Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: Your brother in law is a narcissist with a bad case of PLOM (Poor Little Old Me) Disease and is clearly in the mindset to cheat on your sister -- if he hasn't already. Is it your place to warn her even though it'll devastate the family? Is it your fault that you -- and the rest of your coworkers -- are always disappointing your boss because you never seem to be able to read her mind and discern her intentions? Using the networking skills we teach in Six-Minute Networking, how do you actively develop new contacts? When your current job was able to accommodate your needs in order to retain you, you had to renege on another job offer you had already accepted. How do you reach out to make peace and mend a bridge you never intended to burn? When you have an estranged parent who has only lied to you and disappointed you over the course of your entire life, how should you take their disclosure of a personal tragedy? After graduation, you'll have three months until you start your full-time job. Should you use the money you've saved up through college to travel for those three months, or should you use it to pay your student loans? You work in an office full of people who share political views that widely differ from your own. Should you put up with it quietly, offer your counterpoints, just pretend to agree with them to avoid friction, or look for a new job entirely? When you live in a country overrun by state-driven propaganda, what's the best way to stay informed of real current events so you can critically weigh the evidence and formulate your own views?

Kristen Carney (@KristenCarney) is a comedian, writer, host of the Mentally Ch(ill) and Ask Women podcasts, and someone who publicly copes with -- as many silently do -- depression. What We Discuss with Kristen Carney: Understand why someone who seems to have it all on the outside might really be dying on the inside. Deal with the aftermath when someone close takes their own life -- even when part of you empathizes with their reasons. Be your own champion: reach out to your family and friends who support you through the highs and lows before you're at your wit's end. How the Internet has exacerbated suicidal tendencies since the '90s. Why comparing our blooper reel to the highlight reel of others will always lead to our downfall. And much more...

David Buss (@ProfDavidBuss) is considered the world's leading scientific expert on the evolutionary psychology of human mating strategies. He is the author of several books on the subject, most recently The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human Mating. What We Discuss with David Buss: How dating apps work and what they're doing to our brains. Mate-switching strategies: why affairs happen and the mechanisms at play. How we can track our own mate value to keep our relationships strong and secure. Why mating strategies tend to be universal even if their cultural variations seem to suggest otherwise. Why a vacation with your partner is a good stress-test for seeing what might be in store for your future together. And much more...

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 partaking of a small amount of marijuana in the evening akin to relaxing with a glass of wine at the end of the day, or are you just lying to yourself in order to justify an unhealthy addiction? Also: is it worth the risk if it's not legal in your area? How do you become essential to a fast-growing company that has so much to offer your career among a peer group with a competitive but respectful corporate spirit? How do you navigate the chain of command without stepping on toes when you know your boss' boss is more competent than your boss and prefer to work with her when something needs to be done? You're naturally shy and don't have much contact with your old friends these days. How do you work up the courage to go out and meet people who have the potential to be your new friends? You've graduated from high school and now you're in a gap year before you go to college. You've been offered a management position at your current job, but it would further delay your college plans. Should you take the opportunity for promotion, or stick with your plan to start school next year? Are you crazy for wanting to transition away from a well-paying job with great benefits toward a sustainable digital nomad lifestyle -- especially when you and your wife are planning to raise a family? Is the idea of going back to college your solution for being unable to cope with the stress of your challenging job, or are you just not adjusting to being the low person on the totem pole?

Freeway Rick Ross (@FreewayRicky) managed a billion-dollar drug empire in the age of Iran-Contra, now helps rebuild at-risk communities, and is featured in the Emmy-nominated documentary Freeway: Crack in the System. What We Discuss with Freeway Rick Ross: How Rick went from a tennis scholarship track in high school to a young adulthood making cocaine appealing and affordable for a growing urban clientele. The escalation of Rick's business model thanks to an immensely helpful Nicaraguan connection during the Reagan administration. Why Rick wished he had more hours a day in prison -- a place where most people are just looking to kill time. The story behind the ex-prison guard rapper who uses Rick's name and why he's legally allowed to do so. How Rick overcame illiteracy later in life and the must-read books he recommends for anyone with (legal) entrepreneurial ambitions. And much more...

Nadya Tolokonnikova (@tolokno) is one of feminist art punk collective Pussy Riot's most visible members, and she's the author of Read & Riot: A Pussy Riot Guide to Activism. What We Discuss with Nadya Tolokonnikova: The roots of Nadya's distrust of authority -- and why she became a headstrong activist against it at an age when many Americans are only beginning to discover themselves. What Pussy Riot's protest art aims to accomplish by openly defying such authority. What life in a Russian prison labor camp is really like and how Nadya and her bandmates survived their sentence for "hooliganism" there. How today's young people are making contributions to their communities in ways undreamt of just a generation ago (and often pulling bigger paychecks than their parents). The potential perils of shoplifting to survive for eight years and creating DIY music in a corrupt police state without a stunt double. And much more... Does your business have an Internet presence?

Robert Greene (@RobertGreene) is the author of five New York Times Best Sellers. His highly anticipated sixth book, The Laws of Human Nature, is out now. What We Discuss with Robert Greene: Why you can't monumentally improve your life by modifying your behavior if you don't understand what causes such behavior. Why it's liberating to understand that the reason other people react to you in whatever way they do has more to do with them and their own baggage than you and yours. How oversimplifying the impression you have of someone robs you of the ability to relate to them beyond a surface level -- and what you can do to change the game. Why your lower nature seems to be the default you'll fall into without effort and what it takes to tap into the potential of your higher nature. The difference between active and passive envy, where envy comes from, why it's so often destructive, and how you can flip envy to your benefit. And much more...

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: The idea of having children with your partner out of wedlock might not matter to society as much as it used to, but it might matter more to your partner than is apparent. You don't always need to see your doctor waving a huge red flag in order to seek a second opinion, but here's a great example of one if you're wondering what such a red flag might look like. Even though the relationship you've had with your high school sweetheart for nearly 10 years is strong, you can't help but wonder if your partner's desire to explore and experience other people would break you up for good or bring you closer in the long run. During childhood, your spouse was sexually abused by a family member. Not everyone in the family knows this, and now that family member will be present at future holidays and gatherings. If your spouse doesn't want to speak up, what can you do? Getting from the beginning to the end of a personal anecdote can be a struggle when you don't feel like you've mastered the art of storytelling. How do you get better at honing your storytelling chops? You know it's a bad idea to pursue a romance or relationship with someone at the office (especially when you're the boss), but you can't deny there's an attraction between you and someone there. So how do you cool things off before this becomes a real problem? If you're a new teacher -- or someone who frequently needs to speak in front of people -- how do you address the overwhelming feedback that your voice is too quiet? How can you convey remorse about an on-the-job transgression for which you need to atone on a professional level?
