The Atypical Man : Behavior\ Books \ Banter

There has been a debate over theological constructs since the beginning of time, and in some ways, we haven't moved the needle that much. What is being advocated in today's show is that that is ok, so long as we continue to have the conversation with each other and keep learning more about the world religions and spiritual modalities. Keeping an open mind is paramount in this endeavor, and if we can work on our abilities to do just that, we're going to learn a hell of a lot more about ourselves and each other. Welcome to the show!

It isn't every day that we're afforded an opportunity to see things in a new way, but what if you could? What would happen if we discovered a way to dissect almost any challenge and circumstance in our lives while it was up on the "operating table" and move through it with more grace and with more understanding? This is precisely what Lou Marinoff advocates in his book, Plato, Not Prozac! There is still much we can learn about the greatest thinkers and observers of our time...care to take a ride? Welcome to The Atypical Man!

Many of us have dealt with online trolls, posers, and bullies at one point or another in our lives. There are options that can be deployed in order to squash these people and send them packing, so long as we're willing to fight. All we have to do is not back down and keep pushing back when these people show up in our space. Welcome back, to The Atypical Man podcast! Enjoy the show!

Today's show centers around being the "go-to" person for others in our lives and whether or not it's a good idea for YOU to do so. Life doesn't always have easy answers and to be man or woman enough to help others find those answers can be a job in and of itself. We outline some ideas on how to do this, the pitfalls to avoid, and what being a "go-to" person actually means at home and at work. You're not gonna wanna miss this one! Welcome to the show!

For the 50th episode of The Atypical Man podcast, we decided to take a few minutes to remind our listeners that THEY are the ones in charge of their lives, and that although we all have moments of weakness and don't always make top shelf decisions, we can always call on the courage that lives inside each of us and remember that we're human. No life is more important than another and the more we learn about our own abilities, the stronger we'll be for ourselves and for others! Welcome to #50, fellow Atypicals! Thank you for being here and enjoy the show! 

Studying and learning a new technology is only the first step in understanding how it can and is being used out in the real world. When it comes to interpersonal relationships, showing someone that you care about them and their wellbeing is vastly different from simply telling them. Doing our best not to overpromise and under deliver can and will yield us something so much healthier and long term when it comes to the healthy relationships in our lives, but the choice is ours to make! Welcome to the show! 

On today's show, Caleb discusses the correlation between trust and confidence and how it can assist in us forgiving ourselves and in time, others. The trick is not to simply forgive others for their trespasses against us, but forgiving one's self for letting it take over their life, temporary or otherwise. That, and a whole lot more on today's episode of The Atypical Man! Welcome to the show!
