The Collective Dream: Egyptians Longing For A Better Life (Palgrave Macmillan, 2023) links two seminal moments in Egypt's history – the Revolution of 25th January 2011 and the presidency of Gamal Abdel Nasser – through various cultural manifestations. It conceives the concept of “collective dreaming” to map out the subliminal feeling that runs deep through experiences of socially transformative moments. Sarah Nagaty has extensively studied the structure of feelings that encompasses the experiences not only of activist minorities but the broader mass of revolutionary movements. In certain historical moments, hopes and aspirations bind together millions of people from all walks of life: students, workers, farmers, and middle-class professionals. Nagaty calls this phenomenon the “collective dream”, something which has been carried through generations of Egyptians. In this episode, Ibrahim Fawzy sat down with Sarah Nagaty to discuss the conceptual roots of the collective dream and the overlooked histories of Nubian displacement during the construction of the High Dam. They also explored how thinkers like Raymond Williams and Lauren Berlant shaped Nagaty's method of reading revolutionary time and cultural memory, as well as how vernacular poetry, reportage, and graffiti served as vital archival traces of collective feeling. Ibrahim Fawzy is a literary translator and writer based in Boston. His interests include translation studies, Arabic literature, ecocriticism, disability studies, and migration literature.

Welcome to episode 101. In this episode, I explore the many types of neurodivergence beyond just autism and ADHD (dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, and more), and challenge the media's portrayal of neurodiversity as some kind of “new trend.” It's not. These differences have always existed—and people now have the language and support to truly understand themselves. This episode is all about shifting from outdated thinking to a mindset rooted in empathy, curiosity, and genuine inclusion. Let's dive in. In this episode:            Neurodivergence includes more than autism and ADHD—conditions like dyslexia, dyspraxia, and dyscalculia are also valid and impactful differences in how brains work.           ‘'Everyone's a bit on the spectrum'' and other misconceptions – How “spectrum” refers to the range of experiences within a condition - not between neurotypical and neurodivergent people.          Why true inclusion requires moving beyond stereotypes and embracing diverse ways of thinking, learning, and experiencing the world.   Mentioned in this episode: The book AuDHD: Blooming Differently by Leanne Maskell The Happier Life Hub is now OPEN!!

When you're heartbroken, your “bigger and better life” can feel a million miles away. Like something that happens someday if you can just survive the now. But what if the life you want isn't actually far off… you're just not stepping into the rocket that's sitting right in front of you? In this episode, Braveheart Colleen and I discuss how we delay our own healing and growth by waiting for the ‘right time' instead of recognizing the acceleration that's available right now. If you're feeling stuck or like things are moving painfully slow, this conversation is your invitation to shift gears, get in the rocket, and make real, tangible progress toward the life you say you want.

For many people, a good life is a stable life — a life that's predictable and filled with purpose. For others, happiness the point. They embrace moments of bliss and satisfaction. But what about a life that's focused on curiosity, exploration and a variety of experiences that broaden our world? University of Chicago psychology professor Shigehiro Oishi says that's a psychologically rich life — and in his new book, “Life in Three Dimensions,” he argues that a psychological rich life is just as important as a life filled with happiness and meaning. Professor Oishi joined Kerri Miller on this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas to discuss the markers of a good life. They talk about the value of risk, the importance of awe and how the American individualism can hinder a good life. Guest: Shigehiro Oishi is a celebrated professor of psychology at the University of Chicago. His latest book is “Life in Three Dimensions: How Curiosity, Exploration, and Experience Make a Fuller, Better Life.”Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.

Are you living a psychologically rich life? In this episode we discuss what it means to be psychologically rich and how you can generate more richness. In "Life in Three Dimensions: How Curiosity, Exploration, and Experience Make a Fuller, Better Life", Shigehiro Oishi, Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago,  shares his research and the ways leading a psychologically rich life can transform how you prioritize your days and goals. As Shige shares, “a  psychologically rich life is a life filled with diverse, unusual, interesting experiences that change your perspective; a life with twists and turns; a dramatic, eventful life instead of a simple and straightforward one”. For those of you who feel that something is missing from your lives, or that your dreams and goals don't fit with societal expectations, this conversation is for you. Shige Oishi has given us the language and concept for living our lives in search of experience, adventure, learning and connection.  Please share this episode with a frriend and follow us on Instagram at @meantforyoupod You can Sign up for our newsletter here Visit our website at www.meantforit.com Guest ideas?

Episode 3141: Craig Stephens reflects on the transformative power of parenthood, showing how it can awaken a deeper sense of purpose and drive to improve upon the life paths laid by previous generations. By redefining what a "better life" truly means, beyond wealth or early retirement, he encourages us to live with intention, model lasting values for our children, and pursue personal growth over generational comparison. Quotes to ponder: "To honor their sacrifices, we're compelled to pursue the life our parents dreamed for us." "Living a meaningful life is about personal progress, happiness, and having a positive impact on your community and the people you meet." "Strive to be the person you want your child to become, teach by example and never stop improving upon the person you were yesterday."

Episode 3141: Craig Stephens reflects on the transformative power of parenthood, showing how it can awaken a deeper sense of purpose and drive to improve upon the life paths laid by previous generations. By redefining what a "better life" truly means, beyond wealth or early retirement, he encourages us to live with intention, model lasting values for our children, and pursue personal growth over generational comparison. Quotes to ponder: "To honor their sacrifices, we're compelled to pursue the life our parents dreamed for us." "Living a meaningful life is about personal progress, happiness, and having a positive impact on your community and the people you meet." "Strive to be the person you want your child to become, teach by example and never stop improving upon the person you were yesterday."

We long for a happy life—one which fills and satisfies. Yet, a fulfilling life is actually difficult to find. The author of Hebrews shares some simple but profound pathways toward contentment and joy for those who have discovered the superiority of Jesus and believe in Him. All of these will run counter to the culture, yet they are the way to the joy of knowing and experiencing Jesus. So, we are to love one another, care for strangers and those in prison, build strong marriages and protect our sexuality, and keep our lives free from the love of money. Furthermore, Hebrews wants us to see the character described here as marks of authenticity for our faith and the very keys to forming the beautiful community that displays Jesus to the world. When we do this, we will find the promises of Psalm 118:6-7 to be true—that the Lord is on our side and He is our helper.

The work of building a life we love is deep and longterm. But along the way, there are small and simple gems of wisdom that can pack a big punch and lead us to “aha” moments.
