TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion of suicide.

Jimi talks candidly with experimental psychologist, Professor Jesse Bering, a leading scholar, essayist and science writer specialising in evolution and human behaviour.
Focusing on Jesse’s most recent book; ‘Suicidal - Why We Kill Ourselves’, Jimi & Jesse have an honest and frank discussion about their own history with suicidal thoughts and what helped them get through.
They talk through some of the research about what causes people have suicidal ideations and urges and outlines some of the ways to help get through and overcome them.
A greatly important topic that needs to be discussed, suicidal thoughts affect a huge, and perhaps surprising, percentage of the population at some point. It’s a uniquely human phenomenon, it all depends on what we do with them.
