Life-Changing Reads from a Psychiatrist

As an avid reader, I'm always seeking that next great book. The one that allows me to see myself and the world more clearly, comforts me when I'm lost, or inspires me to move through my day differently. This series is my opportunity to pass these remarkable books onto you, as readers of A Mind of Her Own, both for your own enjoyment and also, as a self-serving shout-out to the universe to send me more amazing, life-changing reads. I'm excited to hear what you think, and I'm so glad you're here!Life-Changing Reads: A Series1. Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation, by Parker Palmer“Vocation does not come from willfulness. It comes from listening…vocation does not mean a goal that I pursue. It means a calling that I hear.”I read this book when I was feeling lost, searching for a life that aligned with my values and desires, and doubting myself at every step. I kept hearing this call to write, to create, but I thought it was something I should do in my “non-work” time, because it wasn't a serious activity for a physician. Parker's discussion of his own struggle to find his true vocation, through an altruistic but ultimately unsustainable career path, was a fundamental guide on my journey.2. Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking, by Susan Cain“So when introverts assume the observer role, as when they write novels, or contemplate unified field theory—or fall quiet at dinner parties—they're not demonstrating a failure of will or a lack of energy. They're simple doing what they're constitutionally suited for.”I listened to this book in the car, sitting in LA traffic, during my psychiatry residency. I still remember the feeling of hearing these words, suggesting my tendency to prefer listening to talking, observing to acting, thinking to doing was not because I was lazy, overly shy or antisocial. It was what I was “constitutionally suited for.” This was a revelation.Here I am now, writing books, listening as a psychiatrist and podcast host, and taking time to think about life's great mysteries. Thank you, Susan, for your beautiful writing.3. The Good Life: Lessons From the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness, by Robert Waldinger, MD and Marc Schulz, PhD“Do I matter? Some of us have lived the majority of our lives and find ourselves looking back, others have most of our lives in front of us and are looking forward. For all of us, regardless of age, it helps to remember that this question of mattering, of leaving something for future generations and of being part of something bigger than ourselves, is not just about our personal achievements—it's about what we mean to other people. And it's never too late to start now and leave a mark.”This book, by the directors of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, is a powerful summary of the lives of two generations of individuals from the same families for over 80 years. It's remarkable to read their quotes as they navigate joy, loss, struggles and successes over the years. The reason I've found it so important to read and reread is its powerful reminder of the importance of our relationships in creating happiness. Not money. Not fame. Not a perfect body. Not prizes or rings or medals. It's all about the love and connection we have in our lives.Today, as I try to navigate the overwhelmingly stressful news and constant churn of social media, it grounds me in my day-to-day life to reflect on those in my closest orbit. How can I connect with them today? How do I show my love and interest in ways both silly and sincere? Even if I've been feeling disconnected, I trust that it is never too late to leave my own mark in their lives and remember the joy of having them in mine.4. How Do You Feel? One Doctor's Search for Humanity in Medicine, by Jessi Gold, MD, MS“Sometimes, the heaviest emotional burden is to bear witness or to hold space for someone else's story. To do my job well and be someone whom people can trust, I need to care. I need to be truly empathetic. I need to be raw and available.”This beautiful book, by Jessi Gold, describes so many aspects of my experience as a psychiatrist. She writes about the unique emotional toll of meeting with patients during some of their darkest moments, as they are working to overcome trauma, abuse, loss or grave illnesses. Reading this was incredibly validating. In the past, when I had finished my clinical week, I would look back and wonder, “Why can't I do more? Why didn't I see more patients? There is so much need.”Dr. Gold's book helped me to be self-compassionate, recognizing I could only be truly present if I also took care of myself. This is a message I now try to pass along to the psychiatry residents I teach. We are human, and we have limits. Thank you, Jessi, for generously sharing your life with us. Your work is so important.Listen to Dr. Gold on The Reflective Mind Podcast at https://amindofherown.substack.com/p/speaking-the-quiet-part-out-loud?r=1wdz1l5. Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life: How to Finally, Really Grow Up by James Hollis, Ph.D.