Episode notes

This chapter delves into a study on successful women experiencing impostor syndrome, showcasing how they doubt their qualifications and attribute their success to luck or errors. It also explores the positive effects of living by the seaside on emotional well-being, discussing the psychological impact of coastal environments and the restorative nature of nature for mental clarity and peace.

We have found some pretty amazing ways to observe human behaviour and from it, discovered some especially interesting things about how we operate, who we are at our core, our irrational beliefs and so much more. In today's episode, we break down five of my favourite psychology studies of all time from jam, to mental escapism and binge watching TV, how many friends we actually need, the healing power of nature and the origins of imposter syndrome. Listen now!
