Crise climatique, montée des autoritarismes, IA, fractures sociales, incertitude géopolitique.La peur est partout. Et si, au lieu de la fuir, on apprenait à l'utiliser ?Dans cet épisode solo, je pars de mes propres angoisses – celles qui réveillent à 3h du matin – pour interroger une idée simple mais radicale : la peur n'est pas une faiblesse, c'est un signal.Et parfois, un moteur.Nous vivons une époque de polycrises : climat, eau, biodiversité, inégalités, démocratie, géopolitique, technologie, démographie.Ce n'est pas une impression. Ce n'est pas une hystérie collective.C'est notre réalité.Face à ça, nous avons développé trois réflexes :le nihilisme passif (“on est foutus, autant profiter”),l'indignation permanente (qui donne bonne conscience mais n'engage rien),l'optimisme béat (“la technologie va nous sauver”).Aucun ne tient vraiment.Dans cet épisode solo de Vlan, je propose une autre voie :- prendre la peur au sérieux,- comprendre ce qu'elle nous dit et la transformer en élan d'action.Je m'appuie sur plusieurs penseurs – Thomas Hobbes, Baruch Spinoza, Aristote, Erich Fromm – pour montrer une chose essentielle : historiquement et philosophiquement, la peur a toujours été un moteur de coopération, de création et de civilisation.On parle de :pourquoi notre peur est rationnelle,pourquoi vouloir la supprimer est une erreur,pourquoi nous ne sommes pas égaux face à elle,comment l'action agit comme une catharsis,et comment le conatus – cet élan vital décrit par Spinoza – continue d'agir en nous, même quand tout semble bloqué.Ce n'est pas un épisode de développement personnel.Ce n'est pas un épisode “solutions miracles”.C'est une tentative honnête de répondre à une question centrale de notre époque :que faire de notre peur, quand le monde devient objectivement inquiétant ?Citations marquantes« La peur n'est pas notre ennemie. C'est un moteur de transformation. »« Le grand mensonge, c'est de croire que la peur est une faiblesse. »« Nous ne sommes pas faits pour affronter seuls les grandes épreuves. »« Le conatus ne demande pas la permission au contexte pour exister. »« Ce qui vous fait peur révèle ce qui compte pour vous. »Idées centrales discutées

Why do the people you thought knew you best stay silent—or worse, side with the person who hurt you? This secondary betrayal often cuts deeper than the narcissistic behavior itself. Switzerland friends insist on neutrality while your pain makes them uncomfortable. Flying monkeys carry your vulnerability straight back to your abuser. When you finally name what's happening and the people closest to you rush to minimize or report back, your nervous system doesn't just register disappointment—it registers danger. Tony walks through why "I don't want to take sides" isn't actually neutral, how flying monkeys weaponize your words, and the exhausting ping-pong match of trying to be understood by people who need not to understand you in order to feel safe themselves. In this episode, you'll learn: The critical difference between Switzerland friends (who neutralize) and flying monkeys (who expose)—and why both leave you questioning reality How narcissistic systems hijack co-regulation, making everyone responsible for stabilizing the most emotionally immature person in the room Why your body's response after sharing something vulnerable is better data than the words exchanged The five ways narcissists regulate their nervous systems through you: superiority, victimhood, being right, being admired, and being defended How to stop "auditioning for belief" and start choosing relationships that can actually hold emotional weight Drawing from over 20 years of couples therapy and thousands of real conversations, Tony offers a framework for recognizing when explanation has replaced connection—and why the most regulated thing you can say is simply, "I know what I experienced." Ready to stop offering your nervous system as a resource to people who won't protect it?

