I am sure you know people who love to offer unsolicited advice. And if you think back to the last time someone offered it to you – you likely didn't follow it. No one does. This episode starts by revealing why people hate unsolicited advice and what works so much better if you want to get someone to do something. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/do-the-right-thing/201407/giving-people-advice-rarely-works-does We have known for a long time that the human heart is not really involved with emotions. You can't really love someone with all your heart – that's not what the heart does. Still, we talk about love and the heart as being connected. Why? That's just one of the things I discuss with my guest Dr. Vincent Figueredo. He is a practicing cardiologist, professor of medicine and author of the book, The Curious History of the Heart: A Cultural and Scientific Journey (https://amzn.to/4hlJQfa). Listen as he also reveals just how amazing your heart is, what it does and what it is like to hold a beating human heart in his hands! We can all help people make real positive changes in their lives by taking some very small actions. That's according to important research conducted by my guest Greg Walton, PhD. He is the co-director of the Dweck-Walton Lab and a professor of psychology at Stanford University. Listen as he explains what he calls “Ordinary Magic” – small steps that can be very influential in keeping people on track and help them become the people they want to be. Greg is author of book called Ordinary Magic: The Science of How We Can Achieve Big Change with Small Acts (https://amzn.to/4ihZlGa) Do you know what the difference is between a habit and an addiction? While they seem similar, there is an important distinction. Listen as I explain the difference.

From 2006- one of my favorite author interviews- David Standish, author of "Hollow Earth: The Long and Curious History of Imagining Strange Lands, Fantastical Creatures, Advanced Civilizations, and Marvelous Machines Below the Earth's Surface."

What can a well-manicured lawn reveal about social status, our relationship to the Earth and the American Dream? A surprising amount. From fancy French palace gardens to suburban America, come along for the garden party as we mow over the history of the lawn – and ask if its time is up. This episode is from DW's Don't Drink the Milk podcast.

The gut is all the rage these days. Many an influencer has built a platform on how to keep our digestive systems happy, healthy and moving. But humans have long fetishized the gut. Doctors and philosophers have deliberated its influence on our emotional stability. Theologians declared it wicked. Disposing of bodily waste in both sanitary and silent ways is a mark of modernity. Historian Elsa Richardson found it all utterly fascinating. So she wrote a book to probe the organ's colorful and often boisterous past. This week, she joins host Kerri Miller on Big Books and Bold Ideas to explore the age-old question: Are we really ruled by our stomachs? Guest: Elsa Richardson is a historian at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. Her new book is “Rumbles: A Curious History of the Gut.” Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.

