, better colleague. matched

I'm gonna try this. matched

It was my best mess. matched
