  Ted audio collective, you're listening to how to be a better human.

• 00:10

  I'm your host, Chris Duffy.

• 00:12

  On today's episode, we're going to be talking about ways to recognize and change the voice inside your head and to let you in on the voice that lives inside my head.

• 00:20

  Mine is a guy who sometimes is very fun and notices hilarious things that other people have overlooked.

• 00:25

  And other times, my guy gets extremely focused on a tiny thing that is not going perfectly and then spirals that into a giant catastrophe that is completely overwhelming.

• 00:36

  For example, a coworker didnt use an exclamation point in a reply to my text.

• 00:40

  That probably means that hes furious at me, and that definitely means that I am about to get fired.

• 00:45

  I cant find my wallet.

• 00:46

  Well, that probably means that its gotten stolen.

• 00:48

  My credit cards are already maxed out, and my identity is currently being sold for bitcoin on the dark web.

• 00:54

  You know, saying these things out loud, it's obvious to me how ridiculous they are.

• 00:59

  But at the same time, when I am in the moment and I am feeling those things and I'm thinking them, it can be really hard to see that they are ridiculous or to have any perspective at all.

• 01:07

  Today's guest, Dan Harris, thinks a lot about ways to get some perspective and how to disrupt those thought cycles that can really torment us.

• 01:15

  Dan is also one of the funniest and most refreshingly skeptical people that I have ever met.

• 01:20

  I am so excited for you to hear from him today.

• 01:22

  Here's a clip from his TED talk.

• 01:24

  I should give you a little background on me.

• 01:26

  I used to be an anchorman.

• 01:28

  I worked at ABC News for 21 years.

• 01:31

  It was a very stressful job.
