Leon is a practising psychological therapist, and in his "Psychology Of" clubs, he breaks down, in simple terms, the psychology behind our most human decision-making systems. Why are you the way you are? Why are humans like this? Is it you? Your trauma? Your upbringing? Your experiences? How do all those affect how you see the world and act in it?

Tonight, let's look at the psychology surrounding something that touches all of our lives, directly or indirectly, the tangping movement!

Why are more and more people feeling tempted to quietly step away from the race? What happens psychologically when a generation begins to question ambition, productivity, and the promise that hard work will necessarily lead to fulfillment? And is the tangping (“lying flat”) movement really laziness and disengagement, or something deeper: exhaustion, disillusionment, self-protection, or even resistance? In this discussion, we’ll explore the psychology behind one of the most talked-about social movements of recent years and what it reveals about modern life, pressure, identity, and the human condition.

Together, we’ll examine the emotional and behavioural roots of tangping through the lens of psychology, sociology, and lived experience. Why do some people withdraw when systems feel overwhelming or unwinnable, while others push harder? Is “lying flat” an unhealthy coping mechanism, a rational adaptation, or perhaps even a search for a different definition of meaning and success? We’ll discuss burnout, motivation, learned helplessness, social expectations, freedom, and the tension between individual wellbeing and collective pressure. This will be a thoughtful, nuanced, and open conversation welcoming all perspectives, whether you deeply relate to tangping, strongly disagree with it, or are simply curious about why the movement resonates so strongly with so many people today.
