The Jordan Harbinger Show

Todd Kashdan (@toddkashdan) is a Professor of Psychology and Senior Scientist at the Center for the Advancement of Well-Being at George Mason University and co-author of The Upside of Your Dark Side: Why Being Your Whole Self -- Not Just Your "Good" Self -- Drives Success and Fulfillment. What We Discuss with Todd Kashdan: Why trying to be positive and happy all the time may be harming your ability to get things done and achieve the results you want. How what you may think of as negative emotions -- like anger -- can be useful superpowers with the proper awareness and application. The problem with living in a time and place when distraction from discomfort comes in an easier and greater variety than ever before. Why every decision you make now is based on how you expect to feel in the future -- and you probably underestimate your ability to tolerate distress. How you can use the discomfort caveat to ease out of the "put on a happy face" rut around others. And much more...

Jordan (@JordanHarbinger) and Jason (@jpdef) are joined by Marni Kinrys (@winggirlmethod) for this round of Feedback Friday! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Is there a psychological issue at play if you can't help but look at a woman's cleavage in conversation? Is there a way to change this habit? Though you used to be outgoing and oblivious to what people thought of you, you've found yourself more shy and reserved in social situations lately. How can you get back to your normal stride? Here's one quick way to determine if trying to win back your "just a friend" ex is the right call for you. If you feel like you only have time to meet new people on Tinder, do you have time to invest in a serious relationship? How young is too young to move in with a significant other? How can a female athlete who's stuck in her social circle as "one of the guys" break out of the dreaded friend zone? What can you do to make it clear that you're non-sexual before you throw up when your best friend kisses you on the lips? The label of being "in a relationship" isn't all that high pressure -- you either are or you're not. So is your friend with benefits just keeping you around as an option? Recommendation of the Week: Gaga: Five Foot Two Quick shoutouts to Jimmy and Sam! Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com!

What We Discuss with Jason Flom: Why Jason has always rooted for the underdog -- from bullied siblings to sports teams to endangered species to the wrongfully incarcerated -- and how he's passed this sensibility along to the next generation of Floms. How one stays relevant in the entertainment industry, which is always asking: "What have you done for me lately?" The role relationships play at the top of the music game -- one of the most competitive industries on the planet. What we can learn from the wrongfully convicted, and why many of us are -- for the grace of good fortune -- just a hair away from a similar fate. Why Jason's bulldog is actually a rhinoceros and what he hopes this lesson will teach us about tolerance. And much more...

Jordan (@JordanHarbinger) and Jason (@jpdef) are joined by "Brutal" Linda Carroll (@Lovecycleslinda) for this round of Feedback Friday! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at friday@jordanharbinger.com. Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: How do you tell your friend he talks so much that other people don't want to be around him? And could there be underlying issues for his incessant jibber jabber? Is resenting your spouse just one symptom of living a life that seems out of your control? What does it mean to be a victim, and how can you start regaining control? It seems like you have most of the trappings of a fulfilling life -- so why are you too depressed to enjoy any of it? What's really missing from the equation? Is it possible your significant other -- who takes you for granted, talks down to you, and doesn't appreciate or attempt to reciprocate the effort you put into the relationship -- is just a jerk? Why did the person you're dating wait to tell you a few months into the relationship that she doesn't believe in monogamy? What's the next step to take when a volatile and potentially suicidal loved one constantly cries out to you for help but never follows the advice you try to give them? Recommendation of the Week: The Americans Quick shoutouts to John from Elcott City and Tom Bilyeu and his Impact Theory Fans! Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

Shane Snow (@shanesnow) is an award-winning entrepreneur and journalist, board member of The Hatch Institute, Founder at Large at Contently, and author of Dream Teams: Working Together Without Falling Apart. What We Discuss with Shane Snow: Why our differences allow us to become better together, but they almost always lead us to fear or fighting instead. How we can develop cognitive flexibility to become better problem solvers -- alone or as part of a group. How watching two to eight hours of fictional television per week can make us measurably open-minded. Why cognitive friction is the secret ingredient of breakthrough teams. The missing virtue of intellectual humility, how it can change everything about the way we interact and work -- and how to get more of it. And much more...
