When you're in a relationship with a covert narcissist, peace is often a performance—maintained at the expense of your own emotional well-being. This episode of The Covert Narcissism Podcast explores how covert narcissists condition those around them to bend, sacrifice, and stay silent just to avoid upsetting them. From partners who tell their kids “just do what your dad wants” to adult children asked to adjust their lives to keep the narcissistic parent happy, this episode exposes the high cost of maintaining “peace” in a toxic dynamic. We'll dive into real-life examples of how covert narcissists weaponize their moods to manipulate and control, how families get pulled into the dance of appeasement, and how to begin breaking this generational cycle. If you've ever felt responsible for someone else's happiness—or guilty for standing your ground—this episode is for you.

Unhappiness at work causes poor performance, disengagement, mistakes, absenteeism, mental health issues, and ultimately poor customer experience and anemic sales.But defining happiness at work seems so squishy. Is the leader's job to make people happy? Garrett Delph looks at happiness the way I look at empathy - as an intentional business strategy that can be operationalized and scaled.Today, we talk about the causes of unhappiness in a business culture, why increasing happiness and decreasing stress are good for the bottom line, how clarity plays a huge role in engaging your people, and what it looks like from a process and operations point of view. He shares why culture is operational and that people need a structure that enables them to understand expectations, communicate easily and safely, and collaborate - or they will just leave. We had a great conversation about how empathy is linked to happiness and why it needs to be modeled and discussed from the top. Lastly, Garrett leaves you with two paths to take if you suspect your business could be more effective, so you can take the next right steps to improve results. To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:Clarity is a form of empathy at work - when we are clear, we help people avoid anxiety, stress, and confusion, which leads to greater happiness.You have to balance the load with your managers - if you don't know what they are doing or who they are managing, you cannot understand where the workflow bottlenecks are.We are all needed for the business to function. And people need direction and instruction to ensure we're all on the same page."As leaders, often we hire great people and we buy the lie ‘hire great people and set them free' not realizing you can't do that, or you fail the people." — Garrett DelphThe Empathy Edge Episode References: Dr. Tracy Brower: The Secret to Happiness at WorkBrent Lowe and Susan Basterfield: How Innovative Organizations Lead and Scale - No Managers RequiredSetting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality in Business by Danny MeyerFrom Our Partner:SparkEffect partners with organizations to unlock the full potential of their greatest asset: their people.

Along the way, they share personal stories (including a traumatic ice cream incident), roast historical misogyny, and debate the dangers of having too many pillows.

 I have seen a movie clip about that, and it was not true.The author thinks that we take drugs because we don't live in a perfect world.First, we live in a perfect world!Second, we are not white mice! The white mice will choose drugs when being alone, too fewer exercises, bad food …For instance, in Krabi/Thailand, 1.) one of the most beautiful places in the world, 2.) with excellent food, 3.) great selection of spas and recreation, 4.) even with a good variety of beautiful sexy girls, Ladyboys and all of these to a low price… Still, you see the tourists taking all kind of drugs and that quite a lot… What are the real causes of addiction:1.) Suppressed negative feelings and traumas2.) Fear3.) To have problems4.) Depression/Frustration5.) Anger 6.) Sadness7.) Unhappiness8.) Not enough sex or not to share your sex with a sex-partner. 9.) No sense in living, a mission is missing.Only if we eliminate the cause of addiction, we can get rid of an addiction.Most of all addicted people are just only changing their addiction instead to get rid of the addiction! And that is science proofed. You can't really improve anything when you don't change the cause or reason through that the problem is caused!!!For instance: If somebody is overweighted, he should ask why he overeats, exercises too less or lives an unhealthy lifestyle! Next step change your life that you don't need to live an unhealthy lifestyle.Last step: Live a healthy lifestyle.My Video: What causes Addiction? https://youtu.be/bXvhkMpxe4kMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/What-causes-Addiction.mp3

But is there more than a practical purpose behind faith?

In this enlightening conversation, I was joined by Dan Chapelle, a clinical psychologist and bonafide philosopher with a deep interest in religion and meditation. Our discussion ranged widely, from the nuances of Eastern and Western philosophies to practical approaches for a more contented life. Dan shared insights from both his personal journey and his books, providing a rich tapestry of ideas centred around the necessity of unhappiness and the power of meditative self-care. What You'll Learn: The Intersection of Philosophy and Psychology: Discover how psychology and philosophy intertwine through the works of Freud, Jung, Nietzsche, and Eastern philosophies such as Buddhism and Daoism. Learn how these disciplines explore the complexities of the human mind and our quest for understanding and contentment. Importance of Unhappiness: Uncover why Dan views unhappiness as a crucial aspect of life rather than a condition to be overly medicated or avoided. Engage with the ideas from figures like Buddha and Job, emphasising the necessity of accepting life's inherent challenges. Meditative Self-Care: Learn about the practice of meditation as a tool for attention training, self-awareness, and the acceptance of reality. Discover practical insights into how meditation can help balance emotions and redirect attention from negative thought patterns. Attention and Intention in Everyday Life: Explore the concept that attention is the most critical tool we possess, shaping our experiences and responses. Understand how directing our attention and refining our intentions can alter our perception and experience of the world. Key Takeaways: Life's Challenges: Embrace the understanding that life is inherently difficult, and by accepting this, we can find deeper contentment. Meditation: Use meditation as a practical method for managing your attention and fostering acceptance. Philosophical Insights: Philosophical and psychological teachings from the East and West offer valuable perspectives on human experience and the nature of reality. Unhappiness as a Teacher: Viewing unhappiness as a part of life encourages personal growth and fosters a more profound fulfillment. Attention Control: Directing attention wisely influences emotional health and can lead to a more balanced life. Resources: Books by Dan Chappelle: "A Minimalist Ethic for Everyday Life" "Meditative Self-Care" Explore Dan's insights further and access more resources on MeditativeSelfCare.com. By embracing these philosophies and practices, you can cultivate a more profound sense of contentment and understanding in everyday life. Each step you take towards accepting life's difficulties can open the door to new perspectives and inner peace.