In this Smart Real Estate Coach master's class, I'm bringing back Brandon Cobb, founder of FBG Capital and host of Recession Resistant Real Estate Radio, to walk you through one of the most powerful and least taught niches in the business: entitling land for national homebuilders and turning dirt into 6–7 figure paydays.     Brandon shares how getting fired from his dream medical device job pushed him into entrepreneurship, why your W-2 is actually your biggest risk, and how he built a land development model where Wall Street-backed builders like Lennar, Pulte, D.R. Horton and others line up to buy his approved projects. We break down his three-phase entitlement process, why he never buys land until approvals are in place, what a typical 15-month entitlement timeline and $500K+ profit deal looks like, and who his Learn Land Development mastermind is actually for (hint: not brand-new investors or "no money down" thinkers).    If you've been looking for a way to do bigger deals without swinging hammers yourself, this episode will open your eyes to a niche that works in every real estate asset class.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:31 Recession Resistant Real Estate Radio 02:24 From dream job to "accidental entrepreneur" 03:35 Lessons from losing his dream job 04:51 Fast-forward: from hustling to large land deals with national builders 06:05 Why you can't rely on a single employer anymore 07:01 The opportunity in selling land to big developers 08:25 The "fastest-growing secret" niche in real estate 11:20 Working on a minimum of 50 units per project 12:50 Phase 1: Learn what the city wants & target the right land 14:05 Phase 2: Contract & entitlements (contingent on approvals) 16:18 Phase 3: Negotiate the best possible deal with your end buyer 17:36 Concept plan: aligning the city and the builder before spending big money 18:21 Resources: Skool community + training + coaching 19:01 Training Section #1: Land Development Blueprint 19:25 Training Section #2: Capital Raising Machine 19:46 Training Section #3: Weekly group coaching calls & in-person project walks 20:25 Land entitlement: Not an entry-level, no-money-down program 22:00 3 main exit paths for entitled land 24:22 Free course: LearnLandDevelopment.com   Quotables   "Nobody was going to look out for my financial well-being but me."   "We never buy anything.

We welcome back Andrew Sillifant, Solution Director at Pure Storage, for a deep dive into the concept of data gravity. We start with the traditional 2010 definition coined by Dave McCrory—that data accumulates, making it harder to move, and forcing dependent systems to cluster nearby. However, Andrew presents his core thesis, arguing that this foundational principle is no longer sufficient in a world of exploding complexity. Our conversation emphasizes the need to re-examine data gravity through a modern lens, acknowledging the massive shift to cloud computing and the proliferation of interconnected systems over the last decade. Andrew introduces five crucial dimensions that now describe data's impact: Volume, redefined by context and classification; Dependency, now accelerated by API calls, integration points, and AI agents; Criticality, which includes regulations, security, and implicit SLAs; Velocity, measured by how many functions data is used for; and Latency, complicated by geographic requirements that skew response times. These dimensions highlight how non-physical constraints, like egress fees and data sovereignty laws, create artificial friction that compounds the problem beyond sheer data size. Our discussion concludes with a new framework of five sources of data gravity that IT leaders must address: Technical Gravity (the physical component and mobility), Economic Gravity (the costs of hosting and moving data, like egress fees), Regulatory Gravity (compliance and legal restrictions), Institutional Gravity (the dependency on a small number of people who know how to manage old systems), and Measurement Gravity (budgeting and decision-making risks). Finally, Andrew connects these challenges to Pure Storage, noting how platform features like deduplication and continuous innovation are actively working to lessen the effects of data gravity for customers.

In this episode of A Whole New Level, Christopher Gardner, PhD, joins Mike to discuss his decades in nutrition research, the challenges of conducting randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on diet, and how to communicate complex science to the public. Gardner has led some of the most rigorous research ever comparing dietary approaches in real-world conditions, so his insights about what works (cutting processed food and sugar) and what doesn't (obsessing about macronutrients) are worth a listen. Sign Up to Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: https://levels.link/wnlIn this episode, we cover:What a nutritional interventionist is – someone who studies people who are asked to change their diet, tracking them and taking samples to see what might have changed.How to square widely-accepted lessons about nutrition (i.e., junk food=bad) with the high degree of individuality in diets that work.The concept of "equipoise" in study design, which means making sure both diets being compared are well-represented versions of that diet (e.g., a "kick butt diet A and a crappy diet B" is avoided).The dilemma of communicating single-study results to the public and the role of the Netflix documentary on Gardner's famous twin study in making science engaging.Dr. Gardner's experience on the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee and the methodology used to reach conclusions.The focus on ultra-processed foods and the need to message the consensus points of eating more whole foods and vegetables, and avoiding added sugar and refined grains.The learnings from the DIETFITS study, which compared low-carb and low-fat diets among 600 people for a year, and why there was more variation among people within a diet than between the two diets.