“To engage with the summons of our souls is to step into the deepest ocean, uncertain whether we will be able to swim to some new, distant shore. And yet, until we have consented to swim beyond the familiar lights of the port left behind, we will never arrive at a newer shore.”This stunning book, by Dr. James Hollis, a Jungian scholar and prolific writer, shares his own story of midlife depression and his decision to leave the familiar to seek training in Zurich and become a Jungian analyst. He writes beautifully about his struggle to identify his own path with the guidance of Jung's theory of individuation, defined as “the lifelong project of becoming more nearly the whole person we were meant to be.” I read and re-read this book as I was struggling with my own path to meaning in midlife, and I found such comfort in his powerful belief that we all can tap into what we already know: the person we are most meant to be.You can listen to his beautiful description of his path here: https://amindofherown.substack.com/p/a-nameless-longing-when-your-soul?r=1wdz1l6. Shrill, by Lindy West (I also highly recommend the Hulu series by the same name, starring Aidy Bryant )“I am my body. When my body gets smaller, it is still me. When my body gets bigger, it is still me. There is not a thin woman inside me, awaiting excavation. I am one piece.”Thinking back on my training during medical school and beyond, I can summarize any lecture about body size with one phrase: overweight equals unhealthy. This repeated conflation means I now must consciously uncouple one from the other in my clinical work, stepping back from the broad and imprecise shorthand to consider how they are, and are not, actually related.Lindy West's book helped me significantly as I was trying to shift my thinking on this topic. Her frank depiction of life in her larger body was at times heartbreaking (especially in the doctor's office), frequently humorous (with chapter titles like “Are you there, Margaret? It's me, a person who is not a complete freak.”) and overall a powerful motivator for change. I think all health care providers should read it at least once.If this resonates, check out my interview with Dr. Mara Gordon all about the size-inclusive healthcare revolution. https://amindofherown.substack.com/p/the-size-inclusive-healthcare-revolution?utm_source=publication-search7. Words Are My Matter: Writings on Life and Books by Ursula K. Le Guin“Fiction offers the best means of understanding people different from oneself, short of experience. Actually, fiction can be lots better than experience, because it's a manageable size, it's comprehensible, while experience just steamrollers over you and you understand what happened decades later, if ever.”I grew up in a very small town in North Dakota, just a few miles from the South Dakota border. I didn't recognize the enormity of the sky above my childhood home until I returned as an adult, head tipped back, staring upward in awe. I grew up there with a loving family and a surrounding community willing to cheer me on in events from basketball games to theater performances, but I always felt a bit out of place. Reading became my reassurance that the world was as big as the sky overhead, and I would eventually find my own path. Books also helped me recognize the importance of placing myself in another's shoes, virtual empathy-building machines that taught me about those whose lives were so incredibly different from my own.This book of Ursula K. Le Guin's essays, poems and book reviews reveals a grounded, opinionated, brilliant woman who decided to create entire worlds with stunning clarity, illuminating the challenges existing in our own. Readers and writers alike will not be sorry for taking a moment to absorb her work.If this interests you, please feel free to listen to my short essay, Books are Empathy Machines.8. Intimations by Zadie Smith“Talking to yourself can be useful. And writing means being overheard.”This book by Zadie Smith, a collection of six essays, was published in 2020, and provides a glimpse into the author's life during the early months of the Covid-19 virus. I've long been an admirer of her fiction, but this series allowed a much more intimate window into her wandering mind, trying to comprehend her place in a society turned inside out with uncertainty and fear.What does it mean to be an artist when people are being categorized as “essential workers?” Is loyalty to a place something that can outlast a feeling of unique vulnerability? How can writing provide an outlet for survival when the world is so fraught? There was comfort in her struggle to understand and in her feeling of disorientation, which I certainly shared. I emerged from her writing feeling more hopeful and far less alone.If this essay resonated, please feel free to check out this podcast episode Hope is the Best Antidote for Demoralization with Dr. James L. Griffith, MD9. Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi“We grow up believing that what counts most in our lives is that which will occur in the future…[however] since what we experience is reality, as far as we are concerned, we can transform reality to the extent that we influence what happens in consciousness and thus free ourselves from the threats and blandishments of the outside world.”My summary: We are always living for tomorrow, while life only happens right now, in our moment-by-moment experience, which we have the power to shape through our attention.You have likely heard of the concept of Flow, described by Dr. Csikszentmihalyi (here is a googled pronunciation: chik sent mee hai ee) as an optimal experience when a “person's body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.” It is often referred to as being in a “flow state,” so immersed in a particular task that you lose track of time and are able to concentrate in a prolonged and highly satisfying way. He refers to our attention our “psychic energy.” Where we give our attention is quite literally how we experience our lives. This has never been more relevant, each of us tasked with creating our own protective filters from the onslaught of demands on our limited—because we're human—attention spans.This book is a revelation, with insights about the very nature of consciousness, what it means to be happy, and how we can infuse our lives with more pleasure. Flow can emerge in a wide variety of settings, whether it's while listening to or creating music, engaging in satisfying sex or consuming delicious foods. It may also occur when we are working on a challenging problem at the office, pushing past a confusing but compelling problem in school, or out solving problems in the world beyond. I've learned so much from his writing, and have absorbed his ideas which influence many of my own.If the concept