If our moods and actions and the best paths for us weren’t such a mystery? / Alas, we were tossed into this life left to grow and survive without much guidance other than the knowledge passed down before us from whichever random assortment of adults were tasked with our survival and schooling (people who are also very much struggling to figure things out btw). / This is the podcast where we take an evidence-based dive into topics that help build our internal skills and construct lives that feels fuller, more satisfying, and are led by our strengths and values. / The main site: softncentered@gmail.com / You can't manage the universe. So you'll have to learn to manage yourself. https://softncentered.com/falseepisodicnopodcastMastering the BasicsMastering the BasicsIt's been said time and time again for a reason... check out on this episode on the tried and true strategy on getting what you want.

There’s a lot of content and news out there and quite a bit is created to make you fearful or unproductively distracted or spend money on things that ultimately do not bring you closer to inner satisfaction or your highest goals. 

My goal here is to highlight writing and research that’s constructive, thoughtful, aims for the truth, and is designed to help us enjoy life, others, and meet the challenges we face in life more successfully.

In this episode, we dive into an article that reminds us to own our actions and decisions in life in the face of pressure (Learn Not to Explain Yourself to Others and Win by John Kreiter)
