Join me for an inspiring conversation with my soul sister and fellow Brazilian, Janete Teixeira Parente, as she shares her incredible journey from a small town in South Brazil to becoming a successful business owner in New Jersey. What began as a one-year language-learning trip turned into a permanent move to the U.S., thanks to a series of unexpected opportunities. Listen in as Janete recounts her path from working on a farm as a teenager to meeting a supportive family of doctors who offered her a job, leading her to shift her career focus and eventually establish her own business. Her entrepreneurial spirit shines through, and her story, detailed in her memoir, is one I believe deserves to be a movie. We also explore Janete's childhood, growing up in a small farm town in a family of 11, and facing hardships like poverty and an alcoholic father. Despite these challenges, her father's emphasis on education and doing good serves as a lasting beacon of inspiration. We reflect on the powerful lessons learned from him, as well as Janete's personal growth and empowerment as a woman. Through her story, she exemplifies resilience, independence, and the importance of sharing wisdom and courage with others. Janete also invites you to connect with her on Instagram and visit her website for more insights into her journey.

Lots of people want to help other people. In their jobs. In their lives. In fact, lots of people would tell you "helping" is one of their main values. They only wish they could do it more. How wonderful that is in theory...and how complicated that can be in real life.Every week, Becoming You -- the podcast that aims to answer the question, "What do I do with my life?"  -- explores what it actually takes to find and embrace your authentic life. And each week, we talk about the role of values in that journey. YOUR values, that is.This week, we put the spotlight on two values that often get confused because they're both about helping, Radius and Non Sibi.Radius is the value held by people who want to change the world. They yearn to be a part of big, systemic change -- the stuff legacies are made of. Non Sibi is the value that motivates people who want to help on a more intimate scale. We're talking small and personal acts of kindness, compassion, and aid. Both values are wonderful and powerful in their own way -- but they are truly distinct. What unites them is that they often, well, hurt in their application. How so? We'll discuss. There can be no talking about helping without talking about its trade-offs.To bring this pod and its ideas to life, we visit a farm (yes, with real pigs) to meet Rachel McCrystal, who followed a cow upstate, and never left for the sake of her cause. Then, we scrub in at a trauma unit with Dr. Jodi Taylor, whose Non Sibi mindset fuels her in the operating arena...and at the grocery store alike. Their stories aren't just inspiring—they're a mirror for all of us.Because when you understand your values, life's biggest decisions suddenly become clearer. And maybe, just maybe, the path forward starts to reveal itself.So let's dive in. Pigs, finding purpose, and the inevitable "ouch" of altruism—all here in this week's Becoming You.

How exactly is the brain wired for altruism? And, if it is so beneficial, why can it be so rare in human society? On this episode, Nicole Karlis discussed her book, Your Brain on Altruism.

https://youtu.be/3XFiAQbxtgQ Podcast audio: In this episode of The Ayn Rand Institute Podcast, Ben Bayer and Agustina Vergara Cid examine the current controversy over USAID and discuss Ayn Rand's distinctive critique of the morality behind America's foreign aid. Among the topics covered: How recent revelations about USAID expose the agency's absurd, if not malicious, activities; Why Rand viewed foreign aid and its justification in the name of “the public interest” as morally corrupt; The continuing relevance of Rand's critique of the altruistic premises underlying arguments for foreign aid; How an unprincipled foreign policy has failed to protect America's interests abroad and wasted its resources; The role of foreign aid in a proper, pro-American foreign policy. Recommended in this podcast are Ayn Rand's essays “The Pull Peddlers” and “Altruism as Appeasement,” available in The Voice of Reason: Essays in Objectivist Thought.

This week on the Sinica Podcast, I chat with Jeremy Garlick, Director of the Jan Masaryk Centre for International Studies, Prague University, and a scholar of China's international relations. Jeremy is the author of the book Advantage China: Agent of Change in an Era of Global Disruption, but the book we're talking about this week is his new Cambridge Element titled Evolution in International Relations. It's a fascinating attempt to apply ideas from evolutionary biology, evolutionary psychology, and archaeogenetics to further our understanding of how nations interact.6:13 – Why Jeremy decided to apply an evolutionary framework to IR 15:34 – Why evolutionary science hasn't really been integrated into IR19:32 – How Jeremy views his project as refining the IR field 22:43 – The risk of the misappropriation of Jeremy's work, and the evolutionary elements of cooperation and intergroup competition 28:54 – How to avoid the trap of viewing evolution as teleological 34:07 – The idea of self-domestication 39:55 – Morality and human rights 45:17 – How emotions affect decision-making and diplomacy 50:32 – Hierarchy and status-seeking in IR 56:56 – Applying an evolutionary framework to the IR phenomena of alliances, nuclear deterrence, and strategic balancing 1:01:31 – Altruism toward out-groups 1:05:57 – The inevitability of competition with China 1:08:19 – The intellectual challenges Jeremy faced while working on this project, and what he would develop further in the future1:12:51 – Jeremy's thoughts on what IR as a discipline should address, integrating evolutionary science Paying It Forward: Richard TurcsányiRecommendations:Jeremy: The WEIRDest People in the World: How the West Became Psychologically Peculiar and Particularly Prosperous by Joseph Henrich; and The Expanse novels by James S.

