How to Fail Better (from Fail Better with David Duchovny) Sep 02, 2024

Show notes

To be human is to fail — period. And not just to fail once, but to fail a lot. As the author Samuel Beckett said: “Fail again. Fail better.” Why are we, and so many others, so deeply concerned by failure? And if it’s something we all do so often, why are we so afraid of it — especially those of us here in win-at-all-costs America? This is an episode of Fail Better with David Duchovny, from Lemonada Media.
Join host David Duchovny as he sits down with actor and comedian Kumail Nanjiani as they share Kumail’s recently found new ways of approaching his life, relationship and career with more presence and joy, rather than stressing about the outcome. Listen to new episodes of Fail Better wherever you get your podcasts.

How to fight perfectionism (from The Happiness Lab) Aug 12, 2024

Show notes

On Fixable, we're always trying to help listeners solve problems in the best way possible, but holding yourself to impossibly high standards is the other side of the coin that can make solving any work problem miserable. We’re sharing an episode of The Happiness Lab, hosted by Dr. Laurie Santos where she hears from researcher Thomas Curran about a worrying growth in perfectionism in society, and asks "recovering perfectionist" Jordana Confino how to tackle the nagging voice in your head telling you to always psh yourself and work harder.
Yale professor Dr. Laurie Santos has studied the science of happiness and found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will truly make our lives better. Each week, she will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising and inspiring stories that will change the way you think about happiness on The Happiness Lab.
