Forrest and Dr. Rick both identify as “reformed rigid people,” and in this episode they explore how to become more psychologically flexible. Just like how physical flexibility is the amount of stretch in our muscles, the ability they have to bend without breaking, psychological flexibility is the same quality in our minds. It helps us look at situations in new lights, be open to our emotions, let go of old versions of ourselves, and step into new ways of being. They talk about rigidity as a form of psychological defense, the motivations for rigidity, the trap of assumptions and limiting beliefs, releasing attachment, and embracing new ways of thinking. Watch the Episode: Prefer watching video?

If you had to do just one thing to improve your health, what would it be?Our busy lives mean it can be difficult to keep up healthy habits, and with so much conflicting advice out there it's tricky to separate fact from fiction. In today's episode, Jonathan is joined by medical doctor, journalist, and presenter Michael Mosley, who is alongside ZOE regular Tim Spector, to discuss Michael's four key habits to improve our health. Michael's latest book ‘Just One Thing' explores these habits and has seen him speak to singing scientists and eccentric iceman to healthy habit experts and evangelists. And of course, being Michael, he tried every habit out himself. We talk about which methods are the most effective, which he has incorporated into his life, and how he makes his new habits stick.Take part in the Big Poo Review

If you listen to a podcast like ours, you're probably familiar with the phrase “daddy issues.” A more accurate way to understand daddy issues is as a form of attachment wounding, which describes situations where our adult relationships are affected by complicated, difficult, or traumatic experiences we had as a child. In this episode, Forrest and Dr. Rick explore what daddy issues are, how they relate to attachment theory, sexism and the broader social and historical context, different forms of attachment wounding, and a simple way to understand your attachment style. They then walk through four common sets of symptoms and challenges related to attachment wounding, and what a person can do to move toward secure attachment.Watch the Episode: Prefer watching video?

This is the podcast's five-year anniversary, and over that time I've submerged myself in psychology, self-help, and personal growth content - and as a result I've changed in many important ways. At the same time, some things have been very hard to change. It's surprising how even after learning so much I still often  feel like I'm pushing the same old rocks up the same old hills. On today's episode I'm joined by Dr. Rick Hanson to explore why we struggle to get better, how much change is realistically possible, what makes real change hard, the hidden barriers to lasting change, and what we can do to overcome them.Watch the Episode: Prefer watching video?

On today's episode Forrest and Dr. Rick are joined by Dr. Elissa Epel, a psychologist and leading stress researcher, to explore the science behind the stress response. They talk about the different forms of stress, what separates “good” stress from “bad” stress, how we can take advantage of good stress, and dealing with existential forms of stress like the climate crisis. About our Guest: Elissa Epel is a psychologist, bestselling author, and a Professor and Vice Chair in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco.
