What can we learn about stress and anxiety from one of the world's most notorious killers?
If you missed episode #202 with Michael Caparrelli, here is a bonus recap with Adrian Gostick & Chester Elton.
Key Highlights: 📌 profound insights into stress, anxiety, and human behavior through the lens of his extensive interviews with David Berkowitz, also known as the Son of Sam. Here are three to four key takeaways from the discussion:

  • Isolation as a Major Stress Factor: conversations with Berkowitz highlighted isolation as a significant contributor to stress and anxiety. Despite having interactions with others, Berkowitz felt isolated, which exacerbated his stress levels. This isolation, coupled with an inability to form meaningful relationships, can lead to increased aggression and decreased empathy.
  • Impact of Early Childhood Experiences: the interview delves into how Berkowitz's early childhood experiences, including his adoption and lack of proper socialization, shaped his attachment style and contributed to his feelings of being an outsider.
  • The Role of Faith and Routine in Managing Stress: personal practices for maintaining mental health, emphasizing the importance of faith, routine, meditation, community, and writing.
  • Lessons for the Workplace and Personal Life: The conversation suggests that understanding and addressing the root causes of stress and isolation can have profound implications not only for preventing extreme outcomes like those of Berkowitz but also for improving mental health in the workplace and personal life.

We encourage you to listen to the full episode and as always, we hope the time you spend with us will help remove the stigma of anxiety and mental health in the workplace and your personal life.