Big Shot Bob and the team dive deep into various hot topics in sports. Starting with a heated discussion about Clemson’s Dabo Swinney calling out other teams for tampering with his players, Big Shot Bob contends that while Dabo has a point, the NCAA’s lack of rules makes it a lawless environment. The conversation shifts to the adverse effects of the transfer portal on high school athletes' recruitment, emphasizing how the portal's existence has complicated the traditional process of getting into college sports.   The episode also covers Deion Sanders' new rules at Colorado, where he implements monetary penalties for player infractions, igniting a debate on the fairness and feasibility of such fines for college athletes who may not be making significant NIL money. The hosts argue whether it’s a fair method of discipline or if it could potentially push players to transfer out. Additionally, the notion of potential trades for college players surfaces, with the crew discussing the complexities and unlikely feasibility of such trades given the current state of college athletics.   Towards the end, the show explores the longevity of players in the modern NBA, citing how current stars like LeBron James and Stephen Curry continue to excel well into their late 30s and early 40s. The hosts contrast this with older generations, attributing the shift to improved fitness regimes and a more offensively driven game. They wrap up with a light-hearted segment about sentimental items that have stood the test of time, sharing personal stories of cherished belongings, from old clothes to long-lived cars, bringing a humorous and nostalgic close to the episode.   00:00 Introduction and Host Greetings 00:58 Dabo Swinney's Rant on Tampering 01:42 NCAA's Lack of Guardrails 02:32 Accountability in College Sports 03:24 Coaches vs. Players: Double Standards 07:16 Impact of Transfer Portal on High School Recruits 10:18 NIL Deals and Player Fines 14:37 The Future of College Sports: Collective Bargaining and Unionization 15:17 The Concept of Trading College Players 17:04 Aging NBA Stars: Performance and Longevity 19:49 Will We See Another 73-9 Season? 21:15 The Emotional Attachment to Personal Belongings

Why is dating broken?  Why are young men flooding back to church?  In this conversation, I sit down with Patrick Coffin: Catholic broadcaster, close-up magician, and host of The Patrick Coffin Show. We go deep on the real reasons relationships are falling apart: and it goes back further than you think. We cover:  → Why dating is a failed concept (and what humans actually need)  → The 3 "divorces" that broke Western civilization  → How your image of God shapes your attachment style  → Why empaths and narcissists can't stop finding each other  → The difference between emotional permanence and emotional impermanence  → What the Traditional Latin Mass has to do with secure attachment  → Why "spiritual but not religious" is code for "I don't want to be challenged"  → The biochemistry of feeling loved (oxytocin, vasopressin, and cortisol)  → How to repair after conflict: the skill most families lost 120 years ago Plus: Patrick performs a live magic trick that lands. This is the intersection of faith, neuroscience, and attachment theory: the stuff that actually changes how you bond.

Sanctification Explained: Sanctification is the ongoing process of becoming more like God, involving a change in one's nature, thoughts, and desires over time, as individuals strive to live in accordance with their covenants. The Role of Grace: Grace is central to understanding both justification and sanctification. It emphasizes that salvation is a gift from God, not solely based on individual works, and that individuals can have confidence in their justified state. Addressing Perfectionism: Many Latter-day Saints struggle with perfectionism, often feeling unworthy despite understanding the doctrine. The conversation highlights the importance of recognizing one’s worth as inherent and not solely based on actions. Mental Health Considerations: The discussion touches on the intersection of mental health and religious beliefs, particularly regarding OCD and scrupulosity, emphasizing the need for compassion and understanding in addressing these issues. Leadership Applications Fostering a Culture of Grace: Leaders can create an environment where members feel secure in their justified state, encouraging them to engage in the gospel without the burden of shame or guilt. Understanding Individual Needs: By recognizing that unmet needs may drive certain behaviors, leaders can approach members with empathy, focusing on support rather than judgment. Promoting Continuous Growth: Leaders should emphasize the importance of striving for sanctification, framing commandments and ordinances as opportunities for growth rather than as mere obligations, thus inspiring members to engage more fully in their spiritual journeys.

