Podcasts about overthink

Have you ever replayed the same conversation over and over again in your head?"I should have said that...""Why did I say that?""What if they misunderstood me?"If yes, you're not alone.In this episode of The Aaditya Mehta Show, we explore why our minds overthink conversations, what actually happens inside our brain, and a simple framework to help you stop creating stories that were never true.Episode 2: Why Do We Overthink Conversations?If you've ever walked away from a conversation only to replay it for the next three days, this episode is for you.

Our Daily Scripture Readings and Reflection: Jesus calls us to become like children. This does not mean being immature, but approaching God's truth with humility, trust, and simplicity. Frank Pavone reflects on how we can sometimes complicate clear moral truths by overthinking them, searching for loopholes, or allowing fear and pressure to cloud what we already know is right. A childlike heart recognizes truth, trusts God, and responds without endless excuses.

After a BIG announcement (!!!), your hosts David and Ellie get into the economic and psychological features of the state no one wants to be stuck in: unemployment. How does capitalism structurally construct “wageless life” while nonetheless treating it as a personal failure or unhappy accident? What's the connection between unemployment and reactionary politics? And is AI going to put us all out of a job? Correcting misconceptions about automation, UBI, and more, your hosts take you through some significant arguments about the impacts of unemployment and reflect on why this socially-constructed position can make us feel so worthless even when we know that we're not the problem. In the Substack bonus segment, Ellie and David reflect on the end of Overthink and share some reasons for it.Works Discussed:Aaron Benanav, Automation and the Future of WorkAaron Benanav, “Is the AI Bubble About to Burst?”Eloundou et al., “GPTs are GPTs: An Early Look at the Labor Market Impact Potential of Large Language Models”Charles Babbage, On the Economy of Machines and ManufacturesMichael Denning, “Wageless Life”Wendy Brown, In the Ruins of NeoliberalismRegina Bateson, “Perceptions of pandemic resume gaps: Survey experimental evidence from the United States”Start your business today with the industry's best business partner, Shopify.

Some days life looks fine on the outside, but inside you feel like you're constantly second-guessing yourself, overthinking every decision, and wondering why you can't just trust yourself. Maybe you catch yourself saying, “I don't know what I want,” or replaying simple choices long after they've been made. Overthinking can start to feel like your default setting, especially when self-doubt and people-pleasing have shaped how you move through the world. It can feel like your inner voice is getting quieter, while everything else gets louder. In this episode, we gently explore what's actually happening underneath overthinking, why it shows up even in calm seasons of life, and what it might be revealing about your relationship with yourself. If you've been trying to “figure it out” but mostly feel stuck in your head, this conversation is for you. Cheers, Marie  

Sometimes thinking less is the real challenge.

Highly sensitive people often struggle with overthinking because their nervous system is wired to notice more, process deeply, and anticipate potential problems. When anxiety, uncertainty, or fear arise, the mind can easily become caught in loops of analyzing, replaying, and trying to find certainty.In this episode, we explore why sensitive minds overthink, what your brain is actually trying to accomplish when it gets stuck in those mental loops, and how mindfulness can help you return to the present moment when fear pulls you into the past or the future.Drawing from nervous system awareness, mindfulness practice, and Buddhist teachings from Thich Nhat Hanh and Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, this episode offers a more compassionate way of understanding overthinking.You'll learn:why overthinking is often fear trying to create safetyhow highly sensitive people become vulnerable to mental loopsthe Buddhist teaching of the Second Arrow and how it relates to anxiety and overthinkingwhy the mind mistakes certainty for safetyhow mindfulness helps us return to the present momentIf you'd like a supportive space to practice these kinds of nervous system tools more regularly, I'd love to invite you to explore my Rooted Resilience Membership Circle.Rooted Resilience is my membership community for highly sensitive people who want support calming anxiety, regulating their nervous systems, and building greater resilience and self-trust.

