Oh yes, hello friends, welcome back. My guest today is Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology

podcast, psychologist at Columbia University and writer. Today we are talking about his

new book, Transcend, the new science of self-actualization. We all live in a world where there

are quantifiable metrics of success, these objective measures of happiness or wealth or

power or whatever it might be and some of us spend a lot of time chasing after them and

yet so many people feel unsatisfied and deeply unconnected to the world and those around them.

So why is that the case? How can we transcend our nature, become more than we are and maybe

more than we could ever hope to be as well? And today we get to go through some amazing

exercises from Scott. He has a beautifully calming voice. So if you're feeling a little

bit anxious at the moment with the state of the chaos that's going on outside, I'm confident

that Scott's calming dulcet tones are going to help you wind down. In other news, this

flights anytime soon. So that's out of the window. But first and foremost, it allows you

to change the location of where you are browsing from so that you can access other countries,

want to watch rushes and if you are anywhere else in the world, you can access America's

Netflix, which is an absolute treasure trove, especially seen as well lockdown at the moment,
