A Paradox That Makes You Miserable & How We Amplify Our Own Stress

At some point, most men have likely been told they eat too fast – that they should slow down and enjoy their food more. Do men really eat faster than women? Should they slow down? This episode begins with a brief exploration and explanation. https://bigthink.com/surprising-science/study-men-and-women-chew-differently/ Here is something you likely haven’t thought about much – it’s a paradox really… Humans are dependent on one another. Our happiness and survival require that we connect with others and be part of the group. Yet we also have a need to chart our own course – to be autonomous. This paradox creates a tricky balance that seems to have gotten out of whack. This has created a lot of problems that directly affect you in ways you have never thought about. But you are about to. Listen to my guest William von Hippel. He is a former professor of psychology at Ohio State University who has been featured in the New York Times, USA Today, The Economist, and the BBC. He is also author of the book, T he Social Paradox: Autonomy, Connection, and Why We Need Both to Find Happiness (https://amzn.to/3DI67pE). There are things in your life that cause you stress. Yet, if you are like most people you have a tendency to compound that stress by imagining all sorts of other possibilities. You may start to catastrophize, think about what else could go wrong, and ultimately “ What If ” yourself into a frenzy. That is why you need to listen to my guest, Jennifer Taitz a clinical psychologist and an assistant clinical professor in psychiatry at University of California, Los Angeles, and author of the book Stress Resets: How to Soothe Your Body and Mind in Minutes (https://amzn.to/43RdghQ) Have you noticed whenever you type a document that you can choose from an almost endless list of fonts? Of course, you probably have a default font you use without thinking about it. But what fonts do people prefer to read? Which are the easiest to read. Listen to hear which fonts are sure winners – and one big loser. https://nerdfighteria.info/v/7g_7Cr1vEnM PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!! FACTOR : Eat smart with Factor!
