Did you know there is a National Association for Self-Esteem? I had no idea. They feature the leading thinkers in the area of self-esteem and human potential. I think the self-esteem movement has its supporters and detractors as nearly any movement will have. It will have some practitioners who are sound, some who are off the wall, and some who give the movement a bad name. I'm not sure at all what camp the National Association falls in, but their website was…well…interesting. What started me thinking about this was an article quoting psychology Professor Jean Twenge. It said Americans born after 1970—including the so-called Generation X and Millennial Generation—have become an army of little narcissists.I'm no expert, but that analysis matches to a T what I see in young people these days. Of course, what I think I see is only what I see. Can this be backed up somewhere? Twenge goes on to say Among Americans who lived through the Great Depression and two world wars, between 1% and 2% experienced a major depressive episode in their lifetime. Suicide was more common among middle-aged people, not young people.How things have changed? Today, the lifetime rate for major depression is between 15% and 20%, [that's 10 times greater] it's an increase too large to be explained by improved case reporting. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for people ages 15 to 24, while rates have dropped for the middle aged. Why should Generation Me feel so much anxiety and pain when it has grown up in relative peace and technological and economic expansion? Boy, now there is a question. When you consider the kind of world they have lived in compared to the kind of world their grandfather lived in, good grief, why should they feel anxiety and pain? Well, let's look at some possible answers.
Mark Blyth is the Carl Sagan of economics. Making the topics that usually cause our eyes to glaze over understandable, and approachable, dare I say, even fun. In 2016 a Political Economist and the Director of the William R. Rhodes Center for International Economics and Finance, within the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, at Brown University predicted that Donald Trump would win the Presidential election. Despite the fact that nearly every poll and the broadly held belief in political circles was that Clinton would win in a rout . . .That lone voice was the voice of Mark Blyth.At the time, economists and pundits both looked at Blyth's prediction as a humorous anecdote they could toss into their various presentations about the upcoming election. They soon would be consuming large quantities of CROW.In the aftermath of the election of Donald Trump, Blyth was seen as prescient and his theories that wove together economics and historic trends and precedents were suddenly highly sought after.To Blyth, the growing disparty of wealth was a potent driver in the growing divisions infecting the body politic and a systemic existential threat to democracy. But Mark Blyth had not only seen the danger ahead. As they say these days - he brings the receipts.

What does it mean for White men to define their unfiltered experience, living in the US in the '20s? Loran and Jenny host a focus group with four White men who share their experiences of race and racism in the US today. When was the last time you heard a White man talk about what it means to be a White man without supremacy or shame? Are any stereotypes or tropes outdated? What are we getting right? What are we getting wrong? In this first episode, we meet each man as he shares with us a bit of who he is and how his ability to be in good relationship with himself and others is/n't impacted by race and racism. This conversation is part of a larger approach this season to talk about race at the intersection of gender.

America is deeply divided right now, not just in terms of politics but also in race issues, economy, and ideologies. It seems like 2020 has accentuated this division through Covid-19 and the recent presidential election. The line has become explicit, and more people are being forced to confront it head-on.

