Send us Fan MailMoney works best when it supports the life you want to live.Dana Miranda, author, content creator, and money writer joined me on Get Ready Before Life Happens to talk  about what it means to build a healthier, more empowering relationship with money.We explored why traditional money advice often misses the lived experiences of women, people of color, and LGBTQ communities, and how understanding financial tools can replace fear with confidence and choice.Key Takeaways

Welcome to Season 6, Episode 29! We have an incredible returning guest who's back with us for the third time! Karen Yin is the author of several books including The Conscious Style Guide: A Flexible Approach to Language That Includes, Respects, and Empowers (published by Little, Brown Spark). She has also written several stories for children, including Whole Whale (published by Barefoot Books), So Not Ghoul (published by Page Street Kids), Doug the Pug and the Kindness Crew (published by Scholastic), and her latest book Nice to Eat You (published by Scholastic, and released on July 7, 2026) Illustrated by Carolina Coroa, Nice to Eat You is a fun picture book that's full of dark humor and clever word play… a hallmark of much of Karen's work. We think kids and adults will love this Hansel & Gretel-inspired Halloween story about a friendly but sneaky witch who lures a group of children to her house. The story keeps you guessing as to whether the kids are in for a pleasant visit . . . or in danger of becoming the meal. In our conversation, Karen shares her journey to publishing Nice to Eat You, how she helps support the illustration process, why wordplay appeals to her, and a lot more! To follow more of Karen's work you can visit her website karenyin.com, follow her on instagram @karensoffice, and purchase your own copy of Nice to Eat You or any of Karen's other work.

