In this episode, Sukh shares some thinking on how we're getting praise and appreciation wrong. We are conditioned to think that we don't deserve to hear praise and appreciation regularly, and it's only meant to be given infrequently. There's a lot of misconception about praise and appreciation, as well as little development in how to give praise and appreciation in good regular ways.

In this short episode, Sukh discusses how we're allowed to give ourselves permission to plan for good things that are healthy and fulfilling for us. We might normally call this self-care, and it's a good antidote for all the regular hard stuff we hear in the news, and through social media.

In this episode, Sukh talks about apologies, shame and guilt. He explores how we have many missed opportunities to be empathetic, and as a result we can't share our vulnerabilities with others. He discusses the impact of social media on our ability to be empathetic, and instead we have to be right. As a result of being right, when something is sharing something we often have to balance a sense of being right vs valuing the other person for who they are and what they're saying. He ends by discussing how apologising should be about expressing shame and guilt, but shouldn't be laden with self-loathing language or about blaming others.

In this episode, Sukh reviews the best-selling book Sapiens by author and historian Yuval Noah Harari.
The book is a dispassionate and relentless look at human history through the lens of three significant events for the development of Homo Sapiens as a species - 1. The Cognitive Revolution 2. The Agricultural Revolution and 3. The Scientific Revolution.
It's not an easy book to consume, because it is challenging to what we think we know of human history, and forces you to examine your own insights.
You can buy the book from Amazon here.

In this episode, Sukh welcomes back guest Gemma Dale. They discuss the problem of calling this working from home, when the reality is we wouldn't choose to work from home under these circumstances - no social connections, no meetings in-person, having to homeschool if you're a parent or care for those in need.
They talk about the challenges of exiting lockdown without a clear plan of what a new working model will look like, and how there's opportunity to really seek out and explore what the workforce needs and wants, and balancing that with the needs of the organisation.
They also talk about the impact of lockdown on mental health and how we won't really know the impact for months (or maybe longer) due to lockdown causing people to experience trauma.

Sukh discusses one of the unexpected things to arise from the situation with Covid which is the personal spotlight on the discomfort people have in being with their own thoughts, and the impact this has on our personal thinking capacity and capability.
Sukh also explores how we've been reliant on others, and how this may have reduced our capability to understand our own resilience and what we can survive.
He also presents a focus to allow people to recognise that just by living through the last 10 months, we have displayed for ourselves exactly what kind of resilience we have and the strength we've needed to get through.

After a 3 month hiatus, Sukh returns to 3 Good Podcast to talk about happiness.
He talks about how we are asking the wrong questions when it comes to being happy. There are a range of things which influence if we feel happy or not: how we express our emotions, the language we use for appreciation, what kind of meaningful things we're doing, the impact of money, and the quality of our relationships we have.

Sukh takes time at the beginning of the episode to discuss his self-care routine in the face of COVID-19. He shares how for the first few weeks of working from home he was almost paralysed by doing very little for his self-care, and then took time to examine what he could do.
The main part of the episode is a book review of Grit by Angela Duckworth. The book answers the question, is talent enough for success to take place? Angela's research is fascinating and raises important insight into what enables success. Spoiler alert, talent alone isn't enough. The book's subtitle, The Power of Passion and Perseverance, gives an indication of what the book covers.
You can buy the book from Amazon here.

In this episode, Sukh starts by addressing some myths about positive psychology:
- That if you cultivate positivity it means dismissing or not feeling negative emotions
- That if you are facing a physical health or mental health condition and aren't thinking positively, then you're causing your own problems
- That if you're feeling a 'negative' emotion, you can control it
He also talks about how to build positivity by paying attention to certain types of activity, and making them a more regular part of our daily habits.
