Why you struggle to make decisions
The consequences of our chronic indecisiveness 
Perfection and indecision 
Choice overload 
A fear of failure 
How to overcome your indecisiveness using the 80/20 rule

188. Why are we so indecisive?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/874db22c-d19f-42c8-8d28-b156008af000/transcript

AI has transformed the way we work, the way we ask questions, and the way we function as a society. But what impact has it had on our minds? In today’s episode, we’re unpacking the ways that this new-found convenience has come at a cognitive cost.

We explore:
•        Why a wider focus on productivity has increased our use of AI
•        How the ease of this technology stops us using our brains
•        When AI is wrong, misleading or incomplete
•        The ELIZA effect 
•        The dangers of using it to replace human interaction
•        Where it can be useful, and how wonder keeps our brains alive

If you’re both amazed and slightly unsettled by AI, this episode is for you.

382. How is AI actually impacting our brains? 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/d43dad49-4061-4838-8db9-b3e500f5c852/transcript

Everyone wants a village? No one wants to be a villager? In a world obsessed with protecting our peace, optimising our time, and cutting off anything that feels draining ... have we accidentally made friendship optional? In this episode, we’re unpacking the psychology behind friendship and why the best ones sometimes make you work harder. 

We explore:


The viral idea that “inconvenience is the cost of community” 


The 4 psychological pillars of lasting friendships


How much time it actually takes to build a close friend


The rise of therapy-speak and how “boundaries” can sometimes become disguised avoidance
Why conflict isn’t the end of a friendship


6 practical ways to “be a villager” 


When to kick someone out of the village...

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re asking for too much, giving too much, or slowly drifting from the people you care about, this episode is for you.
