Description

In this episode of The Lonely Chapter, I dive into 5 life-changing ideas I’ve been thinking about recently.

From psychology to philosophy, these concepts have made me pause, reflect, and shift how I see things.

I’ll explore:

  • The region beta paradox and why “not that bad” can be the most dangerous place to stay

  • The power of validating emotions in conversations

  • Identity vs. identify — and why letting go matters

  • The Buddhist parable of the second arrow

  • The hedonic treadmill and why success never feels like enough


Take a moment to reflect on these alongside me — and let me know which one resonates most with you.
