Raynor will also be a keynote speaker at Dordt University's At Work in the Garden conference, where he and other speakers will further explore themes of faith, work, and vocation.

Todaywe are delving into one of the greatest mysteries of the Bible here inPhilippians 2:7, where the Apostle Paul wrote, “But made Himself of noreputation, taking the form of a bondservant.” Today we are going to talkabout how “He emptied Himself”. What an amazing truth we find here—thatJesus Christ, the God of heaven, emptied Himself and came among us. Philippians2 takes us into the humility of Jesus Christ. Remember, that is what Paul isteaching: “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” Theheart and mind of humility that Jesus had brought Him to planet Earth as ahuman being. Verse6 shows us that Jesus is fully God. We talked about that yesterday. Now verse 7shows us what He was willing to do for our salvation. Paul says, “But madeHimself of no reputation.” The phrase literally means “He emptied Himself.”Now, this has sometimes been misunderstood, so we need to look at it carefullytoday. Jesus did not empty Himself of His deity. Jesus never stopped being God.When Jesus walked on earth, He still forgave sins. He still calmed storms. Hestill received worship. He still claimed equality with the Father. He was fullyGod and fully man at the same time. So what did He empty Himself of? Helaid aside the independent use of His divine privileges. He voluntarilysurrendered the visible glory and heavenly privileges that He had with theFather before the world began. Remember John 17:5, where Jesus prayed, “Andnow, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I hadwith You before the world was.” Think about what Jesus left behind: the worshipof angels, the splendor of heaven, the glory of eternity, the uninterruptedfellowship of heavenly majesty. He entered into a fallen world filled withsuffering, rejection, hatred, and pain. The Creator stepped into His creation. Theeternal God became a baby. What humility! Paulcontinues by saying that He took “the form of a bondservant.” Notice thecontrast in verse 6: He was in the form of God. In verse 7, He took the form ofa servant. The One who ruled heaven and the universe became a servant onearth—not merely a servant, but a bondservant, a slave. Jesus did not pretendto serve. He became a servant. Think about John 13, where Jesus washed thedisciples' feet. That was the work of the lowest household servant. Can youimagine that? The hands that formed the galaxies washed fishermen's feet. Thatis the mind of Christ. Mark10:45 says, “For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto but tominister.” This is so opposite of our culture today. The world says, “Promoteyourself, demand recognition, protect your image.” Jesus says, “Serve.” Remember,real greatness in the kingdom of God is found in servanthood. Matthew 23:11says, “He who is greatest among you shall be your servant.” Yes, many peoplewant the crown, but few want the towel. Yetthroughout Scripture, God honors servants. Joseph served in prison beforeruling in Egypt. David served sheep before leading Israel. Moses served in thewilderness before delivering a nation. Jesus served all the way to the cross. Thequestion today is this: Where is God calling you to serve?Maybein your home.Atyour church.Atwork.Maybein a hidden ministry that nobody ever notices. Yousee, the flesh wants applause, but the spirit wants obedience. One of thegreatest tests of humility is whether or not we are willing to serve when noone sees us and no one praises us. Are we still joyful today in serving theLord? The mind of Christ says, “Yes, I will serve.”Today,ask yourself:AmI looking to be served or to serve?DoI quietly resent humble tasks?AmI willing to do unnoticed ministry?Thatmay mean being a nursery worker, cleaning the church, helping elderly people,or being a faithful prayer warrior that nobody knows about. Heaven sees it all.Remember this: Jesus never asked us to go lower than He already went. Remember:“He emptied Himself” and so should we!

In this message from our IRL: Faith for Everyday Life series, At Work or School, we explored what it looks like to follow Jesus in the places where we spend so much of our time. Faith isnt something we leave at the doorit shapes how we show up, how we work, and how we treat the people around us. Even in ordinary tasks and everyday interactions, our lives can reflect something deeper. This sermon invited us to notice the ways we can driftcutting corners, losing perspective, or slipping into cynicismand to return to a better way. As we follow Jesus, we are called to live with integrity, faithfulness, and hope, not because everything is easy, but because we belong to Him. Our work and our classrooms become places where our faith is quietly and consistently lived out.

