In this episode we talk about the affects of loneliness and social isolation. We also get to hear the background noise of drilling and hammering at various points of the recording (I did my best to reduce the impact of this). But we also discuss the treatment that is available for those suffering from loneliness and isolation. Chris does a good job of trying to convince himself that treatment wouldn't work on him.

In this episode we discuss a rather heavy topic. So to keep it short: If you need immediate support, you can contact the National Domestic Abuse Helpline at 0808 2000 247 or visit Refuge.org.uk. You are not alone.

In this episode we discuss the various ways that we compare ourselves to each other, those with more hair, those with bulging muscles and more.

We also discuss how to stop comparing yourselves to others and talk about ways where comparing ourselves to others can be helpful.

In this episode we help you understand the best ways to enter snooze town. We discuss the best habits to develop to go to sleep, why we sleep, what sleep means and if dolphins can sleep!
