Once you have served your debt to society, you will walk out of prison a free person. What you do with your life is up to you. Becoming a productive member of society will require that you find a job and treat any addictions or mental health problems you have. Fortunately, help is available, but you’ll need to do your research to find it. Your success will also depend on avoiding other criminals and maintaining a positive attitude. -Yesterday we heard from an ex-con about what it was like for him to transition from life behind bars to life on the outside. He says having a mentor helped a lot – someone to whom he felt a true sense of responsibility – and he didn't want to screw it up by doing something bad and winding up back in prison. -I asked a handful of other former inmates to share their advice for those who are about to or are in the midst of transitioning back into society. We will discuss and details around ex-cons in today's episode.-This is our topic for todays episode.

Pretending to live in a perfect world is a key to fundamental change. By doing so, we set aside our conventions and preconceived notions. Pretending to live in a perfect reality opens the doors to perfect design. Such an ideal reality is, however, perfectly imperfect. It makes the glass ceiling of limiting beliefs visible that stands in the way of growth and transformation.-Many of the Perfect World Principles are ‘mind-expanding’. They appeal to unconscious, naive, even childlike-abil- ities to unleash creative potential. The key to this is ‘pretense’. After all, we are under no obligation to regard an exist- ing reality as an absolute fact. We can just create a new one.-This is our topic for todays episode.

A little positive goes a long way. Cliche right? But, it’s so so true.-Sometimes, it’s really hard to stay motivated and keep going. I get lazy and decide to take a nap instead of go to the gym, or I decide that it’s just too cold to walk outside. I get pickish late at night while watching Netflix, and I often snack a little more than I should. Sometimes, I feel like all my efforts are going to nothing, and I’ll never reach my goal. Then I remind myself: stay positive.-The bottom line is, a little positivity goes a long way. Not only will your positive act create ripples that affect those who are exposed to your message, but you will notice more positivity and optimism around you, further encouraging you to share and extend your ripple.-This is our topic for todays episode.

It’s a feeling that most of us can relate to from time to time. You have lots to do, but you’d rather do anything else than the task at hand. But why do we procrastinate? Is it a case of being lazy?

Ask shoppers what they want and you’ll find they want it all -- good quality products, wide selection, low prices -- and they want it all now. That is the reason that Amazon.com gives every other retailer fits because in the first of those three wants, Amazon pretty well beats all comers. On the last, instant gratification, Amazon still has a ways to go, though the time efficiency of Amazon at the front end when ordering often makes up for any lag in the back end for delivery, though its engineering and fulfillment departments are working overtime to figure out how to make near-instant delivery a reality.-Consumers are driving the demand for instant gratification, so much so that we are becoming an instant gratification society. -In consumers’ quest for “instant gratification” there are two components: the “Instant” now and the “Gratification” from pleasure and fulfillment achieved that leads to personal happiness. But human psychology programs us so that to get the later, i.e. our gratification, we have to give up the former, i.e. the instant. In other words, instant gratification isn’t so gratifying.-This is our topic for todays episode.

When we're rushing, we are living in a state of resistance. It produces a state of consciousness that often comes about when we're feeling anxious. It's a lack of willingness to be in the present moment. Have you ever noticed how rushing implies a feeling of lack?-People often get stuck in the hurry cycle because they have a hard time saying no. When you accept more responsibilities than you can realistically handle, you'll almost certainly find yourself rushing to cram everything in.-I understand what it is to be busy. I am future oriented when it comes to setting and achieving life goals. I am as organized as the next person when it comes to planning ahead. I just can’t get on this rushing through the seasons bandwagon. I want to actually see and enjoy the changing fall colors, not miss it while I put up my Christmas lights.-Psychological studies have found that the best way to be happy is to enjoy the present. I am not going to waste my precious life by wishing time away, waiting for the weekend, the holiday or the next vacation. Anticipation is fun and exciting, but not if it causes us to lose sight of what is happening in our lives now.-It is a cliché- but maybe we should take time to smell the roses. And yes, mine are still blooming and you can see them because they are not hidden under pumpkins or, heaven forbid, snowmen.-This is our topic for todays episode.

Reach a certain age, and it’s almost expected that if you’re not, say, the sweet old granny happily baking strudel, you’re more than likely to become the cranky, cane-waving curmudgeon. No wonder the 1993 film Grumpy Old Men is getting retooled for a new generation, this time starring Eddie Murphy.-But the assumption that a grumpier outlook accompanies wrinkles and gray hair is simply wrong. “Older people tend to be happier than the general population,”. “So why do we have that stereotype? Because we’re an ageist society and we misunderstand older adults.”-It’s also possible that you’re not more grumpy, just more vocal. Certain natural changes that occur as we age, like impulse control, can make you more sharp-tongued than before, and more likely to say what is on your mind, for good or bad.-But if moodiness isn’t always an ailment, it can be a symptom. In general, experts say, when an older person becomes moodier than he used to be, there may be a good reason — and those close to him should pay attention.-There can be the struggles that getting older can present. Sometimes though in most cases it is we are wiser and see beyond the BS in the world more then others.-This is our topic for todays episode.

To sum up, others' opinion matters because it's our way to feel we control our environment. Others' opinions have indeed tremendous value: we are social beings and we care about what other people think of us.

