A compendium of expert advice on handling all the complications — and pleasures — that the holiday season brings.

I have whipped up a holiday survival guide for you, a series of evidence-based strategies for navigating what can be a tricky time of year.

During the course of this episode, I'm going to talk about nine pain points, including navigating political differences around the dinner table, overeating, overwhelm, travel indignities, social anxiety, difficult family members, etc. I'm going to share with you a bunch of strategies pulled from ancient wisdom and modern science.

In this episode we talk about practical strategies for dealing with nine pain points of the holiday season:

  • The expectation of perfection
  • Overwhelm
  • Difficult family dynamics
  • Grief
  • Loneliness
  • Social anxiety
  • Overeating
  • Holiday travel
  • Financial worries
