While the culture's "solution" to anxiety is to avoid discomfort, avoidance only shrinks our world, not our anxiety. But by using courage we can expand our comfort zones—and our lives. To learn how, don't miss the full episode!

0:00.0	Welcome to bewildered. I'm Martha Beck here with Rowan Mangan. At this crazy moment in history,
0:09.2	a lot of people are feeling bewildered, but that actually may be a sign we're on track.
0:14.4	Human culture teaches us to come to consensus, but nature, our own true nature, helps us come
0:20.7	to our senses. Rowan and I believe that the best way to figure it all out is by going through
0:26.2	a wilderness into bewildered. That's why we're here. You know what I'm seeing out in the world is a
0:33.4	lot of fear and a growing amount of despair. Maybe you're feeling that way too, because the ways
0:41.2	our culture has taught us to navigate the world, to navigate our lives, they are failing us.
0:48.1	We need a new language. We need a new set of tools to find our way individually and as a group.

1:01.6	and the tools that I teach there are to help people redefine how we relate to each other,
1:07.9	how we make a living, how we do community. We can only change the world for the better if we redefine

1:49.6	well, you can tolerate your own wellness. Barely. How about you? Yeah, I'm good. I haven't had
1:56.5	enough sleep lately. I'm kidding. I don't know if I've mentioned it to you two or three times an hour
2:01.5	for the last week, but yeah, I've been a little insomnia, Jack. As you crawl from room to room,
2:07.4	it really has been bad. The one good thing, the one good thing about it is that complaining always
2:14.3	makes it better. There is nothing that complaining doesn't make better, right? Absolutely.
