Ep. 122 - Self-Help with Special Guest Jesse Singal

In this episode, Steve interviews journalist, author, and
podcaster Jesse Singal to discuss, among other things, "fad
psychology," and the potential benefits of gorilla poses.


But first, Steve reveals the origins of the term "self-help" and
the disturbing true story behind the book "Who Moved My Cheese?"
Next, Scott gets into the surprisingly "revolutionary" origins of
the "self-care" movement and the current state of "self-care" in
the New Slang segment.


You can listen to Jesse and his co-host Katie Herzog weekly on
the "Blocked and Reported" podcast at your preferred podcast
provider.


Jesse's new book "The Quick Fix: Why Fad Psychology Can't Cure
Our Social Ills" is available now wherever books are sold.