Depression: breakthroughs in Individual Therapy A major depressive disorder is a serious medical illness affecting an estimated 18 million American adults. CDC estimates that 8.1 percent of American adults ages 20 and over had depression in any given 2-week period from 2013 to 2016. One in eight middle-aged women in the United States has depression, a new report finds. This means that women ages 40 to 59 have the highest rate of depression (12.3 percent) of any group based on age and gender in the U.S., according to the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Among Americans ages 12 and older, 9.5 percent of females and 5.6 percent of males had moderate or severe depression Abuse. Past physical, sexual, or emotional abuse can cause depression later in life. The focus of Individual Therapy efforts center on areas of individuals’ lives that they have a concern. These areas commonly involve conditions that are causing a great deal of distress in the individual’s life. Individual therapy has proven fundamental in treating depression. WHAT IS DEPRESSION? Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease a person’s ability to function at work and at home. Depression is a common but serious mood disorder. It causes severe symptoms that affect how you feel, thinks and handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working. To be diagnosed with depression, the symptoms must be present for at least two weeks. Some forms of depression are slightly different, or they may develop under unique circumstances, such as: • Persistent depressive disorder • Postpartum depression • Psychotic depression • Seasonal affective disorder • Bipolar disorder high – euphoric or irritable – moods called “mania” or a less severe form called “hypomania.” WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION? If you have been experiencing some of the following signs and symptoms most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks, you may be suffering from depression: • Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” mood • Feelings of hopelessness, or pessimism • Irritability • Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness • Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities • Decreased energy or fatigue • Moving or talking more slowly • Feeling restless or having trouble sitting still • Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions • Difficulty sleeping, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping • Appetite and/or weight changes • Thoughts of death or suicide, or suicide attempts • Aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems without a clear physical cause and/or that do not ease even with treatment Not everyone who is depressed experiences every symptom. Some people experience only a few symptoms while others may experience many. Several persistent symptoms in addition to low mood are required for a diagnosis of major depression, but people with only a few – but distressing – symptoms may benefit from treatment of their “subsyndromal” depression. The severity and frequency of symptoms and how long they last will vary depending on the individual and his or her particular illness. Symptoms may also vary depending on the stage of the illness. WHAT ARE THE MAIN CAUSES OF DEPRESSION? There are a number of factors that may increase the chance of depression, including the following: • Abuse. Past physical, sexual, or emotional abuse can cause depression later in life. • Certain medications. For example, some drugs used to treat high blood pressure,
More Americans are practicing yoga and meditation, research has found. Based on 2017 data, 14.3% of American adults said that they had practiced yoga in the past year, while 14.2% had meditated. These findings show that there was a drastic change from 2012, when only 9.5% did yoga and only 4.1% did meditation. The same trend is apparent among American children aged four to 17. Yoga practice in that age group increased from 3.1% in 2012 to 8.4% in 2017. For meditation, the numbers jumped from 0.6% to 5.4% during the five-year period. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) gathered the data using the results of the National Health Interview Survey from 2012 to 2017. The survey mainly determined the number of people who practiced yoga and meditation in the United States. In the survey, yoga was described as a practice involving meditation, breathing exercises, and physical postures. People do it to relax and achieve a mental, physical, and spiritual balance. On the other hand, meditation was defined as a type of mental exercise that can boost mindfulness and spiritual awareness. Richard Nahin, one of the researchers, speculated that people are turning to yoga and meditation because they are starting to recognize the medical benefits of these practices. The benefits include relieving pain in certain body parts, such as the lower back and neck, and alleviating stress. Furthermore, the implementation of wellness programs at companies and schools, along with the development of yoga and meditation apps, is already at play.
Political analysts give plenty of attention to our partisan divisions according to race or gender, but not enough to the stark differences based on age. The good news for Republicans is that the Democrats are entirely reliant on young voters. Among Americans over 30 in 2016, Trump won the popular vote by a decisive margin, but among the 19 percent of voters below 30 he lost by a crushing landslide of 20 points. The bad news is nearly all these young people will be voting again. Meanwhile, the over-65 segment—the strongest age group for Trump—gets steadily thinned by the actuarial realities. Unless we can swing those youthful voters toward conservative ideas, emphasizing better plans for their present and future, the prospects for the Republican party may be grim.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
My guest on today's podcast - Gary Taubes - just wrote a groundbreaking, eye-opening exposé entitled "" that makes the convincing case that sugar is the tobacco of the new millennium: backed by powerful lobbies, entrenched in our lives, and making us very sick. Among Americans, diabetes is more prevalent today than ever; obesity is at epidemic proportions; nearly 10% of children are thought to have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. And Gary believes sugar is at the root of these, and other, critical society-wide, health-related problems. In the book, he delves into Americans' history with sugar: its uses as a preservative, as an additive in cigarettes, the contemporary overuse of high-fructose corn syrup. He explains what research has shown about our addiction to sweets. He clarifies the arguments against sugar, corrects misconceptions about the relationship between sugar and weight loss; and provides the perspective necessary to make informed decisions about sugar as individuals and as a society. is cofounder and senior scientific advisor of the Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI).