Chuck Proudfit -- founder of the ministry At Work on Purpose -- told us on a recent show, "to start thinking like a journalist..." What does that mean? And what exactly do journalists do? Well, they find where the story is, and then they join it! And like journalists, we, as Christ-followers, have the opportunity to find what God is doing and join him! Ephesians 2:10 in the Message Translation says, "God creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing." Are you a spiritual journalist - seeking out God's story? Take a moment today and ask the LORD what he is up to in your office, in your home, or in your neighborhood. Then pray about how you how you can join in His good works! 

Get the Experiment Proposal Template mentioned in this episode. Everyone says they want to “experiment” at work—especially now that AI is reshaping how teams operate—but most organizations still treat change like a project plan: analyze, design, roll out, hope for the best. The result? Fake experiments that are over-controlled and over-planned, or chaotic side projects that burn people out and quietly die. In systems this complex, you can't think your way to the right answer, but you can test and learn your way there. In this episode of At Work with The Ready, Rodney Evans and Sam Spurlin dig into what real experimentation looks like inside organizations. They unpack why complexity demands an iterative approach, why so many “tests” are doomed from the start, and what it takes to scaffold experiments with the right authority, resourcing, and constraints. -------------------------------- Ready to change your organization? ⁠⁠⁠Let's talk.⁠⁠⁠ Get our newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠ Follow us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -------------------------------- Mentioned references: Adam Grant's astrology post Previous experimentation episode: BNW Ep. 62 Aaron Dignan Charter management science operating rhythm: BNW Ep. 118 sunk cost Even/Over WIP (work in progress) The Ready's Experiment Proposal Template 00:00 Intro + Check-In: What's a personal experiment you've done recently or are thinking about doing? 03:42 The Pattern: Desire for control and lack of structure stifles real experimentation 06:37 Parallels to R&D for pharmaceuticals 09:37 What's missing in most company experiments 11:35 Example of The Ready's experimentation 17:01 If everything succeeds, they aren't experiments 22:21 Learning and scaling successful experiments is really hard 28:23 Ripple effects of experiments are just as important 30:00 Unstructured experimentation is deeply costly 34:57 Navigating the discomfort during experiments 37:28 Idea #1 - Create intentional space for learning 38:51 Idea #2 - The Ready's Experiment Template 44:35 Idea #3 - No experiments for other people 46:10 Idea #4 - Prepare yourself for disappointment 48:48 Wrap up: leave us a review and share the show with your coworkers!

Leave a Review to help our audience grow!--November 16, 2025 -- Pr. John Alwood -- "At Work!" -- 2 Thes. 3:1-13(3) Finally, brothers and sisters, pray that we spread the Lord's word rapidly and that it will be honored the way it was among you. 2 Also pray that we may be rescued from worthless and evil people, since not everyone shares our faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful and will strengthen you and protect you against the evil one. 4 The Lord gives us confidence that you are doing and will continue to do what we ordered you to do. 5 May the Lord direct your lives as you show God's love and Christ's endurance. 6 Brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ we order you not to associate with any believer who doesn't live a disciplined life and doesn't follow the tradition you received from us. 7 You know what you must do to imitate us. We lived a disciplined life among you. 8 We didn't eat anyone's food without paying for it. Instead, we worked hard and struggled night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you. 9 It's not as though we didn't have a right to receive support. Rather, we wanted to set an example for you to follow. 10 While we were with you, we gave you the order: “Whoever doesn't want to work shouldn't be allowed to eat.” 11 We hear that some of you are not living disciplined lives. You're not working, so you go around interfering in other people's lives. 12 We order and encourage such people by the Lord Jesus Christ to pay attention to their own work so they can support themselves. 13 Brothers and sisters, we can't allow ourselves to get tired of doing what is right.

Kevin Kritzer -- "At Work!" -- 2 Thes. 2:1-8 & 132 Brothers and sisters, we have this request to make of you about our Lord Jesus Christ's coming and our gathering to meet him. 2 Don't get upset right away or alarmed when someone claims that we said through some spirit, conversation, or letter that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don't let anyone deceive you about this in any way. That day cannot come unless a revolt takes place first, and the man of sin, the man of destruction, is revealed. 4 He opposes every so-called god or anything that is worshiped and places himself above them, sitting in God's temple and claiming to be God. 5 Don't you remember that I told you about these things when I was still with you? 6 You know what it is that now holds him back, so that he will be revealed when his time comes. 7 The mystery of this sin is already at work. But it cannot work effectively until the person now holding it back gets out of the way. 8 Then the man of sin will be revealed and the Lord Jesus will destroy him by what he says. When the Lord Jesus comes, his appearance will put an end to this man. ... 13 We always have to thank God for you, brothers and sisters. You are loved by the Lord and we thank God that in the beginning he chose you to be saved through a life of spiritual devotion and faith in the truth.http://www.bethanylutheran.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.facebook.com/Bethany.Long.Beach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/c/BethanyLutheranLongBeach

