60. Two crucial tips to distinguish effective safety behaviors - playing-it-safe moves - from ineffective ones

This is a super special interview with one of my favorite
colleagues and author, Jonathan Kaplan, author of “Urban
Mindfulness.”


In this conversation we discussed:





One of Jonathan’s favorite mindfulness exercises: sending
warm wishes to people around you

Why playing-it-safe behaviors are natural

What is a playing-it-safe move

Two skills to distinguish effective playing-it-safe moves
from ineffective ones

How to handle uncertainty

How to handle ruling-thoughts about thinking (metacognitions)






In the middle of the conversation, you will hear me practicing
“how to say” one of my favorite words in English, and one of
Jonathan’s favorite jokes related to anxiety and playing-it-safe.