of a flow and the quest for a meaningful life is of interest, check out my interview, “What Lights You Up?' with Dr. Jordan Grumet, palliative care physician and writer.10. Ambiguous Loss: Learning to Live with Unresolved Grief by Pauline Boss“In the case of ambiguous loss…complicated grieving can be a normal reaction to a complicated situation—the endless searching of a battlefield by the mother of a missing soldier; a stepchild's angry outbursts when his biological parent is totally excluded; a wife's depression and withdrawal because her husband has suffered a brain injury and is no longer himself.”I've found ambiguous loss to be such a powerful and surprisingly common experience in my psychiatry practice. This idea describes the unique suffering caused by uncertainty or a lack of resolution regarding a missing loved one. This could be psychological absence of someone still in our presence, such as when our loved one is struggling with dementia or severe mental illness, or the physical absence of those we still keep very much present in our psychological lives, including missing persons with unknown whereabouts.After first reading Ambiguous Loss, I reached out to Dr. Pauline Boss, now in her 90s, to thank her for her work and speak with her about this extremely helpful framework, which had a profound effect on me. She shared the origins of the research into this topic, begun with the families of pilots declared missing in action in Vietnam and Cambodia while she was at the Center of Prisoner of War Studies in the U.S. Naval Health Research Institute in San Diego. She spoke about interviewing the wives of these missing pilots and the intense pain caused by the ambiguity surrounding their husbands' whereabouts. This ongoing, often unresolvable grief can lead to depression, isolation, and ongoing family disruption, even generations later. By giving a name to this phenomenon, however, Pauline Boss has helped countless families begin to heal from the unimaginable and move forward into a more hopeful future.11. Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant? A Memoir by Roz Chast“After my father died, I noticed that all the things that had driven me bats about him—his chronic worrying, his incessant chitchat, his almost suspect inability to deal with anything mechanical—now seemed trivial. The only emotion that remained was one of deep affection and gratitude that he was my dad.”This is the first graphic novel on my list, but it certainly won't be the last. I've been a fan of Roz Chast for a long time, with her quirky but poignant New Yorker cartoons. This powerful memoir highlights something I've found particularly helpful in my work and personal life: difficult truths are much more palatable if we can pair them with humor. My family has always taken this approach, particularly my father, coping with some truly heartbreaking cases in the hospital with an off-color joke about bowel movements around the family dinner table. Humor is also considered one of the most mature psychological defense mechanisms we use to cope with stress or loss in our lives, so way to go, Dad!Roz shares with us a uniquely painful time in her life, as her parents age well into their 90s, experiencing the indignities of increasingly frail bodies and waning independence. She writes with brave candor about the exhausting and expensive path an adult child must walk when her parents can no longer care for themselves, and her conflicted feelings as she watches them slowly fade. Her cartoons throughout provide much-needed moments of levity, as well as a beautiful tribute to the lives of these important people. If you or a loved one is going through this painful, but common, journey, this book could provide some true comfort, and maybe even a laugh or two.12. Congratulations, By the Way: Some Thoughts on Kindness by George Saunders“Be a good and proactive and even somewhat desperate patient on your own behalf—seek out the most efficacious, anti-selfishness medicines, energetically, for the rest of your life. Find out what makes you kinder, what opens you up and brings out the most loving, generous, and unafraid version of you—and go after those things as if nothing else matters.Because, actually, nothing else does.”These words are part of a lovely convocation address George Saunders delivered to the graduating students of Syracuse University, where he is a professor of creative writing. Understandably, it resonated far beyond the campus, and speaks a truly important message for today's world.I should admit, I have a soft spot for George Saunders. I imagine I'm not alone in this. I saw him speak at a New Yorker Festival event several years ago and he did not disappoint: sharp as a tack while also being thoughtful and extremely humble. In addition, he was super funny, which made sense because he's the author of one of the most hilarious short stories I've ever read. In “Pastoralia,” two employees are assigned to a caveman diorama in a fading fun park. One of them, who takes his role incredibly seriously, frequently pretends to scan the horizon for large game and refuses to speak to his cave mate, using only grunts and body language to communicate. The other employee, a chain-smoking, mint-eating mother of a struggling adult child seems to be trying to just get through the day, breaking every rule of proper performance, much to her cave mate's dismay. The story is simply sublime.My dear friend, John, who trained with me in psychiatry residency and became one of my dearest friends, introduced me to this story, along with other memorable cultural experiences such as the show “Broad City” and referring to the bathroom as the “wazzer.” He died in 2020 after a battle with brain cancer, but his legacy lives on, especially in my plan to someday turn “Pastoralia” into a musical (his idea). After all, what better way to honor his memory? Miss you John, but thank you for all you taught me.Thanks for reading A Mind of Her Own!