Get the AI Coffee Club toolkit to start one at your own organization: Download here! AI isn't coming—it's here. Every organization is already feeling its impact, whether through new tools, shifting expectations, or the quiet panic of not knowing where to start. But most companies are doing what they always do: treating transformation like a plan instead of an experiment. And as AI reshapes how work gets done, the biggest risk isn't falling behind—it's automating the dysfunctions you already have. In this episode of At Work with The Ready, Rodney Evans and Sam Spurlin take their first deep dive into AI since 2023. They unpack why AI acts as a mirror for your organization's operating system, how hesitation and hype are both clouding judgment, and what it looks like to design meaningful ways to learn and experiment instead of performative roadmaps. -------------------------------- Ready to change your organization? ⁠⁠Let's talk.⁠⁠ Get our newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠ Follow us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -------------------------------- Mentioned references: Little Caesar's and Detroit Redwings connection The Ready's AI Coffee Club Dot-com bubble polarities in tension "traditional consulting episode": AWWTR Ep. 8 conference Rodney refers to: Charter Workplace Summit "AI as translation layer podcast" (actually an article) 00:00 Intro + Check-In: What's good? 03:13 The Pattern: AI is a mirror for everything in your org, and probably making it worse 09:48 Importance of doing your own research, even if you're a skeptic 12:35 Treating AI as a paint job on your broken org won't fix anything 16:30 The role of humans at work right now 21:03 Importance of real scaffolding to do this work 24:14 Recasting IT as the enabler rather than the traffic cop 28:03 Nobody is an expert yet and there is no roadmap 33:43 The easiest idea with AI usually isn't the best one 39:28 What Rodney and Sam are hopeful about with AI 44:23 Counter ideas for engaging with AI 47:10 Wrap up: leave us a review and share the show with your coworkers Sound engineering and design by Taylor Marvin of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Coupe Studios⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

How do you change the way work happens when everyone agrees on what to do—but no one wants to change how it's done? In this mini episode of At Work with The Ready, Rodney Evans and Sam Spurlin tackle a listener question about navigating change inside legacy systems where authority, tradition, and “the way we've always done it” still rule. They explore why emotional loyalty to old processes can stall transformation, and how small experiments and “pair coding for organizational change” can help teams actually evolve their ways of working.

This is a classic session of How's Work? A large and scattered network of journalists meet for a virtual session with Esther. Over the past year, they've reported on the biggest stories of their careers, but they are burned out, isolated, grieving, and disconnected from the very thing that supports and energizes them all: their newsroom. Over the last few years, workplace culture has been transformed by remote work, inconsistent in-office presence, and an intergenerational workforce. Where Should We Begin? At Work is a new game designed to transform your work culture – one story and one relationship at a time. Brought to you by Esther Perel and Culture Amp, this isn't your typical icebreaker. It's a new data-backed game that will help you create community at work. Details at https://game.estherperel.com/products/where-should-we-begin-at-work Want to learn more?

She's watching the company she co-founded unravel—strained partnerships, family entanglements, and the weight of guilt, anger, and responsibility pulling her in every direction.

We've never had more freedom in our relationships—yet many of us feel more disconnected than ever. Marriage, family, and even the workplace have all been reshaped by shifting norms, new technologies, and rising expectations. Happiness, once a nice-to-have, is now the very glue that keeps both couples and teams together.Few people understand these changes better than Esther Perel. For decades, she's helped us rethink intimacy, navigate conflict, and reimagine what a healthy connection looks like—at home and now at work with her new conversation inducing game of questions, Where Should We Begin? At Work. Esther and I explore how our ideas of love and partnership have evolved, why friendships can be just as life-giving as romance, and why learning to “talk to strangers” may be the most important skill for the next generation. We also dive into the role of play, trust, and risk-taking in building lasting bonds.If you care about creating relationships that are strong enough to withstand the pressures of modern life, this episode might just be for you.This is A Bit of Optimism.To learn more about Esther's work, visit: www.estherperel.comAnd to check out Where Should We Begin?

