    E88 Book Club 9: Outliers

    Malcolm Gladwell challenges the notions of how we view success. It doesn't exist in a vacuum and is typically the byproduct of little coincidences that combine into the outliers we know and love. Guiding questions: 1. What is in my environment currently that I can leverage for my success? 2. Am I putting in the time/effort to reach my goals? 3. What poor habits have I picked up that are limiting me? 4. What innovation is on the horizon in our society that I can begin to utilize now? SUBSCRIBE & JOIN THE INTELLECTUAL FAM!!

    E82 Book Club 8: Adult Children Of Emotionally Immature Parents

    Somewhere between feeling seen and being retraumatized... Lindsay C. Gibson's Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents exposes the psychological consequences of growing up with emotionally immature or unavailable parents. Though well-intentioned and informative, highlighting the loneliness the children feel but don't have the tools to describe, the solutions that Gibson provides have their limitations. And even worse? Serve to perpetuate the narrative that lowers the quality of your relationships. We believe this information works best as part of a broader therapeutic approach.

    E81 Pseudo-Intellectual Self-Help Nonsense

    Mel Robbins... Is she an altruistic, caring friend to those in need? Or... Is she an insidious manipulator using psychology to become the Parasocial Relationship Final Boss? The answer is YES, yet in the attention economy, can the methods employed for success really be considered "evil"? Tune in as Jem & Renee get to the bottom of it, exploring the parallel between self-help "gurus" and religious institutions. SUBSCRIBE & JOIN THE INTELLECTUAL FAM!!
