About Pathologically Overanalyzing

I think open conversations with friends are the most valuable treasure trove of information available to us. It is in these conversations that we get to the core of human nature, that we learn what really matters to people, what impacts their emotions, and how. I had many of those conversations in my day-to-day life and wanted to share. So I started recording. My name is Ben Maher, and on this podcast, I have conversations with my friends about love, friendship, family, mindfulness, motivation, acceptance, creativity, personal growth, and more, to get to the bottom of how people actually work.

Being Quiet, Being Loud, Being Manipulative, and More with Zach

I didn't actually listen to this whole thing before posting it, but I listened to some of it and the title vaguely describes some of the parts I listened to.

Being Overwhelmed, Pursuing Desire, Questioning Humanity, and A Bit about AI

Somewhat out of laziness, I go it alone for this one. Listen to me ramble about being very busy, but trying to stay grounded in what I'm doing, connecting to my human emotions, and considering our changing human values as AI becomes more prominent.

Film with Mackenzie Arnolds

Mackenzie and I spoke about films as true art vs. commercial products, her narrow, hard-to-define criteria of what makes a film truly great, the effect of character and what makes good characters, and more. Enjoy!

Social Circles with Zach Fertal

How do you break the surface tension of a social circle? Are we comfortable with them stagnating, or do we always seek growth? How do different layers of circles merge? How important is proximity and shared activities in the maintenance of social groups? Zach and I discuss all these questions and more in this episode.

Short, Medium, and Long-term Focus with James Concepcion

We did a deep dive on focus: the effect of having long-term focus on a singular goal, the necessity to exercise focus in the short and medium term, what helps focus, and what hurts it. We also discuss the interplay between focus and motivation, and the tension between focus and shame. All of this happens in the context of James's current medical school trajectory and my own goals with this podcast. Enjoy! Also! There is intro music now! That is curtesy of my friend Joe Bosco, whose other work you can find on Spotify (check him out, he's fantastic).

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