Creativity through the lens of a photographer and storyteller"You can do anything you want. The level of success is not the measure that matters."Brian Doben's ongoing “At Work” series documents everyone from tattoo artists and sumo wrestlers to Chemists and prosthetic Limb designers wherever they are. His process has brought him all over the world from L.A., Tokyo and Mumbai, to Cuba, Israel, Australia and all over the US.  ‘At Work' is a study of our world and how the people in it follow their unique callings. Brian released several dozen of his “At Work” portraits in a book of the same name while simultaneously presenting them at the photography festival Les Rencontres d'Arles in 2013. Since then he's released a steady stream of portraits over the years.Brian's own work for his editorial clients that include GQ, Vanity Fair, Travel & Leisure, and Town & Country has brought him to far-flung locations like Madagascar, Antarctica, and even the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan. Each of these cultures have taught him new things about how humans approach the important work they do and how to bring that to life.He takes the authentic touch he's earned from ‘At Work' into his fashion and celebrity work offering a natural style that is all his own. His advertising clients – that include American Express, Apple, Cadillac, Chase, Ford, Google, Intel, Intuit, Lexus, PayPal, Sony, UPS, and Wells Fargo amongst many others – benefit from his ability to compose complex images and capture genuine moments that emerge on their own under his direction.Brian has received awards from the Society of Publication Designers, American Photography, and Photo District News for his work. He was one of PDN's 30 Under 30, Kodak's Photographer of the year, and the inaugural photographer on PDN and Kodak's “Emerging Artists Series” website. His work is also part of the Museum of the City of New York's permanent collection. Brian was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, he currently lives outside Boston with his wife and daughter.www.briandoben.comwww.atworkproject.comhttps://vimeo.com/569989289Send us a text

The Fortified Life Podcast with Jason Davis Episode Title:“Redeeming the Workplace: Chuck Proudfit's Journey from Corporate to Calling”Guest: Chuck Proudfit, Founder of At Work on PurposeAired: Wednesday, June 4, 2025 | 8:30 PM ESTWebsite: FortifiedLifePodcast.com

#568 Brian Doben is a celebrated commercial photographer whose journey into the craft was driven by pure instinct and a love for observing life—what he calls the “greatest romance” of his life aside from his marriage. Key themes throughout the episode include Brian's unexpected entry into photography after realizing his first passion, professional cycling, wouldn't pan out. He credits his success to a willingness to follow instinct, embrace humility, and prioritize listening—to both his own creative impulses and to clients. KEY TOPICS COVEREDThe Role of Instinct and Human Connection in Photography - Brian recounts how his instinct led him to pick up a camera during a period of personal uncertainty. He has since trusted his intuition not only in what he photographs but in how he forms connections with his subjects. Takeaway: Success in photography relies as much on empathy and actively listening as it does technical skill.Professional Development and Navigating the Photography Industry - The episode discusses Brian's transition from student to professional, the value of assisting, and how humility and a willingness to start from the bottom are essential for long-term career success. Doben highlights lessons learned through real-world experiences—such as working in demanding client settings and building resilience.Personal Projects and Creative Renewal: The "At Work" Project - Brian shares the origin and evolution of his personal project, “At Work,” which helped reignite his passion after creative burnout. He describes his process for finding subjects, the importance of curiosity over agenda, and how personal storytelling elevates his portraiture. Real-world anecdotes illustrate how life experiences, vulnerability, and setbacks inform creative vision.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSInstinctual Photography: Trusting one's gut feelings and spontaneous creative urges rather than rigid planning; essential to finding authenticity in both subject matter and method.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow can following your instincts guide your creative or career choices in photography?What strategies can photographers use to build authentic connections with clients or subjects, especially in high-pressure environments?In what ways can personal setbacks or life events inform and enrich your photography or storytelling?RESOURCES:Visit Brian Doben's Website - https://www.briandoben.com/Follow Brian Doben on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/briandoben/“At Work” Project and Gallery -  https://www.atworkproject.com/“At Work” Book by Brian Doben – https://www.amazon.com/At-Work-Brian-Doben/dp/195196330XGrab your free 52 Lightroom Presets athttp://freephotographypresets.com/ Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

We got TWO updates from "Jason" about the girl's trip picture of his wife with another guy's arms wrapped around her and TEA WAS SPILLED. Then in Group Therapy, "Kenny" and a co-worker crafted a list of annoying and hot co-workers and it somehow ended up AT WORK. Allegedly. Maybe. And Ben derails Little Kid or Drunk Adult with his dog's penis. #lipstick

