Self-Defeating Humor, Materialism and Marriage, Pessimism, Favorite Songs, Holding Hands, Nostalgia The Emotion Machine

In this second episode of “Talking to Myself,” I share some new studies on self-defeating humor and psychological well-being, how materialism hurts marriages, empathizing with positive emotions, the benefits of pessimistic thinking, why you should listen to your favorite song over and over, how holding hands can sync brainwaves, how nostalgia can help with loneliness, and why turning 30 can be a motivating time.
