My Biggest Goal Of The Year

Staking my claim on 2024.

Finding Meaning, Analyzing Past Failures, Socratic Questioning, Meditation and Sex, Art Therapy

In this episode, I share studies on how meaning and purpose can combat financial stress, why we should analyze our past failures, why focusing too much on “I” is a sign of negativity, the importance of “socratic questioning” to challenge our beliefs, how meditation improves sex, and how taking art classes is good for your mental health.

Self-Defeating Humor, Materialism and Marriage, Pessimism, Favorite Songs, Holding Hands, Nostalgia

In this second episode of “Talking to Myself,” I share some new studies on self-defeating humor and psychological well-being, how materialism hurts marriages, empathizing with positive emotions, the benefits of pessimistic thinking, why you should listen to your favorite song over and over, how holding hands can sync brainwaves, how nostalgia can help with loneliness, and why turning 30 can be a motivating time.

Nature, Body Image, Writing and Sleeping, Saunas, Mindfulness and Kindness, Social Anxiety

In this first episode of "Talking to Myself," I share some big announcements about my new book deal, as well as some interesting studies on nature and body image, writing and sleeping, sauna bathing, mindfulness and kindness, and the relationship between volunteering and self-esteem. I also answer some of your guys questions on Twitter, including questions on social media and social skills, how to manage an anxiety episode, the effect of pornography on our minds, how to get "revenge" on people who hurt you, forgiving others, and the difference between psychology and neuroscience.