This is a classic session, from the second season of How's Work? From day one, they've described their relationship as “tumultuous," but there are highs as well as lows. One is new to the work force, the other is new to this particular work place. One manages the other. And while they like each other on a personal level, they clash over their fundamentally different approaches to getting the job done. Over the last few years, workplace culture has been transformed by remote work, inconsistent in-office presence, and an intergenerational workforce. Where Should We Begin? At Work is a new game designed to transform your work culture – one story and one relationship at a time. Brought to you by Esther Perel and Culture Amp, this isn't your typical icebreaker. It's a new data-backed game that will help you create community at work. Details at www.estherperl.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Well I haven't said it too many times, BUT we have a first!  We start off with a caller who works for a major corporation in which hugging is prevalent.  She explains not only between friends and co-workers, but direct reports and managers, HUGGING....AT WORK!  Oh and some outfit suggestions for a rage weekend in Miami, and a 22 year old who is deciding whether to take the leap of faith and move to NY.

Work can be one of the biggest drivers of positivity in your life, but no one ever really explains how to be successful without sacrificing everything outside of the office. When you enjoy your work, you're more successful and any joy you feel on the job spills over into the rest of your life as well. Kind of like practicing empathy at work and bringing that skill home with you!My guest today is Jason Silver, author of Your Grass is Greener: Use What You Have, Get What You Want. At Work and in Life. We discuss why leaning into values matters, what he learned about people-centric leadership at AirBnB, and how he carried that into his other successful endeavors. He shares 9 of the most common workplace challenges, why the term "best practice” is dangerous, and the difference between intention and purpose. He shares powerful habits to find more enjoyment at work - which he says is not the fluff but the fuel - and he tells you exactly how to ask your boss to allow you to do your work in ways you enjoy more! Finally, we discuss why it's easy for leaders to attribute cost but less easy to attribute exponential benefits when you focus on enjoyment and people first. To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:Take care of your people first and they will take care of any problem your business runs into. The earlier you start, the more you can bake the values of the organization into the company and team members, which makes it easier to make every decision based on those values. It is not a waste of time to reflect and learn from our weeks. If we don't know where we were unintentionally pulled sideways or intentionally set other things aside, we won't know what we need to focus on going forward. You are not going to find every aspect of your job fun or enjoyable, but it doesn't have to be constant fun for you to find overall enjoyment in your career. "Enjoyment isn't the fluff. Enjoyment is the fuel. The more you're enjoying your work, the more likely it is that you accomplish bigger and bigger things." — Jason SilverFrom Our Partner:SparkEffect partners with organizations to unlock the full potential of their greatest asset: their people.

It's so easy, especially these days, to numb out. To get bored. To move through life on autopilot. There is even a scientific term for this: habituation.Today we're talking to a researcher who co-authored a new book about the neuroscience of habit and how to wake up again. To make things exciting. Or as she says, to “re-sparkle”. Tali Sharot is a professor of cognitive neuroscience at University College London and MIT. She's written several books including The Optimism Bias and The Influential Mind. Her latest, co-written with Cass Sunstein, is called Look Again: The Power of Noticing What Was Always There. In this episode we talk about:What habituation is and what's going on in the brain when it happensHow it negatively impacts the joy we feel in life – and inversely – how it can make us stop noticing the bad stuffKey strategies for disrupting habituation and introducing change and variety into your lifeThe interesting relationship between creativity and people who habituate slowlyHow habituation impacts our relationshipsWhy it's important to break up the good experiences, but swallow the bad whole.How to wake up from a “technologically induced coma”How people emotionally habituate to dishonesty and lyingAnd lastly, we talk about the dangers of habituating to a slow, incremental rise in tyranny – and how dis-habituation entrepreneurs can helpRelated Episodes:#345 How to Change Your Habits | Katy MilkmanHow Turning Habits Into Rituals Can Help You At Home, At Work, And When You're Anxious | Michael NortonMaking and Breaking Habits, Sanely | Kelly McGonigalSign up for Dan's weekly newsletter hereFollow Dan on social: Instagram, TikTokTen Percent Happier online bookstoreSubscribe to our YouTube ChannelOur favorite playlists on: Anxiety, Sleep, Relationships, Most Popular EpisodesFull Shownotes: https://happierapp.com/podcast/tph/tali-sharot-828See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
