Hi, everyone. It's Dr. Nagra again. Our next episode, Psychology Unplugged. It's our first podcast of

2006, I think, which brings us into, I think the six year of doing this program. And what started

out was in a conversation with my father before he passed away.

I can't believe it's this many years later. And I appreciate your continued support and

interest in the program and keep emailing me and reaching out with topics and suggestions.

And I will do my best to get back to people.

I know there are several people waiting for me to respond and I will do my best,

but continue to reach out if I have not gotten back to you.

So today, it's this time of year.

I think people, we live under this, you know, it's New Year's and New Year's resolutions

and what am I going to change?

What am I going to do better?

What am I going to do more?

What am I going to do less of it?

So I wanted to focus this on self-help and personal growth, more from a psychological perspective,

because self-help, self-improvement is, I think, something that a lot of people read about,

and there are sections at Barnes & and noble that and titles for even

podcasts or just self-help and books and categories and i think everybody you know fundamentally

wants to grow everybody wants to to feel better to do better better, to just be better. But I think a lot of people

feel stuck in the same pattern year after year, the same anxiety, the same avoidance, the same

depression, the same self-doubt. And I don't think it's about laziness.

It's not lack of intelligence.