In Part 2 of The Mechanics of Magick: Drumming, Trance, and the Brain, we follow rhythm from the sacred road into the war road and the modern machine. This episode examines war drums, military cadence, synchronized movement, crowd power, ritual physiology, propaganda, slogans, media framing, algorithmic repetition, moral-emotional contagion, and the illusory truth effect. The argument is not that rhythm is evil. The argument is that rhythm is morally flexible and powerful. It can heal, gather, strengthen, command, manipulate, or capture depending on the world built around it. The drum teaches us to hear the visible pulse first, so we can recognize the hidden drums of the modern world: the chant, the slogan, the feed, the notification loop, the soundtrack, the repeated frame, and the rhythm that trains attention before thought has time to speak.Links For The Occult Rejectshttps://linktr.ee/theoccultrejectsOccult Research Institutehttps://www.occultresearchinstitute.org/Substackhttps://substack.com/@theoccultrejects?r=7auau0&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-pageCash Apphttps://cash.app/$theoccultrejectsVenmo@TheOccultRejectsBuy Me A Coffeebuymeacoffee.com/TheOccultRejectsPatreonhttps://www.patreon.com/TheOccultRejectsRhythm, Marching, Synchrony, and the GroupBodyMcNeill, William H. Keeping Together in Time: Dance and Drill in Human History. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1995.Use for dance, drill, marching, synchronized movement, and “muscular bonding.” This is one of the best historical anchors for the claim that moving together in time can help bind human groups through the body. It belongs in the war drum, marching, military cadence, procession, and crowd-power material.Wiltermuth, Scott S., and Chip Heath. “Synchrony and Cooperation.” Psychological Science 20, no. 1 (2009): 1–5.Use for the claim that synchronized action can increase cooperation. This supports the argument that marching, chanting, dancing, and acting in time can alter group attachment and behavior.Hove, Michael J., and Jane L. Risen. “It's All in the Timing: Interpersonal Synchrony Increases Affiliation.” Social Cognition 27, no. 6 (2009): 949–960.Use for interpersonal synchrony and affiliation. This supports the softer social-bonding side of rhythm: people who coordinate timing can feel more connected.Tarr, Bronwyn, Jacques Launay, and Robin I. M. Dunbar. “Music and Social Bonding: ‘Self-Other' Merging and Neurohormonal Mechanisms.” Frontiers in Psychology 5 (2014): 1096.Use for music, synchrony, bonding, self-other merging, endorphins, and why rhythmic group activity can feel socially powerful. This belongs in both crowd sections and the “operator as instrument” material.Reddish, Paul, Ronald Fischer, and Joseph Bulbulia. “Let's Dance Together: Synchrony, Shared Intentionality and Cooperation.” PLOS ONE 8, no. 8 (2013): e71182.Use as extra support for synchrony and cooperation. Good optional source if you want more than Wiltermuth and Heath.Ritual Physiology, Crowd Arousal, and Collective EffervescenceKonvalinka, Ivana, Dimitris Xygalatas, Joseph Bulbulia, Uri Schjødt, Else-Marie Jegindø, Sebastian Wallot, Guy Van Orden, and Andreas Roepstorff. “Synchronized Arousal Between Performers and Related Spectators in a Fire-Walking Ritual.” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 108, no. 20 (2011): 8514–8519.Use for the strongest fire-walking physiology source. This is the study showing synchronized arousal between active ritual performers and related spectators. It supports the claim that intense ritual fields can show up in bodies, not only in symbols.Xygalatas, Dimitris, Ivana Konvalinka, Joseph Bulbulia, and Andreas Roepstorff. “Quantifying Collective Effervescence: Heart-Rate Dynamics at a Fire-Walking Ritual.” Communicative & Integrative Biology 4, no. 6 (2011): 735–738.Use as a shorter interpretive companion to the PNAS fire-walking study. Good for the phrase “collective effervescence” and for explaining shared heart-rate dynamics in accessible language.Xygalatas, Dimitris. Ritual: How Seemingly Senseless Acts Make Life Worth Living. New York: Little, Brown Spark, 2022.Use for ritual, pain, synchrony, group bonding, arousal, and embodied social meaning. This is useful when moving from older ritual containers into modern crowd and spectacle.Hobson, Nicholas M., Juliana Schroeder, Jane L. Risen, Dimitris Xygalatas, and Michael Inzlicht. “The Psychology of Rituals: An Integrative Review and Process-Based Framework.” Personality and Social Psychology Review 22, no. 3 (2018): 260–284.Use for ritual as emotion regulation, performance regulation, social bonding, and formalized action. This supports the “ritual does things, it does not merely represent things” argument.War, Crowds, Mass Movements, and Collective IdentityLe Bon, Gustave. The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind. 1895.Use carefully. Le Bon is historically important for crowd psychology, but outdated and often elitist. Good as a historical source on crowd fear and mass suggestion, but balance it with modern social psychology.Canetti, Elias. Crowds and Power. New York: Viking Press, 1962.Use for a literary-philosophical treatment of crowds, power, command, fear, and collective bodies. Good for atmosphere and conceptual framing, not as a modern experimental source.Hoffer, Eric. The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1951.Use for mass movements, fanaticism, belonging, identity, resentment, sacrifice, and the psychology of ideological devotion. Use carefully; it is sharp and useful, but not a modern empirical study.Tajfel, Henri, and John C. Turner. “An Integrative Theory of Intergroup Conflict.” In The Social Psychology of Intergroup Relations, edited by William G. Austin and Stephen Worchel, 33–47. Monterey, CA: Brooks/Cole, 1979.Use for social identity theory, in-groups, out-groups, belonging, status, and group comparison. This supports the claim that slogans and group language do not only communicate ideas; they also mark identity.Tajfel, Henri. Human Groups and Social Categories: Studies in Social Psychology. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1981.Use as a broader social-identity source. Good for group belonging, categorization, prejudice, and in-group/out-group dynamics.Propaganda, Symbols, Slogans, and Mass CommunicationLasswell, Harold D. Propaganda Technique in the World War. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1927.Use for propaganda as symbolic management, war messaging, enemy construction, morale, and the manipulation of attitudes through stories, reports, images, rumors, and other significant symbols. This is a core Part 2 source.Lasswell, Harold D. “The Theory of Political Propaganda.” The American Political Science Review 21, no. 3 (1927): 627–631.Use for the clean definition: propaganda as the management of collective attitudes through significant symbols. This is perfect for the slogan/crowd/media rhythm sections.Ellul, Jacques. Propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes. Translated by Konrad Kellen and Jean Lerner. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1965.Use for propaganda as a modern social technique, not merely lies. Ellul belongs in the “modern machine” argument because he treats propaganda as environmental, repetitive, social, technological, and tied to belonging.Bernays, Edward. Propaganda. New York: Horace Liveright, 1928.Use for public relations, engineered consent, mass persuasion, and the management of public opinion. Good supporting source, especially if you want advertising and PR to sit beside political propaganda.Herman, Edward S., and Noam Chomsky. Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media. New York: Pantheon Books, 1988.Use if you want a media-system critique: institutional filtering, agenda power, elite framing, and consent formation. This is useful for Part 2 but has a more political-economy angle than the rhythm/trance argument.Media Framing, Agenda-Setting, and Repeated AttentionMcCombs, Maxwell E., and Donald L. Shaw. “The Agenda-Setting Function of Mass Media.” Public Opinion Quarterly 36, no. 2 (1972): 176–187.Use for agenda-setting: media may not tell people exactly what to think, but it can influence what people think about and how important issues feel. This fits the “repetition trains attention” argument.Entman, Robert M. “Framing: Toward Clarification of a Fractured Paradigm.” Journal of Communication 43, no. 4 (1993): 51–58.Use for framing: selecting certain aspects of reality and making them more salient. This supports the section on media frames as secular ritual structures that define problems, causes, moral judgments, and remedies.Gitlin, Todd. The Whole World Is Watching: Mass Media in the Making and Unmaking of the New Left. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1980.Use if you want a historical case study on media framing and protest movements. Good optional source for how movements get shaped, simplified, or distorted by media attention.Postman, Neil. Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business. New York: Viking Penguin, 1985.Use as cultural/media theory support for entertainment, spectacle, image, and public discourse. Useful for the “modern machine” angle, but more essayistic than experimental.Repetition, Familiarity, and the Illusory Truth EffectHasher, Lynn, David Goldstein, and Thomas Toppino. “Frequency and the Conference of Referential Validity.” Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior 16, no. 1 (1977): 107–112.Use for the classic repetition/familiarity basis of the illusory truth effect. This supports the claim that repeated statements can gain perceived validity because they become easier and more familiar to processAlso want to remind people about the website, if you're into reading we have tons of information by multiple contributors, and we got t-shirts up on the site if you're interested.

