  • Summary

  • In this episode, Dr. Bill Sullivan (our favourite award-winning professor, author and science superstar from the Indiana University School of Medicine), tells us about being evolutionarily equipped for predators and dangers that no longer exist, and what impact that kind of hypervigilance can have on our mind, body, emotions and in general terms, our health. We also chat about status hierarchy (it's been around for millennia) and our need to feel superior, important and valued. We learn that stoics and philosophers were talking (and teaching) about the human condition thousands of years before psychology was a thing. We discuss the concept of wealth being about much more than money and the connect (or disconnect) between the states of our external (physical) and internal (non-physical) worlds. And in one of my proudest TYP achievements, after dropping the F bomb around the very moral and articulate Dr. Bill a thousand times over numerous episodes, today he walked through the swearing door for the first time. I should be ashamed. I'm not.
