Summary
Marketing professionals are increasingly recognizing the phenomenon of "bullspend," where ad campaigns may generate impressive metrics like impressions but fail to translate into tangible revenue. This disconnect prompts a call for marketers to focus on results that matter, rather than just superficial data. The discussion emphasizes the importance of measuring return on ad spend, particularly highlighting LinkedIn as a platform that delivers strong results for advertisers.
The conversation shifts to the emotional landscape of individuals grappling with feelings of guilt, paranoia, and irritability. These emotions often mask deeper anger that may not be immediately acknowledged. The hosts explore how childhood experiences shape one's ability to express anger, noting that many individuals are conditioned to suppress their feelings, leading to internalized anger and self-hatred. This suppression can manifest in various ways, including guilt and paranoia, ultimately affecting interpersonal relationships.
Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their emotional states, particularly when feeling low or irritable, and to consider whether unresolved anger towards someone might be at play. The discussion advocates for the healthy expression of anger, suggesting that it can be managed constructively without causing harm to oneself or others.
Show Notes
There’s a difficult mood we’re in danger of falling into that’s made up of four elements in particular: low spirits, guilt, paranoia and irritability. It’s in such a mood that we might step back and ask ourselves a distinctive question:
"Might I - at heart - be very angry with someone right now?"

“There’s a difficult mood we’re in danger of falling into that’s made up of four elements in particular: low spirits, guilt, paranoia and irritability. In such a mood, we may feel guilty and ashamed without being able to put a finger on anything concrete we’ve done. At the same time, we’re in a paranoid state of mind, as if people out there didn’t like us especially, or we were in imminent danger of being found out for doing something forbidden. And then we might feel non-specifically irritable – and get uncommonly grumpy when we can’t find a household item or the printer jams…”

Theoretically speaking, this should be so easy. We were all once kids. We know a great deal more than they do and – as far as they’re concerned – hold all the cards: if we felt like it, we could buy 26 packets of biscuits and go to bed whenever we wanted…”You can read more on this and other subjects here: https://goo.gl/9APsauMORE SCHOOL OF LIFEWatch more films on RELATIONSHIPS in our playlist: http://bit.ly/TSOLrelationshipsSOCIAL MEDIAFeel free to follow us at the links below:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theschooloflifelondon/ X: https://twitter.com/TheSchoolOfLife Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theschooloflifelondon/ CREDITSProduced in collaboration with: Martin Pickleshttp://martinpickles.com/ #TheSchoolOfLife Learn more about your ad choices.

Some of the reason why we choose such unsuitable partners in love is that we aren't trying to find someone who ideally suits us, we're looking out for someone who feels familiar. We recreate in adulthood patterns of attachment that we know from childhood - and thereby often perpetuate cycles of suffering and dissatisfaction.Uploaded 01-07-20FURTHER READING"Konrad Lorenz, who was born in 1903 and died in 1989, was an Austrian ornithologist and zoologist who spent most of his adult life in marshes and wetlands studying the behaviour of greylag geese and jackdaws. What particularly interested him was how these birds seem to develop an attachment to their mother from within a few minutes of their birth, following dutifully behind her and obeying her guidance in matters of sheltering and feeding..."MORE SCHOOL OF LIFEWatch more films on RELATIONSHIPS in our playlist: http://bit.ly/TSOLrelationshipsSOCIAL MEDIAFeel free to follow us at the links below:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theschooloflifelondon/ X: https://twitter.com/TheSchoolOfLife Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theschooloflifelondon/ CREDITSProduced in collaboration with:Elaine Song Title animation produced in collaboration withVale Productionshttps://www.valeproductions.co.uk/ Learn more about your ad choices.
