Based on his book 'You Are Enough: Mentally Healthy in a Disturbed World' (2022), Thijs explains how to stand firm in a world of performance pressure, happiness terror, and ridiculously high expectations. The idea that you must be even happier and even more successful, along with the feeling of never being good enough, is ingrained in our time. No matter how hard you try to 'improve yourself', there is always something about yourself to be dissatisfied with. Thijs shows that connection is the antidote in a world of never-enough.