What if the future of leadership is not about control, performance, or certainty but about surrender, trust, and belief?In this deeply soulful episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, Tobi sits down with global leadership strategist, keynote speaker, and Culture Partners Chief Strategy Officer Dr. Jessica Kriegel to explore what it truly means to lead from the inside out.Jessica is the co-author of the upcoming book Surrender to Lead and has advised Fortune 100 organisations around the world.

This conversation is a profound invitation for leaders to let go of fear, release the need to control, and lead with courage, authenticity, and meaning.In this episode, you will discover:Why beliefs, not strategies, shape leadership cultureWhat surrender really means in leadership and lifeHow imposter syndrome can become a doorway to growthWhy burnout is a personal responsibility, not just a workplace problemHow the Shift Model helps leaders move from fear to empowermentWhat trust-based leadership looks like in actionHow storytelling and experience shape mindset and resultsThis episode is for leaders, founders, coaches, and change-makers who are ready to stop forcing outcomes and start leading with alignment.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Leadership Philosophy06:30 The Concept of Surrender in Leadership13:34 Shaping Beliefs Through Experience19:14 The Power of Storytelling in Leadership19:27 Ego vs. Love in Leadership21:50 Navigating Imposter Syndrome26:25 The Shift Model: From Fear to Empowerment31:04 The 'Yes, And' Philosophy34:39 Taking Accountability for Burnout38:46 Four Questions to Overcome Limiting BeliefsGuest ResourceWebsite: https://culturepartners.comYour transformation begins the moment you decide to look within.Let this book walk with you.

In this candid solo episode, Jesse walks through a series of financial decisions that look "wrong" on paper but make complete sense when viewed through the lens of real life, values, and tradeoffs. Using personal examples, he challenges the idea that optimal spreadsheets should always dictate behavior, arguing instead that financial planning exists to support a life well lived—not to win theoretical efficiency contests. Jesse explains why holding excess cash even when expected returns favor investing, and prioritizing flexibility and simplicity over marginal tax optimization. Throughout the episode, he dismantles the myth that good planning means eliminating all inefficiency, emphasizing that peace of mind, optionality, and behavioral alignment often outweigh incremental gains. By reframing "dumb" financial moves as intentional choices made with eyes wide open, Jesse encourages listeners to separate true financial mistakes from decisions that are simply mismatched to someone else's values or risk tolerance—and to give themselves permission to choose what actually works for their lives. Key Takeaways: • Not all financially "inefficient" decisions are mistakes. Optimization often ignores behavioral and emotional realities. • Taking care of a low interest loan can offer peace of mind—despit better returns often being found in investments. • Leasing a car or renting a home may be the right move—depending on the situation. • Using an HSA early may seem like a bad idea, but it could help reduce stress elsewhere in our financial lives. • Being a "lazy investor" is often better than being a complicated investor. • Spreadsheets cannot fully capture human behavior. A "good" decision can look bad to outsiders and still be right.

Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and in this episode I sit down with Alexandra Beller to dive deep into the role of movement in theater and performance.Alexandra breaks down how movement evolves organically through collaboration between actors, directors, and designers. She explains how the actor's body, the director's vision, and the text itself all interact to create a fully realized performance. Rather than treating movement as something added on, Alexandra emphasizes how it emerges naturally when those elements are truly in dialogue with one another.She shares insight into analyzing character dynamics and highlights the importance of timing in dialogue. Using examples from television, Alexandra contrasts the rapid-fire rhythm of shows like Gilmore Girls with the more spacious, emotionally driven pacing of This Is Us, illustrating how tempo and rhythm shape audience response.Alexandra also discusses the significance of space onstage—how proximity, distance, and physical orientation can deeply influence emotional stakes and storytelling. Her approach offers practical tools for actors to make clearer, more grounded choices that resonate with audiences.Whether you're an aspiring actor or a seasoned performer, this conversation is packed with valuable techniques to deepen your craft. Join us as Alexandra Beller reveals how movement, timing, and physical awareness can bring authenticity, clarity, and emotional power to performance.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:17 - The Evolution of Movement00:01:36 - The Importance of Timing00:02:27 - Stylization and Its Impact00:04:38 - The Role of Space00:05:20 - Reading Characters00:06:14 - Understanding Body Language00:07:22 - The Role of the Director00:07:57 - The Balance Between Instinct and Analysis00:09:14 - Nonverbal Communication and Characterization00:11:21 - Experiencing Film in a Meditative State00:12:53 - The Influence of Different Forms of Theater00:13:55 - The Concept of Constellatory Thinking00:15:28 - Working with Directors00:17:28 - Choreography and Directing00:18:58 - Theater and Cultural Influence00:21:18 - Praxis Space: A Creative Community00:21:20 - The Anatomy of Art: A New Book00:29:59 - Daily Routines and Practices00:31:15 - Personal Health and Fitness00:31:30 - Reading and Learning Preferences00:32:07 - Music Interests00:32:53 - Current TV Shows and Movies00:33:23 - Discussion on Superman Movie00:36:29 - Contact and Course InformationCheck out her website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.alexandrabellerdances.org/