I can assure you that the human race has confronted, and endured, darker times. But today it often feels as though the world is getting better and worse at the same time.-Compared to a generation ago, we have made gains in reducing extreme poverty, increasing access to education and curbing hunger. But sadly, democratic progress has stalled, and hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people are at risk from conflict, climate change and pandemic disease. -The most serious challenges are interrelated. A deteriorating climate will aggravate economic problems that will, in turn, generate new threats to security. Technology, if used wisely, can improve the lives of billions of people; if misused, it has the potential to destroy us all. That is why good governance is so important and why the antidemocratic trends we are witnessing are so disturbing.-This is our topic for todays episode.

Most former British colonies, with some exceptions, drive on the left side of the road, whereas the United States of America, Latin American countries and European countries drive on the right. Almost always, in countries where one drives on the right-hand side of the road, the cars are built so that the driver sits on the left-hand side of the car. Conversely, driving on the left-hand side of the road usually implies that the driver’s seat is on the right-hand side of the car.-This is our topic for todays episode.

So, there’s a general understanding that reviews are important. However, I sometimes think people don’t grasp just how important they truly are. Year after year, there is more and more data demonstrating the importance of consumer behavior, positive reviews, social validation and more. For example, according to BrightLocal’s Local Consumer Review Survey, 91% of 18-34-year-old consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations.-From my experience, even in an industry such as professional services, poor reviews or a lack of reviews can be detrimental. We found that consumers expect businesses in this industry to have a minimum average Google rating of 3.84 across at least 20 reviews. This was compounded by a question we asked: “On a scale 1-10, if you narrowed down two professionals you liked, but one had much better reviews online, how much would that impact your final decision?" The average of all the responses was 7.931.-This is our topic for todays episode.

Gaslighting - an elaborate and insidious technique of deception and psychological manipulation, usually practiced by a single deceiver, or “gaslighter,” on a single victim over an extended period. Its effect is to gradually undermine the victim’s confidence in his own ability to distinguish truth from falsehood, right from wrong, or reality from appearance, thereby rendering him pathologically dependent on the gaslighter in his thinking or feelings.-As part of the process, the victim’s self-esteem is severely damaged, and he becomes additionally dependent on the gaslighter for emotional support and validation. In some cases the intended (and achieved) result is to rob the victim of his sanity. The phenomenon is attested in the clinical literature as a form of narcissistic abuse whereby the extreme narcissist attempts to satisfy his pathological need for constant affirmation and esteem (for “narcissistic supply”) by converting vulnerable people into intellectual and emotional slaves whom he paradoxically despises for their victimhood. Because the gaslighter is himself typically psychologically disordered, he is often not fully aware of what he is doing or why he is doing it.-This is our topic for todays episode.

Peer pressure, or influence, comes in several forms, and these types of peer pressure can have a tremendous impact on a young person’s behavior. Research shows the most impressionable age for peer influence seems to be the middle school years. This is when a child is forming new friendships and choosing an identity among those friends.-It is also the most common age for kids to start experimenting with alcohol, drugs, sexual activity and other risky behaviors. Very often, the drive to engage in this kind of behavior is a result of negative peer pressure. Adolescents who have larger circles of friends appear to be less influenced by the suggestions or actions of their peers, but the pressure to conform is very real at this age.-This is our topic for todays episode.

Mentors can be lifesavers — until they're not anymore. When you outgrow a mentor, surpass them in their skills, or simply establish your own level of sufficiency and independence to function as their equal, breaking up can be hard to do.The most talented go-getters often find older, wiser mentors to guide them early in the careers. But as more young managers ascend to the executive suite while still in their 20s and 30s, they are finding that they surpass their mentors in terms of pay or chain of command—and might even become their mentor’s boss.-If you rise fast enough, then you can accomplish more than your mentor ever dreamed for himself. That creates a delicate situation in which a mentor’s envy and jealousy can overtake his fond feelings for all your success. And you never want a mentor to turn against you.-Here’s how to maintain a positive relationship with your mentor despite your meteoric ascent.-This is our topic for todays episode.

It’s no secret that dating is different in the post-lockdown era. Whether you and your quarantine boo didn’t make it or you’ve been single for the long haul, making social or romantic connections in person is a bit more difficult than it used to be. Beyond the effects of isolation — like unexpected social anxiety brought on by the extended time you spent alone baking banana bread or learning a ridiculous amount of TikTok dances — figuring out how to meet someone to date IRL has essentially become a collective struggle for many singles.-When it comes to putting yourself out there and meeting a potential beau, there are times when simply being mutual friends on Instagram or matching on Bumble doesn’t cut it. If you’re a social butterfly (or even if you’re not), getting out of the house and into a social setting might just be the key when it comes to meeting someone organically.

For years, researchers have studied the effects of sound on the human brain. Specifically, people have tried to understand why certain sounds alter someone’s mood, physical sensations, and even memory.-The most common example of this phenomenon is music. It’s a form of art and tradition inherent to every known culture on Earth, and in some cases music (particularly the use of chants, horns, and drums) predates organized language.-To fully appreciate the psychology of music, you can break the topic down into three key categories: how our brains process sound, how music affects the brain, and how music therapy can be used to improve anyone’s life.-This is our topic for todays episode.
