    You 2.0: Fighting Despair

In the final installment of this year's You 2.0 series, we talk with psychologist Jamil Zaki about how we become disillusioned and distrustful of the world, and how to balance realism with hope.

    Your Questions Answered: Ethan Kross on Mental Chatter

    Our brains process an astonishing amount of information. We imagine what's happening in the minds of other people. We invent, and dream, and create. Unfortunately, there's a downside. Our brains can also torment us with intrusive and negative thoughts. We talked about this with psychologist Ethan Kross, who studies the concept of mental chatter. Today, Ethan returns to the show to answer listeners' follow-up questions about how we can cope with these harsh and incessant voices in our heads. If you missed our original episode with Ethan Kross, be sure to check it out! It's the episode called "Befriending Your Inner Voice." You can find it in this podcast feed, or on our website. https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/you-2-0-befriending-your-inner-voice/

    You 2.0: How To Say No

    Saying no to someone who asks for something is often easier said than done. Maybe it's a boss who wants you to take on a new assignment. Or your kid's teacher, seeking volunteers for a field trip. Or a friend who asks you to lend her money. How should we respond to these demands on our time, energy, and resources? This week, psychologist Vanessa Patrick explores why it's so hard to say no, and how we can set boundaries that will make it easier to do so.

    You 2.0: Taking Control of Your Time

    Many of us feel like there aren't enough hours in the day. We struggle to make time for all the competing demands at work and at home, and inevitably feel like we're letting someone down. But what if there were a way to reclaim our time and, as a result, get more joy out of our lives? In the second episode of this year's You 2.0 series, psychologist Cassie Mogilner Holmes explains how we've fallen victim to the illusion of time scarcity, and what we can do to spend our time more wisely.

    Conversation Starters: What Are You Laughing At?

    If you listen closely to giggles, guffaws, and polite chuckles, you can discern a huge amount of information about people and their relationships with each other.
