Anxiety the Remix with Dr Eric Goodman
Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 5 Episode 58 of People Soup.P Soupers - what were you doing on 28 November 2020. I can tell you what I was doing in the late afternoon - I was chatting to Dr Eric Goodman - anxiety specialist and author - about his book - Your Anxiety Beast and You: A Compassionate Guide to Living in an Increasingly Anxious World - recorded in an echoey room in our rented apartment in Malaga. We're revisiting part two of that conversation today. Partly because Eric speaks about anxiety in such a human and relatable way, so it's useful for us all to check in with his wisdom. And also because Eric has written another book - called The Mindful Freak-out: A rescue manual for being at your best when life is at it's worst." And well be having him back on the show to talk about that book over the next couple of months.We start with my review, find out what the toughest animal on the planet is and talk about the human superpower of mental time travel. You also find out how we can teach our anxiety, which often has a better safe than sorry mentality. We finish with an insight in to the illustrations in the book - by dear and much missed friend of the show - Louise Gardner, your ACT Auntie. It's a joy to hear Eric reflect on the process of working with Lou.People Soup is an award winning podcast where we share evidence based behavioural science, in a way that’s practical, accessible and fun.

Perspectacles the Remix
Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 5, Episode 55 of People Soup, it's Ross McIntosh here.P Soupers - this week it's a cup a soup and a remix. I bring you a refreshed version of one of our most popular episodes from Season 4. I want to talk to you about perspective taking and how that relates to the world between our ears. I'm recording this new intro in Granada, Spain - I'm attending the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology and yesterday we presented some research and a glimpse into the workplace delivery. Now, if you could just try on these per spectacles please and read the bottom line of that chart over there.People Soup is an award winning podcast where we share evidence based behavioural science, in a way that’s practical, accessible and fun. We're all about sharing the ingredients for a better work life from behavioural science and beyond.There is a transcript for each episode. There is a caveat - this transcript is largely generated by Artificial Intelligence, I have corrected many errors but I won't have captured them all!
