Podcasts about overthink

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.

In this segment, we're stepping into the everyday chaos — the workplace misunderstandings, the emotional spirals, the tiny things that somehow feel enormous at 2 AM. A girlfriend upset about a harmless drink with a 65‑year‑old coworker. A senior director firing off an aggressive email. A colleague telling you you'll ‘probably stay here for life.' And yes… the mystery of why no one else seems to drink water at work.These are the moments that make us question our judgment, our boundaries, and sometimes our sanity.

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? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts discuss the ethics of stealing from large corporations.Works Discussed:Elaine Abelson, When Ladies Go A-Thieving: Middle-Class Shoplifters in the Victorian Department StoreAnna Kornbluh “Falling Heists, Rising Grift: Filming Capital in the Already Long Twenty-First Century”Robert Nichols, Theft Is Property!

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.

If you've ever asked yourself, “Where should I open a brokerage account?”you're not alone. This is a common question I see in personal finance groups, and it can feel overwhelming when you're trying to make the “right” choice.In this episode, I break down how to choose a brokerage account for investing outside of retirement accounts, or where to open an IRA, without overcomplicating the decision. We'll walk through the key differences between Vanguard, Fidelity, and Charles Schwab, including fees, investment options, user experience, and account types. I also explain why I generally don't recommend higher-fee platforms like Merrill Lynch for DIY investors, and why simpler apps like Robinhood may not be ideal if you're trying to build a long-term, all-in-one investing strategy.By the end of this episode, you'll have the clarity and confidence to pick a platform and get started—without getting stuck in analysis paralysis.Key Takeaway: Don't overthink it!

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?

We're all busy, yet we're all commissioned as ambassadors of Christ in our world. How, then, are we to faithfully live out the greatest mission in the world in the midst of our limited time, attention, and energy? In this episode, we want to explore how we can live missionally, not only by adding things to our calendars, but first by being intentional with what already exists.

Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? The Heart Doesn't Overthink: Rumi Kobayashi on Identity, Wonder, and Loving PresenceHost Savia Rocks opens season seven of the Us People Podcast with a focus on legacy, peeling back cultural conditioning and trauma, and showing up without judgment, then welcomes writer Rumi Kobayashi from Kyoto, Japan. Rumi discusses being asked why she speaks English and links that question to limited curiosity, explaining her family moved to Australia in 1988 during Japan's bubble economy and she lived there for over a decade. They talk about self-love, fluid identity beyond labels, and how Rumi increasingly sees herself in the mirror as inherently worthy, influenced by a friend who survived stage-four pancreatic cancer. Rumi introduces her book, “The Heart Doesn't Overthink,” describing overthinking as a survival response, the heart's intuitive intelligence, wonder in everyday life (including “itadakimasu”), strengthening one's inner axis, and using judgment constructively. She shares moments of peace through loving connection, and closes by sharing where to find her (Instagram: @rumi_kobayashi_ author, YouTube, newsletter, and a store).00:00 Legacy and Trauma01:10 Season Seven Intro01:48 Meet Rumi02:15 Love and Self Love04:07 Kyoto Roots and English08:11 Identity and Expression12:30 Autism and Natural Movement16:18 Mirror Questions24:55 Miracle of Being Alive31:19 Energy of Places33:53 Heart Overthinking and AI37:01 Why Write a Book38:29 Owning Your Strangeness39:13 Purpose Beyond Shame40:59 Heart Versus Overthinking46:20 Wonder Inside The Book47:55 Food Gratitude Rituals54:31 Expanding Your Inner Axis59:41 Rethinking Judgment01:06:25 Finding Peace Through Love01:14:20 Where To Find Rumi01:16:32 Final Thanks And Signoff01:20:27 Closing Song And Outro Instagram: @rumi_kobayashi_ author Thank you so much to Rumi, for show us, that culture is key but also, placing your beautiful energy in life to live and not to overthink is key. - Savia RocksThey Key To Something Beautiful Is To Live In Your Identity and Express Who You Are Unapologetically With Gratitude - Savia RocksSupport the show

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.

Mansplainers, know-it-alls, and Grammar Nazis. In episode 166 of Overthink, Ellie and David think about the figure of the pedant with philosopher Arnoud S. Q. Visser about his book, On Pedantry: A Cultural History of the Know-it-All. They discuss the history of the pedant, how the charge of pedantry can promote anti-intellectualism, and the inherently gendered nature of the pedant. Why are pedants usually men? Who were considered pedants in antiquity, and how does pedantry show up nowadays? What are the moral flaws of the pedant? Is pedantry objective, or does it lie in the eye of the beholder? And what does it mean to say someone is pedantic? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts share their most pedantic takes and dive deeper into Montaigne's essay “On Pedantry.” Works Discussed:Michel de Montaigne, “On Pedantry”Arnoud S. Q.

Is the way we interact with technology moving us towards a cyborg future? In episode 164 of Overthink, Ellie and David take a closer look at Donna Haraway's seminal essay, “A Cyborg Manifesto,” in which Haraway critiques the increasing technologization of everyday life and questions what it means to be a feminist and a socialist in the age of informatics and cybernetics. They discuss her critique of identity politics, her notion of the “homework economy,” the increase of miniaturization in technology, and her appeal to pleasure and responsibility. Why should we discard the assumption that technology has deepened mind-body dualism? And what might the theory of the cyborg look like in light of the rise of generative AI? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts discuss how the cyborg can be found in popular media like Severance and Crimes of the Future, and how the cyborg differs to Frankenstein's monster.Works Discussed:Donna Haraway, “A Cyborg Manifesto”Dave Yan, “Posthuman Creativity: Unveiling Cyborg Subjectivity Through ChatGPT”Enjoy our work?

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.

Can Buzzfeed quizzes, Myers-Briggs Types, and Enneagrams tell us anything valid about who we are? In episode 163 of Overthink, Ellie and David discuss personality. They talk through the Big Five personality test and its legitimacy, the history of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test (MBTI), and how the concept of personality emerged out of abnormal psychology.

To what extent is drug addiction voluntary? In episode 162 of Overthink, Ellie and David chat with philosopher Hanna Pickard about her book, What Would You Do Alone in a Cage with Nothing but Cocaine? A Philosophy of Addiction. They discuss how the “broken brain model” of addiction emerged to combat the moral model of addiction and explore the consequences of both of these models. What drives some people into addiction? What does it mean to say that addiction is a brain disease? How should responsibility and blame fit into our understanding of this condition? And how do we identify when somebody's patterns of drug use have crossed the threshold into addiction? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts think about the temporality of addiction and what it means to hold an “addict identity.” Works Discussed:Alan Leshner, “Addiction Is a Brain Disease, and It Matters”Gabor Maté, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with AddictionHanna Pickard, What Would You Do Alone in a Cage with Nothing but Cocaine?
