We examine 9 different cognitive biases related to Ego and how we can spot them.
Learn:

Why we fall in love for the wrong reasons

Is society sick? Are we sick? Let's treat our drive to conform as a disorder we can diagnose and fix.
This episode is a hypothetical deep dive where we treat our obedience to social pressure like other personality disorders.
Main topics:
DSM-5 entry for Social Pressure Personality Disorder (SPPD)
2 contrasting case studies
Crossovers with other disorders
How to manage and break out of your social pressure problems
We develop a set of symptomatic criteria, case studies and a treatment plan to get us to live an independent life on our terms.
This is an obvious episode for anyone wanting to take charge of their life instead of their life living them. It's also designed to help you think like a psychologist and imagine how a therapist would approach diagnosing and treating such a disorder if it existed.
It's an experimental format. Comments are much appreciated!

~11% of men are addicted to porn (+3% of women). You know a LOT of porn addicts.
Today's episode discusses:
Why is porn addiction not discussed openly?
Why is it so shameful to talk about?
Why is the problem only getting worse?
How do we create better systems for recovery?
On the show, we have Eric Zusack (Powerful Eic) a porn addiction coach. He spent 20 years in therapy for his own porn addiction. He finally recovered by breaking out of the disease model of addiction and instead taking ownership of his own power.
We discuss the many ways porn is harming society and getting worse and what to do about it.

A fresh look at what it means to be wise - beyond age and experience.
Sam challenges and expands upon traditional views of wisdom, to redefine wisdom to be more useful and true.
By examining how wisdom influences our life decisions and embracing a broader definition of wisdom, we invite listeners to reconsider their perceptions of wisdom.
Personal wisdom begins with acknowledging that wisdom is not exclusively born from age or experience but emerges from making wise choices for personal happiness and understanding wisdom through self-acceptance in your circumstances and embracing who you are.
