Believe it or not, you have much more in common with people with vastly different opinions of the world than you have in contrast. People with extremist or distorted beliefs often start with reasonable needs, just as you may have. Here, I explain how a person can change from having a valid concern about the world to believing ideas with dangerous consequences.

Why do people struggle with the concept of letting others act as they wish as long as they aren't causing harm? Here's a brief philosophical experiment on this topic.

Does it really matter what words mean? Whether you know it or not, whether you like it or not, much of your thinking is dictated by the meanings of words which we accept. In this episode, I explain the real consequences of defining words and why it involves such a difficult balance.

We undoubtedly live in troubled economic times, and people are still suffering despite their best efforts to survive financially. But the economy's problems don't mean we can't take responsibility for our spending, which unfortunately I've found is a problem for many. Here, I discuss how we can best address this.

In this episode, I change themes and discuss a topic which affects most of us: digital data. The fact is that most people I've met don't have a sound plan for backup of their data, which seems to be because these principles aren't taught. Here, I discuss the key principles which everyone should know as an absolute minimum. But don't stop here; once you know the basics, seek professional advice for a plan that suits your needs.

Any endeavour in life can be done well or not so well, and being a counsellor is no exception. Here, I discuss some of the fallacies both from inside and outside of the helping professions which need to be corrected.

What is it about large organisations that has us in constant agitation? While I'm very much in favour of enterprise, we need to think carefully about business practices.

In this episode, I explain what collectivist and individualist cultures are, and how describing a society may not be so simple as referring to one or the other.

About Your Listener
From the publisher's feed
John Cuturilo, the counsellor of Your Listener Counselling in Melbourne, Australia, is the host of the Your Listener podcast. Discussing psychological topics including mental health, critical…
thinking, and social matters, he presents unique insights. Rather than lecturing coercively on what to believe, filling his discussions with provocative language or quotes from famous people, or political rhetoric, John explains how our minds work and the impact of this on how we operate individually and socially. He often helps his audience to realise that what we assume are truths are often ideas resulting from errors in thinking — to which all of us may fall subject. Through this, John encourages critical thinking, accepting responsibility for our flaws, the separation of criticising ideas from judging people, exercising our minds, and finding ways to live in harmony with and learn from each other rather than avoiding those who think differently. He also believes in helping his audience to develop more detailed, complex knowledge, rather than overly simplifying concepts to the extent that they become empty slogans. He maintains that while the quest for truth may never be completed, we should still strive to learn of it as only by doing this will we be the most independent and astute possible thinkers.
If you have an idea for an episode, or would like to appear as a guest or collaborate, contact John to introduce yourself! John welcomes people of a broad range of backgrounds for discussion. John especially values the opportunity to discuss perspectives which differ from his.
