A W E Podcast | Your Brain Needs Silence But You Keep Scrolling — Here's Why
from A W E — And What Else · host Anthony & Sarah
On paper, Anthony and Sarah have almost nothing in common.By the end of this episode they put that to the test — a game of six degrees of separation to find out whether two people this different are really as far apart as they seem.But first, a question that may resonate with you: "What if the cruelest critic you'll ever meet, is the one in the mirror?"Anthony and Sarah return to the thread they couldn't finish last time — body dysmorphia, and the strange gap between how we see ourselves and how the people who love us see us. The conclusion they reach is quietly devastating: if we could borrow our loved ones' eyes for just a day, the self-esteem crisis might disappear overnight.Somewhere in between, they get into Rick Rubin's philosophy of creativity, the notion that the ideas arrive when you give your brain a "stimulation fast". AWE — And What Else?