Vår förståelse av hjärtat har genomgått stora förändringar genom historien. En fascinerande utveckling, men det är det främmande och obegripliga hjärtat som fortsätter lockar Göran Sommardal. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Hjärtat har ju ingen historia! Det är vad jag tänker efter att ha läst två böcker som redan i titeln påstår sig skriva just den – hjärtats historia. Det här sam­tidigt självklara och mytomspunna hjärtat, som pryder så många av våra före­ställ­ningar om människolivets bästa och värsta och vik­tigaste ögonblick, och som antagligen är den mest över­tygande sammanfattning vi har, av livet före döden, så länge som det oförtrutet fort­sät­ter att dunka och slå.Men någon historia har det inte. Och nu ska jag berätta varför. Den väster­ländska läke­konstens fader Hippokrates gjorde antag­ligen redan på 400-talet före vår tide­räk­ning en iakttagelse av arytmi - hjärtrytmrubbningar - som dödsorsak hos en av sina pati­enter i det antika Grekland. Samma sak som i dag är den van­li­gaste or­saken till na­turlig död i Amerikas förenta stater. Hjärtat är med andra ord sig någorlunda likt, åtminstone så länge som vi har upp­teck­ningar om dess fysiologiska uppenbarelseformer. Redan tvåtusen år tidigare hade såväl sumeriska som egyptiska och ki­ne­siska och hinduiska och aztekiska betraktare av den mänskliga kroppen kunnat konstatera att hjärtat var de övriga kropps­delarnas härskare, och den som höll resten av männi­skan vid bultande liv. Därför var det också naturligt att våra fö­regångare betraktade hjär­tat som platsen där det viktigaste av oss höll till: vår intelligens, våra sin­nen och min­nen, och som kronan på verket: vår själ. ­
 Medan hjärnan länge betraktades som en enk­lare central­värmean­lägg­ning, som kunde elda på, när det behövdes, men framförallt vid behov kyla ner det kära hjärtats överhettade känslor.
 I den bok som Ole Martin Høystad har gett titeln ”Hjärtat - en kulturhistorisk resa” presenterar författaren visserligen många intressanta idéhistoriska redogörelser men utan att riktigt under­söka Hjärthistoriens filosofiska fundament. När han till exempel be­skri­ver ”det antika grekiska hjärtat” så blir det utifrån en ”naiv” läsning av de moral­filoso­fiska begreppen, men utan att komma med något annat än gammal, låt vara initierad, skåpmat. I sin bok”The Curious History of the Heart” berättar i stället kardiologen Vin­cent Figueredo om sånt vi genom historien tagit reda på om det fysiska hjärtat och vad vi lärt oss att göra med det, ända fram till att ersätta det med ett djurs eller ett konst­gjort hjär­ta. 
 Med det här avstampet i det medicinhistoriska blir Aristoteles mycket mer av na­turalhistoriker än en simpel Platon-lärjunge. Figueredo utgår framförallt från Aris­toteles fysiologiska observationer av den animala krop­pen (där ju människan ock­så hör hemma) för att grunda sin cardiocentristiska antro­pologi i motsats till Hippo­kra­tes cerebrocentrism. I sina obduktioner av kyck­ling­embryon noterade nämligen Aris­toteles hur hjärtat var det första inre organ som bil­das i krop­pen. Och med sin strikta syllogistiska logik drog Aristoteles slut­sats­en att det som formas först också är det som håller längst. Alltså från hjärtat utgår li­vets väs­entliga rörelse. Och i väster­land­et har vi ända fram på 1700-talet varit böjda att tro honom. 
 Det som har förändrats genom historien är förstås inte det fysiska hjärtat, den pålitliga pumpen, eller dess plats i den mänskliga anatomin, utan vad vi har inbillat oss att hjärtat har betytt. På olika platser och i olika tider och i skilda sammanhang. Och då inte bara som den enkla ut­byt­ba­ra symbo­l­en för smärta och smäkta. Eller som plats­en för det in­ner­s­ta av våra känslor eller det yttersta i vår övertygelse. Lika gär­na som vi sjungit ut vår läng­tan i I left my heart in San Francisco har vi ju kun­na kläm­ma i med Jag läng­tar till I­talien eller Så länge skutan kan gå. Med sam­ma smek­sam­ma nos­tal­gi och gula citroner och böljorna blå. Vad jag helst tänker på är sånt som det främmande men lockande och obegrip­liga hjärtat som den egyptiska religionen för mer än 4000 år sedan föreställde sig att människan var utrustad med. Det hjärta som i varje människas liv hade bevittnat och genomlevt allt som utspelat sig i hennes tillvaro, från början till slut, utan undantag. Och som ingenting hade glömt. Och vad värre var: som ingenting kunde glömma. 
 Det var det hjärtat som dödsguden Anubis, när det blev så dags, lät lägga i den vågskål som skulle vägas mot gudinnan Ma'ats strutsfjäder. Ma'at var Ordningens härskarinna, och inför henne gavs ingen nåd. Inget teologiskt kryphål, genom vilket vare sig den rike eller mäktige kunde krypa ut för att hitta frälsning eller evigt liv. Vägde den dödes hjärta mer än Ma'ats fjäder så slukades det med ens upp av monstret Ammat, en gudomligt hungrig skvader av lejon, flodhäst och krokodil. Så stark var den här grafiska tron på hjärtats sanningsenlighet att den män­­niska som fruktade för vad sanningen om henne själv skulle innebära, att hon inför sin för­ut­spåd­da död och förestående mumifiering kunde föreskriva att en gnist­rande skarabé skulle täcka hjärtat för att göra sanningen om henne mer förled­an­de lätt­viktig i den obevekliga Ma'ats vågskålar. 

