What is the Batman effect?
For many people, asserting themselves at work is a real challenge. There’s a lot of possible reasons for that, including stress, anxiety, new responsibilities, deadlines, personal issues or a lack of self-confidence for example. But there is an active congitive strategy, actually a pretty simple one, based on the psychological concept of "self-distancing," that could help you overcome these obstacles and become more confident in the workplace: the Batman effect.Batman is the powerful, vengeful, and ultra-confident alter ego of Bruce Wayne, a billionaire who was traumatised by the murder of his parents when he was a child. When he dons the Batsuit though, the adult consumed by sadness becomes the hero of Gotham City. In the same way, the Batman effect allows people to access their heroic selves. Why Batman ? Does it work for adults too ? How can I use the Batman effect then?

What is intuitive eating?
An IPSOS study from late 2020 found that 45% of people across the world were trying to lose weight at the time. In many cases, losing weight is beneficial for health, but a lot of the time, people want to achieve unrealistic body images which are projected by the media as being ideal.Of course, a popular way of doing so is by dieting, but the subject of today’s episode is pretty much the opposite of a traditional diet. Advocates of intuitive eating say that not only are diets not necessarily effective, but they also promote a complex and sometimes unhealthy relationship with food. That’s particularly true when it comes to extreme diets, like the Paleo diet or a juice diet. Where does the term come from? Isn't it normal to eat when hungry?
