3 MINUTE MONDAY

Hi friend,

Below is a list of the Top 10 most played episodes on audio of 2024, in order.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, that epic Matthew McConaughey episode came in at #1, it’s still so so good.

It’s great to see such a range of topics performing well, I love how varied I can go with the show and everyone still enjoy it.

Anyway, all the links for Spotify and Apple Podcasts are below, go back and check some of these monsters out.

If you would like to get me a belated Christmas present, all I’d ask of you is to send some episodes you enjoyed most to a few friends that you think would enjoy them - it’s the best way the show grows!

And give Modern Wisdom a 5* Review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify 😇

A massive thank you to everyone that’s been sharing and supporting the show throughout this year, Spotify said Modern Wisdom is in the top 1% of all shows shared in 2024. The squad is strong.

Happy new year everyone. Enjoy the holidays!

MODERN WISDOM

I do a podcast where I pretend to have a British accent. You should subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
​

This week’s upcoming episodes:

Monday.
Dr Matthew Walker - one of the world’s best known sleep doctors gives his favourite hacks and ways to optimise rest & recovery.

Thursday.
Nick Pollard - The People Displeaser talks all things assertiveness, putting yourself first and how to stop trying to make everyone else happy. So so good.

Saturday.
Adam Grant - one of the best known psychologists on overcoming self-doubt, fear of failure, where confidence comes from and more.

THINGS I'VE LEARNED

1.
​Do voters discriminate against female candidates?

“A meta-analysis of 67 experiments covering 120,601 people from six continents found that, in general, the answer is no.

On the contrary, people often prefer female candidates to otherwise identical males.

Breaking the results down by sex, women were strongly biased in favor of female candidates, whereas men were just a little biased in favor of female candidates.

The authors note that “Our results add to the growing body of experimental and observational evidence that voter preferences are not a major factor explaining the persistently low rates of women in elected office.” — Steve Stewart-Williams

2.
​You don’t need butterflies in your stomach, you need someone who calms your nervous system.

“It’s funny how the warning signs can feel like they’re butterflies.” — Halsey

3.
​Pop psychology in a nutshell.

“If someone you like did something bad, it’s because they have Trauma.

If someone you dislike did something bad, it’s because they’re a Narcissist.

If someone disagrees with this, they’re Gaslighting.” — Gurwinder Bhogal

LIFE HACK

Some of the highest ROI resolutions I ever made:

No phone in the bedroom at night, charge it outside.

Read for 10 minutes a day.

No alcohol for 6 months.

Morning walk every day.

No caffeine within 90 minutes of waking or after 1pm.

Never miss a habit 2 days in a row.

Most of those are still with me.
​

Big love,