“There are two kinds of cardiologists: vegans and those who haven't read the data.”Dr. Kim Williams Heart health is serious business.Serious as a heart attack, as the saying goes, given that currently 1 out of every 3 people in America die from cardiovascular disease (CVD) – our #1 killer.According to the American College of Cardiology, CVD currently accounts for approximately 800,000 deaths in US. Among Americans, an average of one person dies from CVD every 40 seconds. Right now more than 90 million Americans carry a diagnosis of CVD. And over 45% of non-Hispanic blacks in the United States live with heart disease.But this isn't just an American problem. On a global level, CVD is the single largest cause of death in developed countries and accounts for 31% of all mortalities.If you take a moment to ponder these staggering statistics, you quickly realize just how vast the epidemic of heart disease has become.And yet there is hope. Because this disease that's debilitating and killing millions annually is entirely avoidable. It's completely preventable. And it's even reversible.The solution begins with personal responsibility. It's about what you put in your mouth. It encapsulates your lifestyle choices. And it extends to erecting systemic changes in our health care model to prioritize prevention over symptomatic treatment.To walk us through these important issues I sat down with former American College of Cardiology president Kim Williams, M.D. — one of the most inspiring, intelligent and pioneering leaders in the growing movement to modernize how we think about, treat, avoid, and prevent our most onerous threat to human health.A graduate of the University of Chicago and the Pritzker School of Medicine, Dr. Williams currently serves as Chief of the Division of Cardiology at Rush University Medical Center, and is board certified in Internal Medicine, Cardiovascular Diseases, Nuclear Medicine, Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiovascular Computed Tomography. In addition to his tenure as President of the American College of Cardiology (2015-16), Dr. Williams has also served as the President of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology and Chairman of the Board of the Association of Black Cardiologists.Tangential fun fact? Dr. Williams was also a teen chess champion before becoming Illinois' No. 3 singles tennis player at 15 years old with no previous background in the sport. Faced with a choice between pursuing professional tennis or medicine, he chose medicine.Back in 2003, Dr. Williams became concerned that his LDL cholesterol — the kind associated with an increased risk of heart disease — was too high. After some research into the positive benefits of adopting a plant-based diet, he decided to give it a shot. It worked, bringing his LDL down to normal levels. He then began prescribing his nutritional protocol to his patients. That worked too.Then an interesting thing happened. Dr. Williams became president of the American College of Cardiology, a 49,000-member medical society that is the professional home base for the entire cardiology profession. This gave him a broad platform of authority to advance awareness and the legitimacy of a plant-based diet as both a treatment and preventive protocol for heart disease.Today we unpack his story and probe the science, economics and politics behind nutrition and cardiovascular health on the road to avoiding, combating and ultimately overcoming America's #1 killer. Specific topics covered include:* the politics of industry influence on available information and clinical studies & its implications on education and public awareness;* the primary contributing factors behind CVD, including a discussion on heme iron, cholesterol, saturated fat and sugar; See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Did the 2016 take a toll on your mental health? FOX's Alex Hein reports in this "Housecall for Health": This is Housecall for Health. The election season may have ended months ago, but simply thinking about politics still has Americans stressed out. The American Psychological Association's annual 'Stress in America: Coping with Change' reflected a higher level of anxiety over political matters and where the country is heading, among both Democrats and Republicans. The nation's economy as well as work and money stress topped the list of stressors among Americans, but 57 percent of those polled deemed the political climate a very significant or somewhat significant stress source. Almost half said the same about electoral outcomes. 72 percent of Democrats said the outcome of recent elections was a significant stressor, while 59 percent of Republicans considered the nation's future a substantial source of stress. Experts say Americans should try to meditate or breathe deeply to relieve symptoms, as well as reaching out to others in their network. For more on this story, check FOXNewsHealth.com.

To introduce today's Creating Wealth Show, Jason Hartman considers the changes the role of disintermediation has brought about in terms of consumer empowerment, before inviting another attendee of the Birmingham, Alabama Property Tour to share his real estate experience. Scott from Washington DC is an experienced investor who is interesting in branching out and expanding his portfolio into new markets. His main query for Jason is ‘How can I maximize my depreciation in commercial and residential properties?' Later, Jason interviews director and producer, John Sullivan, the brains behind 2016: Obama's America, America: Imagine The World Without Her and his latest film, Unfair: Exposing the IRS. They discuss many of the issues arising in the various movies as well as touching upon broader topics such as the growing anti-American sentiment and the impact of people's ideologies and philosophies. Key Takeaways 02.25 – By becoming a Member before registering for any of Jason Hartman's events, you can take advantage of huge members' discounts. 09.11 – Thanks to changes in technology and society, more power is in the hands of the consumer. 16.00 – A big drawback of commercial properties is the much longer depreciation time (39.5 years to the 27.5 years of residential properties). 18.30 – Jason Hartman gives his guest and his listeners some advice on maximizing their depreciation. 22.53 – Unfair: Exposing the IRS takes what we think we know about the IRS and delves even deeper into it. 28.00 – With so many new laws created every year, how can anyone keep to every single law every day? 32.20 – Among Americans, especially students, the perception of America itself seems to be changing. 34.05 – Jason Hartman asks the key question: What would the world be like without America? 26.10 – John Sullivan poses the interesting notion that the main anti-America sentiment is home-grown and has a fairly recent historical stem. 39.30 – The philosophies and ideologies of a lot of Americans are also now being thrown into disrepute. 43.24 – Find out more information about the most recent film at www.AmericaTheMovie.com and about the upcoming film at www.UnfairMovie.com Mentioned in this episode www.Travelocity.com www.Expedia.com www.AngiesList.com America: Imagine The World Without Her – a documentary produced by John Sullivan 2016: Obama's America – a documentary produced by John Sullivan Unfair: Exposing the IRS - a documentary produced by John Sullivan Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed - a documentary produced by John Sullivan Three Felonies a Day by Harvey Silverglate The People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn
