Ryan has an unplanned, very generous on-air hair donation; Josh shares a bit from a book which changed his life a bit; which leads to one of the most honest conversations he and Hugh have ever had on (or off) the show, about comparison, self-esteem, and growing up idolising your older brother.</p> <p>This is one epic journey.</p> <p>00:00 &mdash; The Phone Odyssey Begins<br>08:54 &mdash; Our Phone-Free Pledges<br>19:11 &mdash; Modelling Better Habits at Home<br>25:29 &mdash; Hairing is Caring<br>37:57 &mdash; A Bit From a Book That Changed Josh&rsquo;s Life a Bit<br>48:18 &mdash; The Conversation Between Brothers That Needed to Be Had</p> <p>🫖Imperfects episodes mentioned on this episode</p> <ul> <li>Bronte Campbell - Comparison, The thief of joy ****<a href="https://bit.ly/49S1S7C">https://bit.ly/49S1S7C</a></li> <li>Joe Brumm &amp; Hamish Blake - A Bluey Print for Dads <a href="https://bit.ly/4w4ohI8">https://bit.ly/4w4ohI8</a></li> <li>How (and why) Ryan Dumped his iPhone <a href="https://bit.ly/3T3xdyM">https://bit.ly/3T3xdyM</a></li> <li>Sam Willoughby - The tragic injury that changed his life (and Ryan&rsquo;s Finnastride admission) <a href="https://bit.ly/4fa5u8p">https://bit.ly/4fa5u8p</a></li> </ul> <p>📖 Things to read</p> <ul> <li>The midnight library - Matt Haigh&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/4vGgnE0" data-token-index="1">https://bit.ly/4vGgnE0</a></li> <li>How Proust can change your life - Alain de Botton <a href="https://bit.ly/4dYfCkd">https://bit.ly/4dYfCkd</a></li> <li>In search of lost time - Marcel Proust <a href="https://bit.ly/4vt3lJG">https://bit.ly/4vt3lJG</a></li> </ul> <p>📺Things to watch</p> <ul> <li>The Odyssey <a href="https://bit.ly/4vY8nij">https://bit.ly/4vY8nij</a></li> <li>Christopher Nolan on 60minutes <a href="https://bit.ly/4yjfZgX">https://bit.ly/4yjfZgX</a></li> </ul> <p>💌Join 8,300+ people getting our takeaways and favourite moments from this episode in our weekly newsletter - <a href="https://www.theimperfects.com.au/sign-up-to-our-newsletter/">https://www.theimperfects.com.au/sign-up-to-our-newsletter/</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>🩷To host your own Vulnerabilitea House, purchase here - <a href="https://www.theimperfects.com.au/shop/">https://www.theimperfects.com.au/shop/</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>🩵To purchase our journal (or your novel) My Imperfect Life, click here - <a href="https://www.theimperfects.com.au/shop/">https://www.theimperfects.com.au/shop/</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.
