This chapter explores the concept of neurodiversity and its expanding definition, noting its popularity on platforms like TikTok. The speakers discuss the acceptance and admiration for being different in today's society, attributing it to an identity crisis and the need for belonging. They encourage individuals to embrace their unique selves and prioritize confidence and self-esteem.
Do I exist if I’m not on social media? Can I fake it till I make it? What’s the secret to a good life?
In this week’s episode, I enlist my old friend and host of the wildly popular The Psychology Podcast, Scott Barry Kaufman, PhD. to dissect our psyche in the social media age.
Reflecting on his personal experience and drawing on a wealth of psychological research, Scott asks—and answers—questions that might reveal aspects of yourself you never knew were there, and set you on the path to a better life.
We’re going to dive deep and get existential. We’re going to talk neurodiversity, vulnerability, and Batman. What more can you ask for?
Exactly. Go get it.
