I was interviewed for this given our work exploring how mental health advice skews towards telling people to do more rather than less nature.com/articles/s44271-0…. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine my research would be used as a critique of Chris Martin.

I wrote how this paper came together at the link below but the inspiration very much came from @Leidyklotz and his collaborators.

Eight experimental and naturalistic studies show that people (and chatbots) tend to give advice to improve mental health that involve us doing more (e.g., take up yoga) and they neglect solutions that involve doing less (e.g., quit junk food).

I input one of my papers into Google's NotebookLM to see how it performs. I gave it my meta-analysis into studies that examined autobiographical memory problems within people with psychiatric diagnoses. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3496…
And I was able to interrogate it a bit and probe specific details of the paper by chatting with Gemini.
The craziest part though was that I could generate a brief 'podcast' summary. It has a few problems (there's an audio artefact at the start) but if I'm being fair it's actually really good and provides a good lay summary of the paper. Listen here: notebooklm.google.com/notebo…

Another great analysis by @jburnmurdoch on the troubling increase in young people who are unemployed and claiming disability benefits predominantly because of mental health issues

Really interesting thread and article. Many men feel they have already been left behind and, for those accepting of 'male privilege', there is a feeling that they shouldn't talk about their problems because 'they have it so good', of course to the detriment of their mental health
