Episode 161

#161: Leo Kösters is the founder of beyond-you.net, a psychology student and social scientist.

In our busy world today, people don't talk much about mental health. It's often misunderstood and judged wrongly, even though we know a lot more about the mind and brain now. So, how can we then improve mental health in the population? How can we include third-world countries in that endeavor?  

Expect to learn how Leo wants to improve mental health worldwide, 3 lessons from his ADHD journey, the connection between ADHD and unconventionality, three books that have greatly influenced his life, his favorite failure from the past, and much more.
