BACK TO A BETTER FUTURE: THE CRUCIBLES OF SCI-FI CINEMA VIStars Wars Episode 4: A New HopeThe names C3PO and Luke are familiar to anyone who's watched the Star Wars films but maybe not from the vantage point we discuss them here.This week, in the sixth episode of our special summer series BACK TO A BETTER FUTURE: THE CRUCIBLES OF SCI-FI CINEMA, we unpack the crucibles not only these two characters face in the film that kicked off the saga, STAR WARS EPISODE IV: A NEW HOPE, we also look at the trials Obi-Wan Kenobi, Princess Leia and Han Solo must move beyond and the tragedies Darth Vader dishes out.How can understanding the lessons of the crucibles they overcame or caused help you turn your setbacks into significance?

Casey Brooks preaches "Toward A Better Future" from Psalm 85, in this Sunday morning gathering of Grace Harbor Church.

What can one person actually do about the metacrisis? In this week's Frankly, Nate explicitly outlines just a few of the countless actions we can take to actually change what's coming, rather than just prepare for it. He touches on why the metacrisis is better understood as a predicament to be continually shaped, rather than as a problem with a single solution – calling for a shift in mindset in order to navigate the uncertainty ahead. In complex systems such as ours, even seemingly modest differences in initial conditions can lead to wildly different outcomes down the road, meaning that what each of us chooses to do today shifts what becomes possible in the decades ahead. With that framing, Nate offers a list of small, specific, and slightly unordinary interventions that serve to challenge the forces driving the metacrisis. He explores methods like reducing dependence on constant stimulation, cultivating humanity and humility, and finding our own version of what is "enough." Along the way, he also shares how he sees resilience growing through shared effort, meaningful relationships, and a renewed sense of responsibility for the more-than-human world. None of these things will solve our predicament on their own. But if millions choose to start living differently in the immediate present, the forces shaping our future might just start to shift. How can redefining success, consumption, and community make us less vulnerable to today's systemic challenges? Why does "practicing loss" help change the way we respond to disruptions? And what if the most meaningful response to the world's biggest challenges isn't a sweeping political movement or a technological breakthrough, but a collection of ordinary actions practiced consistently over time?

BACK TO A BETTER FUTURE: THE CRUCIBLES OF SCI-FI CINEMA VJurassic ParkJust because you can do something doesn't mean you should. That's the chief lesson of Jurassic Park — but it's not one the man who brought dinosaurs back to life and turned them into theme-park attractions learns until it's too late.This week, in the fifth episode of our special summer series BACK TO A BETTER FUTURE: THE CRUCIBLES OF SCI-FI CINEMA, we discuss the crucibles unleashed when John Hammond uses his vast wealth to create what he thinks will fill the world with wonder but winds up filling the attraction he builds with death and terror.How can understanding where Hammond went wrong help you avoid your own crucibles or overcome them when they hit?

Hey there Voices of the Bench community, this is Trish Jones with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS Emax Zirconia offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help save you valuable production time while maintaining consistent results. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out to your local Ivoclar rep today and discover how IPS Emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one.Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. But this conversation goes far beyond Matt's career. His book, The Invisible Profession, explores how the dental laboratory industry arrived at a place where technicians and laboratories are often undervalued, pushed into price competition, and expected to simply keep their heads down and produce. Matt shares his thoughts on the "million little things" that shaped the industry, the danger of becoming a "busy fool," and why laboratories need to stop competing solely on price and start becoming known for the value, expertise, and partnership they bring to the dental team. Elvis, Barb, and Matt also talk about the changing landscape of digital dentistry, AI, 3D printing, speed, service, and why the labs that embrace change and remain agile will be the ones positioned for the future. It's an honest, thought-provoking, and ultimately optimistic conversation about where the dental laboratory profession has been, where it is today, and where it can go next.Special Guest: Matt Everatt.

On this episode of Union Talk, AFT President Randi Weingarten shares her speech from the recent AFT convention, in which she lays out a path forward for how AFT members and working people can build our power to create a better future for all. Weingarten details how working people can fight the chaos, corruption and cruelty of the Trump administration by harnessing the power of the people. And she explains how AFT members can get involved in the union's most ambitious election program ever to elect candidates from statehouses to Congress who will act on an agenda to help achieve the America we dream of: An America where everyone has opportunity and economic security. An America where everyone's dignity and freedoms are respected. And an America whose democracy not only endures but finally lives up to its noble ideals.

