The Trouble With Self Help and Positive Thinking - DATW 012

The trouble with a lot of self help and personal development is it teaches us we can always be perfect. There is always a way to feel happy! Well, there isn't. And when you believe there is, you end up creating a spiral of negative thought patterns for yourself. In this podcast, we will look at a different approach to tackling "bad days" and making the most of mood swings.