This is a Q&A session from the Soul Searchers Retreat. Acharya das delivers a comprehensive discussion on spiritual life versus material life, emphasizing the fundamental distinction between material consciousness (identifying with the physical body) and spiritual consciousness (recognizing oneself as an eternal spiritual being). He explains that material life is founded on the belief that "I am material," while spirituality recognizes "I'm an eternal spiritual being." A wide range of topics were addressed (as you can see from the chapters listed below) including the concept of karma yoga which was introduced as a process of integrating life activities with spiritual practice by offering all actions as service to a higher spiritual reality. **************************************CHAPTERS‎ 00:00 Distinguishing Material and Spiritual Life02:39 The Concept of Karma Yoga 04:09 The Bhagavad Gita: Arjuna's Dilemma‎05:42 Arjuna's Breakdown and Krishna's Response08:24 Krishna's Teaching on Duty and Nature09:46 The Radical Teaching of Spiritual Action11:23 The Lesson of Utilizing Our Tools12:42 The Fundamental Shift in Consciousness14:06 Two Schools of Thought: Traditional vs. Advaita15:43 Critique of the "I Am God" Philosophy17:05 Qualitative Oneness vs. Quantitative Difference18:31 The Complete Whole Principle21:40 The Appeal of False God-Realization22:58 Three Aspects of Self-Realization23:56 The Inevitable Fall from Impersonal Realization25:37 Three Features of the Absolute Truth27:30 The Nature of Transcendental Connection29:40 Comparing Levels of Transcendental Happiness31:27 Rejection of Blind Faith32:42 The Problem of Consciousness Filters33:26 Indescribable Spiritual Delights‎34:52 The Importance of Questioning35:46 Proper vs. Improper Questioning37:07 The Problem of False Self-Importance39:32 Three Authorities in Vedic System41:00 Internal Spiritual Guidance‎43:17 Alignment of Spiritual Authorities45:13 Universal Accessibility of Spiritual Realization46:19 Divine Assistance for Sincere Seekers48:05 Recognition of Spiritual Truth49:30 Encouragement and Final Thoughts50:35 Kirtan Meditation**************************************

