Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: How do you maintain the momentum of your self-improvement milestones in the wake of a difficult breakup? Do you need continuous novelty in your professional life? In any industry, it's better to spend eight hours to miss the chance to work for a narcissist than eight months -- or eight years. But sometimes it's hard to spot them when the industry is entertainment. How do you approach someone cold and build rapid trust with them when you're an INTJ who only knows how to flirt with disaster? Is getting your hopes up just a recipe for disappointment, or should you embrace the motivation of excitement when it strikes? How do you keep your feelings in check when you have an unrequited crush on a colleague who flirts with people who aren't you? What's the best (and worst) way of asking for advice from us?

Her first book, Cringeworthy: A Theory of Awkwardness, is out now.

How we can stop stop reliving embarrassing memories. How to remap and reframe feelings of awkwardness or embarrassment and use them to our advantage. And much more...

"If you have to use willpower, it's because you actually haven't made a choice yet." -Benjamin Hardy What We Discuss with Benjamin Hardy: Your personality doesn't shape your behavior; your behavior shapes your personality. If you can't create and control your environment, your environment creates and controls you. What automaticity is and how it frees you up to be mindful of what matters. The four sources of willpower and why willpower doesn't work. Your identity is not fixed: how changing your behavior changes how you evaluate yourself -- and who you are. And much more...

Now that you have those feelings for her, she's interested in someone else. What to do? You keep dating people who tell you you're someone they would want to marry but not date. What is that supposed to mean? Due to one unfortunate decision, you're broke and your best friend is a millionaire. How do you stop yourself from poisoning a long-term friendship with toxic jealousy or reverse the depressive spiral it's slowly throwing you into? How can you focus on cultivating a more confident vocal tone when conversing in a language not your own? Is it possible to get people interested in something they don't prioritize? Is there room for a relationship with someone who's needy in the life of a true workaholic? What do you do when your new wife says she's not sure she's turned on by you anymore?

"The worst decision you make is always from acting out some feeling you usually don't know you have." -Denise Shull What We Discuss with Denise Shull: Why understanding what we feel and why we feel it is a source of power for creating change and spurring transformation.

Her latest book is The Four Tendencies: The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How to Make Your Life Better (and Other People's Lives Better, Too). What We Discuss with Gretchen Rubin: We tend toward one of four archetypes based on how we respond to expectations: Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels. Understanding these tendencies improves the ways we motivate and influence ourselves and others. We explore each tendency and how we can optimize our mental models and self-talk to get ourselves on the right track. We learn how to spot these tendencies in others and ensure we're using the right types of incentives and communication to get the best from those around us. Take the quiz 600,000 others have taken to better understand how these frameworks can galvanize significant and lasting change. And much more...
