One of Dr. John’s passions is emotions: How they are expressed; how to manage them; and how to recognize them in one’s self AND others. Did you ever see the Fox TV show Lie To Me? That show was 95% based on the science of Dr. Paul Ekman, who has been called the world’s best lie detector. Our guest this week, Dan Hill, studied extensively under Dr. Ekman. And the truth is written all over your face. Find out how you can improve at spotting liars in this episode.

Guest Bio:

How to ask for help from friends after divorce?

What is the masculine core and how do we lead from it?

How can men be less emotionally reactive in relationship?

GS Youngblood is the author of "The Masculine in Relationship". He coaches men in relationships on how to live, love, and lead from their Masculine core. He specializes in “nice guys” who are with strong women. His teachings combine deep embodiment work with the framework of the Masculine blueprint from his book.

His writings are filtered through the laboratory of his and his clients ’real-world, long term relationships (including the successes and spectacular failures) to see what actually works and what doesn’t. Through this lens of Masculine leadership, he also pulls in principles from a variety of fields: psychology, martial arts, tango, meditation, and tantra.

Today on The Evolved Caveman, a sobering yet incredibly important topic, that of suicide. This conversation may be triggering for some listeners. If you are actively considering suicide, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

Dr. Thomas Joiner is a world renowned expert on suicide and is the author of “Lonely at the Top: The High Cost of Men’s Success” and “Why People Die by Suicide.” He has spent much of his career trying to find out why people die of suicide. The desire for death is comprised of two psychological states. One is a perception of being a burden to others, and the other is a feeling of not feeling connected to a family or a relationship. Combined with a third aspect — an “acquired capacity” for suicide (a fearlessness for death)— the risk for suicide is increased.

Today, an important talk on depression and suicidality, particularly in light of a recent CDC report that came out August 14 of 2020 on a 40% surge in mental health challenges due to COVID; a conversation about the best ways to help men avoid lives of quiet desperation – feeling less than, isolation from others and addiction – through positive changes individually, in our culture and support services. If you are a man living with these challenges, or if you are worried about a man in your life, you must listen to this conversation.

Dr. Joiner is The Robert O. Lawton Distinguished Professor in the Department of Psychology at Florida State University (FSU), Tallahassee, Florida. Dr. Joiner’s work is on the psychology, neurobiology, and treatment of suicidal behavior and related conditions. Author of over 600 peer-reviewed publications, Dr. Joiner was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship and the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Residency Fellowship. The Lawton Professorship, which Dr. Joiner received in 2010, is FSU’s single highest honor. He was a consultant to NASA’s Human Research Program, and is the Director, with Pete Gutierrez, Ph.D., of the DoD-funded Military Suicide Research Consortium, a ten-year $70 million project. Largely in connection with Why People Die by Suicide, he has made numerous radio, print, and television appearances, including articles in The Wall Street Journal, a radio interview on NPR’s Talk of the Nation, and two appearances on the Dr. Phil Show. He runs a part-time clinical and consulting practice specializing in suicidal behavior.

Thomas Joiner’s Books:
• Why People Die by Suicide
• Myths about Suicide
• Lonely at the Top: The High Cost of Men’s Success
• The Perversion of Virtue: Understanding Murder-Suicide

What do you look like at your very best?

You were in Swedish special forces. How does one survive in terms of mindset in the special forces?

Survival. Care about others. Self-car. Servant leadership, Discipline.

One of the things that fascinates me with military training is how you can program your mind. You mentioned training yourself to take in info and recall faces. Tell me more about that.

How about staying calm under fire?

What goes into that?

What habits are involved?

Let's talk about the mindset around stress and how to perform best under stress.

In the Swedish special forces, you were known as the "Smiling Lieutenant". Why was that that the way in which you led your men?

What is your definition of success? Happiness?

What were some experiences you had where you learned what is means to be a man?

Who were/are your male role models?

What does it mean to be successful in a romantic relationship?

What pieces of masculinity are effective and which are now? What is your best tool to help men evolve that you can share with listeners?

Join Dr. John for an arousing and revealing talk about how
men can be the successful AND happy in the areas of sex
and relationships. Unfortunately, it’s likely that more
women than men will listen to this because most men
have been socialized to act as if they know it all and to
never ask for help. This is concerning as one study by sex
researcher Melanie Curtin shows that sexually
experienced women (20 partners or more) report 90% of
their male lovers are simply not good in bed. Well, you
know what they say, you can lead a horse to water…!
Topics in this episode include…
How do we begin re-creating romance in a long-term
relationship?
How men can arouse and excite their partners
during the day (in anticipation of sex that night) by
tapping into women’s biggest sex organ - the brain.
How do men get better in the bedroom?
What does it mean to be successful in a romantic
relationship?