Hello. J'espère que vous allez bien malgré les températures incendiaires qu'on connaît en ce moment. Hydratez-vous, prenez soin de vos proches.Cet épisode suit un fil conducteur, donc je ne vous conseille pas de sauter d'une partie à une autre, même si je sais que le temps manque. Il n'est pas très long, mais je pense qu'il vaut la peine d'être écouté ou lu en entier.Ce que j'ai compris de ma fatigue (à partir de 01:13)Je me suis rendu compte que j'étais déjà épuisée, d'une certaine manière, alors que mon livre n'est pas encore sorti. Ce n'est pas une fatigue ordinaire, pas le genre « j'ai trop bossé ce trimestre ». C'est plus profond, plus installé. J'ai essayé de comprendre si ce que je vivais avait un nom.Le premier : la racial battle fatigue, théorisée par William A. Smith. Un épuisement psychologique et physiologique qui vient du fait d'exister dans un monde qui agresse en continu, de manière subtile, institutionnelle, au quotidien. Pas une violence spectaculaire, mais l'accumulation. La vigilance permanente. Le fait de devoir sans cesse évaluer ce qui vient de se passer, se demander si c'est raciste, si ça vaut la peine d'en parler, si on va être cru. Ce switch constant entre soi et le regard que le monde pose sur soi.Le deuxième : le burn-out militant, documenté par Gorski et Chen. L'idée que dans le militantisme, on mesure l'engagement à l'aune du travail émotionnel fourni. Et que si on s'effondre, si on dit qu'on est à bout, on est regardé·e bizarrement, parce que le militantisme est censé être désintéressé. On n'a pas trop le droit d'être épuisée quand le sujet est important. Et c'est exactement le piège.Moi, je publie un roman sur des thématiques qui me tiennent à cœur. Je parle de représentation sur Instagram. Et en même temps, j'ai un emploi salarié où je range une partie de moi dans un tiroir en arrivant le matin, parce que les deux mondes ne peuvent pas coexister. Ce phénomène a aussi un nom : le code switching, documenté chez les personnes racisées, les personnes LGBTQIA+, les personnes en situation de handicap. Le fait de devoir adapter, moduler, modifier son langage, son comportement, parfois jusqu'à sa personnalité, selon l'espace où on se trouve pour ne pas subir de conséquences.Dans mon cas concret : dans ma vie d'autrice, j'écris en écriture inclusive aussi souvent que je le peux. Ce n'est pas une posture, c'est une conviction. La neutralité au masculin n'a jamais existé. Point. Mais dans un mail professionnel, dans un contexte institutionnel, c'est impossible. Pas parce que mon employeur s'y opposerait forcément, mais parce que j'écris à des clients à qui je vends une solution, qui n'ont rien demandé, et faire ce choix serait prendre position. Donc je fais autrement. Et mon militantisme reste dans le tiroir.C'est Arlie Hochschild qui avait théorisé cette fatigue cognitive et émotionnelle liée au fait de devoir adapter en permanence son expression à un contexte qui ne correspond pas. Et quand ce switch touche des pratiques militantes, il y a une dissonance supplémentaire entre ce qu'on défend publiquement et ce qu'on fait concrètement dans d'autres espaces de sa vie. Cette dissonance, il faut la gérer. Et elle épuise aussi.L'image qui m'est revenue, c'est Clark Kent au bureau et Superman dans ma vie d'autrice. Sauf que Clark reste une figure de pouvoir et de privilège, et ce que je vis, c'est du concret, c'est politique. C'est encore une forme de double conscience, parce que je me vois à travers le regard d'une société qui ne me reconnaît pas comme étant entière, et je dois habiter deux entités pour tenter de les réconcilier. C'est ce que W.E.B. Du Bois théorisait dans The Souls of Black Folk. Rien de nouveau. Il y a quelque chose de rassurant à savoir que ça a déjà été nommé, contextualisé. Et quelque chose de profondément frustrant à réaliser que ça n'a pas changé, puisque certaines de ces théories remontent à 1903.La littérature académique couvre le code switching au travail, la racial battle fatigue, le burn-out militant. Mais elle ne couvre pas le cas de l'autrice racisée, engagée sur la représentation dans l'édition, qui doit en même temps naviguer ce code switch dans son emploi du temps réel. C'est mon quotidien. Et il n'y a pas encore de carte pour ça. Peut-être qu'un jour quelqu'un prendra le temps de le théoriser. Je me le garde en tête.Désenchantée, mais pas défaitiste (à partir de 09:47)Oui, je suis désenchantée avant même que mon livre sorte. Pas parce que je ne crois plus en ce que j'écris. Mais parce que je comprends de mieux en mieux dans quoi je mets les pieds, et qu'il n'y a pas encore de carte pour naviguer avec ça.Mais le désenchantement a une puissance particulière : il force à prendre conscience de la réalité, à chercher des alternatives, des outils pour continuer d'agir malgré tout.Et l'un de ces outils, c'est se rappeler de ce qui a été fait. Une amie autrice me l'a rappelé récemment. Elle m'a remis face à l'enjeu réel, au-delà du désenchantement systémique de l'édition. Elle m'a rappelé que j'ai réussi à faire sortir un livre qui ne parle ni de racisme ni d'esclavage, écrit par une personne noire française, dans ce contexte politique qu'on connaît. Un livre qui aborde des sujets qui touchent toutes les familles, en particulier les familles afrodescendantes et de la diaspora afro-caribéenne, mais pas seulement, et qui est contemporain dans ses thématiques. Ce n'est pas rien. Et c'est important que je me le rappelle.Elle m'a aussi rappelé que j'appartiens maintenant à quelque chose. J'ai rejoint cette littérature noire française, si petite, aussi fine qu'une peau de chagrin, mais qui existe. Et que c'est le début de quelque chose.Elle m'a dit aussi : aller au-delà de tout ce bruit, de ce désenchantement, des conditions politiques