In this conversation, Josh Button interviews psychologist Faust Ruggiero, who discusses the significance of self-talk and inner dialogue in mental health. Ruggiero emphasizes the importance of recognizing and managing our inner dialogue, particularly in the context of emotions, competition, and modern life challenges. He explores how technology, dependency on medications, and societal pressures influence our mental well-being. Ruggiero advocates for a balanced approach to mental health, focusing on lifestyle changes and conscious thought processes rather than quick fixes. He also addresses the impact of authority and propaganda on public perception and behavior, urging listeners to critically evaluate the information they consume.
