66: Guy Winch | How to Fix a Broken Heart Jul 10, 2018

Show notes

Guy Winch (@GuyWinch) is a licensed psychologist, leading advocate for integrating the science of emotional health into our daily lives, workplaces, and education systems, and author of How to Fix a Broken Heart.

What We Discuss with Guy Winch:

While our physical body works overtime to heal itself when injured, our mind counterintuitively works against healing the wounds of emotional trauma. Guy explains why this happens and why it's imperative to intervene.
The insidious lengths to which the mind will go to keep us perpetually experiencing pain and how we can take back control from our default autopilot.
We can't passively count on time to heal all wounds. We need to take a more active role in our recovery from an emotional wound.
If you shame someone who is coping with the death of a pet or otherwise lack the ability to empathize with their pain, you might be kind of a monster.
Getting comfortable asking for help when we're recovering from emotional trauma helps others understand that it's okay for them to ask for help as well.
And much more...

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

How do you continue to have a relationship with a family member in which you can focus more on positive things you have in common rather than what he or she is stressed or anxious about?

How do you reframe a job -- that's got amazing perks but doesn't challenge you -- and change your mindset so you don't get stuck in a rut?
Addiction to anything is a struggle -- even if it's "just" video games and pot. But how can you kick your addictions when you're burned out on real life and don't really know how to relate to other people?
Should you go for your dream job even if it forces you to move thousands of miles away from your significant other?
Qualified relationship expert Duana Welch tags in to dispense good advice to someone looking to get out of a red flag, jealousy-driven, abusive relationship.
If thinking about using social media gives you anxiety and you experienced a sense of great relief when you deactivated your Facebook account, do you even need social media to make friends in the 21st century?
When making conversation, you tend to ramble and blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. How can you cut back on the awkwardness?

Show notes

Daniel Pink (@DanielPink) is the author of New York Times Best Seller When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, which examines the psychology, biology, and economics behind scheduling for optimal effect -- and why your ideal time to get something done may widely differ from someone else's.

What We Discuss with Daniel Pink:

Timing is everything -- but we're only now beginning to connect the dots between fields of research to discover the science behind how timing actually works.
How humans are wired for time by chronotypes, how to identify our own particular chronotype, and what we can do to match our schedules to this chronotype.
What the trough is, how it differs according to chronotype, and how it affects the decisions we make -- for better or worse.
How observing the nappuccino and other restorative breaks during the day can minimize the worst effects of the trough.
Why lunch is really the most important meal of the day.
And much more...

Why on Earth would you get into a workplace relationship?
How do you do Internet research on people you'd like to meet without feeling like a stalker?
