In the middle of the mayhem that is (can be) the human experience, how we find our purpose? Or, does it find us? Or do we choose it? Create it? Is it a constant? Does it change over time? And by the way, what does "purpose" (in this context) even mean? Tiff, Bobby and I explored all of these questions and lots more, in very conversational TYP instalment. Enjoy.

#2061 Finding Purpose in the Mayhem - Bobby Cappuccio

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/7251f35f-781e-4d2c-adc0-b3a9003417c3/transcript

In this instalment of TYP, Kelly, Tiff and I chat about the propensity we humans have to obsess about, and waste energy on, problems that don't currently (and may never) exist. And also... the subsequent self-created psychological and emotional sh*t-fest that comes with it. In general terms, we talk about trying to manage our subjective experience in the middle of a never-ending series of objective events, situations and circumstances (you know.. life). Enjoy.

#2065 The Self-Created Sh*t-Fest - Kelly Smith

Social osmosis is (for this conversation) the way attitudes, beliefs, emotions, values, behaviours, language and norms seep into us simply by being around people - without us choosing, trying, or even noticing. It's not a 'real' term (in psychological literature) but it's a real part of the human experience. It’s a Craig-ism. I guess it's kind of like psychological second-hand smoke. You don't decide to inhale or absorb it, you just do. Unintentionally. Unconsciously. For better or worse. Have you noticed how just being around some people is literally good for your physical, mental and emotional health? Even if you don't say anything? There's definitely some kind of energetic exchange happening. This conversation with Tiff is one of my all-time Craig-Tiff favourites. Enjoy.

#2064 Social Osmosis - Harps & Tiff

Some of you know I often talk about "intelligence" being context and/or task dependent. Well, if this instalment of TYP was a room, I was definitely (and happily) the dumbest in the room. Professor Nick Haslam is a world-renowned social psychology researcher whose interests include dehumanisation, stigma, psychiatric classification, and mental health. Our conversation went far and wide and we covered everything from bullying and identity to self-diagnosis and understanding our own mind. It was a privilege to hang out with the Prof. for an hour and yes, the meaning behind the title is revealed in the chat. His most recent book is called 'Troubled Minds: Understanding and Treating Mental Illness. Enjoy.
