Nature, Body Image, Writing and Sleeping, Saunas, Mindfulness and Kindness, Social Anxiety

In this first episode of “Talking to Myself,” I share some big announcements about my new book deal, as well as some interesting studies on nature and body image, writing and sleeping, sauna bathing, mindfulness and kindness, and the relationship between volunteering and self-esteem. I also answer some of your guys questions on Twitter, including questions on social media and social skills, how to manage an anxiety episode, the effect of pornography on our minds, how to get “revenge” on people who hurt you, forgiving others, and the difference between psychology and neuroscience.
