In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Erik Korem joins Dr. Paul Jenkins to get really practical about developing psychological flexibility. Negative thoughts have a way of manifesting so quickly we often don’t realize there’s a problem until it’s too late. And since negativity has never positioned someone for success, we need an antidote to these emotions that derail action. Enter cognitive restructuring: retraining your brain to mitigate destructive thoughts or behaviors by training yourself to be psychologically flexible. Erik breaks down how the trifecta of being present, embracing uncomfortable feelings, and taking deliberate action guided by our values not only makes us more optimistic, but puts us one step closer to the kind of person we want to be.

Patti DeNucci seems to be in the business of illuminating the obvious. When I read The Intentional Networker years ago, the lights went on for me about things I should have already known as a professional psychologist. Patti has done it again with More Than Just Talk. With all that can go wrong in communication, it is amazing that we can communicate at all. In this book, Patti illuminates communication as authentic human connection. Get past “the seductive mirage of social media,” as More Than Just Talk delivers practical, applicable, and psychologically sound principles of real conversation. Pick up clear scripts from becoming a better listener using the W.A.I.T. rule, to exit strategies when dealing with drainers and downers. Enjoy this conversation between Patti and Dr. Paul Jenkins at Live On Purpose Radio!
