    Let your mind be unmindful

    Mindfulness seems like a good idea on paper, but is it practical? If you pay attention, there's a reason your mind drifts when it does. Fighting the drift by being mindful could be a huge waste of your mental resources. Related articles: Why mindfulness doesn't work What causes overthinking?

    Poets were the first psychologists

    Have you come across those people who dismiss psychological insights because they don't come from a peer-reviewed study? Yeah, don't be those people. Sure, studies are more credible than any other mode of understanding the human psyche, but that doesn't mean other modes aren't valuable. I illustrate this point by quoting some poets who had key insights about the human psyche, despite having no access to a research facility.

    Why overthinking isn't a thing

    Is overthinking really that big of a problem as people make it out to be? I don't think so. In this episode, I argue why there's no such thing as overthinking, and more than anything, thinking or thinking a lot should be encouraged. Related articles: What causes overthinking?

    You are the ultimate source of your own truth

    When it comes to understanding human behavior, the world is your classroom. Everything a human touches reveals a part of their psyche. And when it comes to understanding yourself, you are your own best source.

    Nothing in the mind is random

    How do you see the mind? I don't see it as a 'ghost in the machine'. It is the machine- the machine that needs to be studied and understood. We ought to be as rational and objective when observing our inner world as we tend to be when observing the external world.
