ADHD is officially classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder: a lifelong brain condition said to be present from birth. But despite decades of research, there is still no biomarker, no diagnostic brain scan, and no consistent neurological abnormality that can reliably distinguish an “ADHD brain” from a normal one.In this video, I examine why adult ADHD diagnoses have surged, especially among women, and why the evidence increasingly suggests that what we call adult ADHD maps far more closely onto extreme personality traits than to a discrete brain disorder.

Introverts are underrated. So says Susan Cain in her conversation with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about her book, Quiet. She explains why introversion isn't the same thing as shyness and she speaks of the many benefits of solitude and silent contemplation. They also discuss why modern schools and workplaces' obsession with extroversion is problematic, and the reasons for the shift from a culture of character to our current culture of personality. Cain concludes by sharing how the book has changed her own life and helped other introverts navigate a world that can't seem to stop talking.

The Reset You Actually Need – Day 3 So many people believe their struggles are just “part of who they are.” In Day 3 of The Reset You Actually Need, we unpack the personality traits people often romanticise - like being chaotic, overly self-sacrificing, emotionally intense, or the crazy party animal, and how these traits quietly sabotage growth, consistency, and self-trust. This episode explores: Why you cling onto certain traits as your armour even though they conflict with the person you are trying to become The psychology behind identifying too strongly with struggle How to evolve your identity without losing your edge If you've ever described yourself as “so chaotic,” “bad with routine,” or “a perfectionist,” this episode will help you see where personality ends and self-sabotage begins. This isn't about becoming boring or losing what makes you you. It's about upgrading the parts of your identity that are no longer serving your future. Part of a 10-day mini-series designed to reset your mindset, standards, and sense of self for the year ahead. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Martin Dubin, psychologist, former CEO, executive coach, and author of Blindspotting: How to See What's Holding You Back as a Leader. Marty brings a rare combination of clinical insight and real-world leadership experience to a topic that affects every project manager and frontline leader: the blindspots that quietly shape our behavior, decisions, and impact. Together, the discussion explores how motives often drive our actions without us realizing it, why strengths can become liabilities when overused, and how emotion acts as one of the most powerful and least discussed forces in leadership. Marty explains his layered model of blindspots, including identity, motive, traits, emotion, and behavior, and shows how leaders can build awareness without trying to "fix" who they are. You will also hear practical guidance on creating a simple change plan that actually sticks, using small behavioral tweaks, prompts, and accountability rather than dramatic personal transformation. The conversation closes with thoughtful examples of how blindspotting can improve not only leadership at work, but relationships at home as well. If you want practical insight into leading with greater self-awareness, emotional range, and intentional growth, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "The hardest part of leadership is not managing others. It's managing ourselves." "Your strengths work for you most of the time, which is why it's so hard to see when they start working against you." "You know, whatever it is, it's usually invisible to us until someone or something forces it into view." "Now, if you put the modifier TOO in front of it, what happens when you're TOO confident? What happens when you're TOO organized? What happens when you're TOO creative?" "What do they tell you? You are too...." "Motives constrict under stress, and that's often when blindspots do the most damage." "Traits don't need to be changed. They need to be regulated." "Emotion is one of the most powerful tools leaders have, whether they use it intentionally or not." "Real change comes from small behavioral tweaks, not personality transformation."

If you've done the mindset work, built the awareness, and still feel pulled back into anxiety or overdrive, this episode will make sense of what's happening.Because most of the time, it's not your thoughts that are the problem.It's the subconscious beliefs driving them.In this conversation, I'm joined by Tim Shurr, a master hypnotist with decades of experience helping high-achievers release the beliefs underneath anxiety, burnout, and perfectionism. We talk about why so many patterns persist despite years of mindset work, talk therapy, or self-awareness — and how hypnosis works at the level where real change actually happens.This episode demystifies hypnosis, explains why it can create rapid and lasting shifts, and explores how unconscious beliefs formed early in life continue to shape our stress responses as adults.In this episode, we cover:Why subconscious beliefs drive burnout, anxiety, and perfectionismHow unconscious “life rules” get installed and shape behaviorWhy talk therapy can feel like managing symptoms instead of changing patternsWhat hypnosis actually is and how it creates rapid changeWhy worthiness is often the core belief underneath overachievementHow people-pleasing and perfectionism are stress responses, not personality traitsWhy old patterns return — and how to reinforce real, lasting changeIf you're a high-achiever who has done the work, read the books, tried the tools — and still feels like something invisible keeps pulling you back into the same loops — this episode will help you understand what's really happening and show you a new way forward.Press play if you're ready to stop managing symptoms and start changing the beliefs running your life.Related Episodes:Previous EpisodeAre You High or Low Energy?