dans lesquelles ce livre va sortir, et mettre de la joie. Elle est d'ailleurs co-autrice d'un ouvrage sur la joie que j'ai acheté il y a deux mois et que je vais enfin prendre le temps de lire. Je vous en parlerai.Juin m'a rincée (à partir de 13:37)La reprise du CDI a été bien plus énergivore que je l'avais anticipé, même si tout se passe très bien et que j'en suis vraiment contente. Merci à toutes les personnes qui m'ont envoyé des messages de soutien, qui ont pris le temps de demander comment ça s'était passé. Ça me touche beaucoup. Et merci aussi pour tous les messages d'anniversaire, c'était le 21 juin. J'avais lancé un jeu concours ce jour-là, il s'est terminé hier pour celles et ceux qui sont sur la newsletter, vous aviez été notifié·es depuis le mois dernier.Malgré le désenchantement, malgré l'épuisement, tout ça participe à me permettre de continuer. Donc merci. Vraiment.Je ne suis pas Hercule. Je ne suis pas Clark Kent. Mais à mon échelle, je pense que je vais y arriver. Mener ces deux vies de front. Ça ne fait que trois semaines, c'est peu pour faire tous les ajustements nécessaires. Mais j'ai confiance.Comment ? En ralentissant. Encore. Toujours. On n'en finit jamais, en réalité.Le repos comme acte de résistance (à partir de 15:14)Lors du dernier book club de l'association Overbookées, on a reçu Isis Labeau Caberia, dont je vous ai déjà parlé. Elle a rappelé quelque chose d'essentiel : le repos est une arme de résistance.Tricia Hersey, fondatrice du Nap Ministry, avait théorisé ça en 2016. L'idée que nous ne nous reposons pas pour être productives, nous nous reposons simplement parce que c'est notre droit. Et elle va plus loin : le repos dans sa forme la plus simple devient un acte de résistance et une reconquête du pouvoir, parce qu'il affirme notre humanité la plus fondamentale.Isis l'a conclu ainsi : peut-être que le monde ira mieux lorsque les femmes noires auront enfin droit au repos.Si vous ne comprenez pas pourquoi cette phrase est importante, je vous renvoie à tout le contenu que je partage sur Instagram et sur ce podcast. Les femmes noires sont à la croisée de toutes les discriminations et de toutes les luttes. Et les femmes noires ne se reposent pas. Ça vient de l'époque de l'esclavage, a minima. Et ça se traduit dans toutes les strates de notre société aujourd'hui.Je vais donc partir en vacances une semaine après mon séminaire d'entreprise de trois jours, qui va sans doute aussi me mettre KO. Je vais me forcer à ralentir, laisser mon cerveau en jachère, juste prendre des notes quand des idées vont surgir parce que ce serait dommage de les laisser filer. Et je vais être cette autrice noire qui jongle entre deux vies dans un contexte politique qui se dégrade, dans une industrie qui ne nous facilite rien, et qui choisit quand même le repos. Pas comme une forme de passivité. Comme un acte nécessaire pour continuer.Le tapis MAHOLA, mon objet totem (à partir de 17:05)J'avais promis un update sur le tapis de yoga Mahola. Le voilà.Je l'aime vraiment. Sans doute parce qu'il est fait main, unique, avec une matière qui se sent sous les doigts. Et sans doute parce que je l'ai choisi pour ses valeurs, qui résonnent avec les miennes. La marque travaille avec du coton biologique tissé à la main dans une logique de réduction d'impact sur la biodiversité tout au long de la chaîne de production. Ils investissent dans des projets de reforestation et de restauration des habitats. Leurs engagements sociaux sont réels : conditions de travail équitables, soutien aux communautés locales avec un focus sur l'Inde notamment. Et la marque est co-créée par une personne d'origine indienne. Ce n'est pas du greenwashing de façade, c'est une démarche cohérente de la culture du coton jusqu'à l'atelier.Ce tapis va être mon objet totem pour me rappeler que le repos est un acte de résistance. Que prendre ce repos, mettre de la joie dans mon quotidien, aller sur ce tapis pour faire des étirements, méditer, visualiser, ou juste être là à ne rien faire, c'est aussi ma forme de militantisme. Et la manière dont je vais aller chercher l'énergie dont j'ai besoin pour tout ce qui arrive.Le repos n'est pas une faiblesse. C'est un outil.Si vous avez envie de tester, il y a en ce moment des soldes sur leur site et j'ai un code promo à votre disposition dans les notes de l'épisode : MAHUNAYOGA, moins 10% sur leur site. Code d'affiliation, donc je reçois aussi une commission sur les achats. Je ne vous oblige à rien, mais comme je vous l'ai dit il y a quelques mois, c'est important pour moi de parler de ce que je mets en place pour prendre soin de ma santé mentale et physique, en particulier en tant que femme noire racisée avec l'endométriose. Si parmi vous il y a d'autres femmes racisées qui jonglent entre plusieurs vies, j'espère que tout ça peut être un début de réflexion, selon votre budget, votre temps, vos envies.Nouvelles lectures et deux nouveaux projets (à partir de 21:08)J'ai ajouté de nouvelles lectures dans ma liste de recommandations d'autrices et auteurs racisé·es sur mon site. J'ai lu de nouveaux ouvrages en juin et je compte bien profiter de cette semaine de vacances pour lire comme jamais, essayer de redevenir cet enfant de 10 ans qui lisait 10 livres par semaine. En juillet il y aura beaucoup plus de recommandations que d'habitude, surveillez la liste.Et avant de terminer, une petite exclusivité : je vous ai déjà dit que j'avais signé un quatrième contrat d'édition. Je vous donne maintenant les noms de code de mes projets en cours.Projet Pichoun : un outil pour tous, qui aborde un sujet tabou.Projet Mangue : une romance au lycée. Une vraie romance.L'un des deux est déjà sous contrat. Je ne vous dis pas lequel. Et pour l'autre, je vous en dis plus bientôt.Bon mois de juillet.