Access Valora here and get personalised actions for growth > ‍ The Truth About Coaching Through Imposter Syndrome So many coaches and consultants encounter clients who hold themselves back—not because they lack skills, but because they quietly believe they don't deserve success. ‍ In this episode of The Brilliant Book Festival, I'm joined by Clare Josa, author of Ditching Imposter Syndrome and now her follow-up book: Coaching Imposter Syndrome. ‍ Clare has spent more than two decades helping people break free from imposter syndrome. Now her mission is bigger: to equip coaches, consultants and leaders with safe, practical tools to recognise and respond to imposter syndrome when it shows up in their sessions. ‍ She also reveals the myths still circulating about imposter syndrome, why it's not the same as self-doubt, and how AI might just play a surprising role in helping people feel more confident and capable. ‍ If you've ever wondered how to tell the difference between skills-based self-doubt and deeper identity-level imposter syndrome, this conversation will open your eyes. ‍ Prefer to WATCH? https://www.youtube.com/@melittacampbell ‍‍ ‍ “Imposter syndrome isn't a life sentence. It's something you can spot, understand and clear.” – Clare Josa ‍ Beyond Self-Doubt: Spotting the Real Signs Clare explains that self-doubt is about skills, while imposter syndrome cuts deeper — it's about identity. ‍ Self-doubt sounds like: “I don't know enough, I need more experience.” Imposter syndrome sounds like: “I'm not good enough. They'll find me out.” This distinction matters, because the tools that help with self-doubt often fail when the issue is imposter syndrome. Coaches who miss this can leave clients feeling stuck or even unsafe. ‍ The Myths Holding Us Back In recent years, imposter syndrome has gained visibility, but with that has come misinformation. Clare shares how some dismiss it as: ‍ “Just self-doubt in disguise.” “A construct designed to hold women back.” Her response? Labels aside, what matters is helping people recognise the patterns keeping them small, and giving them tools to move forward. ‍ “Confidence grows fastest when you have the right tools and support at your fingertips.” – Clare Josa ‍ ‍ Practical Tools for Coaches Clare's new book and app provide 26 simple, safe tools coaches can use the moment imposter syndrome gatecrashes a session. These tools help coaches to: ‍ Clear limiting patterns without opening emotional “Pandora's boxes.” Shift their clients mindset fast with confidence and safety. Give coaches clarity on how far to go — and when to signpost deeper support. The goal isn't to turn every coach into an imposter syndrome specialist, but to equip them with the confidence to help clients without overstepping. ‍ ‍ Imposter Syndrome, Introverts and Change Clare also clears up another myth: imposter syndrome doesn't only affect introverts. Both introverts and extroverts experience it, but they cope differently: ‍ Introverts tend to overthink. Extroverts tend to overact. And because imposter syndrome is linked to identity, it often surfaces during times of transition—like stepping into a new role, raising prices, or navigating fast-changing technology. ‍ AI as a Confidence Companion Perhaps most intriguing, Clare has developed Ask Clare AI — an app trained on millions of her own words to give coaches, managers and individuals real-time support between sessions. ‍ It's not designed to replace the coach, but to act as a safe, trauma-informed resource when self-doubt or fear strikes in the moment. ‍ ‍ A Final Thought to Reflect On Coaching through imposter syndrome isn't about fixing clients — it's about helping them reconnect with who they really are. ‍ When coaches can spot the difference between self-doubt and identity-level struggle, and when they have the tools to guide clients safely through those first steps, everyone benefits. ‍ As Clare reminds us, the real goal is bigger than overcoming imposter syndrome. It's about building a world where people feel comfortable in their own skin, confident in their contribution, and free to reach their full potential. ‍ So instead of asking, “How do I help my clients push through self-doubt?” try asking, “How can I give them the tools and confidence to break free from imposter syndrome for good?” ‍ That small shift in perspective can change not just a coaching session, but the whole trajectory of a client's success. ‍ ‍ ‍ About Clare Clare Josa has been a leadership mentor since 2003. She's the author of eight books, including Dare To Dream Bigger and Ditching Imposter Syndrome. She was certified as an NLP Trainer in 2003, and is also a formally-trained Meditation and Yoga Teacher Teacher, a Reformed Engineer and the former Head of Market Research for one of the UK's most disruptive companies.  ‍ Clare has spent more than a decade specialising in empowering passionate world-changers to do the ‘inside work' so that you can get on with making a difference in the world. As co-founder of the EU VAT Action campaign in 2014, she has had to overcome any remaining ‘visibility' fears, to stand on international stages (European Parliament, Downing Street, IoD) in front of people who had been studying what she was giving keynotes on for most of their careers. ‍ She is regularly interviewed by the international press and has been interviewed by numerous radio and TV stations. She is a member of the UK's Institute of Directors and she speaks internationally about how to change the world by changing yourself. ‍ Clare lives in Sussex, in the UK, with her husband, their 3 young boys, a bouncy Jack Russell, a totally loopy springer spaniel, and 10 mindful chickens.  ‍ Read Clare's Books: Ditching Imposter Syndrome ‍‍                                         Coaching Imposter Syndrome.

Apparently, some numpty thinks we introverts cannot be cool. And worse still, they said it to a huge audience as if it were fact. Cue my John McEnroe moment: you cannot be serious. In this episode I call out the lazy research, the extraversion bias and the sloppy definitions that keep throwing we introverts into the uncool bucket. I also share what I believe really makes people cool and why it has nothing to do with status or noise. It is about being real, a little brave, and unapologetically yourself. So if you have ever been made to feel less than simply for being quieter, come with me as we reclaim the narrative. Maybe, just maybe, that is the new cool.   ** Key Points ** Extraversion bias exposed Redefining cool Owning authenticity   #AuthenticityIsCool #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

Julia C. Patrick and Tony Beall turn board jitters into momentum with a simple, generous framework: four board roles that make fundraising feel natural, human, and actually fun. Julia sets the tone with a zinger that boards will remember: “This is not a no situation. This is a KNOW situation.” From there, Tony maps the path: “Prospector, cultivator, solicitor, and steward—four very simple roles that are really impactful.”Prospectors spark the pipeline by looking at real relationships—LinkedIn, circles of influence, workplace connections—to spot people who might love your mission. Julia notes this is the one job every board member can do without sweaty palms. Cultivators then step in as brand ambassadors, sharing stories, hosting small gatherings, and learning what lights a supporter up—without making the ask. Think hype team with heart!Next up: solicitors. Some board members truly enjoy asking (yes, unicorns exist). Tony clarifies that “strength in numbers” doesn't mean bringing a stranger to the ask; the right voice in the room is the one with an authentic relationship. Finally, stewards keep the glow going—handwritten notes, quick calls, social shout-outs, tours—feeding the feedback loop so staff and board hear what donors feel and see. Introverts rejoice: stewardship offers tons of low-pressure ways to shine.Julia and Tony keep it real about energy, fit, and growth. Not everyone will love every role, but everyone can contribute somewhere—and many will stretch into new skills with a little structure and encouragement. The pair celebrate their new book, The Architecture of Fundraising (artwork by Tony, applause from Julia), and salute Executive Producer Kevin Pace for nudging the dream into reality.Bottom line: pick your lane, keep the lanes moving, and talk about them at every board meeting with intention. When board members match their temperament to the right role, confidence rises, the process hums, and your mission gets the fuel it deserves.Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Like it or not, office politics is not optional. Declaring that you do not do politics is not a noble choice, it is a naïve and frankly dangerous one. Silence gets mistaken for agreement and before long we introverts find ourselves overlooked, undervalued, or plain irrelevant. In this episode I challenge the myth that opting out keeps us safe and instead reveal how integrity can become our protective armour. With a pinch of bravery and a dose of awareness we can step out of the stands and into the arena without losing ourselves. Politics done with integrity is not game-playing, it is how we build trust, earn respect and reclaim our voice.   ** Key Points ** Integrity as Introvert armour Silence is not always strength Reclaim your voice with confidence   #OfficePolitics #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

