In this episode, Sukh shares some thinking on how we're getting praise and appreciation wrong. We are conditioned to think that we don't deserve to hear praise and appreciation regularly, and it's only meant to be given infrequently. There's a lot of misconception about praise and appreciation, as well as little development in how to give praise and appreciation in good regular ways.

In this episode, Sukh explores his thinking and writing on positive thinking, and what he's called the positive continuum. One end of the continuum is what he calls "Helpful Reframing", the middle is where we have "Toxic Positivity", and at the other end "Relentless Positivity".

He mentions work from the following sources:

In this short episode, Sukh discusses how we're allowed to give ourselves permission to plan for good things that are healthy and fulfilling for us. We might normally call this self-care, and it's a good antidote for all the regular hard stuff we hear in the news, and through social media.
