Every so often you come to some moment in life, that moment of truth. Your choice is going to have a huge effect on your life and maybe the type of person you're going to become. Therapy can help you stay connected to what you really want while you navigate life. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
The Summer of Cormac McCarthy continues – this time we dive into his one piece of non-fiction, the short essay “The Kekulé Problem.” How does our unconscious mind solve problems that conscious deliberation can’t crack? Why does it often work elliptically, in code, rather than giving us the answer directly in language? Is McCarthy right that the unconscious doesn’t trust language because it’s such a newcomer to the human brain?
Plus we select the finalists for our listener selected episode – thanks to our beloved patrons for all their terrific suggestions!