Sometimes saving the planet can feel like a massive, exhausting guilt trip. In this episode, Debbie sits down with University of British Columbia professors Elizabeth Dunn and Jiaying Zhao to talk about their book, Leave the Lights On: How Joyful Decisions Can Save Our Species. Their main point is about the whole "you must be perfect" climate messaging is totally backfiring, and focusing on joyful, high-impact changes is actually what keeps people motivated. Jiaying breaks down a massive 63-country study showing how scare tactics just make people want to shut down, and the duo debunks some common eco-myths.It turns out that obsessing over turning off the lights or choosing the perfect reusable bag doesn't move the needle much. Instead, they shout out smarter, high-leverage moves like treating beef and lamb as occasional splurges, eating more plants, and traveling lighter. They also get into how to influence the people around you by making sustainable choices easy, attractive, and non-political, proving that individual habits and big systemic changes (like voting) both matter.Listen and Learn: How "doom and gloom" climate messaging actually backfires by discouraging real-world actionSurprising insights from a massive global study of 60,000 participants across 63 countriesFinding joyful, climate-friendly lifestyle changes to create a positive feedback loop that makes us happier and more motivated to protect the planet How making practical, high-impact shifts in your daily habits like smarter food choices can create a truly sustainable difference for both you and the planetData-backed truth behind common environmental myths and how to easily focus your energy on the daily lifestyle choices that actually make a high-impact difference for the planet How to significantly lower your carbon footprint without sacrificing the foods you loveReducing your carbon footprint without giving up the joy of travel by mastering the art of packing light, making smarter flight choices, and embracing the unexpected adventure of staycations How to inspire positive behavior change in others without lecturing them on climate change Why individual action and systemic change are not a false dichotomy, but rather a powerful partnership where local community engagement can drive larger policy shifts and boost your personal happiness Resources: Leave the Lights On: How Joyful Decisions Can Save Our Specieswww.happyclimate.org Book Debbie mentioned: Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden, by Camille T.

This week, we're continuing our archive miniseries, Myths That Built Trickle-Down Economics, with the myth that bad economic ideas die once the evidence proves them wrong. They don't. They come back as zombie ideas: tax cuts for the rich sold as growth policy, safety-net cuts sold as responsibility, and market fundamentalism sold as common sense. These ideas have failed again and again, but they keep returning because they still serve the people and institutions with the most power. In this episode, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman joins Nick and Goldy to explain why zombie economics refuses to die, how bad assumptions infected mainstream economic thinking, and why defeating trickle-down economics requires more than better evidence — it requires naming the myths that keep shaping our politics. This episode originally aired on March 31, 2020. Paul Krugman is a Nobel Prize-winning economist, professor, author, and former New York Times columnist. His book Arguing with Zombies: Economics, Politics, and the Fight for a Better Future examines the failed economic ideas that continue to dominate American policy debates.

America turns 250 this year, and we'll tell the old story again. But where does it actually start? Daniel Hawk traces our founding back past 1776 to the Doctrine of Discovery that gave Christian powers the right to seize "unclaimed" land, and to a reading of Genesis that turned wilderness into property and the people already here into obstacles. We talk about the myth of innocence: the belief that we are fundamentally good, that the brutal parts didn't happen or didn't count. It let us justify almost anything, and it left violence in our bones. We talk about how Scripture was used to take land and how it reads differently from underneath empire, about Canada and South Africa beginning to face their histories, and about what real repair asks of us - slow, relational, measured in generations. As we mark 250 years, this is an invitation to be honest about the first half of the story before we write the next.L. Daniel Hawk (PhD, Emory University) is professor of Old Testament and Hebrew at Ashland Theological Seminary in Ashland, Ohio. Aspects of his work on biblical narrative take a postcolonial turn in books such as Joshua in 3-D: A Commentary on Biblical Conquest and Manifest Destiny and as coeditor of Evangelical Postcolonial Conversations.Daniel's Book:Undoing Manifest DestinyConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

During the live phone-in programme “Hello Doctor” organized by the Diabetes Care Foundation of India, Dr. Sunil Gupta discussed the growing burden of diabetes and emphasized that the disease often remains silent for years without noticeable symptoms. He explained that in India, diabetes is typically detected approximately 3–7 years later than its actual onset. Many patients are diagnosed only after complications affecting the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, or blood vessels have already developed. He further asked, “Do you think these chronic complications occur within days or weeks? No. It takes years of uncontrolled diabetes for such damage to develop.” Dr. Gupta stressed the importance of regular screening, monitoring, and a holistic approach to diabetes management rather than focusing only on blood sugar levels. He emphasized the need for patients to take “ownership” of their diabetes by following treatment plans, undergoing routine check-ups, and adopting healthy lifestyle habits. The discussion also covered topics such as hypoglycemia, insulin therapy, Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), diabetes-related complications, alcohol-related risks, travel precautions for people with diabetes, and the importance of carrying a diabetes identification card. Special attention was given to the increasing incidence of diabetes among younger adults and the need for early diagnosis and preventive care. The key message was that awareness, timely testing, regular monitoring, and active patient and family participation are essential to prevent complications and achieve better long-term diabetes outcomes.

What happens when one of the world's most legendary tropical fruit hunters, permaculture pioneers, and community builders sits down to talk about plants, purpose, spirituality, and the future of humanity? In this deeply inspiring conversation, Darin Olien welcomes longtime friend, ethnobotanist, permaculture educator, and visionary community creator Stephen Brooks for a wide-ranging exploration of regenerative living, plant intelligence, community building, food systems, and humanity's forgotten relationship with nature.

The more we align ourselves with the principles that forests, ecosystems, and living systems have been demonstrating for millions of years, the more abundance, connection, resilience, and purpose we create in our own lives. The future may not require inventing something entirely new—it may simply require remembering what nature has been trying to teach us all along."

What if the smartest path to your future runs straight through your past? In this episode of Capability Amplifier, Dan Sullivan and I dig into how Ai is reshaping the way entrepreneurs think, create, and build.I share what I have been doing in live workshops. I use Ai to study a person's body of work, then help them shape a clearer, more exciting future, often inside a single session. We look at the tools that make this possible and why a rough working prototype can do more than a polished plan.Dan brings the strategic lens. He explains why so many entrepreneurs try to escape their past, and makes the case that their history is their biggest asset. He also walks through his free-day system, how he plans and protects his time, and why he comes back from time off with what he calls a new brain.We get into the mindset behind all of it: structure that creates freedom, the kind of client who is the best fit for this work, and why collaboration is the part of Ai that excites us most.The core idea is simple. Your past is your edge. Use it well, and Ai can help you build what's next faster than you thought possible.In this episode, Dan and I break down:How Ai can turn your past work into ideas for your next moveThe tools that make fast prototyping possible, and what each one doesWhy a rough working model beats a perfect planThe paid conversation that attracts people who are ready to actDan's free-day system and how he guards his timeWhy structure in one area of life creates freedom in anotherThe traits that make someone a great fit for this kind of workKEY TAKEAWAYSTreat your history as an asset - your past projects, content, and clients are raw material Ai can shape into your next offer.Prototype before you commit - a rough working model can teach you more in a day than a perfect plan does in a month.Add a small barrier to entry - asking people to invest a little upfront attracts the ones who show up ready to act.Decide your time off first - set the number of days you will not work this year before you fill the rest of the calendar.Guard your free days with a plan - hand work to your team in advance, and protect the time the way you protect a key meeting.Use Ai to filter, not just create - point it at your inbox to surface dropped balls, and at your calendar to match your days to your goals.Build structure so you can be creative - predictability in one part of life frees you to take bigger swings in another.Choose clients who like themselves - the best fit are ambitious people who value their own growth and have invested in it before.Time Stamps00:00 Why entrepreneurs have a real edge01:37 Mike's early-morning Ai workshop02:56 Building a member's future self, live08:55 Turning years of episodes into a book11:36 A faster way to build a business15:14 The paid coffee chat that finds better clients18:19 Dan's Bill of Rights book and faster writing with Ai25:00 Mapping Dan's capabilities with Ai35:16 Schedule your free days first36:44 How Dan guards his free days48:03 Using Ai to clear your inbox and calendar56:44 Your past points to your better futurePS – When you're ready, here's how I can help: Want to discover your next big opportunity?

