#1148 Finding Hope When Life Sucks - Cyndie Spiegel

The You Project ·

2023/04/22

In a ten-month period in 2020, Cyndie Spiegel’s young nephew (who she was close to) was murdered, her mum died unexpectedly (not long after), her brother had a severe stroke and almost died and Cyndie was diagnosed with breast cancer, undergoing surgery and radiation therapy. And somehow, in the middle of all that suffering, grief and mayhem, Cyndie found a way to latch onto moments of joy. Sometimes life truly sucks and sh*t things happen to good people but I love the way Cyndie thinks, tells

#1146 The Swearing Buddhist - Kevin Griffin

The You Project ·

2023/04/20

Kevin Griffin is a world-renowned Author, Buddhist Teacher and Speaker who happens to be a recovering addict, musician and incredibly down-to-earth bloke, who is refreshingly honest, flawed (like me), realistic, relatable and dare-I-say… somewhat ‘unspiritual’ (that’s not meant to be an insult). Oh.. and he’s also wise and funny. This was a meandering but enjoyable ‘coffee-chat’ style of episode and I loved it. kevingriffin.netSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1145 How Cultures Create Emotions - Batja Mesquita

The You Project ·

2023/04/19

This was a totally new topic and conversation for me and I found it fascinating. It was also somewhat confronting because Batja’s research around emotions didn’t neatly fit into my ‘how emotions work’ box. How dare she. In this chat, we talk about the relationship between culture and its impact on emotions; and not just cultural differences between countries but also differences between religions, corporations and all kinds of groups. Growing up in the Netherlands where (in Batja’s words) people are

#1144 Finding Your Calm - Chris Bailey

The You Project ·

2023/04/18

Chris Bailey is a Canadian writer and productivity consultant, and the author of The Productivity Project (2016), Hyperfocus (2018) and How to Calm Your Mind (2022). It took an on-stage panic attack for Chris to recognise how critical it is for us to invest in calm at the same time as we invest in becoming more productive. Productivity advice works - and we need it now more than ever -but it’s just as vital that we develop our capacity for calm. By finding calm and overcoming anxiety, we don’t just

#1142 The ADHD Epidemic - David Gillespie

The You Project ·

2023/04/16

Old Mate David Gillespie (my fortnightly nemesis), has just published an article on substack.com titled ‘Dopamine Dilemma: Unravelling the ADHD Epidemic and Our Reliance on Medication'. This fascinating story (focusing largely on the most successful Olympian of all time – Michael Phelps) is the stepping off point for our conversation. Enjoy.

#1141 Six Years As A Prisoner Of War - Captain...

The You Project ·

2023/04/15

In 1967 after 74 successful combat missions over Vietnam, Fighter Pilot Captain Charlie Plumb was shot down in his F-4 Phantom jet. On his 75th mission, only 5 days before he was to return home. Captured, brutally tortured and imprisoned in the Hanoi Hilton where Charlie remained a prisoner of war for the next 6 years. I know I say this too often but this conversation was truly fascinating and Charlie is an incredible human with a story that’s hard to comprehend, and at times, listen to. He endured

#1139 Social Awareness - Dr. Adam Mastroianni

The You Project ·

2023/04/13

Dr. Adam Mastroianni is a postdoctoral research scholar at Columbia Business School who studies how people perceive and misperceive their social worlds, from the person sitting across the table to the broader community buzzing around them. He writes a great blog (I checked it out) called Experimental History, is a stand-up comic, a Harvard Graduate and I think even he’d admit that he’s kind of a quirky academic-comedian-philosopher hybrid. This conversation was about as loose, freestyle and

#1138 What’s Your Body Saying? - Kate Save

The You Project ·

2023/04/12

Your body is always talking to you. Trying to make you aware of something and keep you informed. It could be whispering “please get me out of this chair for ten minutes” or it might be screaming “if you don’t stopping eating crap, you’ll f***ing kill me before my time!” In this episode of TYP, Dietician, Exercise Physiologist , Owner of ‘Be Fit Food’, Corporate Speaker, award winning Business Woman and all-round under-achiever Kate Save drops by and we chat all-things food, exercise, personal

