Episode 344
Published 5 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Tune in to hear:
- What can we learn from circus animals about learned helplessness and how can we free ourselves from the chains of a small existence we feel we can’t escape?
- What are the positive and negative implications of habituation? How does it serve us evolutionarily and how can it hold us back?
- How does habituation affect the joy we get from our favorite songs and how can we renew this joy when we’ve overplayed a song?
- How can we change things up to disrupt our status quo and tendency for habituation?
- Why is diversifying your experiences, and your life overall, just as vital as diversifying your portfolio?
- What does Existentialist Jean Paul Sartre mean by his example of a waiter who is “playing at being a waiter in a cafe?” What does Sartre mean that he is acting in “bad faith” and how can we think about this in our own lives?
