Summary

Fabrice and David address several challenging questions submitted by individuals who listen to the Feeling Good Podcasts.

  1. Richard: Do you have to get along with everybody? How do you deal with a sociopath?
  2. Dave: Positive distortions can trigger mania, addictions, narcissism, and violence--but how can you get rid of them?
  3. Julia: What can you do if you've been depressed all of your life and wake up every morning with your mind flooded with negative thoughts? I spend two hours trying to dispute them, but they just keep coming back the next day.
  4. Omhur: How would you treat "Reading OCD?" I feel compelled to read every sentence and paragraph carefully and repeatedly so I won't miss anything!
  5. Unnamed fan (who left a negative review on iTunes): Isn't your concept of the death of the ego potentially dangerous to people with low self-esteem who are being abused?
