#232: The Random Episode 4 with Paul Dermody (Life On Autopilot, Handling Self Employment Fear, How To Choose Your Friends and More)
Similar to the other random episodes I've recorded with Paul, I have no idea how this episode will go down as it's another 'fly on the wall' conversation where we pressed record and just talked. This goes in a million different directions (as do all of our private talks) so I hope you enjoy the lack of structure/conversational style for today's episode. Here are some of the topics we covered today. How to choose your suffering to deal with anxiety or environmental depression Picking friends by design and not by default Living life on autopilot and catching the unsupportive habits and stories Why being self-employed or starting your own business is safer than working a 'real job' The paradox of choice when it comes to food and dating apps. The problem with lying and constantly comparing yourself to others Setting your standards high by asking what would your 'target' self do?