This week on Death Clock, Brent speaks with journalist and author Nicole Karlis about the connection between altruism and longevity. Nicole, author of Your Brain on Altruism, shares research-backed insights into how acts of kindness, generosity, and volunteering can positively impact both mental and physical health. They discuss how altruism isn't just about helping others – it also fosters a sense of purpose, strengthens community ties, and can even contribute to a longer, healthier life. Brent and Nicole explore the science behind these benefits, including studies showing that people who regularly give back experience lower stress levels, improved well-being, and even reduced risk of chronic diseases. Whether you're looking for a new perspective on well-being or simply interested in the science of giving, this episode offers compelling reasons to integrate more acts of kindness into daily life. Hope you enjoy.

You hold the door open. You say yes when you mean no. You put others first—always. It feels like the right thing to do… but is it costing you more than you realize? In this episode, Scott Barry Kaufman, Ph.D.—Columbia professor, psychologist, and author of Rise Above—joins Dave Asprey to expose the psychology of victim vs. empowerment mindsets. He reveals how toxic altruism, external validation, and emotional fragility keep people stuck—and how you can reclaim your confidence, set boundaries, and create a life of true growth. Dr. Kaufman, one of the world's most cited scientists, shares cutting-edge research on self-actualization, resilience, and the hidden mental loops that shape your success. If you've ever felt stuck in self-doubt, drained from over-giving, or afraid to take up space, this conversation will help you break free. What You'll Discover in This Episode: • Victim vs. empowerment mindset—the key shift that changes everything • The psychological traps of toxic altruism—and why over-giving holds you back • How people-pleasing rewires your brain—and how to break the cycle • The science of self-actualization—how to unlock your full potential without guilt • Why modern culture and social media reward emotional fragility—and how to rise above it • The neuroscience behind confidence, resilience, and making better choices for YOUR growth If you've ever felt stuck, undervalued, or drained from always being “nice”, this episode will show you how to step into your power, rewrite your mental programming, and take control of your future.

Picture this: a man in his 80s trying to cross the street, but the traffic doesn't pause for long enough for him to cross. A young woman notices his difficulty, and runs over to help. Does the young woman get any kind of benefit from her action, or is it entirely thankless? Today, Dr. Bart Ehrman and I are talking about altruism. Is it possible to do a good deed without experiencing some kind of benefit?

We have an other amazing guest for this episode: Anders Sandberg is a visionary philosopher, futurist, and transhumanist thinker whose work pushes the boundaries of human potential and the future of intelligence. As a senior research fellow at Oxford University's Future of Humanity Institute until its closing in 2024 Sandberg explores everything from cognitive enhancement and artificial intelligence to existential risks and space colonization. With a background in computational neuroscience, he bridges science and philosophy to tackle some of the most profound questions of our time: How can we expand our cognitive capacities? What are the ethical implications of radical life extension? Could we one day transcend biological limitations entirely? Known for his sharp intellect, playful curiosity, and fearless speculation, Sandberg challenges conventional wisdom, inviting us to imagine—and shape—a future where humanity thrives beyond its current constraints.00:00 introduction04:18 exersise & David Sinclair06:10 Will we survive the century?18:18 Who can we trust?

My guest is Dr. Michael Platt, Ph.D., a professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. We discuss how factors such as hormonal or social status influence what we value, how we make decisions, and even our perceptions across a range of areas, from who and what we find attractive to our political affiliations. We also discuss how humans evaluate and shift power in relationships and form hierarchies in groups. Dr. Platt also shares new science-based tools for improving focus, creativity, and attention.

The Social Programme - The Difference Between Egoism and Altruism (Selflessness) Part Two by Radio Islam

In this episode, I analyze the complex dynamics of compassion in society, discussing how genuine empathy is often exploited by those in power for personal gain. I highlight the disparity between altruistic narratives from institutions and the harsh realities faced by the average citizen, questioning the effectiveness of charitable efforts that benefit bureaucratic elites. Emphasizing direct action over outsourcing moral responsibilities, I advocate for personal engagement with those in need to better understand poverty's nuances. I challenge the belief that financial aid alone can solve these issues, urging listeners to take an active role in their communities and maintain the integrity of their compassion.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Also get the Truth About the French Revolution, multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material, as well as targeted AIs for Real-Time Relationships, BitCoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-Ins.

It's challenging to help someone who refuses assistance. Guilt and regret are common feelings after losing a loved one. Public embarrassment can be a significant trigger for mental health crises. Forgiveness is a process that can lead to personal growth. Advocacy for traumatic brain injury research is crucial for veterans. Grassroots efforts can lead to substantial fundraising success.

Many people want to know how to be a better person. In today's episode, I discuss the implications from one of my favorite psychological studies, which reveals the unexpected driver of kindness. In general, it is those with some measure of prosperity -- of having an abundance of resources above and beyond what they need for their own personal use -- who are most likely to actually be of service to others. Ultimately, one of the best ways to help others is -- paradoxically -- to first help yourself.