#1137 How Healthy Is Your Brain? - Marc Milstein

The You Project ·

2023/04/11

This is not another conversation about the mind. Or thinking. Or beliefs. Or subjective reality. No, it’s a conversation about the 1.3kg physical organ that resides in your skull. Did you know that you can improve the health and function of your brain by walking faster? And laughing more? And being properly hydrated? And standing up straight? Did you know there’s a powerful relationship between gut health and brain health? Or that brains typically start to shrink at around forty but there’s a way

#1136 Why Do So Many People Who Lose Weight, Regain...

The You Project ·

2023/04/10

As someone who spent way too many years losing and gaining weight and fat and alternating between healthy and destructive behaviours, I have great interest in, and vast personal experience with, this topic. Also, as an Exercise Scientist and Trainer working with many others who were just like me, this is a question I’ve considered for years. This episode will be relevant (and maybe even helpful) for many of you. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1135 12 Hard Questions - Harps (PT2)

The You Project ·

2023/04/09

In part two of my conversation with Melissa, she asks me the following questions.. (7) Why do you think anxiety is such an epidemic at the moment? (8) Can we overcome our ‘programming’ (and do we need to)? (9) Do you feel more like a teacher or student - what are your percentages? (10) What are your thoughts about ‘retirement’? (11) Why are you so fascinated with human potential? (12) As a never-been married person, what are your thoughts about marriage?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

2023/04/08

This is a two-part conversation where Melissa asks me 12 questions, without forewarning of theme or topic. I hear them for the first time on the podcast. In this episode I answer (discuss) the following.. (1) Why do you say that your biggest problem is you? (2) Do you think you’re too hard on yourself? (3) When did you feel most inadequate? (4) Why do so many of us self-sabotage? (5) You grew up in religion, where are you now with all that? (6) Why do we desire external validation so much

#1133 Is 'An Easy Life' A Good Goal? - Harps & Tiff

The You Project ·

2023/04/07

The desire for an easy life is an understandable desire but (1) what exactly is an easy life? (2) Does an easy life automatically equate to a happy, strong, resilient, fulfilled person in the middle of that life? (3) Does a life full of peaks and troughs, messy-ness and mayhem, tears and joy automatically equal an unhappy, unproductive, broken person? Is it possible that happiness and fulfilment is not about building an ‘easy life’ but rather, creating a stronger, more adaptable and confident

#1132 Downloading Our Consciousness - Patrick Bonello

The You Project ·

2023/04/06

This time Patrick and I talk about the possibility of intelligent life somewhere 'out there’ (you know where), the smartest and dumbest dog breeds (if you’re a Basset Hound, don’t listen), the possibility of downloading our consciousness (not terrifying at all), how honest we should be with kids, achieving immortality with tech, computers becoming self-aware (good grief), who Patrick thinks I look like (an actor), why we might be the ‘apes’ of the Cosmos, NASA heading back to the moon in 2024 and

#1131 Getting Better With Age - Paul Taylor (PT2)

The You Project ·

2023/04/05

Paul Taylor and I are like fine wines. And sometimes, cheap beers. And despite our over-fifty-ness, we both work hard to have a biological age that’s younger than our calendar (chronological) age. Apart from talking about ageing well and optimising what we have to work with (genetics, time, energy, resources), we also discuss the way our values drive our choices and behaviours, the correlation between relationships and health, the value (or not) of wearable fitness trackers, owning our decisions,

#1129 Failure - Harps

The You Project ·

2023/04/03

What is failure? Personally, I don’t like the term but it’s a common label that we give certain events and outcomes based on our goals, intentions, plans, expectations and hopes. But what happens when we take the same less-than-desirable result and apply different thinking? Is there a lesson here? How have I grown through this? In terms of my strategy, what worked and what didn’t work? What would I do different next time? What awareness do I have now that I didn’t before? If not achieving a desired
