Today on the show, Scott shares why the world of psychology doesn&#8217;t always offer the most useful explanations for why people can sometimes feel alienated from their own lives. We then talk about insights Scott has gleaned from science, nature, and lived experience as to the mindset shifts and habits that can help you stay sharp, steady, and engaged in life \u2014 whether you&#8217;re struggling with chronic depression, or just adrift in a low-grade funk.<\/p>\n<h3>Resources Related to the Podcast<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/articles\/leashing-the-black-dog-my-struggle-with-depression\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/articles\/leashing-the-black-dog-my-struggle-with-depression\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1775944588323000&amp;usg=AOvVaw28rjUqZ0mwgXCKVPuWvuPl\">AoM series on depression<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/health-fitness\/health\/podcast-741-the-exercise-prescription-for-depression-and-anxiety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/health-fitness\/health\/podcast-741-the-exercise-prescription-for-depression-and-anxiety\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1775944588323000&amp;usg=AOvVaw176mZk729x-vyknZfYJLmD\">AoM Podcast #741: The Exercise Prescription for Depression and Anxiety<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/health-fitness\/health\/how-to-hardwire-your-happiness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/health-fitness\/health\/how-to-hardwire-your-happiness\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1775944588323000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3dtT6dd0CxSfYOqENwyFYz\">AoM article and podcast on Rick Hanson&#8217;s method of &#8220;hardwiring happiness&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Connect With Scott Eilers<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drscotteilers.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.drscotteilers.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1775944588323000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1V9C9JRD31AEVLJnOTHymc\">Scott&#8217;s website<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@DrScottEilers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@DrScottEilers&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1775944588323000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2TfOfdWvmDs0lJvITSfU1d\">Scott&#8217;s YouTube channel<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dr.scott.eilers\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dr.scott.eilers\/?hl%3Den&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1775944588323000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1-iUirslZDggzHHZqFPI7-\">Scott on IG<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/p\/Dr-Scott-Eilers-100027408026502\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/p\/Dr-Scott-Eilers-100027408026502\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1775944588323000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3cyIN8OE07j4v4Aym6aD5g\">Scott on FB<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4mpB3wM\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-193296\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2026\/04\/91SbfbffWL._SL1500_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"485\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Listen to the Podcast!
