In our search for important answers about how life works, or how our emotions can be better regulated, we are likely to fall prey to the misplaced arguments that many have adopted as truths about themselves.

Many have made bold claims about how science explains the brain’s impact on mental health, but almost always, they fail to emphasise that such claims are purely theoretical and have no physical evidence to back it up.

In this episode, I offer science-based research that confirms that most theories about mental health are baseless or downright problematic. This is critically important in our search for balance and peace because if we get our point of departure wrong, we’ll be searching for answers in all the wrong places.

When that happens, we’ll rely on the credentials of the ones making the claims and force ourselves to find resonance between our lived experiences and their theoretical conclusions that create more problems than the solutions that they claim to offer.

If you find my views erroneous, or maybe even reckless, please challenge me in the comments. I’d love to hear what you think.
