In this episode, Dr. K takes a hard look at anger, violence, and why some men seem to lose control. Using the Raja Jackson situation as a case study, he unpacks how hurt, ego, and value systems can pile up until anger explodes.
Dr. K breaks down:
How “perceived value systems” shape what we see as respect or disrespect
The hidden role of hurt and egocentric thinking before anger even shows up
Why some violence is “reactive” rather than psychopathic
Red flags that make someone prone to abuse
Why men, in particular, are socialized to convert fear or sadness into anger
It’s a deep dive into the psychology of rage, how it develops, and what it takes to break the cycle whether in yourself or in people you know.

How Your Phone Controls You
In this episode, Dr. K breaks down the hype around dopamine detoxes and social media breaks—and why they don’t actually solve the problem. Drawing on his background in addiction psychiatry, he explains that detoxing only pauses the cycle temporarily; if you go back to the same habits, nothing changes.
Instead, Dr. K explores the neuroscience of dopamine, how technology hijacks our survival systems, and why balance is about building real-world rewards, not chasing quick fixes.
Topics include:
Why “dopamine detoxes” are a myth
The neuroscience of withdrawal and tolerance
How social media and video games mimic survival rewards like achievement and community
Why balance means creating real-world alternatives, not just unplugging for a week
Practical tips: protecting your morning dopamine, building sustainable habits, and shifting cravings toward healthier activities
This is a thoughtful look at why tech is so addictive and how to reclaim your brain from it.

Dr. K Answers Why You Hate Your Life
In this episode, Dr. K explores why so many people feel stuck in dissatisfaction—and how deeper practices like meditation and Vedic psychology can help. Rather than just focusing on surface-level self-improvement, he breaks down the inner journey of facing suffering, understanding the mind, and building resilience.
On his iPad, Dr. K walks through Vedic psychological models that explain why we get trapped in cycles of frustration, self-criticism, and comparison. He then shows how meditation, properly understood, is not about escape but about transforming how we relate to our thoughts and emotions.
Topics include:
Why modern life leaves so many feeling empty
The Vedic psychology framework for understanding the mind
How meditation actually works as a journey, not a quick fix
Breaking free from cycles of dissatisfaction and finding deeper meaning
This episode offers both practical insights and a philosophical lens to rethink why you struggle and how meditation can become a tool for real change.
