Alex explains how to meditate after awakening; details the path to success in Zen, Mahāmudrā, and Dzogchen; and compares Taoist Inner Alchemy to cultivating the enjoyment body, Saṃbhogakāya.

I asked my AI app to speak as the ultimate philosopher/psychologist. I want you to blend ancient wisdom with modern science, stoicism, Jung, neuroscience, all of it. Now give me five brutal truths about the human mind. The kind of truths people need to hear if they want to stop wasting their life.

In dieser Episode spreche ich mit Jörg Schneider-Brodtmann über die faszinierende Welt der Verhandlungen und des Verhandlungsmanagements. Wir beleuchten die entscheidende Rolle von Verhandlungen im Mediationsprozess und das oft übersehene Verständnis der Verhandlungspsychologie. Aktuelle Verhandlungssituationen aus dem Alltag verdeutlichen die Relevanz dieser Thematik, ebenso wie die Unterschiede zwischen formellen und informellen Verhandlungen sowie die Dynamik von Machtverhältnissen. Wir planen, in zukünftigen Episoden auf Verhandlungstaktiken, kognitive Verzerrungen und die Auswirkungen von Geschlechterunterschieden einzugehen, um ein umfassendes Verständnis von Verhandlungen und ihrer Anwendung in der Mediation zu bieten.

Today, Jesse goes solo for a candid episode unpacking the most common mistakes and misconceptions he sees in personal finance, from the temptation to “rip off the bandaid” with Roth conversions to the behavioral traps of availability bias and flawed math around investment returns. He breaks down a real listener case study to show why paying millions in unnecessary taxes up front rarely makes sense, and explains why geometric averages—not arithmetic ones—are the only way to understand long-term investment performance. Jesse also tackles the question of whether hiring a financial planner still matters in an age of index funds, outlining how professional guidance can protect investors from costly behavioral mistakes and add value through tax strategies, estate planning, and disciplined execution. He goes behind the curtain on why most planners don't offer hourly services, compares business models in the industry, and underscores that even high earners can't outgrow poor spending habits. Finally, Jesse calls out the dangers of internet financial advice and reminds listeners that true financial success comes from avoiding pitfalls, questioning easy narratives, and building steady, intentional plans for the long run. Key Takeaways: • Availability bias influences investors—we tend to make decisions based on the most recent or vivid information, not on comprehensive analysis. • Neighbors' choices aren't financial advice—copying friends or coworkers' strategies can be dangerous without context. • The arithmetic average is misleading in investing—it ignores compounding and makes returns look better than they are. Geometric averages (compound returns) are the correct measure—they show the real growth rate of investments over time. • Financial advisors provide behavioral coaching and planning, not just advice. • You can't out-compound bad spending—even large salaries can't overcome low savings rates. • Internet financial advice is the wild west—anonymous content often lacks accountability or accuracy.

Do you believe your business has an inherent value? Dan Sullivan and Jeffrey Madoff dismantle this common illusion to reveal the true nature of value. Learn why it's determined solely by a buyer's motivation and how building a Self-Managing Company® is your ultimate path to greater freedom, growth, and engagement. Show Notes: The concept of inherent value is a subjective belief, not an economic fact. True value is determined solely by the agreement between a buyer and a seller at a specific moment. A buyer's perception of value is entirely dependent on their unique motivations and goals. The ultimate purpose of your entrepreneurial journey is to achieve greater freedom of time, money, relationship, and purpose. Selling your company often means sacrificing your freedom and becoming an employee. Growing your business can create its own kind of prison, depending on how you build it and what you do. Your personal engagement in the creative process is the core fuel for a fulfilling entrepreneurial life. Money is not the game itself but merely the scoreboard tracking your progress and freedom. Building a Self-Managing Company is the strategic vehicle that grants you the freedom to focus on what you love. Life and business are a constant negotiation requiring you to understand the other party's perspective above all else. Resources: What Is A Self-Managing Company®? The 4 Freedoms That Motivate Successful Entrepreneurs Casting Not Hiring by Dan Sullivan and Jeffrey Madoff “Scary Times” Success Manual: How To Be A Leader When Times Get Tough Never Split The Difference by Chris Voss Freakonomics by Stephen J.

