Welcome to episode 467. It's a best of episode. This interview with Hank Adams was originally

0:11.0

recorded in 2011. It was I think the 27th episode that we'd ever done. And I just decided

0:17.6

to not edit anything out even though my life has changed drastically since this was recorded.

0:23.6

I make reference to my two dogs that are no longer alive. I talk about my wife because I was married

0:31.4

at the time. I don't know why I'm explaining all this. Just listen to the episode. But first

0:35.7

I want to tell you about a sponsor for this week better help.com. I talk about them every week.

0:40.9

I love it. I love not having to leave my house to do therapy. And if you've never tried

online therapy, I think you should check it out. Go to betterhelp.com slash mental. Make sure

0:53.1

you include the slash mental part so that they know you came from this podcast. And then

1:19.0

Hank Adams. And here it is. Welcome to episode 27 with my guest Hank Adams. I'm Paul

1:26.0

Gilmarten. This is the metal illness. Happy hour. And now we're honesty about all the battles

1:30.4

in our heads from medically diagnosed conditions to everyday compulsive negative thinking, feelings

1:35.9

of dissatisfaction, disconnection, inadequacy, and that vague sinking feeling that the world

1:44.3

is passing us by. You give us an hour. We'll give you a hot ladle of awkward and icky.

1:51.3

But first a couple of notes. I would like to thank Steve Greve who helps run the website.

1:59.3

Martin Willis, who is just an all around great guy, helps in multiple ways. I'd like to

2:07.2

thank the guys who helped keep the forum running and weed out the spammers. I'd like to thank

2:13.3

my wife Carla for always giving me great advice. The website for the show is mentalpod.com.