What's the secret to scoring a reservation at a hot new restaurant? When should you enter a lottery to increase your odds of winning? Why did your neighbor's kid get into a nearby preschool while yours didn't? Who gets priority for a life-saving organ donation? These outcomes are not a matter of luck. Instead, they depend on how we navigate hidden markets that arise to decide who gets what when many of us want something and there isn't enough to go around. Every day we play in these markets, yet few of us fully understand how they work. In familiar markets, what we get depends on how much we're willing to pay. Hidden markets do not rely on prices: you can't buy your way in to a better position. Instead, what you receive hinges on the rules by which the market operates, and the choices you make in them. Judd Kessler has spent a career studying and designing these very markets. Now, he reveals the secrets of how they work, and how to maneuver in them. Whether you want to snag a coveted ticket, secure a spot in an oversubscribed college course, get better matches in the dating and job markets, do your fair share of the household chores (but no more), or more efficiently allocate your time and attention, this must-read guide will show you how to get Lucky by Design.

Dr. Laura welcomes Dr. Esther Sternberg, M.D., a Professor, Research Director, Speaker, and Author of the books Well at Work, Healing Spaces, and The Balance Within, to the podcast to talk about wellness at work and how workplace environments impact employees. Dr. Sternberg shares her career journey from her start in medical family practice through to becoming the Research Director at the Andrew Weil Center of Integrative Medicine. She and Dr. Laura talk about what factors impact health and overall wellness at work and how these can be improved.Dr. Sternberg delves into the insights in her book Well at Work and explains the seven domains of integrative health as defined by the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine. Sleep, resilience, environment, movement, relationships, spirituality, and nutrition are the seven domains, and they include things like how quickly we bounce back from stress, how clean our air is, and access to nature. Dr. Laura and Dr. Sternberg examine how office design, environmental location, common spaces that encourage relationships, and even temperature all play a key role in our workplace health. The conversation sheds light on how work isn't simply a place to invest time into productivity, but can positively or negatively impact our overall lives, and how redefining workplaces is a vital part of future discussions. “... if you're feeling too stressed or too activated, you want to do something that will tone down that stress response so you can perform at peak... If you're too stressed, you freeze, you're unable to focus. You're unable to do the job, the task at hand. So what helps you to move that stress response from the extreme danger zone back to performing at peak is places where you can go offline a little bit, where you can effectively meditate even though you're not sitting there with crossed legs in a lotus position in a yoga studio, although having spaces where some people can do that is is also beneficial. But a space, for example, [like] the gardens. To just walk in the gardens, to just take your brain off the computer for a while and focus on the green, on the plants.” - Dr. Esther SternbergAbout Dr. Esther Sternberg, M.D.:Dr. Esther Sternberg is internationally recognized for her discoveries in the science of the mind-body interaction in illness and healing, and the role of place in wellbeing. She is a pioneer and major force in collaborative initiatives on mind-body-stress-wellness and environment interrelationships. A dynamic speaker, she engages her audience with passion for her subject and compassion as a physician. Through stories, she provides listeners with many take-home tips to help them cope with stress and thrive, and to create wellbeing spaces wherever they work or live. Dr. Sternberg's three popular, highly readable, informative, and scientifically based books are inspirations for lay persons and professionals alike, seeking answers to the complexities and 21st-century frontiers of stress, place, healing, and wellness. Her award-winning book, WELL at WORK: Creating Wellbeing in Any Workspace (Little, Brown Spark, 2023) was named a Top Ten Lifestyle Book for Fall 2023 by Publishers Weekly and received the OWL (Outstanding Works of Literature) Longlist Award. Her two previous science-for-the-lay public books, Healing Spaces: The Science of Place and Well-Being and The Balance Within: The Science Connecting Health and Emotions, are landmark in its field. Healing Spaces was recognized by the President of the American Institute of Architects as an inspiration for launching the AIA's Design and Health Initiative and has inspired the implementation of healing spaces in hospitals across the country and around the world. Currently, Research Director, Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine and Founding Director of the University of Arizona Institute on Place, Wellbeing & Performance, she holds the Inaugural Andrew Weil Chair for Research in Integrative Medicine and is a Research Professor of Medicine with joint appointments as Professor in Psychology, Architecture, and Planning & Landscape Architecture, and in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, School of Nutritional Sciences and Wellness. As Senior Scientist and Section Chief, National Institutes of Health (1986-2012), she directed the NIH Integrative Neural Immune Program, Co-Chaired the NIH Intramural Program on Research on Women's Health, and chaired a subcommittee of the NIH Central Tenure Committee. Dr. Sternberg has advised the World Health Organization; the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine; the International WELL Building Institute; the Royal Society, London; the Vatican, where she was presented to Pope Benedict XVI; and has briefed high-level U.S. Federal Government officials, including the Surgeon General, National Institutes of Health leadership, and the Department of Defence. Her two decades-long research with the U.S. General Services Administration, using wearable devices to track health and wellbeing in the built office environment, is informing healthy design standards and COVID re-entry across the federal government and the private sector.Among other honors, she moderated a panel with the Dalai Lama, was recognized by the National Library of Medicine as one of the women who “Changed the Face of Medicine,” served as a member and Chair of NLM's Board of Regents, and received an Honorary Doctorate in Medicine from Trinity College, Dublin, on its 300th Anniversary. She has authored over 240 scholarly articles, edited 10 technical books on the topic of brain-immune connections and design and health, and writes a monthly blog for Psychology Today, it has garnered tens of thousands of readers on subjects including stress and illness, gratitude and wellness, and place and wellbeing. She co-created and hosted the PBS Television Special, The Science of Healing with Dr. Esther Sternberg, and is frequently interviewed in the lay press and media, including NPR, BBC, CBC radio; PBS, ABC, CBS 60 Minutes, Overtime television, the Washington Post, LA Times, U.S. News and World Report, Reader's Digest, Prevention Magazine, The Oprah Magazine, and numerous podcasts, among others.

