#161: He Wants To Transform Mental Health Globally - Leo Kösters, Founder Of beyond-you.net

January 22, 2024 • 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.

Episode Clarifications and Corrections

(00:03:26) - Correction: The individuals discussed are legally mandated to stay in a psychiatric hospital, not jail.
(00:32:40) - Clarification: "Now I am" should be "now I am not."
(00:38:40) - Amendment: The correct term is "first world," not "third world."
(00:39:40) - Fact Check: Nigeria's minimum wage is about 65 dollars per month.
