About this episode

Tana Amen and Dr. Daniel Amen discuss the difference between responsibility and blame, emphasizing the importance of self-care.

Responsibility is one of Tana's favorite words because it's a word that helped her get through a difficult time in her life. However, many people tend to confuse the word 'responsibility' with 'blame', which can lead to problems. As Tana and Dr. Daniel Amen share in this episode, the two words have quite different meanings. This concept, taken from Dr. Amen's upcoming book 'Your Brain is Always Listening', explains why those who take on responsibility need to make sure that self-care is always taken into account first before the needs of others.
