Second episode of The Brain Mechanics - “Self-Knowledge”
Dr. Conover and Bryce tackle questions regarding a deeper understanding of self -- especially as that self relates to the situations itself in.
1. What are the best ways to counteract negative self-talk? (3:48)
2. Can habitual negative self-talk cause depression or other physical symptoms? (11:44)
3. When getting ahead in society depends on people liking you, is it even possible to get to a place where external validation is eliminated from your needs and wants? (15:11)
4. Is finding one thing (passion) to focus on in life healthy or realistic? Or are we hardwired to like different things that can change over time? (23:21)
5. What are some clues that a young person isn’t mature enough to realistically pursue goals? (35:17)
6. Sometimes, the thing that makes you good at something is also the thing that can be self-sabotaging. What are some practices that will allow me to continue to use my empathetic nature to my benefit but shut it off when it becomes detrimental to my self-confidence? (40:39)
7. How can you balance personal core values against the values of organizations you work for or the societies you live in? (44:01)
8. Who’s going to run the world, Creatives or Linears? (50:49)
9. Is it better to be feared or loved? (63:31)
10. Should we continue to label people based on mental illness? (69:47)
Again, we had a great time discussing these thought provoking topics. Greatly appreciate the fellows of SCLN Leadership Southern California ’16 for their submissions! |
