Absolutely powerful insights, thank you !

The habit book was very interesting. Really helped me identify habit. (doesn't make them much easier to break, but helps)

You're breathing annoyingly heavy into the mic Brett, just thought I'd let you know

how do I make a bookmark so I don't have to start over Everytime I pause the podcast?

Thunderstorm Rain Sounds for Sleep 2

Thor is a Norse god who wields a hammer, controls thunder and lightning and gets carted around in a chariot by a couple of magical goats. He's also a quippy, long-haired superhero hunk who stars in a series of children's movies. How does this make sense? This week we try to get to the bottom of just what is going on with this guy, but first we complain about going to the bank.

Listen to an excerpt of Betty Gilpin's All the Women in My Brain: And Other Concerns, read by the author.

A lightning-strike dispatch of hilarious, intimate, luminous essays from the brain of Emmy Award-nominated actress and writer Betty Gilpin.

Oh. Hi. *takes six long gulps of water during which you’re like, may I help you?*

My name is Betty. I have depression. I have passion. I have tits the size of printers. And also: I have a brain full of women.

There’s Blanche VonFuckery, Ingrid St. Rash, and a host of others—some cowering in sweatpants, some howling plans for revolution, and one, oh God, and one . . . slowly vomiting up a crow? Worried for her. These women take turns at the wheel. That’s why I feel like a million selves. With a raised eyebrow and a soul-scalpel, I’d like to tell you how I got this way. Because maybe you feel this way too.

Let’s hop from wild dissections of modern womanhood to boarding school musings to the glossy cringe of Hollywood. Let’s laugh at my failures and then quietly hope with me for the dream. Whether that dream is love or liberation or enough IMDB credits to taze the demon snapping at my ankles, we won’t know until the shit-fanning end.

As a dear friend said after listening to this audiobook, it’s “either a masterpiece, or it’s…completely…” and then she glazed over into a haunted stare. Listener? This audiobook is my opus and it is chaos.

If you’ve ever felt like you were more, or at least weirder, than the world expected—welcome to All the Women in My Brain.

All The Women In My Brain by Betty Gilpin, audiobook excerpt

We Will Trap You - Drill Type Beat

You want to be more productive. You want do more, in less time, so you can spend time doing the things you actually want to do. So we read articles and books on productivity, and have the best of intentions, but too often we just find ourselves spinning our wheels. You can't self-motivate to do the things you know you should be doing. If that describes you, you'll love this podcast. My guest today is Charles Duhigg. We had him on before to talk about The Power of Habit, and today we're talking about his new book, Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business. 

This isn't your standard self-help book. Rather than relying on old platitudes, Duhigg turns to science and real-world examples of motivation and productivity. We also get into the nitty gritty and give you solid tips on how you can improve your day-to-day life and work.
