It would be cool if we had a self-improvement comm.

As leftists, we understand that a lot of individual problems are caused by systemic issues. However, I think that there is still a lot that can be done on the individual level to improve your life.

Most online self-improvement spaces have a reactionary slant and are dominated by the same type of guy, which is another great reason to have a self-improvement comm on this website.

EDIT: our awesome admins created the new comm and our awesome comrade @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net stepped up to moderate it, please check it out and start posting: https://hexbear.net/c/self_improvement

Are there any improovers here? What would you like to improve in 2024? Would you like to have a comm where we can hang out? solidarity

      I’m a huge podcast enjoyer, here are some recommendations:

      Huberman Lab - the host is a neuroscientist and professor at Stanford. This is my favourite episode, it has a lot of actionable advice

      The Tim Ferris Show - the guy interviews successful people from all fields. There are a lot of episodes so you can choose the guests which you like

      10% Happier - this one is focused on stuff like meditation, mindfulness, mental health and Buddhism. My favourite episode is with the autor of Atomic Habits

      The Art of Manliness - the title is a bit cringe but it’s a good podcast and there is no toxic masculinity

      Life Kit - a podcast by NPR on how to do stuff

      The Psychology Podcast - different topics from psychology but it’s not too dry because every episode is an interview of a different guest

      It’s Not Just In Your Head - how mental health problems are caused by living in hellworld

      Wrestling With Depression - open conversations with people going thru stuff, except a lot of them are comedians so it’s funny as well

      Overdue - podcast about books. The hosts are very nice and have decent politics

      The Antifada - my favourite leftist podcast