The mistake took ten seconds. It's the replay that's lasted all week.This is the somatic session — the practice half of the pair that began with the explainer, When One Bad Moment Turns Your Whole Week to Trash. There we looked at why a single bad moment can hijack days at a time: the good stuff fades fast, the one thing you got wrong stays vivid, and the body keeps broadcasting the threat long after it's actually passed. This session is where we quiet it — a guided practice to stop overthinking that one moment your brain won't let go of. Nothing to work out here, no notebook — this is a full somatic practice. Audio only, somewhere you won't be interrupted, eyes free to close.We're not going to argue you out of the replay; the loop isn't really living in your thoughts, it's lower down, in the body. So that's where we go. Using the principles of somatic experiencing, we'll find where the moment is still being held, let the charge it's carrying begin to move and settle, and give your system the one signal it's been waiting for: it's over, you can come down now.When you stand up, the moment will still have happened. It'll just have stopped echoing — left where it belongs, in the ten seconds it actually took, instead of carried into Monday.Come to this one whenever a week's been hijacked by something that lasted seconds — a body scan meditation approach for the professional who can't stop replaying. Headphones on. Let the rest of it land.

What's your mindset when the pressure is ON? Do you freeze? Overthink? Choke? Or do you get present, dialed-in, and ready for the moment no matter how big it is? Let's be real. Most people say they're built for pressure. But behind the scenes, they're terrified of blowing it. They're obsessed with the outcome instead of the opportunity. That's why J.R. sat down with 2-time World Series Champion, Jonny Gomes. Jonny's life is a masterclass in pressure-tested performance. Before age 22, he survived a tragic car accident that claimed the life of his best friend, suffered a heart attack, and endured more adversity than most people experience in a lifetime. Yet somehow, he found a way to rise and come up clutch when it mattered most. Known as one of baseball's ultimate clubhouse leaders, Gomes helped lead both the Boston Red Sox and Kansas City Royals to World Series titles. But what made him special wasn't just what he did on the field. It was how he approached pressure, preparation, leadership, and life. In this powerful conversation, Jonny shares the mindset shifts that helped him thrive under pressure, the importance of self-evaluation, and why focusing on opportunities instead of outcomes may be the key to unlocking your best. If you've ever felt overlooked, underestimated, or weighed down by pressure, this episode is for you. In this episode, you'll hear: Why focusing on the opportunity (vs. the outcome) is the secret to performing under pressure How self-evaluation became Jonny's greatest performance advantage Why the mirror may be the best coach you'll ever have The powerful mindset shift from proving doubters wrong to proving supporters right Why shrinking your circle can dramatically increase your impact and influence How to become more present in the moments that matter most What today's athletes and parents are getting wrong about grit Why sports (and life) are harder than most people realize The importance of winning the respect of the person next to you How to build a championship mindset without becoming obsessed with results KEY QUOTES "I never set my goals on the outcome... I just wanted the opportunity." - Jonny Gomes "The best coach that you'll ever surround yourself with is the dude in the mirror." - Jonny Gomes "Stop trying to prove the haters wrong. Start proving the people in your inner circle right." - Jonny Gomes "It's not about remembering. It's about storing... the more you self-evaluate, the more storage you put in your brain." - Jonny Gomes CONNECT WITH JONNY Instagram (personal): @jonnygomesusa | https://www.instagram.com/jonnygomesusa/ Instagram (business): @indieproagency | https://www.instagram.com/indieproagency/ NEXT STEPS Listen to the full episode: https://jamesreid.com/jonny-gomes-cuc Want to bring your best home more consistently?

