You always take steps to improve your life with the best of intentions, but soon regress to old, bad habits. How can you break this pattern? Now that you're a free agent after enduring a difficult and draining marriage, are you wasting mental energy better spent on your career by trying to get into another relationship? When you've been raised on the "if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all" philosophy, how do you get along with your in-laws who only seem to know how to complain about everything? How does an i

Sometimes you don't need a grand plan to break away from a medieval laborer's mindset -- just the motivation to do something more with your life.

Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: When times seem tough, just remember it's rare they ever get "stuck in a cave in Thailand awaiting uncertain rescue" tough. Do you ever feel like you can't accept someone else's offer of help for fear that you will owe them something that you can't "pay back?" Is there ever a right time to have kids? Way of the Peaceful Warrior author and friend of the show Dan Millman writes in with his take. Is it true that there are more and bigger opportunities in the big city? When is Producer Jason going to graduate to Co-Host Jason? When you're creating content for the general public (like YouT

Allen Gannett (@allen) is the founder and CEO of TrackMaven, a placeholder on the 30 under 30 lists for both Forbes and Inc., and the author of The Creative Curve: How To Develop The Right Idea, At The Right Time. What We Discuss with Allen Gannett: Creativity isn't innate to a lucky few geniuses; it's a quality that anyone can learn to develop. Why many stories about so-called geniuses are embellished to sell an inaccurate idea of what creativity is and where this quality comes from. What various fields of study have known -- for years -- about the relationship between intelligence and creativity and how this is at odds with popular belief. Steps that show us how we can cultivate the right qualities and environment so that episodes of creative genius are more likely to strike us when we need it. The four laws of the creative curve that, if followed, will endow anyone with creative prowess. And much more... Like this show? Please leave us a review here -- even one sentence helps!

Guy Winch (@GuyWinch) is a licensed psychologist, leading advocate for integrating the science of emotional health into our daily lives, workplaces, and education systems, and author of How to Fix a Broken Heart. What We Discuss with Guy Winch: While our physical body works overtime to heal itself when injured, our mind counterintuitively works against healing the wounds of emotional trauma. Guy explains why this happens and why it's imperative to intervene. The insidious lengths to which the mind will go to keep us perpetually experiencing pain and how we can take back control from our default autopilot. We can't passively count on time to heal all wounds. We need to take a more active role in our recovery from an emotional wound. If you shame someone who is coping with the death of a pet or otherwise lack the ability to empathize with their pain, you might be kind of a monster. Getting comfortable asking for help when we're recovering from emotional trauma helps others understand that it's okay for them to

Feedback Friday 18 is episode number 26, and here's a listener's follow-up to a discussion we had there. How do you reframe a job -- that's got amazing perks but doesn't challenge you -- and change your mindset so you don't get stuck in a rut?

Daniel Pink (@DanielPink) is the author of New York Times Best Seller When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, which examines the psychology, biology, and economics behind scheduling for optimal effect -- and why your ideal time to get something done may widely differ from someone else's. What We Discuss with Daniel Pink: Timing is everything -- but we're only now beginning to connect the dots between fields of research to discover the science behind how timing actually works. How humans are wired for time by chronotypes, how to identify our own particular chronotype, and what we can do to match our schedules to this chronotype. What the trough is, how it differs according to chronotype, and how it affects the decisions we make -- for better or worse. How observing the nappuccino and other restorative breaks during the day can minimize the worst effects of the trough. Why lunch is really the most important meal of the day. And much more...

Do you ever feel threatened or outright disgusted when you think of your significant other's "colorful" dating history? If you've got a cleavage-staring problem, you might benefit from the eye color drill and this listener's feedback. Does crowdsourcing the work of creative professionals devalue their time? How do you express empathy and support for someone who never follows your advice -- even though the consequences usually prove such advice is consistently sound? You can't force old friends you care about to make positive changes in their lives, but do you have to put u

What Shaun uncovered about his own patterns of behavior by going to therapy. Looking at our life as a series of turning points, and how we can use those turning points to continue moving forward. Using our anger to motivate us instead of hold us down. Why we often keep ourselves down so others around us won't get angry or jealous. And much more...

What We Discuss with Todd Kashdan: Why trying to be positive and happy all the time may be harming your ability to get things done and achieve the results you want. How what you may think of as negative emotions -- like anger -- can be useful superpowers with the proper awareness and application. The problem with living in a time and place when distraction from discomfort comes in an easier and greater variety than ever before. Why every decision you make now is based on how you expect to feel in the future -- and you probably underestimate your ability to tolerate distress. How you can use the discomfort caveat to ease out of the "put on a happy face" rut around others. And much more... Sign up for Six-Minute Networking -

How one stays relevant in the entertainment industry, which is always asking: "What have you done for me lately?" The role relationships play at the top of the music game -- one of the most competitive industries on the planet.

Why Jason's bulldog is actually a rhinoceros and what he hopes this lesso

Nonverbal tells and body language for reading other people at the poker table. Why poker is more about playing the people across the table from you rather than the cards in your hands.