Fewer than five of charity: water's donors wrote a check during a 75,000-piece direct mail test, yet direct mail STILL lifted revenue by 1.5-2%!Behavioral science expert and DonorVoice founder Kevin Schulman is here to talk about why traditional direct mail metrics fall short, why your “non-check-writers” may be your biggest missed opportunity, and how personality-based messaging can transform donor engagement.You'll hear the inside story of a charity: water experiment that tested postcards vs. full letters, QR codes on the outer envelope, and personality trait targeting based on the Big Five framework. Kevin and I also dig into measuring donor commitment, what predicts retention, and how some nonprofits are increasing their first-year monthly donor retention by 6-9 percentage points simply by adjusting their communication volume. If you're rethinking how direct mail fits into your world, this episode will reshape how you design, segment, and evaluate your campaigns.Resources & LinksConnect with Kevin on LinkedIn and learn more about DonorVoice on their website.Check out the book I'm currently reading, Unreasonable Hospitality: The Remarkable Power of Giving People More Than They Expect, by Will Guidara.This show is brought to you by GivingTuesday!

Sent us text! We would love to hear from you!The advent of modern technology allows the production of this podcast despite the fact that Commander Drew is at sea and transmitting from the far eastern side of the Atlantic Ocean, while Dr. Paul is firmly planted in North America.The famous country music star, Willie Nelson reminds us that you are most likely to have positive results if you have positive thoughts.The term cult of personality was started in two centuries ago. However, in the modern sense the term serves as a warning to those who may be overly attracted to certain political leaders on the basis of a carefully crafted image designed to generate unquestioning allegiance due to one's public persona. Correspondingly, there are five primary personality traits: Openness - Conscientiousness - Extraversion - Agreeableness - Neuroticism. Which one describes you?As an example of good news, consider that a revelation new therapy for breast cancer reduces the need for two surgeries down to a single procedure, that has better health outcomes and patient satisfaction. If you are ever going to take a cruise on the high seas, Commander Drew strongly recommends Virgin Voyages; it's his favorite cruise line. Meet a wingman who has opened up his home as well as his heart to foster children desperately in need of a home. It is his way of paying back those who helped him when he was in the same position decades ago as a small child.

This episode was recorded in Fort Wayne, Indiana, during the 2025 Tri-State Dairy Conference.Dr. Schwanke begins by describing how we can shape cattle personalities through handling and management and adapting our strategies to accommodate different personality traits so as to not cause undue stress. Personality traits are consistent across time and context, which is nuanced by the other animals in a particular group. There are five generally recognized personality traits: boldness, exploration, activity, sociability and aggressiveness. Some debate exists as to whether dominance should be considered a sixth trait or if it's just an outcome of the other five. (5:43)Dr. Schwanke's research focused mainly on how cows react to specific stressors, such as adapting to an automated milking system. In a robotic system, cows who are more independent, explorative and bold are more likely to do well. Some diversity is good because it can help to minimize long-term antagonistic interactions in a group. If we have cows that are very similar to each other, it will take longer for them to establish a social hierarchy.  (10:05)The panel discusses where the research is in regard to on-farm applicability and potential genetic components of personality traits. In the future, Dr. Schwanke envisions automated assessments of cow personality through computer vision cameras in the barn, fed into an algorithm that creates a personality ranking of cows based on their behaviors. She also notes personality traits can help predict a cow's coping style: proactive, reactive and intermediate. Proactive cows are more bold, explorative and aggressive. They thrive in predictable, stable conditions. Reactive cows are more fearful, less active and less dominant. They typically do better than proactive cows in unpredictable or changing environments because they're better able to modify their behavior to the environment they find themselves in. (14:09)The panel talks about future research goals in this area, including transition to automated milking systems, modifying feed management for behavioral and nutritional requirements and impacts of commingling stress. The guests also explore behavioral research in calves and brainstorm about future research with this age group, as well as talk about potential implications of making the wrong selection decisions for personality traits. (20:08)Are there things dairy producers could do to condition calves to be more adaptable to an automated milking system later in life? If a calf is reared in an automated feeding system, do they adapt to an automated milking system more easily? We don't have the research yet to answer these questions, but they're great questions. The panel also talks about how to scale up personality trait information to large herds, how precision feeding systems and personality traits might interact and how machine learning and computer vision technology can automate personality trait assessments.