email me your questions at cpsychic@cpsychicreadings.comIn this episode, we explore how powerful the mind really is — and how often that power gets used to imagine the worst-case scenario. If you can overthink what might go wrong, you can also begin training your mind to notice what could go right.This episode is about shifting your focus from fear, worry, and emotional spiraling into solutions, support, intuition, and possibility. We'll talk about why the mind often scans for danger, how overthinking can block your ability to hear your intuition clearly, and how to gently redirect your energy toward better questions, better outcomes, and a more grounded sense of trust.This is not about pretending everything is perfect or ignoring reality. It is about remembering that fear does not have to be the only story your mind rehearses.If you have been feeling stuck in worry, waiting for the worst, or struggling to trust that things can work out, this episode will help you start seeing where guidance, hope, and solutions may already be showing up. If this episode resonated with you and you feel like you need clarity around your next step, you can book a personal psychic reading with me through my website. https://cpsychicreadings.com/psychic-readingsSupport the showWant to support the show?Visit the Mystic Merch page and treat yourself to something spiritually aligned.

Is it easier to cheat now than ever? In episode 177 of Overthink, Ellie and David talk about cheating. From micro-cheating on your girlfriend to doping in sports, cheating appears to have escalated in various domains. Your hosts explain the relationship between cheating and rule-breaking, then question norms surrounding cheating in romantic relationships. Why is cheating considered the ultimate dealbreaker? Is it always dishonest? Finally, they address the rise of generative AI cheating in schools and the ethical numbing that promotes it. How is ChatGPT different from using a calculator? And has it become rational for students to cheat? In the Substack Bonus Segment, Ellie and David question whether we should even use the word ‘cheating' for romantic relationships rather than infidelity.Works Discussed:Stuart Green, “Cheating”Natasha McKeever, “Is the Requirement of Sexual Exclusivity Consistent with Romantic Love?”Deborah Rhode, Cheating: Ethics in Everyday LifeJames D.

If you know me, then you know there was a time in my life where vacation spending felt so exciting in the moment…and so stressful the second I got home. I remember going on a girls trip to Vegas in my early 20s. Deep down, I knew I couldn't really afford the trip the way I was approaching it, but I went anyway. No real plan, no clear budget…just spending based on what felt good in the moment. And when I got back? Reality hit. I was scrambling to cover my normal expenses, including rent. That post-vacation stress didn't match the experience I thought I was creating. I thought I was enjoying my life, but what I was really doing was borrowing peace from my future self to enjoy the present. In this episode, we're breaking down the truth about vacation spending—what actually causes people to overspend, why guilt shows up so often around travel, and how to approach your trips in a way that lets you enjoy them fully without throwing your finances off track. Because guilt-free spending isn't about spending less…it's about spending with a plan.   In this episode, we discuss: Why vacation spending often leads to stress, guilt, or financial setbacks The two extremes people fall into: overspending vs over-restricting Why emotional spending is more likely during travel How to plan your vacation spending before the trip (not during it) Why deciding your experience matters more than just setting a budget How to structure your days to balance spending and enjoyment The importance of staying aware of your spending while traveling How to enjoy your trip without feeling restricted or financially anxious   This episode is especially helpful if you: Feel stressed or guilty after spending money on vacations Tend to overspend while traveling and regret it later Overthink every purchase on trips and struggle to enjoy yourself Want to travel more but feel unsure how to afford it responsibly Feel like you have to "recover" financially after vacations Want to enjoy experiences without sacrificing financial stability   Why this matters: Vacation spending isn't the problem. It's how you approach it. Most people fall into one of two patterns: they either overspend and deal with the consequences later…or they restrict so much that they can't even enjoy the experience. But there's a middle ground. When you plan ahead, decide what actually matters, and stay connected to your spending while you travel, everything changes. You stop making emotional, in-the-moment decisions and start making intentional ones. And that's what allows you to enjoy your trip fully…without coming home stressed, behind, or trying to fix your finances.   Timestamps: [02:45] Raya's past experiences with vacation spending tend to be a common scenario for a lot of women. [05:13] Don't wait until you're on the trip to start figuring out your finances. Planning ahead allows you to be proactive, instead of reactive with money. [09:00] When planning a trip, always start with the type of experience you want to have. This will help you plan spending. [12:20] There's a middle ground between being aware of what's happening with your money and spending while on vacation.   Resources Mentioned: Episode #30: Vacation Planning on a Budget Request a free money call with Raya City Girl Savings Personal Finance Portfolio Financial Focus Coaching Program   Vacation spending doesn't have to come with guilt, but it does require intention. When you plan ahead, decide what matters, and stay connected along the way, your trips stop being something you have to recover from…and start being something that fits into your life. You get to enjoy the experience and feel good when you come home…not stressed, not behind, but still in control of your money. And if you're ready to build that kind of structure and confidence with your finances (not just for vacations, but for everyday life), support and accountability can make all the difference. You can request a free money call using the link in the Resources section. You don't have to choose between experiences and financial peace. You just have to learn how to plan for both.