SWM 148 - 14 red flags your marriage is drifting towards divorce, affairs or lifelong unhappiness. Check out the blog post here for more details and links.Have you noticed how quickly disagreements turn into demonization these days? Whether it's politics, religion, or even marriage, we've gotten stuck in a cycle of contempt—where the ‘other side' isn't just wrong, they're evil. And it's destroying relationships.I see this in my marriage coaching practice all the time: spouses who've spent years labeling each other as selfish, cruel, or hopeless. They roll their eyes, assign malicious motives, and show up just to prove their partner is the problem. Once that mindset takes root, digging out takes months—sometimes years.But there's hope. When couples catch it early—before contempt hardens into habit—change can happen fast. Today, I'm sharing 14 warning signs that you're heading down this dangerous path. Some might surprise you (like sarcasm or ‘harmless' nicknames), but the last one? It's the red flag you can't ignore.

If you've enjoyed Talking to Teens, we'd love if you could leave us a five-star rating, and if you have time, a review! Jenny Anderson and Rebecca Winthrop, authors of The Disengaged Teen, join us to discuss their insights on teenage disengagement and share strategies to foster better learning, emotional well-being, and overall development in teenagers.When it comes to our teens' education, many of us attempt to walk a tightrope, balancing between overly optimistic perceptions and stark realities. As parents, we often perceive our teens as more engaged in learning than they truly are. What we might not realize is that many teenagers experience varying levels of disengagement during their educational journey, which can affect their overall growth and happiness. Understanding these dynamics within our children can drastically change our approach and thereby foster better communication and support.In this episode, we explore the science of teenage disengagement with Jenny Anderson and Rebecca Winthrop, the authors of The Disengaged Teen: Helping Kids Learn Better, Feel Better, and Live Better. Jenny, an award-winning journalist, and Rebecca, a senior fellow at Brookings and professor at Georgetown University, come together to bring attention to the various ways teens engage with school and learning. Through research and extensive interviews, they've identified different modes of learning engagement that teens experience: Resistor, Passenger, Achiever, and Explorer modes. Their framework serves as a tool to help us recognize and support our teens based on their unique engagement level. The authors explain how crucial it is to tailor our approach to these modes, especially as teenage learning engagement can directly impact their emotional well-being and future success. Jenny and Rebecca provide insightful observations, such as why boys might be more prone to being in Passenger mode and how fostering agency is key to shifting them into Explorer mode.Understanding the Four ModesJenny and Rebecca delve deep into the characteristics of each mode. They urge parents to consider intentional questions beyond the simple "How was your day?"–questions that encourage teens to express more than routine responses. They also stress the importance of recognizing early signs of disengagement, especially when children are content with coasting and not pushing themselves to explore or challenge what they know.Achiever mode might initially sound ideal, with teens appearing diligent and high-performing, but the conversation reveals a hidden downside. Unhappiness in Achiever mode—an inability to cope with failure and a fixation on perfectionism—can lead to mental health challenges. Encouraging Curiosity and AgencyThe authors enlighten us about the importance of curiosity and the role of perceived agency in encouraging teens to shift from Passenger or Achiever modes into the coveted Explorer mode. Rather than telling teenagers what to pursue, parents are encouraged to notice their children's interests and support them, regardless of whether it aligns with traditional goals, such as college admissions.Jenny and Rebecca also emphasize the importance of giving teens free time to rest their minds and explore creative unconventional thought. They discuss how moments of unstructured time foster creativity and lead to "Transcendent Thinking," a deeper level of cognitive engagement that comes from meaningful, self-driven inquiry.Breaking the Nagging-Procrastination CycleMany parents find themselves trapped in a cycle of nagging and procrastination, striving to get their children to complete their tasks. Jenny and Rebecca suggest practical methods to help break this cycle by prompting kids to make their own plans and holding them accountable to those plans—ultimately encouraging them to take responsibility for their learning.In the Episode...Our conversation with Jenny and Rebecca reveals critical insights into teenage learning engagement. Beyond the topics discussed, we also delve into:The impact of social expectations on teenage learningHow parental expectations can inadvertently contribute to perfectionismThe benefits of redefining success for our kidsSpecific strategies for helping teens open up about their educational experiencesFeeling equipped to tackle teenage disengagement?