Super Mario Bros is 40 years old. It's an incredibly simple game (it takes up the same memory as a smartphone wallpaper), yet it's incredibly popular. Over 40 million people have played it. Why? Because it's packed with psychological tips that hook players in and keep them playing. Today, Ramli John explains the subtle behavioural science tricks Super Mario games use to keep us playing. ---  Ramli's book EUREKA: https://www.delightpath.com/book/eureka Ramli's website: https://www.delightpath.com/ Subscribe to the (free) Nudge Newsletter: https://nudge.ck.page/profile Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew/ Watch Nudge on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nudgepodcast/ Visit the new website: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/ ---  Sources:  Alter, A.

Send us a text! (add your email to get a response)Feeling stuck in the same arguments with your partner? Does it feel like a cycle of one of you is chasing and the other is running away? In this episode, we talk about the problematic cycle behind recurring relationship conflicts through the lens of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT).We break down the pursuer-withdrawer dynamic: that frustrating cycle where one person pushes for connection while the other pulls away. What looks like rejection or criticism on the surface actually masks deeper attachment needs and fears. You may be the one desperately trying to get your partner to engage, or one who shuts down when emotions run high.We argue that pursuers and withdrawers are actually fighting for the relationship in their own ways. Drawing from recent EFT research and our personal experiences, these patterns develop from childhood experiences and attachment styles. We also talk about important strategies for breaking this pursue-withdrawal cycle of disconnection. For example, we cover TEMPO framework that helps couples identify what triggers their defensive reactions and how to communicate underlying needs more effectively. We also discuss how co-regulation and vulnerability can break destructive cycles and create deeper connection. **If you are in a relationship with someone struggling with explosive emotions, you may be caught in these destructive cycles.

Dana Miranda is a Certified Educator in Personal Finance®, creator of the Healthy Rich newsletter and author of You Don't Need a Budget: Stop Worrying about Debt, Spend without Shame, and Manage Money with Ease (Little, Brown Spark 2024). She writes about how capitalism impacts the ways we think, teach and talk about money.Dana is the expert behind the nationally syndicated “Dear Penny” financial advice column, a regular contributor to Business Insider, Fortune, CNET Money and Salon, and a founding member of the Kiplinger Advisor Collective.Dana grew up in a working-class family in a small town in Wisconsin. When she joined the ranks of personal finance media in 2015, she found the niche led mostly by advice (and admonitions) from middle-class white men, ignoring the broad diversity of our relationships with work and money. After leaving a leadership position with a popular financial media startup and spending two years as a freelance writer, she created Healthy Rich to change the way we talk about money.

In this episode, Kylee and Zoë explore the complicated history that humans have with alcohol and athletics. We dive into the deep past (shoutout to our simian ancestors!) and see why scientists think humans developed a taste for something that seems counterproductive to passing on our genes (looking at you, Smirnoff blue raspberry). We try to parse out why alcohol is so closely tied to endurance sports and take a deep dive into what the research says about this substance (spoiler alert: three shots of whiskey do NOT make you better at running on a treadmill.)

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.enrakhoger.seVarför är det män som skickar dick pics och inte kvinnor som skickar vagina pics? Varför tycker män att den värsta sortens otrohet är sexuell medan kvinnor känner ett större svek om otroheten snarare är känslomässig? Varför är män och kvinnor så olika när det kommer till sex, dejting och relationer? Och varför fungerar det inte att endast skylla dåliga manliga beteenden på patriarkatet? I sin bok When Men Behave Badly: The Hidden Roots of Sexual Deception, Harassment, and Assault (Little, Brown Spark 2021) svarar evolutionspsykologen David Buss på detta och mycket annat. Den översattes nyligen till svenska med titeln Toxisk maskulinitet: varför män beter sig illa (Fri tanke 2023). Här intervjuar jag honom om detta och mycket annat.Nedan följer en något kortad transkribering av samtalet.(Detta är en repris. Avsnittet publicerades ursprungligen den 21 augusti 2021.)

Dr. Arline T. Geronimus coined the term “weathering” to describe the effects of systemic oppression—including racism and classism—on the body. In 2023, she published Weathering: The Extraordinary Stress of Ordinary Life in an Unjust Society to shine a light on the topic and offer a roadmap for hope. This summer, she joined us at the 2024 NCA Leadership Conference to share her research with child abuse professionals who have dedicated themselves to helping children go on to live happy, healthy lives. This is the conversation Dr. Geronimus had with Teresa Huizar, the CEO of National Children's Alliance and host of One in Ten podcast, in a plenary session at the conference. Topics in this episode:Origin story – 03:15What is weathering? – 10:10Physiological stress (not just three minutes of terror on the savannah) – 17:12When weathering starts – 28:33Our expectations of caregivers – 33:16Cost of resiliency – 40:20Solutions – 54:16 Links:Arline T.