Are you paying attention when you scroll online? In episode 176 of Overthink, Ellie and David draw your attention to attention. They explain why attention is so hard to define and debate the extent to which it should be equated with consciousness. Is attention the same thing as consciousness? Or are there important differences between these concepts? They consider different ways that attention has been classified, from “overt vs. covert” to “effortful vs. effortless” to “voluntary vs. involuntary.” Ellie and David then discuss the commodification of attention and how it has been intensified by the digital era, or what Chris Hayes calls “the age of attention.” How has social media changed the way we attend to the world, to ourselves, and to others? Is our attention still our own? Or has it become alienated? In the Substack Bonus Segment, Ellie and David talk about Simone Weil's and Iris Murdoch's ethical approaches to attention.Works Discussed:Jelle Bruineberg, “Rethinking the cognitive foundations of the attention economy”Chris Hayes, The Sirens' Call: How Attention Became the World's Most Endangered ResourceWilliam James, The Principles of PsychologyCarlos Montemayor and Harry Haroutioun Haladjian, Consciousness, Attention, and Conscious AttentionThe Friends of Attention, Attensity!

Play it cool and play this episode. In episode 175 of Overthink, Ellie and David talk about what it means to be cool. From swag gap relationships to Mark Zuckerberg and the manosphere's failed attempts at being cool, your hosts examine coolness's ties to youth and subversion and its opposition to displays of wealth. They trace how coolness emerged from Black American culture in the 1930s, before being associated with Beat Poets and punk musicians. They consider precursors to cool, like the Italian term sprezzatura, and question the ontology and the morality of coolness. Is coolness an attitude or a state? Is it inherently narcissistic? Can you ever successfully “try” to be cool? In the Substack bonus segment, Ellie and David discuss coolness through an ethical perspective.Works Discussed:Joel Dinerstein, “Jazz Cool”Ted Gioia, The History of Jazzbell hooks, We Real Cool: Black Men and MasculinityDick Pountain and David Robins, Cool Rules: Anatomy of an AttitudeEnjoy our work?

Have you ever felt like every tab in your brain is open, and not one of them will close? That was Sam Yo at 23, the year before he walked away from a successful London stage career to spend years in a Thai Buddhist monastery. In this episode, I sit down with him for the conversation I needed when my own brain wouldn't stop running. Sam is now a Peloton instructor and the author of The Monk's Mindset (Blackstone, May 19, 2026). His arc, from London stage to Thai monastery to a global Peloton audience, was just featured in PEOPLE Magazine. He left a roller coaster of stage, sports car, and success because the noise inside had grown louder than the noise outside. What he learned in the silence is what he teaches his Peloton students and the readers of his new book: you don't need to escape your life to find stillness. You learn to carry it. We talk about why your overthinking isn't actually a thinking problem, what your nervous system is doing at two in the morning when you can't let a conversation go, and the small named practices that interrupt the spiral. Sam walks us through a 90-second breath exercise live on the recording, the three daily anchors he uses to keep himself tethered, and the three filters his teacher gave him to run before you react to anything. In This Episode Why your overthinking isn't a thinking problem (and what it actually is) The 4-2-6 breath that interrupts a 2 a.m. spiral in 90 seconds, walked through live on the episode The three daily anchors that quiet a restless mind: intention, reset, reflection The walking practice Sam's teacher gave him when he couldn't sit still and meditate How emptying your cup changes the way you listen in every relationship you have The three filters to run before you react: is it true, is it kind, is it necessary Why a Peloton ride teaches the same thing a Thai monastery taught Sam The teacher's lesson about a cut foot that reframes every setback as redirection This episode is for anyone who has lain awake at two in the morning replaying a conversation from earlier that day, wondering why their brain won't let it go. It is for the person who has downloaded three meditation apps and quit each one because the silence felt like one more thing to be good at. Sam's tools don't ask you to retreat from your life. They ask you to find the stillness that's already in it, in five breaths before you check your phone, in the warmth of a mug between your hands, in the sound of a broom on a kitchen floor.