Health Calls Season 6, Episode 17 explores how health systems across the United States can improve outcomes by connecting health care, nature, and community partnerships. Host Brian Reardon and Executive Producer Josh Matejka welcome Dr. Sheetal Rao, Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois Chicago, to examine the growing evidence linking green space access to better physical, mental, and community health.  Dr. Rao shares how the COVID‑19 pandemic revealed stark inequities in access to nature, introducing concepts like tree equity and “nature deficit” in underserved communities. The conversation highlights how hospitals, acting as anchor institutions, can partner with local organizations to expand tree canopy, support biodiversity, and reduce environmental risks like heat, flooding, and air pollution. With U.S. health care contributing significantly to climate impacts, Dr. Rao underscores how nature‑based solutions, from native plantings to urban forestry, can strengthen resilience, improve health outcomes, and advance more equitable, sustainable care nationwide.

Optimism is not wishful thinking but a practical strategy that allows individuals, families, organizations, and societies to create a better future. Neurologically, optimism activates brain systems involved in motivation, planning, learning, and goal-directed behavior, while chronic pessimism and hopelessness reduce initiative and reinforce withdrawal. From a life coaching perspective, people thrive when they believe their actions matter and that improvement is possible; this belief drives effort, resilience, and personal growth. Sociologically, optimistic cultures build institutions, solve problems, raise families, innovate, and recover from adversity, while hopeless cultures stagnate and decline. The good news is that optimism can be developed through small wins, improved physical health, purposeful action, healthy relationships, and learning to view setbacks as temporary and solvable rather than permanent and overwhelming. Ultimately, optimism is the conviction that tomorrow can be better than today and that our choices, habits, and efforts play a meaningful role in making that future a reality.Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting/life coach/ gym-chalk covered philosopher talks about training your brain for Growth

So many times we find ourselves getting stuck in negative and unproductive thought patterns. If we aren't careful or mindful of this, we could easily sink further and further into despair. Meditation can help us reset our minds and recalibrate our day just by taking a few moments to ourselves to watch our breath. One breath at a time.

With the idea of rejoining the European Union suddenly back on the agenda after Andy Burnham's selection for the Makerfield by-election and the positioning ahead of potential Labour leadership contest, this week we're looking at whether 10 years on from the referendum, could Brexit ever be reversed? Would there ever be the political will, the public backing or the practical ability, for Britain to once again be a part of the EU, and would stirring up a maelstrom that seemed finally settled, blow up our politics irreparably?Later in the episode host Alain Tolhurst speaks to Professor Anand Menon, director of the think tank UK in a Changing Europe, along with the former Conservative minister Steve Baker, who now writes the Fighting for a Better Future substack, about how serious the idea of rejoining is.But first the Labour MP Stella Creasy, chair of the Labour Movement for Europe, spoke to Alain about how the party should approach the UK's future relationship with the EU.To sign up for our newsletters click herePresented by Alain Tolhurst, produced and edited by Ewan Cameron and Lulu Goad for Podot

Adam Angst of TidBITS reflects on Apple's 50 years through the lens of early tech idealism, arguing that what mattered most wasn't Apple itself but the community around it, which was weakened by shifts like the end of Macworld keynotes, Apple's vertical integration, and the decline of user groups and independent resellers. He contrasts the Mac's early "create" ethos (e.g., HyperCard) with later emphasis on communication and content consumption via iPod, iPhone, and social media, while noting growing societal harms from tech giants. Angst describes renewed excitement in creation via AI tools, citing apps he built for track training and race pacing. He recounts how his 1993 Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh bundled software (including MacTCP) and a flat-rate ISP account, prompting an Apple Legal scare resolved by the MacTCP product manager, and closes by urging people to ditch social media and "go outside."   00:00 Part Two Kickoff 00:37 TidBITS Anniversary 00:52 Apple 50 Reflections 01:59 Pre Web News Era 04:33 Early Internet Optimism 05:20 Flame Wars Then 07:31 Apple Idealism Fades 10:20 Community Was The Magic 11:45 Macworld And User Groups 14:00 Vertical Integration Shift 17:25 Apple Turning Points 22:20 Creators To Consumers 25:43 From Consumption to Creation 26:01 Bicycle for the Mind 27:27 AI as Research Assistant 28:26 Building Runner Tools 29:40 Pacing Math Problem 33:25 AI MVP to Real Code 36:04 Internet Starter Kit Origins 40:56 Apple Legal Scare 43:09 Invent a Better Future 46:04 Go Outside Finale     ——————————————————————————__—

