60: Todd Kashdan | The Bright Truth about Your Dark Side - a podcast by Jordan Harbinger

Todd Kashdan (@toddkashdan) is a Professor of Psychology and Senior Scientist at the Center for the Advancement of Well-Being at George Mason University and co-author of The Upside of Your Dark Side: Why Being Your Whole Self -- Not Just Your "Good" Self -- Drives Success and Fulfillment.

What We Discuss with Todd Kashdan:

• Why trying to be positive and happy all the time may be harming your ability to get things done and achieve the results you want.


• How what you may think of as negative emotions -- like anger -- can be useful superpowers with the proper awareness and application.


• The problem with living in a time and place when distraction from discomfort comes in an easier and greater variety than ever before.


• Why every decision you make now is based on how you expect to feel in the future -- and you probably underestimate your ability to tolerate distress.


• How you can use the discomfort caveat to ease out of the "put on a happy face" rut around others.


• And much more...