What resources do Indigenous studies provide for addressing the crisis of human-made climate change? And how is the climate crisis linked to settler colonialism? In episode 174 of Overthink, Ellie and David chat with Indigenous philosopher and activist Kyle Whyte about his work on climate action. They discuss how Indigenous people are often blocked out of conversations about environmental impact, the common mischaracterization of the land back movement, and the importance of kinship. How are certain groups disproportionately affected by climate change? Is climate change actually a new problem? And how can respecting land rights of Indigenous people offer some solutions to climate change? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts question who is called upon to respond to the crisis of climate change and how non-Indigenous people should engage in discussions surrounding climate change and colonialism.Works Discussed:Kyle Whyte, “Climate Action at the Speed of Consent”Kyle Whyte, “Indigenous Climate Change Studies: Indigenizing Futures, Decolonizing the Anthropocene”Kyle Whyte, “Settler Colonialism, Ecology, and Environmental Injustice”Enjoy our work?

As life grows increasingly complex, exemplified today by the risk and promise of artificial intelligence, it can be easy to become frozen with overthinking about the next steps, says author Daniel Pink. But sometimes life demands more action and less analysis, he believes. Speaking to Leader's Edge Editor in Chief Sandy Laycox and Podcast Producer Zach Ewell at The Council's Operations Leadership Forum, Pink talks through different ways to approach our lives during this “fricking weird” state of the world. From figuring out how to stay motivated without false optimism, writing down the things we want to stop doing, or learning how to give better feedback, Pink shares useful and well-researched advice for daily life.

Thou shalt not miss this episode! In episode 173 of Overthink, Ellie and David talk about theft. They discuss the lack of legal repercussions for tech companies stealing information to train new AI models, how feudalism and capitalism produced the conditions for stealing land with the creation of private property, and what the historic association between kleptomania and women demonstrates about the gendered dimension of theft. What does the move from heist films to grift docudramas say about 21st century capitalism? Can you steal land if it's not already property? And why do we sometimes take the side of thieves?

Does decolonization require violence? In episode 172 of Overthink, Ellie and David take a closer look at Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth, “the bible of decolonization.” They discuss Fanon's bold stance on violence, his condemnation of rituals and dance, and some potential criticisms. They also question what the subjectivity of colonized people looks like given colonialism's psycho-affective effects. What does violence do for the colonized? Who gets liberation movements off the ground? And what are the challenges that a newly independent nation might face once a colonial power has been overthrown? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts talk about Fanon's critique of Africanism and some of the clinical cases Fanon incorporates into this important work.Works Discussed:Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of The EarthConcerning Violence (2014)Enjoy our work?

