    The Age of Magical Overthinking

    The Age of Magical Overthinking

    In this podcast I talk to linguist, bestselling author and podcast host Amanda Montell about how cognitive biases impact the way we think about and show up in the world, how easy it is to fall into magical thinking, how impactful our perceptions are, why we tend to stay in bad relationships, and so much more!

    Amanda Montell is a New York Times-bestselling author and iHeart Radio Award-winning podcaster. Her nonfiction books include Cultish, Wordslut, and The Age of Magical Overthinking—an instant New York Times Bestseller 

    A big part of Amanda’s work and her latest book The Age of Magical Overthinking is trying to answer the question that, even with so much information at our fingertips, why does the world make less and less sense? In many ways, our innate human superstitions and irrational decision-making, which in may have served us well in the past, clashes with the information age, mass loneliness and the capitalistic pressure to know everything under the sun, which exacerbates many cognitive biases we have in the digital age.

    The dangers of black & white thinking

    The dangers of black & white thinking

    In this podcast I talk about how to move beyond black and white thinking and expand your mind. This is a replay of a Neurolive webinar I did on my app. For the full webinar AD-free, please see Neurocycle.app.



    Have you ever caught yourself thinking that there is only a right or wrong way think, with no in-between? This is called black and white thinking, and even though it’s pretty common, it can make us feel frustrated and stuck. Life exists on a spectrum, which means that sometimes we have to embrace the grey areas in between all that black and white!

Dr Leaf

I learn so much from you. Thanks Dr Leaf, also you are so amazing at interviewing people & bring out the best. It’s truly a gift in you. You also are such a gift to all of us. Thanks Caron

Ears and heart wide open ,

Light bulb moment !!

I dip in and out of Dr Leaf’s podcast as stuff comes up in my life, there will always be an episode that resonates. This show was exactly what I needed to unlock a recent encounter with intrusive thoughts around imposter syndrome, feeling like I wasn’t good enough, smart enough, incapable of putting my coaching business online. Thank you Dr Leaf, this episode has given me a new set of tools to unpack and reconstruct my intrusive thoughts that were totally paralyzing me. Loved it😘

Too Much

I am sure this lady knows a lot but her podcasts are annoying. She talks so much about herself with a multitude of anecdotal side items that do nothing to improve my knowledge and understanding regarding the subject matter. It’s highly irritating and also time-wasting. Let the guests get to the point and save the chitchat for coffee after the show. We are all busy people.