It's safe to say right now the majority of us are feeling the pinch. Grocery and fuel prices are on the rise and the income gap between the wealthy, and everyone else, continues to grow. And yet, aside from the U.S., Canada is the strongest economy of the G7. A prosperous country doesn't necessarily translate to a fuller wallet for its citizens. Host Nahlah Ayed and panelists discuss how 'prosperity' should be defined and how that can be achieved.Guests in this episode:Hon. Lisa Raitt is a former Conservative cabinet minister, who now co-chairs the Canadian Coalition for a Better Future.Zita Cobb is a Fogo Island entrepreneur, founder of Shorefast which supports local economies and community development.Kaylie Tiessen is the chief economist at the Shield Institute.

Planning for a Better Future There will always be problems in the world, but there will always be multiple solutions. These solutions may take time to actually show results, so you need to be paying attention and planning ahead. You may have to give up instant gratification, but the long-term affects will make life so much better. We talk about learning from mistakes, building businesses, evaluating problems, finding solutions, and ways to improve how you learn to make better decisions.   We also talk about Trump's claim that he will make the economy so good that the deficit won't matter. We also cover how the average person commits 3 felonies a day, even when they are trying to do everything right. The system is set up for this to happen, as governments only have power to crack down on criminals. If there aren't enough of these, the government will create them with the way they make laws, so they can "cash in on guilt."  Instead of creating equality by bringing everyone down to the lowest level, we should accept that, while not equal, we should be bringing more people up with words, deeds, and by example. While one person's life may get 2-3 times better, the person next to them may get 10 times better. Only with this method, can we make the world a better place.

Trabian Shorters has been thinking about systems since he was a kid—first with computers, now in shifting philanthropic culture to define people by their aspirations and contributions. He talks about his cognitive framework Asset-Framing® and the next narrative that leads to lasting change.

Being absolutely sure you're right should settle an argument, but somehow, it often does the opposite. Instead, things escalate, tensions rise, and before you know it, the conflict has taken on a life of its own. For this episode, Yael welcomes New York Times bestselling author, trained mediator, and Good Conflict co-founder Amanda Ripley to unpack her book  High Conflict: Why We Get Trapped, and How We Get Out, and the difference between “good conflict” that strengthens us and “high conflict” that feeds on contempt, disgust, and rigid us-versus-them thinking. You'll hear why high conflict makes us more error-prone while feeling more righteous, how group belonging and media incentives can keep the cycle going, and practical ways to interrupt the pattern like Gary Freeman's three-question pause before speaking. Listen to learn how to stay in the fight without losing nuance, curiosity, or yourself.Listen and Learn:The distinction between healthy conflict that helps you grow and the kind that quietly turns destructive in ways you may not notice Why conflicts can quietly take over our thinking, shifting us into an us-versus-them mindset Why do we get pulled into conflicts that drain us even when we know the cost, and what keeps us hooked?How can even people deeply engaged with information find themselves pulling away from conflict, and what does that reveal about the hidden dynamics of high conflictHow you can recognize the early signs of high conflict and shift toward more productive, healthier conversations before things escalateResources: High Conflict: Why We Get Trapped, and How We Get Out: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781982128579 Amanda's Website: https://www.amandaripley.com/Good Conflict Website: https://www.thegoodconflict.comConnect with Amanda on Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/amanda.ripley.35/https://www.instagram.com/ripleywriter/Amada's Substack: https://amandaripley.substack.com/ Amanda's article about high-conflict journalism, I stopped reading the news.