Inga andra föremål i universum tycks heller ha behållit sin symboliska rörlighet som hjärtat har gjort. Det har funnits soldyrkare, månbesjungare, stjärnskådare. Vi har va­rit besatta av katter och förgudat lejon och krokodiler. Upphöjt rosor, myror, sköld­paddor och näktergalar till representanter för våra bästa egenskaper. Men ingen var­else och inget ting, har behållit samma undanglidande metaforiska natur som det kä­ra hjärtat. Inte ens ögat – den andra av våra kroppsdelar som vi gärna inbildar med ma­giska egenskaper – har behållit samma fantasifulla rörelse som den som känne­teck­nar hjärtat. Vare sig vi föreställer oss ögat som en egenskap hos en allseende Gud, eller förmågan hos en övervakningskamera, som var och en på sitt sätt håller oss under uppsikt, så blir det aldrig mer än sinnebilden för ett allsmäktigt seende. Illa­sinnat eller välmenande, och nästan alltid förbundet med en annan makt. 
 Medan hjärtat nästan undantagslöst är sig självt nog. Oavsett om det är av sten, som hos riddar Kato i Mio, min Mio, eller av sniket guld, som hos farbror Joa­kim. Eller av karnevalisk världslighet som hos Rabelais' Pantagruel, eller kanske av idel godhet som hos furst Mysjkin hos Dostojevskij. 
 Ögat förblir metaforiskt hjärtlöst, medan hjärtat bevarar sitt tvetydigt symbol­is­ka seende. I den kinesiska vardagsvokabulären är hjärtat t.o.m. utrustat med ögon, eller öppningar. Eller gluggar kanske, ungefär som ungarna i min barndom till­hölls att hålla korpgluggarna öppna: 长点心眼儿。
 Men att ha för många hjärtögon är inte heller bra: då blir man en som alltid ska lägga näsan i blöt: 多心眼儿。Är hjärtögonen stora är man storsint, är de små är man småsint. Men bara att ha dem – hjärtgluggarna – är ett tecken på att man har hu­vu­det på skaft.
 有心眼儿。 Det gäller att ha hjärtat på rätt ställe. Och att hålla korpgluggarna öppna! Göran Sommardalpoet, översättare och kritikerLitteraturVincent M.

Agnes Arnold-Forster explores the surprising cultural history of the emotion, from the longing "Ostalgie" felt for a lost East Germany to the Victorian love of all things medieval. Speaking to Ellie Cawthorne, she also outlines how nostalgia has been weaponised by both sides of the political spectrum, and considers whether it could be a force for good. (AD) Agnes Arnold-Forster is the author of Nostalgia: A History of a Dangerous Emotion (Picador).

The first condoms were made of cloth and intended to be used after sex. Later they were replaced by hand stitched animal gut ones – designed to be washed and reused. We chart the bizzare, fraught and sexist history of attempts to deal with the prevention of sexually transmitted disease - where medical practice came into conflict with the morals of society.Histories of Sexual Health in Britain 1918-1980 is a research project being led by Anne Hanley.

From grimy back alleys and ghastly churchyards to debtors' prisons and old curiosity shops, Charles Dickens evoked a vision of Victorian London that's still vivid today. And, ever since Dickens' books were published, literary fans have visited London to seek out traces of the lost world he described. Lee Jackson, author of Dickensland, guides Ellie Cawthorne through some of the atmospheric sites associated with the author – from Lincoln's Inn to “Nancy's steps”.

