Asymmetric Habits with Jonathan Pishner and Jerry Handley

After a brief 1-week hiatus for Jerry's honeymoon vacation, WE'RE BACK! This episode is part 1 of a 2-part series on RELATIONSHIPS, and focuses on why mutual agreements are so important! Practically all of us want those we love, particularly our significant others, to be on the same page with us throughout life. Whether big or small, it always helps to know that everyone agrees on choices...

Do any of these sound familiar? "My back hurts, but that's just part of being an adult." "My knee's hurt ever since that injury in high school, but it's all right - I manage." "My shoulder's been bugging me for a while, especially when I sleep at night, but it's nothing I can't handle." Here are two common threads: 1. Most of us have either exp...

We all know it's not in ANYONE's best interests to be angry all the time, or to be angered by a lot of different things. But have you ever stopped to think about the times ANGER is actually a positive, a fuel for you to do better things or make positive changes? Intense rivalries are often spurred by anger, and actually spur competitors on to greater heights... but is that anger a necessar...

Whether in a competition or not, "winning" is a common term in our society these days. It can refer to an athletic event of course, or a game, but it can also refer to a certain streak in life of positive events and momentum. Winning feels good, and as a result though can also be addictive, and this is when problems can arise. "Winning" may get in the way of healthy behaviors o...

On today's live broadcast of Asymmetric Habits, embracing automation! This one is a personal struggle of my own - while I typically make these changes at a snail's pace the benefits are usually much faster - smart automation can be that powerful, and the benefits can be mental, financial, or at least more time! ***** We hope this episode helps you or someone you know lead a happier, more s...

On today's talk Jonathan and I are discussing one of those weird human phenomenons - our ability to feel shame over little things we do even if they actually help us! Oftentimes the stories we tell ourselves that are ingrained from childhood, school, family, peers, friends, etc have us judging many things we do through the lens of what THEY think, or what we think we SHOULD BE doing or HOW we...

Work - one of the intrinsic parts about being in charge of our lives, is embracing work, what we put into it, and what we accept or get out of it. It's a big part of life. Some of us love it, some don't... But regardless of what you think about it, something we can ALL relate to... is letting work get the best of us! We keep wanting to do more, or feeling like we have to do more, or lettin...

Something in our brains has wired us to think that any time there's a problem, we should look to see what's missing that will fix it. 'Want to lose weight? Add a weight loss supplement or extra cardio.' 'Business not where you want it to be? Work more hours.' 'Feel like you need something to be happier? Buy a new car and upgrade your tv.' I'm sure those sound fa...

* Check out this classic episode from our pre-recorded Archives! * Almost all human beings think in terms of "stories". We learn through stories, we make stories in our heads about the world around us, and most importantly we think of our own life as a "story". This trick of the mind is why it's so important to create your own "Personal Legend", a term coined by P...
