Irvin D. Yalom has made a career of investigating the lives of others. In this profound memoir, he turns his writing and his therapeutic eye on himself. He opens his story with a nightmare: He is 12 and is riding his bike past the home of an acne-scarred girl. Like every morning, he calls out, hoping to befriend her, "Hello Measles!" But in his dream, the girl's father makes Yalom understand that his daily greeting had hurt her. For Yalom, this was the birth of empathy; he would not forget the lesson.

On The Power of Vulnerability, Dr. Brown offers an invitation and a promise - that when we dare to drop the armor that protects us from feeling vulnerable, we open ourselves to the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives. Here she dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and reveals that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage.

Brené Brown spent the past two decades researching the emotions that give meaning to our lives. Over the past seven years, she found that leaders in organizations ranging from small entrepreneurial startups and family-owned businesses to nonprofits, civic organizations, and Fortune 50 companies, are asking the same questions: How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders? And how do you embed the value of courage in your culture? Dare to Lead answers these questions and gives us actionable strategies and real examples from her research-based, courage-building program.

When Michael Pollan set out to research how LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression, addiction, and anxiety, he did not intend to write what is undoubtedly his most personal book. But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third.

People in relationships with avoidants struggle with their lack of responsiveness and inability to tolerate real intimacy. Relationships between an avoidant and a partner of another attachment type are the largest group of unhappy relationships, and people who love their partners and who may have started families and had children with an avoidant will work very hard to try to make their relationships work better, out of love for their partner and children as well as their own happiness.

Introvert's sin
There's a lot of substance in this episode. My big take away though is what I'll call ''the introvert's sin.'' there are a lot of times when introverts can be frustratingly quiet, but they boil down to: we're quiet because we have nothing to say or we're quiet because we have something important to say but won't. That 2nd one is the toxic problem here.

Brilliantly done! Inspiring
Wow! This series is very interesting. Season 2 is just as good as season 1.
Esther Perel’s sessions are all interesting, she creates intimacy with the couples she treats, AND with the listener, and she inspires hope.
This episod is so honest, and it sheds a light on what couples can face when struck by adversity, especially illness. But it is amazing how a session that could be sad, is full of hope, humor, and good will. My heart goes out to this young couple, and they are in my prayers.
The production/editing quality is excellent!
Highly recommended, definitely worth your time, you’ll be surprised how thought provoking or relevant it can be.
