Don't show emotion. To cry is to show weakness. Suppress your anger to prove your manhood. These are the kinds of messages sent by society to boys and young men. As a result, many are left with no healthy outlet for their emotions, which causes those emotions to build up over the course of years and years. But "anger is like a ticking time bomb," says Joseph Warren. It's bound to come out at some point, and when it does, it often does so in uncontrolled and damaging ways. Having experienced this himself, Warren has worked his way through a troubled childhood and past, and come out on the other side. And now, he's dedicated his life to helping other men do the same.

Why can it be so challenging to wake up in the morning? Based on an individual's circadian rhythms, exposure to morning light can make all the difference. Press play to learn: Why morning light is so important The best way to influence your circadian rhythm How sleep influences memory formation Offer: This episode is sponsored by Viome.

Check it out now: Viome Russell Foster, Head of the Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology, shares his research on how light regulates our lives as vertebrates. Our eyes' exposure to light has a special relationship with our sleeping and waking patterns. While initially thought to be an internal master clock, this is no longer considered to be true. Many factors can determine whether an individual is a night owl or an early bird. However, while everyone is unique, there are significant benefits to morning light exposure, and it can even help "reset" your circadian rhythm.
