    • What is Apathy? How To Break Past It with Gratitude

      This week we go deep on all aspects of apathy, emotions and channeling these feelings in personal development. We explore the world of positive psychology and if it really is positive?

      Nick and Hari dive into their contrasting opinions and experiences around personal development and psychology. The podcast breaks down the value of negative feelings, like guilt, which can actually push us to better ourselves and avoid repeating mistakes, to the importance of balance in our hectic lives. We unpack how acknowledging the full range of our feelings can be more fulfilling than the societal push for perpetual positivity.

      This episode isn’t just about emotions; it’s a journey into gratitude, gut health, and self-development. We discuss the power of gratitude to shift our mindset and the ways in which our diets—like the impacts of gluten and dairy—can affect our overall well-being.
