  • The No As*hole Rule: Building a Civilized (and Successful) Workplace | Psyche Decoded
    Aug 21 2025

    Have you ever worked with someone so mean-spirited that your first thought was, "Wow, what an asshole!"? You're not alone. In this powerful introduction to our new series on Robert Sutton's groundbreaking book, host Adil Khan Khalid decodes "The No Asshole Rule."

    We explore the surprising origin of this rule at Stanford University, how a blunt question transformed an entire department's culture, and why the Harvard Business Review took a chance on this controversial yet vital idea. This isn't just an academic concept; it's a real-world solution to the epidemic of workplace toxicity.

    Join us as we discuss:

    • The true cost of working with bullies, jerks, and creeps.

    • How one simple rule can dramatically improve team performance and morale.

    • Why civility and respect aren't just "nice to have"—they are a strategic advantage.

    • Realizing that you have a choice: you don't have to let a toxic colleague ruin your career.

    Your work life is too short to spend it under abusive bosses and nasty coworkers. Learn how to identify them, limit their damage, and champion a healthier, more successful work environment.

    Tune in to Psyche Decoded with Adil Khan Khalid and start transforming your workplace today.

  • The Anger Compass: How to Turn Rage into Boundaries & Growth | Psyche Decoded | Last Episode
    Aug 18 2025

    Host Adil Khan Khalid decodes anger’s hidden purpose: it’s not just rage, but a signal pointing to unmet needs and broken boundaries. In this deep dive, we explore:

    • Why anger is your inner GPS – revealing what’s truly wrong in relationships & life.

    • Case Studies that transform theory into action: Kiran (workplace conflict), Katy (aging parent guilt), Junaid (parental fear projection), & more.

    • The Blame Trap vs. Self-Responsibility: Who really owns your feelings & reactions? (Spoiler: Not the bus driver!).

    • Breaking Toxic Triangles: Stop shifting tension onto 3rd parties & face the real issue.

    • Practical Boundary Scripts: Learn phrases to express needs clearly without blame (e.g., "I feel X when Y, I need Z").

    • Long-Term Change: Move beyond quick fixes (meditation, counting) to reshape deep emotional patterns (over/under-functioning, distancing).

    Discover how anger, when decoded, becomes fuel for self-discovery, stronger relationships, and reclaiming your life.