The neighborhoods we live in impact our lives in so many ways: they determine who we know, what resources and opportunities we have access to, the quality of schools our kids go to, our sense of security and belonging, and even how long we live. Yet too many of us live in neighborhoods plagued by rising crime, school violence, family disintegration, addiction, alienation, and despair. Even the wealthiest neighborhoods are not immune; while poverty exacerbates these challenges, they exist in zip codes rich and poor, rural and urban, and everything in between. In Fragile Neighborhoods: Repairing American Society, One Zip Code at a Time (Little, Brown Spark, 2023), fragile states expert Seth D. Kaplan offers a bold new vision for addressing social decline in America, one zip code at a time. By revitalizing our local institutions—and the social ties that knit them together—we can all turn our neighborhoods into places where people and families can thrive. Readers will meet the innovative individuals and organizations pioneering new approaches to everything from youth mentoring to affordable housing: people like Dreama, a former lawyer whose organization works with local leaders and educators in rural Appalachia to equip young people with the social support they need to succeed in school; and Chris, whose Detroit-based non-profit turns vacant school buildings into community resource hubs. Along the way, Kaplan offers a set of practical lessons to inspire similar work, reminding us that when change is hyperlocal, everyone has the opportunity to contribute. Seth D. Kaplan, Ph.D. is a leading expert on fragile states. He is a Professorial Lecturer in the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at Johns Hopkins University, Senior Adviser for the Institute for Integrated Transitions (IFIT), and consultant to multilateral organizations such as the World Bank, U.S. State Department, U.S. Agency for International Development, and OECD as well as developing country governments and NGOs.

In Tree Thieves: Crime and Survival in North America's Woods (Little, Brown Spark, 2022), Lyndsie Bourgon takes us deep into the underbelly of the illegal timber market. As she traces three timber poaching cases, she introduces us to tree poachers, law enforcement, forensic wood specialists, the enigmatic residents of former logging communities, environmental activists, international timber cartels, and indigenous communities along the way. Old-growth trees are invaluable and irreplaceable for both humans and wildlife, and are the oldest living things on earth. But the morality of tree poaching is not as simple as we might think: stealing trees is a form of deeply rooted protest, and a side effect of environmental preservation and protection that doesn't include communities that have been uprooted or marginalized when park boundaries are drawn. As Bourgon discovers, failing to include working class and rural communities in the preservation of these awe-inducing ecosystems can lead to catastrophic results. Featuring excellent investigative reporting, fascinating characters, logging history, political analysis, and cutting-edge tree science, Tree Thieves takes readers on a thrilling journey into the intrigue, crime, and incredible complexity sheltered under the forest canopy. Lyndsie Bourgon is a writer, oral historian, and 2018 National Geographic Explorer based in British Columbia. She writes about the environment and its entanglement with history, culture, and identity. Her features have been published in The Atlantic, Smithsonian, the Guardian, the Oxford American, Aeon, The Walrus, and Hazlitt, among other outlets. Twitter. Website.

Nicholas Christakis is the Sterling Professor of Social and Natural Science at Yale University, where he is also Director of the Human Nature Lab and Co-Director of the Yale Institute for Network Science. Nicholas is both a sociologist and a physician; after completing his undergraduate at Yale in biology, he received an M.D. and M.P.H. from Harvard and then a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Pennsylvania. Nicholas has written numerous books, including Apollo's Arrow: The Profound and Enduring Impact of Coronavirus on the Way We Live (Little, Brown Spark, 2020) and Blueprint: The Evolutionary Origins of a Good Society (Little, Brown Spark, 2019), and this latter book is the subject of this episode. Robinson and Nicholas first discuss the way that genetics manifest themselves in behavior before turning to the way that specific behaviors and tendencies have evolved in humans to promote the flourishing of societies. They then talk about some particular such behaviors and tendencies, like in-group bias and hierarchy, before turning to some implications of the view for how societies ought or ought not to be structured.

Today, Debbie re-runs the single most popular of 100+ episodes of [B]OLDER. Exactly two years ago, in the spring of 2021, she asked plague expert Nicholas Christakis, a distinguished Yale professor and author,  the burning question: when will the COVID-19 pandemic end? His answer: 2024. It startled her and burst her bubble of optimism. Vaccines were widely available by then and it seemed like the beginning of the end. Surely he was exaggerating how long it would take for the COVID pandemic to wind down? No, it was only the end of the beginning, he told her.Today that makes sense. And of course, it was prescient.Tune into a re-run of one of the most fascinating episodes of [B]OLDER. (Note that Debbie refers to it as The Gap Year Podcast, the name she gave the podcast during the height of the pandemic. It's now the [B]OLDER podcast. Same podcast; different name.) SHOW NOTES from the original interview with Nicholas Christakis (May 7, 2021)Nicholas Christakis, MD, PhD, MPH, and a Sterling Professor at Yale, has been named to TIME magazine's list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. His fluency in explaining the intertwined science, epidemiology, psychology, sociology and history of pandemics - and his sense of humor - make this a compelling episode. You'll hear why he chose to publish his latest book, Apollo's Arrow, in the fall of 2020, before we knew the end of the story of COVID-19How his childhood experiences with illness and death affected his career choicesWhat the predictable three phases of a pandemic are (in 2021 we were still in the immediate phase)Why he thinks this pandemic won't be over until 2024They also talked about separating the biological vs. the psychological impacts of the pandemicWhat herd immunity actually means and whether we'll get thereAnd what the public health messaging around the pandemic should beDebbie asks him point blank: when is the next pandemic? The answer is unnerving – sooner than you might think. About Nicholas ChristakisWikipediaTwitterYale UniversityTed TalksHuman Nature Lab at Yale Books by Nicholas ChristakisApollo's Arrow: The Profound and Enduring Impact of Coronavirus on the Way We Live by Nicholas Christakis (Little, Brown Spark 2020)Blueprint: The Evolutionary Origins of a Good Society by Nicholas Christakis (Little, Brown Spark 2019)Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks and How They Shape Our Lives by Nicholas Christakis (Little, Brown Spark 2009)Death Foretold: Prophecy and Prognosis in Medical Care by Nicholas Christakis (University of Chicago Press, 2001) Articles and interviewsThe New York Times Book Review: The Pandemic's Future — and Ours (NYT Book Review of Apollo's Arrow, November 3, 2020)A year of COVID: Making sense of an ‘alien and unnatural' time (Yale News, March 4, 2021)Epidemiologist looks to the past to predict second post-pandemic ‘roaring 20s' (The Guardian, December 21, 2020)Denial And Lies Are ‘Almost An Intrinsic Part Of An Epidemic,' Doctor Says (NPR, October 29, 2020)The pandemic is as much about society, leaders, and values as it is about a pathogen (Science Mag, November 17, 2020)The Importance of Being Little: What Young Children Really Need from Grownups by Erika Christakis (Penguin Books 2016)Remote Learning Isn't the Only Problem With School (The Atlantic, December 2020)The COVID-19 Pandemic and the $16 Trillion Virus by Larry H.

