This week I'm thrilled to have Melinda Wenner Moyer, Author of "How to Raise Kids Who Aren't Assholes" and science journalist, on the podcast. In this episode, Melinda and I explore the parent-child relationship and how applying immense pressure, and praising children for their success rather than hardwork can be detrimental to children's mental health, impacting their self-esteem and confidence. Melinda also shares her perspective on health and how its evolved over time, and what brings her a bit of joy and happiness in daily living.
