Hi, my name's Otis Grave and you're listening to Sleepy.

A podcast where I read old books, that'll be get to sleep.

It is almost Christmas time, so I have a wonderfully Christmassy reading for you tonight.

I'm going to start with my favorite authors, but before we get to the story,

a word from our sponsor, BetterHelp.

It's always been easy for me to dwell on problems instead of solutions,

especially around the holidays when we have the stress of seeing family and work being messed up.

When I would hit the pillow at night in the past, I would just start commiserating and

catastrophizing without really thinking about solutions to those problems.

It made me very restless and I know now it's because I just didn't have the tools to deal with it.

But after years of therapy, I feel that I know how to change my mindset and solve problems rather than

letting them torment me. And the relief of that has totally changed my life,

and all of it was only possible through going to therapy.

Well, BetterHelp is online therapy that offers video, phone, and even live chat only therapy sessions.

It's convenient, but affordable, and it works.

So when you want to become a better problem solver, therapy can get you there.
