Pick up my new book Happy Chemicals: A Neurotic Memoir at http://www.bit.ly/happychemicalsbook

This is a book about a person writing a book and the challenges that come with writing a book. I guess it's also about a person trying to better understand themselves by outputting their inner dialogue into a book to try and better understand the parts of themselves. It's a neurotic memoir because it's about letting loose and seeing what the brain truly comes up with, complains about, notices, figures out, makes absurd, wants to dismiss, and wants to hide. This book is about bringing all of those thoughts, even the scary ones, up to the surface to bounce them around a bit and make some sense out of it or better yet, nonsense.

I'm in a place where I'm learning that I've ignored the helpfulness of Extraverted Thinking in my life. I've played more of a lone wolf role, rejected hierarchical structures, refused to play office politics, and have had difficulties in building a team. I've never liked feeling like I'm a human resource but I've also treated myself like one. In this episode, I share this relationship to hierarchy, and extraverted thinking, and talk about what it would mean to build my own Starship Enterprise.

Today I want to share some of my thoughts on recent revelations around my relationship to helping and being helped. Namely, a better use of Extraverted Thinking (Te) is required in my life to begin a process of outsourcing and talent-scouting with some of the ambitious projects I and my clients want to take on. I'm reaching certain limits of what I can handle and it's affecting my health, relationships, use of time, and money. So, this is the beginning of a major adjustment for me. 

What about you? What's your relationship to help?

Today on the podcast we're talking about the drama triangle and empowerment dynamic. I've heard the phrase "my villain era" over and over but is that a healthy way to integrate assertiveness? I share some of my story around my villain era, being a goth kid, and adjustments I'm making.

There's a great idealism and Identity crash coming for millennials. The major battle to change the world will be met with a stark reality that we can't change everything and everyone. Millennials have been fed this idea that we can should be anything we want, which isn't going to work out. But even so, we can get started now in moving towards acceptance on a personal level to have a greater actual impact on our and other's lives.
