This is my absolute favorite podcast! The guests are always interesting and very knowledgeable in their fields. Dr. Kaufman is a fantastic host! I began listening because some episodes were relevant to my field of study, but I soon found that every episode includes stimulating content relevant to daily life. I've been a religious listener ever since and look forward to each new episode. If you enjoy psychology, this is the podcast for you!

It's uplifting and mind-expanding but academic at the same time! I crave this podcast when I haven't listened in a long time. Also, I seriously think about volunteering or working for a positive psychology research team because of this podcast...

The guy doesn't ever seem genuinely engaged with his guests - this is more a self-showcase/competition in these annoying little ways that make me think he doesn't really get any of it.

Love this podcast

I'm a therapist who likes to keep informed about current psychology research. This podcast is a wonderful start to my days. It sparks my creativity for topics to bring to my clients and avenues to start looking into personally.
Very easy to listen to and some phenomenal guests on the show (Roy Baumiester)?! I was so excited. Keep up the great work!

Good stuff

I’ve listened to Michael Gervais’ episode on Finding Mastery a few times, the concepts he goes over are endlessly fascinating to me.

Love your podcast as a Jungian psychotherapist myself. Had to let you know the episode with Dan Siegel was awful- he literally has zero self awareness and just goes on and on and it was difficult to listen to as he didn't let you get a word in. I've also completed Vipassana 10 day silent meditation and I'm surprised he has as well as he seems so not mindful! Sorry for the negativity, had to share. Love the podcast besides that!

If you are a psychologist or if you are familiar with the latest psychology's theories, trends and controversies, then this podcast is for you. It is like listening in on a conversation between two great psychologists, the host and the guest. From this perspective, 5 stars.
If, however, you want to learn more about psychology, this is not for you. Technical terms or theories are thrown about without any explanation for the general audience, and often the discussion is about technicalities with no context provided; and at times the host seems to be most concerned about ingratiating the guest than in informing the listeners. From this perspective, one star.

He decided to get political on twitter, and that made me end listening.
Thank You, I found really good replacements.

I'm a bit obsessed with self-improvement and educating myself, so I listen to a lot of podcasts... While I run, when I drive, at work....
This is a personal favorite. I feel like most every episode is packed with insightful information and it's delivered in a fun and personal tone. Keep up the good work!

Bad Laugh

The host has one of the worst laughs I've ever heard. He lets it out when there's nothing funny. He's just uncertain whether he'll get approval for what he said, so he does this grotesque imitation of a laugh. It's really grating to hear, but the show covers interesting topics.

Don't miss out!

Great podcast! The host obviously loves his job and his work. He adds just the right amount of corky humor to make the all of this great information digestible.

This is the best podcast on psychology that I have found so far. Scott has impeccable understanding of the research and asks the best questions, he also does it in a way the "lay-person" can relate to. I enjoy his jokes and the light-hearted approach he takes with guests. As a psychology instructor at a community college, I enjoy listening on my commute so that I might gain an interesting insight about research I had not considered before. Keep it up, Scott!

Like this guy and his guests a lot. Knowledgeable, intelligent, and open minded. Not afraid to go into neurochemistry and genetics either, unlike others in psychology.

Great info!

I really enjoy the topics and guests. That's what keeps me listening. But the host continually interrupts the guests to make trivial comments, which is distracting and awkward.

Don't turn it to biography

I prefer to hear more of the topic instead of expending 20 or more minutes about expert's life and family. Please discuss more about topic not personal life, don't turn it to biography.

Great podcast

So informative and a great relaxed manner. The best interviews on topics that matter in behavioral science.

I was intrigued by the topics and interview format, but like others have said in their comments, I found the host to be more interested in talking about himself than in letting the guests really discuss their work. I held out for a few episodes hoping this would improve, but it seems to be how the host wants to run his podcast. There are a lot of other podcasts out there, and I’ll be moving on.

This sounds like it'd be a great podcast if it sounded good; my ears hurt. It is not that difficult to make it not sound digital & garbly these days You are too far from the mic as well.

This was actually really impressive! I've only listened to one episode so far, but I'm truly excited to listen to more. I didn't think a podcast like this existed, to be honest (but I'm new to podcast-listening). As a psychology unergrad whose actually interested in this field, this will be a fantastic way to receive new information when I'm on break from classes!

Could be better

I was very interested in this show but it wasn't at all what I expected.
Very poor audio quality and a host that interrupts randomly with "jokes" and talks about himself for the most part. I just can't listen anymore and it's a shame because the guests seem to be very professional with good insights to share.

Excellent

Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman does a great job interviewing the movers and shakers in the field of positive psychology. Aside from the hilariously awful audio quality, this is a great podcast if you are interested in self development. Recommended.

Always interesting...

I am always excited when I see there's a new cast because I'm assured an hour of interesting conversation that gets my brain moving. I enjoy the personable nature of the show and how the level of information provided is delivered in a digestible way.

Self-centered host, good topics

This podcast has great topics, was very interesting guess. However, the host is completely self-centered and, unbelievably, asks each guest about his own issues and how to solve them. I find this really irritating. He should have enough experience that he could refer to patient's issues and not always ask questions about his own problems.

EXCELLENT

This is a really great podcast; very informative and current. I greatly appreciate the research based nature of the discussions. My only complaint is the sound quality. It is occasionally hard to make out what's being said and sounds muffled at times. Sometimes the volume is low when Dr Kaufman speaks but amplifies considerably when his interviewees comment. I imagine this is an easy fix and I hope my feedback helps facilitate that. Nevertheless, the fact that I keep listening regardless of the sound quality is a testament to the reality of the title of my review; this podcast is excellent!

What an exciting new podcast! Kaufman's background in creativity is evident, especially as he draws out key findings and new ideas from his guests. His follow ups and challenges added to my understanding. I had to pause the podcast more than once to jot down ideas that stemmed from the dialogue - a high order metric of engagement from a listener! I'm hooked.

This Podcast Is Killer

It’s about time that the podcasting space had some real high quality, thought provoking content.
If you’re looking for an insightful host, and super interesting psychology related guests, you’ll love this podcast ! Also, the host is kinda funny.
