Sanity Self-Help
The next installation in our School of Life philosophical self-help series applies "best practices" from neuroscience and psychotherapy to help us gain mastery over our subconscious processes, through exercises and explanations. Philippa Perry, a psychotherapist and the author of How To Stay Sane (Picador, 2012), explains, well, how to stay sane and offers advice to listeners.Â
.@Philippa_Perry defines sanity as having enough structure in chaos + enough flexibility in rigidity. "Stay grounded yet go with the flow."

Our guest @Philippa_Perry says we too often - and too quickly - define "insanity." Give us a YOUR definition of "sanity." 212-433-9692.

@BrianLehrer I always say the different between sanity and insanity is the sane know they are insane

Caller Steve says sanity is a stable reference point by which to align the confusions of day to day life + a tolerance for those confusions.