Dans cet épisode solo qui est une lecture de ma newsletter , je poursuis une réflexion entamée dans ma dernière newsletter et dans le précédent épisode : comment redonner envie du futur dans un monde qui semble chaque jour plus incertain, plus complexe, parfois même invivable.J'ai questionné les trois grandes voies que j'ai explorées ces dernières années : le développement personnel, la connaissance intellectuelle, et la quête de sens. Et j'ai compris pourquoi, malgré leur utilité, elles montrent aujourd'hui leurs limites.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de connativité, ce concept peu connu issu de Spinoza et validé par les neurosciences, qui désigne notre capacité à persévérer dans l'existence, à avancer malgré tout, même sans comprendre parfaitement. C'est peut-être là la clé : ne pas tant chercher à comprendre qu'à retrouver l'élan.J'ai voulu un épisode incarné, profond, qui résonne avec ce que beaucoup ressentent sans forcément savoir le nommer. Mon espoir : que vous puissiez y trouver une brèche, une étincelle, un début d'envie.Citations marquantes« Le futur n'appartient pas à ceux qui le comprennent, mais à ceux qui le désirent. »« Ce n'est pas ce qu'il vous manque qui pose problème, c'est ce qui vous encombre. »« Le développement personnel repose sur l'idée toxique que vous n'êtes pas assez. »« L'optimalisme donne une permission : celle d'espérer sans se mentir. »« Peut-être que le problème, ce n'est pas qu'on manque d'information, mais d'élan. »4. Idées centrales discutées (Big Ideas)1. Les limites du développement personnel – [~02:30]Il individualise des problèmes systémiques et repose sur l'idée que nous devons nous "réparer".2. La connaissance ne suffit pas – [~10:50]Comprendre le monde, oui. Mais sans débouché actionnable, la lucidité peut mener à l'épuisement.3. Le sens perd sa force quand le futur est invivable – [~15:50]Viktor Frankl, Simon Sinek : leurs approches supposent un futur désirable. Ce n'est plus évident aujourd'hui.4. L'optimalisme comme posture – [~18:00]Être optimiste sans naïveté, réaliste sans cynisme. Mais cela reste une posture, pas un mouvement.5. Le conatus comme clé oubliée – [~20:45]Concept spinoziste : l'élan vital fondamental qui nous pousse à persévérer dans l'existence.6. La connativité comme alternative – [~22:30]Redonner place à l'élan, pas par amélioration de soi, mais par déconstruction de ce qui l'encombre.7. Les 5 clés pour relancer l'élan – [~24:00]Identifier ce qui épuise, privilégier la continuité, accepter l'inachevé, voir la joie comme un signal, avancer sans tout comprendre.Questions posées dans l'épisode Pourquoi ne désirons-nous plus l'avenir ?Le développement personnel nous aide-t-il vraiment ou nous aliène-t-il ?La connaissance peut-elle suffire à nous remettre en mouvement ?Quel est le rôle du sens dans un monde en crise ?L'optimalisme est-il une illusion ou une réponse adaptée ?Que dit Spinoza sur notre capacité à avancer malgré tout ?En quoi la joie peut-elle être un signal plutôt qu'un but ?Comment les neurosciences expliquent-elles notre perte d'élan ?Que faire quand la compréhension du monde nous paralyse ?Comment créer les conditions pour que notre élan vital réémerge ?Références citées dans l'épisodePhilosophie / PenséeSpinoza – Concept de conatus, moteur vital [~20:45]Viktor Frankl – Logothérapie, survivre par le sens [~14:17]Nietzsche – « Celui qui a un pourquoi peut supporter n'importe quel comment » [~15:06]Deleuze – Le pouvoir a besoin de tristesse [~13:36]Byung-Chul Han, Armand Trousseau, René Girard – Philosophes cités sur la lucidité et les biais [~11:44]NeurosciencesKen Berridge (Univ. Michigan) – Distinction liking/wanting, dopamine, systèmes motivationnels [~30:57]AutresSimon Sinek – Start With Why, TED Talk [~15:06]Eva Illouz – Critique du développement personnel [~06:20]Audre Lorde – Le self-care comme acte politique [~07:04]Sébastien Njugger – Marketing du manque existentiel [~07:04]7.

In this episode, Guy talked with Peter Russell, an author, guide, and meditation teacher. He discussed his deep-seated interest in consciousness and the ways in which we can achieve a natural state of contentment. He emphasized the importance of letting go of societal-induced discontent and our attachments to material things. The conversation navigated through topics such as the ego, our emotional responses, and how simple mindfulness practices can transform our perspectives and lives. Peter also explained his motivations and findings in his latest book, 'Letting Go of Nothing,' and gave insights into his daily routines and thoughts on the rapidly changing world. About Peter: Peter Russell is on the faculty of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, a fellow of The World Business Academy and The Findhorn Foundation, and an Honorary Member of The Club of Budapest. At Cambridge University (UK), he studied mathematics and theoretical physics. Then, as he became increasingly fascinated by the mysteries of the human mind, he changed to experimental psychology. Pursuing this interest, he traveled to India to study meditation and eastern philosophy, and on his return took up the first research post ever offered in Britain on the psychology of meditation. He also has a postgraduate degree in computer science, and conducted some of the early work on 3-dimensional displays, presaging by some twenty years the advent of virtual reality. In the 1970s, he was one of the first people to introduce human potential seminars into the corporate field, and for twenty years ran programs for senior management on creativity, stress management, personal development, and sustainable development. Clients have included IBM, Apple, Digital, American Express, Barclays Bank, Swedish Telecom, ICI, Shell Oil and British Petroleum. In 1982 he coined the term "Global Brain" with his 1980s bestseller of the same name in which he predicted the Internet and the impact it would have. His latest book, "Letting Go of Nothing: Relax Your Mind and Discover the Wonder of Your True Nature" was published on August 8, 2021. His other books include: The TM Technique, The Upanishads, The Brain Book, The Creative Manager, The Consciousness Revolution, Waking Up in Time, The Global Brain / The Awakening Earth, Seeds of Awakening, and From Science to God.