She has written three award-winning nonfiction books — The Unthinkable, The Smartest Kids in the World, and High Conflict — each following people through transformations to uncover what the rest of us can learn. Her most recent book, High Conflict, chronicles how good conflict metastasizes into something that consumes everything in its path — and, crucially, how people find their way out. A trained mediator herself, Amanda's work reveals that escape from high conflict isn't about being nicer; it's about learning to genuinely comprehend what you still disagree with. Her writing has appeared in the Atlantic, the Washington Post, and Politico Magazine, among others.Related Episodes:234. The Power of Us with Dominic Packer371.

If you've ever ended an argument with your partner, coworker, or family member feeling confused about how it escalated so quickly, this episode is for you. Julia Minson, founder of the Constructive Disagreement Lab and author of How to Disagree Better, explains to us why trying to “win” arguments often starts fights and offers a different metric for success: a disagreement that increases both people's willingness to talk again. Drawing on her work on naive realism and research on receptiveness, she discusses why differences feel threatening, how listening is hard to perceive in conflict, and how language can signal receptivity using the HEAR framework. Listen in to learn evidence-based tools to make hard conversations in your life more constructive.Listen and Learn: Julia's upbringing in a family of psychologists, her immigrant experience, and her years as a ballroom dancer, and why people can share the same moment yet see it completely differently, making disagreement inevitableWhy a truly constructive disagreement isn't about “winning” or changing minds, but about improving mutual willingness to continue the conversation and deepening understandingNaive realism and the tendency to assume our perceptions are objectively correct, which underlies everyday conflicts, because everyone thinks “I get it” and struggles to see others' perspectivesHow true receptiveness works, not just thinking receptively, but expressing it clearly through language so others genuinely feel heard, especially in conflict or disagreementHow to use the HEAR framework to communicate receptively and build stronger relationshipsJulia's Hawk story and how approaching disagreements with curiosity rather than judgment can turn tense or potentially divisive moments into understanding, connection, and even common groundResources: How to Disagree Better: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780593855003Julia's Websites: https://disagreeingbetter.com/ and https://www.juliaminson.com/ Connect with Julia on Social Media: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-minson-5b511b150/https://twitter.com/juliaminson Take The Measure of Receptivity:https://receptiveness.net/survey.html About Julia Minson: Julia Minson is a professor of public policy at Harvard Kennedy School and founder of the Constructive Disagreement Lab, where she studies what she calls the "psychology of disagreement" — how we actually engage with views that conflict with our own, especially on the hot-button stuff: politics, values, health decisions.Her new book, How to Disagree Better, starts from a counterintuitive premise: we're drowning in advice on how to win arguments, but Julia's research shows that trying to win is basically a guaranteed way to start a fight. Her work offers evidence-based strategies for being genuinely receptive to opposing views, which turns out to be far more effective than perfecting your persuasion game.Related Episodes:276.

Monday Night Philosophy focuses tonight on the political philosophical principles generated by George Hammond's “Life is an Eternal Democracy” theory. His latest book, A Slightly Better Future: Short Term Fixes for America, Long Term Fixes for Democracy, details many incremental institutional improvements that could make democracies far more effective in the future. His ideas, based upon what we should have learned over the last 250 years, include a thoroughly revised democratic constitution, significantly redesigned political institutions, and several new forms of institutional checks and balances.  Fortunately, even amidst the current dismaying destruction of valued political norms, there remains a strong, sustaining undercurrent—the hope that all this institutional chaos will ultimately just remind us why compromise in the pursuit of consensus has been, and could continue to be, so productive in America's political culture.  Join us to discuss political principles that are designed to promote a civilized future, using realistic 21st century political thought—and political hope. A Humanities Member-led Forum program. Forums at the Club are organized and run by volunteer programmers who are members of The Commonwealth Club, and they cover a diverse range of topics.

This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax your body and refocus your mind to experience the reality of God's presence. I'm Dave Cover. I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God's presence through biblically guided imagination.  2 Corinthians 4:17-18 CSB “For our momentary light affliction is producing for us an absolutely incomparable eternal weight of glory. So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” Romans 8:17-18 NIV “...If we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 ESV “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him” 2 Corinthians 12:3-4 NIV “...Whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows — [I] was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell.
