In fact – as everyone who does it knows, whatever their age – volunteering is a great opportunity for personal growth and skills development, which are useful both in everyday life and in one’s career. So let’s put an end to the neighbourhood hero, our very own Superman, and those heart-warming gestures. Especially if you want to talk to someone in their twenties who has a feed full of content and a clinically certified allergy to uplifting exhortations. “You’re Better Than Before” takes a different approach: direct, down-to-earth, without any pretensions. It doesn’t tell you that you’ll be a special person. It tells you that you’ll become a more capable version of yourself: more organised, more empathetic, better able to fit into a group, handle the unexpected, and really listen to someone. It existed before you started.