Can you "turn off" a narcissist with one calm sentence? Tony unpacks the viral "narcissistic off switch" concept and discovers why tactics alone won't save you—but they might be exactly where real transformation begins. After stumbling upon behavioral expert Chase Hughes' framework for disarming manipulation using FOG (Fear, Obligation, Guilt), Tony initially resisted the idea. It felt too simple. But when he traced the concept back to its source, something shifted. The off switch isn't about changing them—it's about stopping the erosion of you. Through raw client stories and David Schnarch's differentiation work, Tony reveals why awareness doesn't land as insight to the emotionally immature—it lands as exposure. And exposure is a threat. What you'll learn: Recognize when FOG and CAVA (Control, Approval, Validation, Attention) are being used against you Understand why naming manipulation often backfires in deeply bonded relationships Apply Schnarch's four points of balance to stay grounded during accusations Stop defending a "reflected sense of self" and start building one that's truly yours Embrace outcome independence—saying your truth without needing their agreement Drawing from 20+ years as a marriage and family therapist specializing in emotionally immature dynamics, Tony bridges tactical awareness with the deeper work of differentiation. 00:00 Introduction and Social Media Plugs 01:11 The Lost Episode: Narcissistic Off Switch 05:27 Chase Hughes and the Concept of Prediction 16:11 Understanding Manipulation: FOG and KAVA 18:33 Real-Life Examples: Navigating Emotional Manipulation 28:46 Understanding Unhealthy Responses 29:24 The Power of Differentiated Response 30:18 Challenges in Relationships 30:42 Contrasting Views on Manipulation 32:09 Real-Life Examples of Manipulation 37:22 The Concept of Differentiation 43:35 Projection and Emotional Immaturity 46:50 The Four Points of Balance 50:53 Gridlock and Constructing Your Crucible 54:22 Final Thoughts on Emotional Autonomy Contact Tony at contact@tonyoverbay.com to learn more about his Emotional Architects men's group.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers is joined by Dr. Jason Fung to break down why weight gain isn't a willpower issue or a calorie problem, but a hunger problem driven by internal signals. You'll learn why eating less often backfires and why controlling hunger is the real key to sustainable fat loss.   Dr. Fung introduces the concept of the "fat thermostat," explaining how hormones like insulin, cortisol, and GLP-1 quietly determine whether your body stores fat or burns it. He also reveals how ultra-processed foods disrupt these signals and keep cravings switched on.   You'll also explore the different types of hunger that influence eating behavior, why some foods never lead to satiety, and how small shifts in food choice, timing, and lifestyle can naturally reduce cravings while supporting fat burning.   In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Food Industry Tricks 01:19 Dr. Jason Fung's Background and Achievements 04:06 The Concept of Hunger and Hormones 12:05 Understanding the Fat Thermostat 17:09 The Role of Hormones in Weight Management 21:53 Impact of Diet on Hormones and Weight 26:06 Debunking Diet Myths 26:43 The Science of Hair Regrowth 28:23 Understanding Hunger and Hormones 29:40 The Dangers of Ultra-Processed Foods 31:33 Food Addiction and Its Implications 32:55 The Role of Natural Foods in Satiety 36:10 The Impact of Food Processing on Health 44:01 Effective Strategies for Weight Management 52:09 The Importance of Social Support in Dieting 52:48 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   If you want practical, natural strategies to balance your hormones, heal your gut, boost your energy, and slow aging, don't miss The Dr. Josh Axe Show.
