In 'Indistractable', Nir Eyal delves into the root causes of distraction, arguing that it starts from within and is driven by the desire to escape discomfort. The book offers a four-step, research-backed model to help readers master internal triggers, manage time effectively, hack back external triggers, and prevent distractions with pacts. Eyal also discusses how distraction affects various aspects of life, including work, relationships, and parenting, and provides novel techniques to overcome these challenges and live a more focused life.
In 'The Expectation Effect', David Robson delves into the cutting-edge science of how our mindset influences every facet of our lives. The book highlights the power of the expectation effect, where what we believe can significantly impact our reality. Robson discusses topics such as the placebo and nocebo effects, how expectations can affect health outcomes, and how reframing our thoughts can improve fitness, reduce anxiety, and even extend our lives. The book is backed by extensive research and provides practical advice on managing expectations to achieve a better life.
Today’s conversation is a special solo recording to celebrate hitting the milestones of 250 episodes.
I have collated a range of the moments, insights and lessons from the brilliant guests I’ve been able to host over the last 250 episodes.
And what a bank of episodes I have been able to choose from. It’s been quite a journey. Over 4 years since Episode 1.
We’ve poured a lot in to the last 250 episodes, it’s almost 300 hours or 18,000 minutes of recording. And there’s been a lot more time invested behind the scenes.
Contacting guests, Scheduling, the deep research which my podcast is known for, editing, publishing, the social media promotion, sharing, and interacting.
It’s been a huge project and I’ve learnt so much. I’ve picked just 15 Lessons to share with you today from guests including Sahil Bloom, Chris Williamson, Richard Dickson, Dr Julie Gurner and many more.
