After his chat with Jodi on Wednesday, Osher was reminded about his experience with a fascinating way to develop theory of mind: The Three Chairs Technique.

Three chairs and the truth - a technique to see things from another perspective

Are you someone who is in a relationship with a person that has a different brain? A husband, your wife, one of your siblings, a parent - or even one of your kids. Today Osher's guest is Jodi Rodgers. Through her work on the fabulous TV series “Love on the spectrum”, Jodi turned the spotlight onto the humanity, longing for connection and need for intimacy in all of us by exploring what those things mean for neurodivergent people. This episode is wall-to wall-with tools, techniques, advice - and a heap of validation.

Whoever said curiosity killed the cat probably just wanted to control cats.

Burpees. You hate them I hate them Why?  Because they are pretty much the best whole-body exercise you can do in a confined space.  If you had to pick on exercise to do for the rest of your life, bang-for-buck - it's probably the burpee.
But what about keeping your mind fit? In this episode Osher offers up a technique to train the observing mind to get more involved, more often. It's simple to learn, and can have profound impacts on how we react to things.

Burpees for the brain. This is the most impactful exercise I use to improve my mental fitness.

How many people are in your village? It might sound like a silly question - as not many of us live in villages anymore, yet for the vast majority of our evolution - we lived in communities that we depended on for support and care, and communities that depended on us. Community-driven purpose was baked into our way of living and as our brains and bodies evolved expecting these things. Without that support or purpose, things can get out of balance. Osher is joined by broadcaster and the founder of Gotcha4Life, Gus Worland. He has dedicated his career to helping people, mostly men - actively work on building that village. He never intended to do it, however when he got the call, Gus went all in. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
