    Episode 38 - The Anxious Generation

    I hope you all had a wonderful week. This episode is my review of Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation. It is a very interesting book. I think it is well presented, well thought out, and well argued. I agreed with just about everything in this book. I would love for you to point out to me where I, and Mr. Haidt, are wrong.

    Episode 37 - What Happened To You?

    I had the pleasure of listening to this book and loved it. It is heavy. It deals with trauma, focusing on childhood trauma...so it covers just about every horrible thing that can happen to a child in this day and age. But it is about how to help children with that trauma, and how to avoid inducing trauma responses. Fascinating stuff. I hope you enjoy my summary and thoughts.

    Episode 36 - The Courage to Be Disliked

    This episode, I take a look at The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga. This book dives into Adlerian Psychology...and I am not sure how accurately Adlerian Psychology is explained here because I know nothing about Adlerian Psychology. I also think that the authors did the translation from Japanese into English. All that said...I did not like this book. It seems too simplistic and the conversation between the student and the teacher is not well executed. But you'll have to listen to the episode to find out what I did like about the book.

    Episode 35 - Dare to Lead

    Hello! I hope you are all doing well and are safe. My family and I are doing just fine. Luckily, we weren't too affected by the fires. And my heart and prayers go out to those who were. This week, I review Brene Brown's Dare to Lead. Spoiler...I did not like it...most of it. But I did like one aspect of it quite a lot. Listen to the episode to find out what it is and see if you agree! As always, thanks for listening. Email me at selfhelpyourselfpodcast@gmail.com

    Episode 34 - Fluke

    Happy New Year!! I wish everyone a wonderful 2025. In celebration of the new year, I read Fluke by Dr. Brian Klaas. The book isn't really a "self-help" book, but it will influence the way you think about the world and where you fit in it. I found this book very interesting, thought-provoking, and disagreed with some of Dr. Klaas's arguments (but who am I?). All things considered, I would recommend you give it a read or a listen. It is worth it. Email the podcast at selfhelpyourselfpodcast@gmail.com

    Episode 32 - Why We Remember

    Hello! Happy Christmas Season to you all! Apologies for the tardiness of this episode. I have read Dr. Charan Ranganath's Why We Remember. It was voted the best science book of 2024. Not really self-improvement...but it was still interesting and I try to make some connections to the self-help world. I hope you enjoy the episode. Email me at selfhelpyourselfpodcast@gmail.com - I am looking for good books for 2025! Hit me with those new year's resolutions reads.

    Episode 31 - I Did a New Thing

    Welcome back to real life! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Now it is time to gear up for Christmas and the end of the year. With all that in mind, I read a very lighthearted self help book called I Did A New Thing by Tabitha Brown. It is easy. It is short. It may motivate you to try something new. Give this episode a listen and see if this book may be right for you! Email me at selfhelpyourselfpodcast@gmail.com Thanks for listening!
