In episode 528 I chat with Jeff Bell, a past guest of the podcast. Jeff is a long time OCD advocate and is the author of “When in doubt, make belief” and “rewind, replay, repeat”. Jeff co-founded adversity to advocacy.
We get a recap of his OCD story, the idea of greater good motivation, lessons OCD has taught him that helps him deal with other conditions such as his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis, we discuss stoicism, advocacy and service, and much more. Hope it helps.
