We become so convinced by these distorted messages, even though we know deep down they're not true. Here's the truth: we all carry uncertainty on some level and it is absolutely possible to manage anxious feelings. In this episode, I discuss 5 lies anxiety tells you and how to combat them.

The Science of Self-Awareness
Metacognition, or ‘thinking about thinking’, is the most important tool we have for understanding our own mind. It is what enables self-awareness as well as what lets us think about the minds of others. It is the ultimate human trait, and in its most rarefied forms is a power that neither other animals nor our current artificial intelligences have. Metacognition teaches us the limits of our own knowledge. Once we understand what it is and how it works, we can improve our performance and make better decisions. In this episode, I discuss my notes on ideas and concepts I found interesting from Know Thyself: The Science of Self-Awareness by neuroscientist Stephen Fleming.

Life Advice Most Fail To Take Seriously
Every life experience is unique and comes with its own set of challenges that offer us insights on how to navigate our lives a bit better each day. We don't always take advantage of this; instead, we keep on following practices that might be doing more harm than good in the long run. Even though these aren’t radical revelations – more like tasty reminders of how we should live our lives – sometimes even common knowledge needs to be reiterated in order for us to actually put it into practice. In this episode, I discuss life advice that most fail to take seriously.
