Dating While Neurotic

from Interfering Neurotic · host Ash King

It’s a jungle out there for functional neurotics looking for love. Dating demands you bring your best self to the table, but what truths do we disguise in our effort to make ourselves more appealing and palatable to others? Coming up, we explore: What it means to be passionate and intense when men want laid back and easy going Going with your gut when a dynamic doesn’t feel right Why it feels risky to put your big-feelings on display too soon And why it’s alright to be an acquired taste —— Show notes: We love hearing from you!

Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't Tony Santore Why do some plants grow where they do? How can geology cause new plant species to evolve? Why are some plants pollinated by flies, some by bats, some by birds, and others by bees? How does a plant evolve to look like a rock? How can destroying lawns soothe the soul? This is a show about plants and plant habitat through the lens of natural selection and ecology, with a side of neurotic ranting, light humor, occasional profanity, & the perpetual search for the filthiest taqueria bathroom. The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoyevsky Loyal Books The extraordinary child-adult Prince Myshkin, confined for several years in a Swiss sanatorium suffering from severe epilepsy, returns to Russia to claim his inheritance and to find a place in healthy human society.The teeming St Petersburg community he enters is far from receptive to an innocent like himself, despite some early successes and relentless pursuit by grotesque fortune-hunters. His naive gaucheries give rise to extreme reactions among his new acquaintance, ranging from anguished protectiveness to mockery and contempt.But even before reaching the city, during the memorable train journey that opens the novel, he has encountered the demonic Rogozhin, the son of a wealthy merchant – who is in thrall to the equally doomed Nastasia Filippovna: beautiful, capricious and destructively neurotic, she joins with the two weirdly contrasted men in a spiralling dance of death… The Overexamined Life Jonah Primo The world's best philosophers and scientists on how to be happy. PhDs, bestselling books, or 17 years of silence in a cave... we don't discriminate. All we know, is that we want to experience life for all its beautiful richness, so we've tracked down the A-listers in the art of doing exactly that.

I'm an overexaminer. Why, when scubadiving in the Great Barrier Reef, instead of drinking in the marine wonders, am I just replaying that time I was picked last in P.E. basketball? Why, at a close friend's weddin