This week, Alissa sits down with social anxiety coach and author Claire Eastham to unpack where that fear really comes from and what it takes to stop performing your way through every interaction.Claire shares how years of masking and people-pleasing led to a nervous breakdown, and how embracing the very traits she'd been told were "too much" became the turning point. Together they explore why sensitive, empathic people are especially prone to over-scripting social situations and why the goal was never to stop feeling uncomfortable.This conversation is equal parts honest and light, full of personal stories, practical strategies, and the kind of permission-giving reframes that change how you show up. The real shift isn't becoming someone who doesn't get anxious. It's becoming someone who doesn't need to hide it.In this episode:Why social anxiety develops from early experiences of being told you're "not okay" the way you are, and how the brain starts treating social situations as threatsThe two patterns people fall into: total avoidance or over-preparing and scripting every interaction, and why neither leads to real connectionHow naming your anxiety out loud in the moment can cut it in half and why the shame of being "found out" is often worse than the anxiety itselfClaire's approach to gradual exposure with a specific goal, broken into small steps, paired with genuine rewardsThe power of replacing small talk with real questions and why curiosity is a better social strategy than performanceWhy the most magnetic version of you isn't a polished persona but the one who's actually comfortable being themselvesConnect with Claire:Website: https://substack.com/@thatsocialanxietycoach?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=5bv5psInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/claireeasthamuk/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wereallmadhere00My new book 'Party with Panic: How to Conquer Panix Attacks (for good)' Is available to pre-order now and will be published on 11th May.

Hello Everyone,Welcome to Day 4 of The Dancer Reset Series. Hopefully we are feeling good! Let's dive in to episode 4 Day 4: Why You Overthink Under PressureThe combination starts and your brain won't stop. Check your arms. Is your core on? What comes next? Why does everyone else look so relaxed? You're thinking so hard about every single thing that there is no space left to actually dance — and the harder you try to switch it off, the louder it gets.Overthinking under pressure is one of the most common and least talked about struggles in dance. And in this episode we get into exactly why it happens.We cover what is going on in your nervous system when pressure triggers the overthinking spiral, why trying harder to stop thinking actually makes it worse, and the specific mental tools that help you get out of your head and back into your body — where the dancing actually lives. Because you already know how to do this. Your body just needs your mind to get out of the way.

Bottom, rump, booty, fanny, tush, and derriere! In episode 171 of Overthink, Ellie and David talk about butts. Why do humans have bigger rear ends than other animals? Why are butts often seen as a site of aversion? And is anal sex a metaphor for the universe? They discuss the evolutionary history of butts, how the music industry helped normalize bigger butts, and how the exploitation of Sara Baartman in the 19th century is part of a larger story about the sexualization of black women. In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts talk about Marquis de Sade's discussion of anal sex and appeals to nature in justifications of human sexual practices.Works Discussed:Georges Bataille, “The Solar Anus”Leo Bersani, “Is the Rectum a Grave?”Janell Hobson, “Venus in the Dark: Blackness and Beauty in Popular Culture”Dinah Holtzman, “Ass You Lick It: Bey and Jay Eat Cake”Sadiah Qureshi, “Displaying Sara Baartman, the ‘Hottentot Venus'.”Heather Radke, Butts: A BackstoryChristopher Wallner et al, “Interethnic Influencing Factors Regarding Buttocks Body Image in Women from Nigeria, Germany, USA and Japan”Enjoy our work?

ITL shares the everyday things they tend to overanalyze.

Many men think they're failing in dating because they're not attractive enough, confident enough, or saying the right things—but what if the real reason is something far more uncomfortable? You see her. You feel the pull. You want to go over… and then something hits. Your chest tightens. Your mind starts racing. You hesitate. Overthink. And before you know it—you do nothing. Later, you replay it. You tell yourself you missed your chance. Again. And the worst part? You start believing it means something about you… that you're not good enough, not confident enough, not the kind of man women choose. But in this episode, David breaks down what's really happening—and it's not what you think. Fear of rejection isn't about women. It's about what you believe rejection means about you. He reveals how this fear quietly controls your behavior—stopping you from approaching, holding you back from expressing yourself, and trapping you in a loop of avoidance, overthinking, and self-doubt. And the real cost? Loneliness. Isolation. Missed opportunities. Years of your life slipping by while you stay stuck. Instead of chasing confidence hacks or trying to "get it right," David explains why the real work is deeper—emotional, psychological, and identity-based. Because until you change how you relate to rejection, nothing changes.

