039 - How to avoid loneliness?
The question I would like to discuss with you today is "How to avoid loneliness?” Loneliness is a common experience, and I’m sure most of us have been there. Research shows that 80% of those under 18 years of age and 40% of adults over 65 years of age have been reported to feel lonely at a certain point of time, with levels of loneliness gradually diminishing through the middle adult years and increasing again in old age. I can’t even imagine how this number has probably progressed since the pandemic, with many people losing their relatives, friends, or other things that m...

038 - What are the best practices of consuming coffee daily?
The question I would like to discuss with you today is "What are the best practices of consuming coffee daily?” Well hello there, my fellow coffee addicts! Welcome to my favorite episode of Life for Experts ever! I drink coffee everyday, and for all of you who have the same habit, coffee has practically become a part of our lives. For us, everything about coffee is good - its taste, its aroma, its stimulant effect, and more others. But believe it or not, a long time ago coffee was once believed to be an inducer of cancer, which made it...

037 - Should we invest in property?
The question I would like to discuss with you today is "Should we invest in property?” Be honest with me and answer this question: how often do your parents advise you to invest in property as soon as possible? For me, the answer is always. The generation X and baby boomers see property as the best way to invest money in, both for the definite increase in long term value and also a sign of success and wealth. The millennials, not as much. With more and more types of investment instruments emerging in this digital age, the situation has of...

036 - How can I stop procrastinating?
The question I would like to discuss with you today is "How can I stop procrastinating?” Ah, the sweet problem of the modern world. I believe we are all aware of this issue, and how multiple sources and platforms are actually trying to get into the bottom of this. Well, it is true, more and more of us built the tendency to waste our time and procrastinate. According to a study from the University of Calgary, the proportion of us who chronically procrastinate has increased from 5% in 1978 to 26% in 2007. What a huge growth, right? What’s worse is that, the...

035 - When should I apologize?
The question I would like to discuss with you today is "When should I apologize?” Mistakes are bound to happen. And in every mistake, there is always at least one person to blame. Sorry, let me rephrase. In every mistake, there is always at least one person that causes it. Ideally, finding the root cause is the way to fix a mistake, but in reality, it is not that simple. Since feelings and ego are usually part of the equation, sometimes it is difficult to do so. Previous researchers had focused almost exclusively on the victim’s perspective, especially how...

034 - How can I even start forgiving someone?
The question I would like to discuss with you today is "How can I even start forgiving someone?” Despite the fact that forgiveness is an act of giving to another person, the heart of forgiveness is about our own self. Multiple research throughout the course of decades, has also come up with the same conclusion: forgiveness provides vital benefits to our mental and physical wellbeing, such as reduction in stress, depression, and increase in compassion and better yet, increase in immune response. So before we move on to the practical things we can do to start forgiving someone, ensure th...

The question I would like to discuss with you today is "How can I know if I’m wasting my time?” We all have 24 hours, spend it wisely. That is the popular saying which I believe we have heard at least a couple of times. It is true, though. No one has a special privilege when it comes to time. We all have the same amount and it is up to us how to spend it. That is why I think this episode's question might be one of the ultimate life questions, because what we choose will determine our path...

Our brain capacity is massive and we are blessed to be better equipped than most animals. We created civilizations, infrastructures, and orders in life such as law, ethics, culture, etc. Though we seem to have a lot of advantages on our side, everything always has its own disadvantages. Humans are increasingly becoming more and more complex, that it sparks a question of identity. Our freewill makes it easier for us to choose what ki...

The question I would like to discuss with you today is "Can I ask my parents to be less involved?” Let's face it, no matter how old and independent we are, parents will always see us as their child who knows less than them and needs to be protected. In most circumstances, they want to be involved in our life. And it is becoming more and more common. A study by Fingerman in 2017 shows that parents are considerably more involved with their grown children aged 18–34 than it was the case 40 years ago. Moreover, parents engage in more frequent contact, give...

The question I would like to discuss with you today is “How to avoid having unhealthy assumptions towards others?” Before we go on to the discussion, I would like to call out the fact that the word assumptions are widely deemed to have a negative stigma that comes with it. So, does it really? No, I don't think so. Assumptions are normal - in some way, it can be seen as one of humans survival mechanisms. For humans, knowledge is power. Assumptions happen during a lack of knowledge, simply our body's mechanism to create the illusion of power. So, assu...