Is your AI system making decisions that could be quietly costing you customers and talent? Every day, businesses are implementing AI solutions that may be perpetuating gender biases without even realizing it. From recruitment tools that favor certain demographics to customer service chatbots that respond differently based on perceived gender, these hidden biases aren't just an ethical concern – they're a serious business problem that affects your bottom line. But here's the good news: identifying and eliminating these biases isn't just possible – it's a game-changing opportunity for your business.

Who was Ramses II, and why does his reign still fascinate historians today? In this deep dive, we explore the world of ancient Egypt during Ramses' time — from the topography of his empire to the cultural, political, and technological shifts of the Mediterranean. We'll uncover the role of the Phoenicians, the collapse of the Bronze Age, the winners and losers of this turbulent period, the great temples and carvings of Ramses II, the perception of pyramids in his era, and whether biblical accounts align with history. We'll also examine Egypt's economic systems, ancient technology, and the everyday lives of its people — from letters and myths to famine, cannibalism, and climate change.WELCOME TO CAMP!

In this episode of the Digital Pathology Podcast, I take you through the second part of our AI in Pathology series—this time, we're focusing on generative AI and how it's revolutionizing diagnostics, education, and workflow in our field.From synthetic H&E slides that could pass for real to multimodal agents that can read your histology images and chat with you about them—yes, really—this is where digital pathology meets the “bleeding edge” of AI development.We'll also look at real use cases, a synthetic biobank you can trust, and the biases, hallucinations, and ethical minefields that come along for the ride.

Can fathers truly advocate for equal custody without feeling like they're attacking the child's mother? Join us for an insightful conversation with David Pisarra, a seasoned divorce and family lawyer, as we discuss strategies that challenge common misconceptions in child custody battles. David reveals the critical importance of fathers actively demonstrating their involvement and understanding of their children, rather than simply expressing love. With societal shifts moving towards equal custody, David shares practical advice from his book, "Dad's Child Custody Action Plan," including the creation of a "kid inventory" to help fathers articulate their knowledge of their children.The emotional toll of false allegations in custody battles is profound, and David sheds light on the frustrating scenario of being labeled a "Disneyland dad." We dive into how temporary restraining orders can be misused to gain custody advantages, often leaving the accused feeling defeated. Through real-life examples, we highlight the emotional exhaustion these battles can cause and their detrimental effects on both the accused parent and the child. Navigating accusations from individuals with personality disorders demands a strategic and objective approach, and David shares insights on maintaining composure in emotionally charged courtroom settings.Biases in family court systems and the mental health challenges fathers face during custody battles are pervasive issues we address in our conversation. David emphasizes the importance of rebuilding self-esteem and confidence for fathers, drawing on tools like the "Kid Inventory" to foster positive memories.

Jessica Morley, postdoctoral researcher at the Yale Digital Ethics Center joins Faces of Digital Health to discuss the overlooked aspects of AI, including biases, ethical issues, and common misconceptions. AI is not new, magical, or truly intelligent; its roots in healthcare trace back 30 years. While AI is often seen as infallible, it is merely statistical prediction and lacks semantic understanding, which excludes it from genuinely grasping human concepts like pain. Jessica remains skeptically optimistic about AI, noting its potential in scientific advancements and operational efficiency but doubting its transformative impact on diagnostics and patient care. The conversation also highlights the regulatory landscapes in Europe, the UK, and the US, each with varying approaches to AI regulation. Jessica emphasizes the unavoidable nature of bias in AI, advocating for more thoughtful adoption and regulation to ensure AI benefits everyone without deepening biases or relying excessively on surveillance. The discussion concludes with insights into ongoing research aimed at shifting focus from individual health optimization to maximizing population health. 00:00 Introduction to Digital Health and AI 02:21 Debunking Myths About AI 06:13 The Potential and Limitations of AI in Healthcare 11:10 Global Regulatory Landscape for AI in Healthcare 19:36 The Impact of AI on Personalized Medicine 34:41 Addressing Bias and Ethical Concerns in AI 38:39 Future Research and Conclusion www.facesofdigitalhealth.com Newsletter: https://fodh.substack.com/ Youtube: https://youtu.be/jW_p-w39wD8?si=Q34VZdDJPsmzOg44
