| 070 - "Don't Shoot Yourself with The Second Arrow" | 02 Sep 2024 | 00:08:03 | |
"Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional." You've probably heard that one. It's not the most useful phrase. There are a lot of really difficult or tragic situations where your pain is going to be accompanied by some suffering. However, the intellectual idea behind that phrase is sound: we can, in moments of more lower-case p pain, pile on all sorts of mental anguish and worry to an already painful situation. Where possible, you want to try to avoid compounding that necessary pain with unnecessary suffering. Today, we've got a tool—"The Second Arrow of Suffering"—that will help you do that, and explain how to use it in a way that's a bit more nuanced than simply saying, "Don't suffer."

| 069 - What Dying Can Teach Us About Living (with Dr. BJ Miller) | 29 Aug 2024 | 01:05:02 | |
We're all going to die. (Gulp.) We know this—and we all share it—but death remains taboo, as do so many of its accompanying experiences: grief, suffering, vulnerability, and loss of mental and physical faculty. But by ignoring death, we not only deny ourselves the opportunity to have a good death; we also deny ourselves the chance at a better life! Because, as you’ll hear from today's guest, a palliative care doctor named BJ Miller, those who are close to death have a lot to teach us about what matters in life.

| 060 - The Coach Up: A Tool to Help with Prioritization | 29 Jul 2024 | 00:10:51 | |
When it comes to being productive, there’s nothing more important that prioritization. You don't just want to get things done; you want to get the right things done. Unfortunately, when life (and our to do list) gets overwhelming, we can resort to just getting through what’s loudest and latest, which means we ignore our important, long-term projects to tend to what’s urgent. That can keep us from getting to the tasks that actually move the needle. Today, we talk through an organizational tool called the Eisenhower Matrix that’ll help you give proper weight to each task on your to-do list and allow you to do more of what matters.

We live in a data-heavy age, rife with smart watches and fitness trackers.

Today, Brad explains what it is, how to use it, and how it can be applied outside of physical exercise to life more generally.