The discourse around today's crisis of care responds to the shredding of America's social safety net, but leaves out the most vulnerable almost entirely. In episode 170 of Overthink, Ellie and David discuss how this works with Premilla Nadasen, author of Care: The Highest Stage of Capitalism. They discuss how gender fits into the care industry, the harms of associating care work with emotion, and how the practice of care has been commodified. How is it that we deny the most basic care from those who need it most? What are the harms of framing care workers as family members? And how has racial capitalism produced the explosion of the care economy that we're seeing today? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts think about the distinction between the practice of care and care itself and how labor workers can learn from care workers in their modes of organizing.Works Discussed:Arlie Hochschild, The Managed HeartPremilla Nadasen, Care: The Highest Stage of CapitalismEnjoy our work?

With the rise of hustle culture, the grind, and capitalist productivity, we often associate discipline with toxicity. But is there still value in disciplining oneself? In episode 169 of Overthink, Ellie and David take a disciplined approach to this question and more! They discuss modern culture's rejection of discipline and how this manifests on the left vs the right, the association between discipline and punishment, and Michel Foucault's seminal ideas on disciplinary power. How can we discipline children without resorting to punishment? And are there models of self-discipline that aren't rooted in punishment of the self? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts discuss Sandra Bartky's argument that gender norms are a modern form of disciplinary power. Works Discussed:Joan E. Durrant and Ashley Stewart-Tufescu. “What is “Discipline” in the Age of Children's Rights?.” Michel Foucault, Discipline and PunishMichel Foucault, The History of SexualityAdekunle A.

Why do we seek to escape from ourselves? In episode 168 of Overthink, Ellie and David take a closer look at Emmanuel Levinas's article “On Escape.” They discuss Levinas's claim that escape is central to the human condition and explore what exactly we try to escape from and escape to. They explain how this aspect of human existence is crystallized by our experiences of need, pleasure, and even nausea. Are we condemned to being needy beings? How does Levinas's view of shame put him at a distance from Sartre? And is Levinas right that to be a human is to never be at peace with oneself? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts discuss why escape is the condition of our time and critique Levinas's reading of idealism.Works Discussed:Emmanuel Levinas, “On Escape”Jean-Paul Sartre, NauseaEnjoy our work?

Are some people born evil, or are we all capable of evil acts? In episode 167 of Overthink, Ellie and David talk about all things evil. They think through the characterization of evil in Disney films, Leibniz's best of all possible worlds theory, the conflation of evil with badness, and Hannah Arendt's concept of the banality of evil. How does Manichaeism attempt to resolve the problem of evil? Is evil simply the lack of good in the world? And does the concept of evil still have relevance in an age of secular ethics or is the concept too weighed down by its own theological past? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts discuss evil people and how we might categorize them.

Today's guest is looking for titles to help bridge the large geographic gap between her and her sister. Ruth Werwai hails from Vancouver, Canada, but she's lived in Germany with her family for over a decade. Recently, she and her sister have created a book club of two. They've found that reading books together helps them feel close even while they're physically far apart. But when it comes to finding the right books, Ruth is feeling a bit stymied. A few recent selections have been, in Ruth's words, flops, and she's worried she's overthinking it. Ruth would love to feel more confident about recommending books that both she and her sister will enjoy. And since they use these books to spark conversation, it's important that the selected titles not only reflect their diverse reading tastes, but also give them plenty to talk about. Today, Ruth and Anne will try to suss out where their reading tastes overlap, and Anne hopes to recommend titles that will make for ideal sister book club picks. Find the list of titles discussed today on our show notes page at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/516. Anne's book Don't Overthink It came out exactly six years ago today!
