In this episode of The Paul Taylor Podcast, I sit down with Jason Silver, author of "Your Grass is Greener," for a masterclass in building thriving workplaces and meaningful careers. Drawing from his extensive startup experience and behavioural science background, Jason challenges conventional wisdom about leadership, revealing why hiring for character trumps skills and how excessive consensus-seeking can paralyse organisations. We explore fascinating personal experiments in mindfulness and productivity, dissect the subtle ways workplace decisions go wrong, and uncover how giving people true autonomy can transform both results and job satisfaction. Whether you're leading a team, building a company, or seeking more fulfilment in your career, this conversation offers evidence-based insights and practical strategies for creating better outcomes at work and in life.
Key Topics:
Start-up Wisdom: What works and what doesn't in growing companies
Character-Based Leadership: Why values matter more than skills
Personal Development Experiments: Learning from personal experiments and failures
Mindfulness Practices: Making meditation and journaling work for you
Workplace Decision-Making: Moving past endless meetings and consensus
Professional Autonomy: Letting people choose how they work best
Behavioural Science in the Workplace: How our brain affects workplace choices
Key Takeaways:
Choose people based on who they are, not just what they can do. Remove those who don't match your values quickly.
Don't wait for everyone to agree. Have healthy debates, make clear choices, and move forward.
Write down your goals each morning and reflect on your day each evening.
Look out for people who say they support decisions but don't follow through with actions.
Give your team freedom to choose how they complete tasks, rather than controlling every step.
Try to find information that challenges what you think you know, rather than just confirming it.
Make people and culture your top priority, not just an afterthought.

Join me in this illuminating episode as I sit down with Professor John Read, a leading mental health researcher. Drawing from decades of research and clinical experience, Prof. Read explains how childhood trauma physically reshapes the brain, challenges the oversimplified "chemical imbalance" theory of depression, and reveals disturbing data about the efficacy of antidepressant medications. Through evidence-based insights and real patient experiences, Prof. Read explains why the current psychiatric system often fails those it aims to help, and why many people struggling with mental health deserve better options than just medication.
Key Topics:
Childhood Trauma and Mental Health: How early life trauma physically changes the brain and affects mental health in adulthood
Critique of Modern Psychiatry: Examining the flaws in current psychiatric diagnostic systems and treatment approaches
Antidepressant Medication: Efficacy and Concerns: Antidepressants vs Placebo and their side effects
Pharmaceutical Industry Influence: How drug companies shape mental health research and treatment decisions
Alternative Treatment Approaches: Exploring non-medication options for managing mental health
Medication Withdrawal Support: Practical advice for safely stopping psychiatric medications
Future of Mental Health Care: Discussing hopes for reform in mental health treatment, including moving away from ECT
Actionable Takeaways:
Remember that mental health is complex and not just about brain chemistry - explore all factors affecting your wellbeing.
Share your life experiences and any past trauma with your mental health provider, as these significantly impact your current health.
Research multiple treatment options beyond medication, as antidepressants aren't always more effective than placebos.
If stopping antidepressants, create a careful tapering plan with your doctor to avoid confusing withdrawal symptoms with returning depression.
Focus on sleep, exercise, diet, and social connections as powerful tools for mental health improvement.
Before taking any psychiatric medication, investigate both benefits and risks using independent sources.
Connect with support groups and advocacy organisations for guidance through your mental health journey.