We're so excited about this episode, because we want every kid who may be extroverted or introverted to know that their gifts are amazing and that their limitations are amazing too! We're going to talk about 3 things parents of extroverted and introverted girls need to know and 3 things parents of extroverted and introverted boys need to know. There's a great book that we both love, The Hidden Gifts of the Introverted Child, by Marti Olsen Laney. Listen to this description of the differences, introverts generally prefer stimulation in small manageable doses whereas extroverts seek lots of action and excitement. An introvert may pursue topics in depth, while an extrovert may be more oriented toward breadth. An introvert may need time to process his/her emotions before responding. An extrovert is more likely to react in the moment. We've seen a lot of evidence of this being true. Another book we love, called Quiet, which also revolutionized my perspective on it, and I recommend it to parents of introverts all the time.   . . . . . .  ⁠Owen Learns He Has What it Takes: A Lesson in Resilience⁠ ⁠Lucy Learns to Be Brave: A Lesson in Courage⁠⁠ More Links: Grab your tickets today for the⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Raising Capable Kids Conference⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with David Thomas, Sissy Goff and special guests!

To we introverts, small talk can feel pointless at best and like a trap at worst. Yet what if we have it all wrong. Small talk is not the enemy of meaningful conversation, but the currency of connection and the gateway to the deeper exchanges we long for. In this episode I shine a light on why it matters, why avoiding it can leave us misunderstood and sidelined, and how we can finally handle it on our own terms. I suggest we think of small talk not as something to avoid at all costs, but as a bridge or portal to richer conversations. Once you cross it with intention you will discover trust, influence and connection waiting on the other side. This is not about becoming a chatterbox, it is about owning our presence authentically and making small talk work for us.   ** Key Points **   Small talk reframed Gateway to depth Connection as currency     #SmallTalk #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they spotlight three major media stories—from CBS changing its interview editing policy, to reporters downplaying violent crime for political reasons, to a bizarre demand from a disgraced Boston politician.First, they welcome a new CBS News practice to allow interviews to air unedited on Face the Nation after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ripped CBS for gutting her answers in a recent appearance. Jim and Greg also note that mainstream media editing controversies always seem to benefit the left.Next, they scold Marc Caputo of Axios for fretting about "MAGA influencers drawing repeated attention  to violent attacks to elevate the issue of urban crime — and accuse mainstream media of under-covering shocking cases." It's all connected to the mainstream media's silence over the grisly, unnecessary murder of a female Ukrainian refugee in Charlotte by a guy who had been arrested many times for violent crimes. Is the biggest problem calling attention to the murder...or is it maybe the murder itself?Finally, Jim and Greg are stunned by a former member of the Boston City Council who was sentenced to prison for fraud. It's not even the crimes that surprise them but the member's insistence that media stop talking about her and her crimes because she is an introvert and it hurts her feelings.Please visit our great sponsors:Support your health with Dose Daily.  Save 25% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. Find the right support that's right for you with BetterHelp.

They explore the role of introverts in patient interactions, share personal stories of learning from mistakes, and highlight the significance of follow-up and transparency in building trust with patients. The discussion also covers strategies for handling financial conversations, the value of offering discounts, and the innovative approach of the Smile Test Drive to enhance patient experience. TAKEAWAYS Pre-appointment preparation is crucial for in-office success. Creating a connection with patients is more important than perfecting a script. Introverts can excel in patient engagement by focusing on genuine communication. Learning from mistakes is essential for growth in practice. Follow-up communication can help re-engage patients who didn't enroll. Discounts should be framed as value-added offers, not devaluations of service. Transparency in treatment options builds trust with patients. The Smile Test Drive is an effective tool for patient engagement. Clarity in treatment plans helps patients make informed decisions.
