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.

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.

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.

We also talk about the difference between selling products/services vs. asking for donations, how technology and automation will change the job market, and why "soft skills" like creativity and social skills are less replaceable than pure technical expertise.

Tara Cousineau is a clinical psychologist and author of the book "The Kindness Cure." In this chat, we discuss the current state of kindness (and cruelty) in our world and practical ways we can make kindness cool again. One big factor is how the internet and social media shape what we see in the world (with an emphasis on negative news) - this can lead to a "cool to be cruel" mentality. We also talk about the importance of both mindfulness and forgiveness when overriding our old impulses and instincts, and how this relates to being a kinder and nicer person in the future.
