#113. The Danger of Cognitive Rigidity, Why Social Media Is Like Gambling, and The Truth Behind Higher Education Cost & Suicide - Dr. David Rudd

Do you know why social media is like gambling? Why is college tuition skyrocketing every year? Do you struggle with superficial relationships in 2022? How can we prevent suicide more effectively?

This week’s guest is Dr. David Rudd, Ph.D. David is the former president of the University of Memphis, a distinguished university professor of psychology, and the co-founder of the National Center for Veterans Studies at the University of Utah and the University of Memphis.

David’s CV is about 79 pages long given his long tenure as a licensed psychologist and a distinguished academic with over 15,000 citations. PubMed algorithms identified David’s work as the top 1% of all scholars publishing about suicide over the past decade.

Expect to learn about the cutting-edge suicide prevention handbook by the expert, David’s impressive journey of becoming president of a large university, the untold reality of being an academic, why mental health underlies everything we do, and much more.
