#081: Leo Kösters is the founder of beyond-you.net, a psychology student and social scientist.
In our busy world today, people don't talk much about mental health. It's often misunderstood and judged wrongly, even though we know a lot more about the mind and brain now. So, how can we then improve mental health in the population? How can we include third-world countries in that endeavor?
Expect to learn how Leo wants to improve mental health worldwide, 3 lessons from his ADHD journey, the connection between ADHD and unconventionality, three books that have greatly influenced his life, his favorite failure from the past, and much more.

Episode Clarifications and Corrections
- (00:03:26) - Correction: The individuals discussed are not in jail but in a psychiatric hospital, where they have been legally mandated to stay.
- (00:32:40) - Clarification: When I said "now I am," I meant to say "now I am not."
- (00:38:40) - Amendment: I misspoke regarding global socio-economic tiers. The correct term should be "first world," not "third world."
- (00:39:40) - Fact Check: The current minimum wage in Nigeria is approximately 65 dollars per month.
- (00:55:00) - Misconception Addressed: The term "Napoleon complex" does not imply a belief in achieving more than others. It refers to a theory suggesting that shorter individuals exhibit aggressive and domineering behavior to compensate for their height. Recent research, however, has debunked this theory.
