I was interviewed for this given our work exploring how mental health advice skews towards telling people to do more rather than less https://t.co/FprZl1JdAm. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine my research would be used as a critique of Chris Martin.

I wrote how this paper came together at the link below but the inspiration very much came from @Leidyklotz and his collaborators. https://t.co/jNZeyTALgi

Across eight studies, we explored the tendency that people (and AI) have to give people advice about their mental health that involves telling them to do more.

The craziest part though was that I could generate a brief 'podcast' summary. It has a few problems (there's an audio artefact at the start) but if I'm being fair it's actually really good and provides a good lay summary of the paper. Listen here:
