1048: Shaun Attwood | From Raves to Riches to Ruin Part Two

Jordan (@JordanHarbinger) and Jason (@jpdef) are back to banter every week and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday on The Jordan Harbinger Show! 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: Fixated on the past? Not us. Like The Jeffersons, we're movin' on up! That being said, we appreciate you passing the memo along to people who don't yet know about the move. If a friend avoids you to get out of paying back a loan, should you just write it off as an investment in learning who isn't your friend? If you grew up in the US but had to leave because you didn't win the work visa lottery, how do you make do in a place you don't really want to be until you can make it back to the US? Are you Jordan's good friend? How do you go about rebuilding your social circles when your old friends stop calling you back? Is it worth the investment of time to learn additional languages, or is that time better spent leveling up other skills? How do you give up your high-paying but soul-crushing job to pursue dreams of traveling the world and working remotely? How do you start building wealth as opposed to constantly going into debt -- especially when you have a significant other who can't hold down a job? Recommendation of the Week: Take Your Pills Quick shoutouts to Andrei in Russia and Brandl Moniz! Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

What We Discuss with David Eagleman: The science that encourages lifelong learning as a way to fend off the effects of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. How the human brain processes senses beyond sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch -- and how we might upgrade our senses in the not-too-distant future. What flipping a coin can tell us about the subconscious brain. How our memories and self-identities are built from the brain's interpretation of reality -- which is quite different from reality itself. Will we ever be able to download skills directly into our brains? 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: How do you maintain the momentum of your self-improvement milestones in the wake of a difficult breakup? Do you need continuous novelty in your professional life? In any industry, it's better to spend eight hours to miss the chance to work for a narcissist than eight months -- or eight years. But sometimes it's hard to spot them when the industry is entertainment. How do you approach someone cold and build rapid trust with them when you're an INTJ who only knows how to flirt with disaster? Is getting your hopes up just a recipe for disappointment, or should you embrace the motivation of excitement when it strikes? How do you keep your feelings in check when you have an unrequited crush on a colleague who flirts with people who aren't you? What's the best (and worst) way of asking for advice from us? Recommendation of the Week: Scam City Quick shoutout (and happy birthday wishes) to The Gabe! Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?

Melissa Dahl (@melissadahl) is a senior editor covering health and psychology for New York's The Cut. In 2014, she co-founded New York magazine's popular social science site Science of Us. Her first book, Cringeworthy: A Theory of Awkwardness, is out now. What We Discuss with Melissa Dahl: Awkwardness does not have to make us feel alone -- in fact, the things that make us cringe can serve to remind us of how connected we all truly are. Our concept of ourselves is often constructed externally -- by how we think other people view us. How awkwardness can help us have tough conversations about race, politics, and gender. How we can stop stop reliving embarrassing memories. How to remap and reframe feelings of awkwardness or embarrassment and use them to our advantage. And much more...

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) joins us for this deep dive into why we all compare ourselves with other people, the pros and cons that arise from this, and what we can do to filter out the unhealthy comparisons we inevitably make.

Strategies to stop the unhealthy types of comparisons we make and how we can make ourselves better in the process. Do we really need to compare ourselves to other people in order to be happy?