For much of recorded history, people considered the heart to be the most important organ in the body. In cultures around the world, the heart-not the brain-was believed to be the location of intelligence, memory, emotion, and the soul. Over time, views on the purpose of the heart have transformed as people sought to understand the life forces it contains. Modern medicine and science dismissed what was once the king of the organs as a mere blood pump subservient to the brain, yet the heart remains a potent symbol of love and health and an important part of our cultural iconography.This book traces the evolution of our understanding of the heart from the dawn of civilization to the present. Vincent M. Figueredo-an accomplished cardiologist and expert on the history of the human heart-explores the role and significance of the heart in art, culture, religion, philosophy, and science across time and place. He examines how the heart really works, its many meanings in our emotional and daily lives, and what cutting-edge science is teaching us about this remarkable organ. Figueredo considers the science of heart disease, recent advancements in heart therapies, and what the future may hold. He highlights the emerging field of neurocardiology, which has found evidence of a "heart-brain connection" in mental and physical health, suggesting that ancient views hold more truth than moderns suspect.Ranging widely and deeply throughout human history, this book sheds new light on why the heart remains so central to our sense of self.Buy the book from Wellington Square Bookshop - ​https://wellingtonsquarebooks.indiecommerce.com/book/9780231208185

5G, the latest mobile network standard, is coming. As new cell towers sprout around the world, do we know enough to confidently claim that this new technology is safe? After all, older networking standards relied on microwaves, radiation which has wavelengths of inches to a foot or so. 5G operates at much higher frequencies, with millimeter wavelengths. Some are worried that being subjected to millimeter radiation could cause cancers. But what does science say? 5G: the promise and the perils. Guests: Jon Samet – Pulmonary physician, epidemiologist, and dean of the Colorado School of Public Health. Claire Parkinson – Scientist, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Bob Berman – Astronomer, regular contributor to Astronomy Magazine, and author of “Zapped: From Infrared to X-Rays, the Curious History of Invisible Light” David Ropeik – Retired Harvard instructor and author of several books about the psychology of risk perception.

An MBA is seen by many aspiring executives as a rite of passage and a necessary step in order to develop their network, hone their skills and fine-tune their hard won business acumen. While once upon a time the top business schools tended to serve an almost exclusively male audience, thankfully these days business schools around the world make a significant effort to enhance the diversity of their student bodies and to be as inclusive as possible. Yet as our guests today have highlighted in recent research, in an odd twist of history, those same universities catering for an essentially male student body also provided special classes for their wives. To explore this further I am delighted to be joined by Allison Elias and Rolv Petter Amdam. Allison Elias is an assistant professor at University of Virginia Darden School of Business. Her research investigates historical and contemporary issues of gender and diversity in organizations, with a focus on the influence of social movements on corporate practices. Allison's forthcoming book charts the trajectory of modern feminism at work illuminating the failures of equality-based frameworks and merit-based human resource management practices. Rolv Petter Storvik Amdam is a Professor of Business History at BI Norwegian Business School and was previously dean of BI's executive programmes. His research and publications focus on a range of areas including • Business education and career development • International development of executive education * Internationalization procesess * Globalization and industrial clusters, focusing on the maritime industry The article referred to is available here: https://journals.aom.org/doi/abs/10.5465/amle.2020.0129 You can find out more about Allison and Elias on their respective homepages: https://www.darden.virginia.edu/faculty-research/directory/allison-elias https://www.bi.edu/about-bi/employees/department-of-strategy-and-entrepeneurship2/rolv-petter-storvik-amdam/

So, 666. This has been recognized all over the place for the anti Christ. Now, let me be clear here. That's not Antion Christ. It's anti Christ and also for the devil. But what's interesting about that is I had an entertainment company for six years, got worldwide publicity, called Prank Masters. We custom designed practical jokes long before punk'd was around and all that stuff and it's a federally registered logo with a devil sticking his tongue out.
