#966 - Dr Scott Eilers - Why Does Life Sometimes Feel Emotionally Numb?

Tucker Max is an author, speaker and the Co-Founder of Scribe. How do you go from being a professional asshole to a dad? From beer bongs to boardrooms and drunken nights to ayahuasca retreats? There's a transition we all have to go through from the person we were to the person we want to be. Many of us go through this multiple times. But how do we know when it's time to change, and how can we let go of the people we used to be?

Seth Stephens-Davidowitz is a former Data Scientist at Google and a writer. There are things which you write into Google which you have never told another person. Our search history is a window into the deepest recesses of our mind which has never before been available. Time for the big data analysts like Seth to step in and look at what we can discover from these information. Why do people commit suicide? How many Americans are racist? What is the most popular type of pornography in India? And what is the biggest determining factor in a child's development?

Charlotte Fox Weber is the Head of Psychotherapy at The School Of Life. Therapy is a term that comes with a lot of baggage. It's seen as a last ditch measure, a solution that is only needed by someone in a dire situation to "fix" a problem. But what even is therapy and what does it do? Should it only be used by the people who are at the end of their tether? Who is it for? And why is it so stigmatised?

Jonny & Yusef join me for the first episode of the new year as we ask each other what would we tell ourselves 10 years ago. If you were given a 30 second phone call to yourself 10 years ago, what would you say? Buy Bitcoin? Learn to meditate? End that relationship? Do not dye your hair blonde? Today you get to hear us crack under the pressure of an imaginary phone call to our younger selves and then reflect on everything we've learned.  Extra Stuff: Take a break from alcohol and upgrade your life - https://6monthssober.com/podcast Check out everything I recommend from books to products - https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/modernwisdom - Get in touch. Join the discussion with me and other like minded listeners in the episode comments on the MW YouTube Channel or message me...
