How Mastering Chess Can Improve Your Mental Health

Admittedly, I’m no master of chess, so I don’t know if this is true. That said, I’ve spent a lot of my free time playing chess recently and trying to become better at it. What I find crazy is how many parallels I’ve found between the game of strategy and my mental health. Maybe it’s because I have an unhealthy obsession of the game and think about it all the time or maybe it’s because there are actually parallels. No matter the reason, that’s what I’m going to talk about this episode. I hope you enjoy!

I am not a doctor, so do not treat this as therapy or medical advice. I just do this podcast with the hopes that it can help some people.
