My co-host Paulina Slivkova (UX/UI designer) and I chatted with Arash about understanding the mental health of creatives. How we create ideas and explanations to help anxieties and fears, and when it becomes hurtful. We also talk about mental illness, how fear can make creative people rigid but also provide motivation, and how new technology such as VR and AR can help via exposure therapy. Check out his book Afraid: Understanding the Purpose of Fear and Harnessing the Power of Anxiety.