We've all heard stories of women who've created content for the internet - a blog or viral social media post - and then turned it into a book. Take the example of Julie Powell, who decided to cook all of Julia Child's recipes in a single year and publish the results to her blog. It landed over 400,000 views and ended up leading to a movie called Julie and Julia. More recently, Rachel Hollis created a social media post with a photo of her stretch marks, with the comment that she was proud and would not be shamed by them. The sentiment resonated so much with women readers that she ended up writing a book, Girl, Stop Apologizing, and later, Girl, Wash Your Face, which were unbelievably successful in sales on the New York Times bestsellers list. You hear stories like this and it makes you wonder, could that really happen to a real person? Could it happen to me? Today's guest, Dana Miranda, is here to share how it really happened to her, and what we can learn from her experience.

She's the founder of Healthy Rich, a platform for inclusive, budget-free financial education, working with organizations, schools and companies dedicated to making money better for folks who are often left out of the conversation about money. Her approach to financial education lends an antidote to pervasive budget culture, a damaging set of beliefs that rewards restriction and deprivation and promotes an unhealthy and fantastical ideal of financial wellness. Dana grew up in a working-class family in a small town in Wisconsin. Upon joining the world of personal finance media in 2015, she quickly discovered that the niche was led mostly by advice (and admonitions) from middle-class white men, ignoring the broad diversity of our relationships with work and money. After leaving a leadership position with a popular financial media startup and spending two years as a freelance writer, Dana created Healthy Rich to start a new kind of conversation about money. She has written about work and money for Forbes, Insider, Culture Study, the New York Times, CNBC, The Motley Fool, NextAdvisor, and Inc. magazine, among others.Love the show?

We've all heard stories of women who've created content for the internet - a blog or viral social media post - and then turned it into a book. Take the example of Julie Powell, who decided to cook all of Julia Child's recipes in a single year and publish the results to her blog. It landed over 400,000 views and ended up leading to a movie called Julie and Julia. More recently, Rachel Hollis created a social media post with a photo of her stretch marks, with the comment that she was proud and would not be shamed by them. The sentiment resonated so much with women readers that she ended up writing a book, Girl, Stop Apologizing, and later, Girl, Wash Your Face, which were unbelievably successful in sales on the New York Times bestsellers list.

Ritual is one of the oldest, and certainly most enigmatic, threads in the history of human culture. It presents a profound paradox: people ascribe the utmost importance to their rituals, but few can explain why they are so important. Apparently pointless ceremonies pervade every documented society, from handshakes to hexes, hazings to parades. Before we ever learned to farm, we were gathering in giant stone temples to perform elaborate rites and ceremonies. And yet, though rituals exist in every culture and can persist nearly unchanged for centuries, their logic has remained a mystery—until now. In Ritual: How Seemingly Senseless Acts Make Life Worth Living (Little, Brown Spark, 2022), pathfinding scientist Dimitris Xygalatas leads us on an enlightening tour through this shadowy realm of human behavior. Armed with cutting-edge technology and drawing on discoveries from a wide range of disciplines, he presents a powerful new perspective on our place in the world. In birthday parties and coronations, in silent prayer, in fire-walks and terrifying rites of passage, in all the bewildering variety of human life, Ritual reveals the deep and subtle mechanisms that bind us together.

Today I talked to Ayelet Fishbach about her book Get It Done: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation (Little, Brown Spark, 2022) The key to motivating yourself is to change your circumstances. You can do so by the goals you set, how you accept feedback in pursuing them, the flexibility you show in making progress, and how well you leverage social support. Each of those four aspects has its own pitfalls, and today's interview explores in depth a number of challenges. To harness the value of intrinsic motivation, can you stay attuned to the values and benefits that matter to you most? Likewise, can you demonstrate patience—not giving in to temptation or ceasing to engage because you don't trust that the benefits you count on will actually be there at the end of the journey? Dr. Fishbach offers insights on all of these issues, and more, in a manner that recognizes the vulnerabilities people contend with daily. Dr. Ayelet Fishbach is an award-winning psychologist at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and the past president of the Society for the Science of Motivation. Her scientific findings are regularly featured in the media, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, CNN, and NPR. Dan Hill, PhD, is the author of ten books and leads Sensory Logic, Inc. (https://www.sensorylogic.com). His latest two books are Blah Blah Blah: A Snarky Guide to Office Lingo and Emotionomics 2.0: The Emotional Dynamics Underlying Key Business Goals. Learn more about your ad choices.

Host Kate Carpenter interviews author Lyndsie Bourgon. Lyndsie is a journalist and oral historian, and her first book, Tree Thieves: Crime and Survival in North America's Woods, was published by Little, Brown Spark in 2022 and examines the past and present of tree poaching. More broadly, Lyndsie writes about the environment and its entanglement with history, culture, and identity. I was delighted to have the chance to ask Lyndsie about her approach to oral histories in this book, bringing empathy to a complex topic, and how she her background as a journalist and training as an oral historian come together.