Psychopathy is often portrayed as a rare and distant phenomenon – something confined to movie villains or prison cells. Yet when psychopathy is combined with narcissism and Machiavellianism to form what psychologists call the Dark Triad, its impact becomes far more immediate. Individuals with these traits can wield disproportionate influence over our culture, institutions, and daily lives. What goes on inside their minds, and how do they shape the world around us? In this episode, Nate is joined by Dr. Reid Meloy and Dr. Nancy McWilliams to explore the inner workings of the Dark Triad personality traits and their manifestation in modern culture. Together, they trace the evolutionary roots of these traits, examine the predatory ways Dark Triad individuals engage with others, and consider the profound implications for leadership, power, and governance. Ultimately, they emphasize the importance of truth and community when navigating the complexities of human behavior. Why are Dark Triad individuals more likely to occupy positions of power? How do current cultural norms and expectations actually incentivize Dark Triad tendencies, including in governance? Most importantly, how can reorienting towards collective communication and cooperation help create guardrails against these ‘darker angels' of humanity?  (Conversation recorded on July 22nd, 2025) About Nancy McWilliams: Dr. Nancy McWilliams, Ph.D., ABPP, is a distinguished psychoanalyst, author, and educator internationally recognized for her contributions to the field of personality theory and psychodynamic diagnosis. She is Professor Emerita at the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology at Rutgers. Her published work addresses the clinical and cultural relevance of language in diagnosing complex personality patterns, including narcissistic and psychopathic structures, and she has written on the psychology of altruism, moral development, and the enduring role of psychoanalytic thinking in understanding human nature.    About Reid Meloy: Dr. J. Reid Meloy, Ph.D., ABPP, is a board-certified forensic psychologist, former clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, and a widely cited authority on psychopathy, personality disorders, and targeted violence. Dr. Meloy has served as a consultant, researcher, and trainer for numerous law enforcement, intelligence, and corporate security agencies around the world. He is the author or editor of more than 200 peer-reviewed publications and several seminal books, including The Psychopathic Mind, International Handbook of Threat Assessment, and Violent Attachments.    Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

It's another week of 2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer!!! The bears are back together and Bert managed to keep all his toes. This week Tom and Bert talk medical updates, mortality, Bert's trip to Paris, and toxic rich person traits. Speaking of traits, Bert tumbles down a rabbit hole of self-diagnosis with Tom and has a realization that he may or may not have some sort of personality disorder. He suspects it's something called HPV or maybe it was HBP, I forget which one it was. Anyway, Bert has a therapy sesh with Tom, and then they talk about LeeAnn's country bumpkin attitude in France, social anxiety, Bert's plan to throw pennies around the city, the Hawk Tua girl's financial mistake, and much more! 2 Bears, 1 Cave Ep. 275 https://tomsegura.com/tour https://www.bertbertbert.com/tour https://store.ymhstudios.com Chapter Markers 00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:21 - Medical Updates & Mortality Conflicts 00:08:14 - Bert In Paris/Dictator Colognes 00:18:40 - Rich Kids 00:24:21 - Personality Traits 00:31:57 - Center Of Attention 00:39:15 - Living With Charo & The Virtue Of Silence 00:44:54 - Social Anxiety 00:52:10 - An American Bumpkin In Paris 01:00:06 - No More Screen Time 01:04:36 - Bert's Penny Plan 01:08:36 - A Hawk Tua Rant Learn more about your ad choices.
