Allison Williams On: Perfectionism, Defensiveness, and the Horror Movies We All Make in Our Minds

This is the 10% Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hey gang, today I'm talking to my old friend Allison Williams, who's the star of a new hit horror movie, and we're talking about the horror movies we all make in our own minds. We also talk about perfectionism, defensiveness, child rearing, people pleasing, handling criticism, and much more. You may know Alison from her star turn on the hit HBO show Girls, or from her starring role in the movie Get Out, or from Megan, the horror movie, or its sequel Megan 2.0, which just came out.

Alison is very busy in movies and television, but she also has a podcast of her own. It's a new one. It's called Landlines. It just started. We'll talk about that before the end of this interview.

I think you're going to enjoy this one. Allison and I have known each other for quite a long time. We're personal friends. I met her when she was just out of college. Before we dive in, though, I just want to say two things.
