Your micromanager isn't a jerk, he's terrified, and the strategies your instincts are telling you to use will only make things worse. In this on-air session, a listener describes a new boss who demands daily itineraries, audits his expense reports over the weekend, and sends back his schedule with minutes allotted to every task. Dr. Lisle diagnoses the behavi...

Question we will try to get to: 1. Is the concept of self limiting beliefs the same as ego traps in evo psych? Why do these occur? 2. My boyfriend and I are very nice people (very agreeable). Frustrating and funny at the same time. We have a problem figuring out what we want, since our first reaction is to please other people. But because we are not alone in the world, what happens a lot is that our decisions are made by others... We decided to try to have a baby. There is simply so much written...

Listener questions we will try to get to for today: 1. For a successful first date, Dr. Lisle said the goal is to not get ruled out. I'm using online dating and it seems like every time that I've met a girl that meets my standards physically, we'll have a pretty good first date, but then when I try to set up another date I usually hear from them that they didn't feel a connection. Based on what you guys talk about in your podcast it leads me to believe that what they're saying is an inoffensive ...

Most people try to fix a conflict with a difficult parent by defending themselves better, explaining themselves more clearly, or finally landing the point that wins the argument. Dr. Lisle says that approach guarantees failure. When two people are locked in what he calls a vicious cycle, the only move that actually reverses it is the one that feels most counterintuitive. In this on-air clinical session, Olivia calls in about a deteriorating relationship with her disagreeable father, and Dr. Lisl...
