Dr. John Delony is a mental health and wellness expert with over two decades of experience working as a researcher, educator, and crisis responder. He is the host of the wildly successful, and live-changing advice-giving Dr. John Delony show, and bestselling author of Own Your Past, Change Your Future: A Not-So-Complicated Approach to Relationships, Mental Health, and Wellness. In this episode, John and I have a wide-ranging conversation centered around the neuropsychology research and personal anecdotes covered in Own Your Past, Change Your Future. We discuss big questions concerning nature and nurture, free will and determinism, child development and parenting, puberty and hormones, finding a balance between motivation and perfectionism, and the neuropsychology of anxiety, and hear a sneak preview of John’s next book.
