Highly Functioning episodes

  • FRIENDS | Are Conversations Like Music?
    This week we talk about conversations and music. Specifically we explore why it is important to pay attention to people to the same extent and intent as you do music. This means you understand every aspect of what is being presented, including word choice and body language. And within the analogy, that the same way you pay attention to the instruments, melody and words of a song. We talk about where and how this applies, and which aspects are the most applicable.

  • AUTISM | Am I a Sociopath or Am I Just Autistic?
    This week we talk about the different traits of sociopathy, enlightenment and autism. We discuss the similarities and differences between these three ideas. Throughout the conversation we touch on free will, emotional maturity, the all or nothing nature that we think about acting, and how attributes can have positive or negative outcomes depending on how they are applied.

  • PRINCIPLES | Do I Think in Principles?
    This week we discuss the importance and benefits of thinking in principles. We talk about the difference between thinking in rules versus principles, why we are taught to use rules in shaping our worldview and how it can affect our wellbeing. An important point is the need to identify and challenge one's principles in order to cultivate an integrated and rational mind.

  • ADDICTION | How Can I Overcome It?
    This week we talk about addiction: our personal experiences, how we define it and how we find ourselves in an addiction. This includes addiction as an escape or as time filler. We also talk about personal ways to overcome addiction and the application of willpower in the process. Key points we don't think get enough attention are emphasizing your positive purpose and to forgive yourself during the process if you stumble.

  • HAPPINESS | Happiness Through Omission?

    In this #Episode of #HighlyFunctioning, we expand our understanding of happiness discussing how we define values to achieve a happy life, pursuing happiness through omission, micro motivations to identify tasks, accomplishing tasks with procedures that are satisfying, and reverse engineering the path to retirement. 


    A wide range of similarly related discussions involving happiness, we try to identify the most correct frameworks to implement into our lifestyles and live with accordingly.

  • DEPRESSION | How Do I Manage and Overcome It?

    Today's incredibly insightful and helpful episode focuses on #Depression, & the tools we can use to mitigate the impact it can have on our lives in the short AND long term.


    Anyone who has experienced depression on a small or large scale, internally or through proximity from others, should find some form of value from this video.


    Sometimes step one is simply talking about the issues that affect you, and not compartmentalizing. That being said, as depression is something that can waltz it's way into your life unexpectedly, in some cases because of genetics, or in Winston's situationally (through a car accident), it's always useful to be prepared by having the tools while not needing them, rather than vice versa.
