New week, new episode of North America’s favourite podcast about shame, doubt, and regret. ;)

attentionsurpluspodcast:

This is as close as you’ll get to New Year’s resolutions from us: Eric talks about how he came to write a self-critical personal manifesto for 2012, and Sean offers his theory of a “threshold of distasteful actions” as one of the roots of procrastination.

Next week, we dig into Eric’s manifesto.

It’s easy to judge ourselves by what we haven’t finished or aren’t getting done. What if we were to look instead at all the things we have accomplished?

Plus: how and when to say no, and the return of Junk Sean.

Announcing our first contest! Leave a comment and guess the name of our special guest (who will join us for next week’s episode) and win not one but three signed photo prints – one each from Sean, Eric and our mystery guest!
