Think about the last time you were really happy — where were you? What were you doing? Who were you with? And, most importantly, how can you recreate that feeling?Happiness can feel like lightning in a bottle — beautiful in the moment, but hard to find and harder yet to sustain. So what is it that makes for a happy life? And how do we engineer our lives for greater contentment, fulfillment, and joy?On this encore episode: the science of happiness and how we can experience more of it every day. We talk with psychologist Eric Zillmer about why certain places bring us joy, and how to engineer happiness in our lives. We hear about one reporter's experiment to bring more moments of serendipity in her life. And, writer Daniel Coyle explains why community is at the heart of what it means to flourish.Drexel University psychologist Eric Zillmer created a “happiness map” of Philadelphia with the help of his students. He says it holds greater lessons on why certain places bring us joy, and how we can reverse-engineer happiness into our days. Zillmer directs the happiness lab at Drexel University.Writer Daniel Coyle built his career on exploring what it is that makes people successful — but when both of his parents died a few years ago, Coyle found himself unmoored, questioning what makes for a happy and meaningful life. The resulting journey led to his newest book, “Flourish: The Art of Building Meaning, Joy, and Fulfillment.” We talk with Coyle why he says community is at the heart of flourishing, how to create the right conditions for happiness, and why he says life isn't a treasure hunt — it's the process of treasure creation.

主播：Emma（中国）+ Selah（美国） 音乐：The Best is Yet to Come最近，社交媒体上经常会有网友分享“外国人模仿中国人的生活习惯”的视频，而且“becoming Chinese（变成中国人）”也引发了网友们的关注。今天我们就一起来聊一聊“becoming Chinese”这一趋势。01. Chinese-style Way of Living 中式生活方式TikTok上有许多视频用了这样的tag（标签）：You met me at a very Chinese time in my life (你在我生命中“特别中国”的时候遇见了我)。这里的“Chinese”并不是指“国籍（nationality）”，更多的是一种state of life (生活状态) 或者lifestyle (生活方式)。��在这些视频中，外国人的“a very Chinese time”是什么样的呢？最典型的（most typical）就是drinking hot water（喝热水）了，几乎每个视频里都会出现。在中国，尤其是冬天的时候，大家都不太会喝凉的东西。除此之外，还有：Drinking traditional herbal medicine 喝中药Goji berries in hot water 泡枸杞Drinking honey water 喝蜂蜜水当然，还少不了冬天必备的经典中国美食——hot pot（火锅）！冬天一家人围在一起吃火锅，真的很幸福。这些治愈系食物（comfort foods）让人感到温暖、有家的气息（homey）。很多人也因此爱上（fall in love with）中国美食、网络段子（Chinese internet jokes）或者古风音乐（traditional-style music）。02. Chinese People's Daily Lives 中国人的日常生活这些被外国网友模仿的行为，不是完全等同于中国人的日常生活，比如中国人冬天确实会常吃火锅，但不会天天吃。其实更真实、更平常的“中式生活”习惯是这样的：（1）早上不吃生冷食物；（2）夏天喝绿豆汤防中暑；（3）生病时会喝粥（congee）；It's not just about nutrition (营养), but also about how it makes you feel.（4）吃饭时大家共享菜品，再配点汤；（5）美剧里大家基本都是早上洗澡（morning showers），但其实在中国，人们更倾向于晚上洗澡（shower before bed）。So becoming Chinese is not about doing one thing. 这其实是一种生活节奏（a whole rhythm of life）的差异。03. Why Are More and More Foreign People Attempting to “Become Chinese”? 为什么越来越多外国人尝试“变成中国人”？这种生活方式之所以吸引外国人，或许是因为其中透出的关怀感与平衡感（the sense of care and balance）。许多人在快节奏、高压的生活中（fast-paced, high-stress lifestyles），开始向往一种更慢（slower）、更温暖（warmer）、更带着心意（more intentional）的生活习惯。最近，一位中国博主对此做了特别温暖的回应，这个视频获得了超高的点赞量，她表示：“My culture can be your culture.”（我的文化也可以是你的文化。）这句话让人感到无比开放与包容（incredibly open and welcoming）。评论区也同样暖心：（1）“I am having so much fun being Chinese.” 成为中国人太有意思啦！（2）“Thank you for accepting us.” 谢谢你们接纳我们。（3）“This is my first day being Chinese, and everyone is being so nice.” 成为中国人的第一天，大家都这么友善。这让我们看到，文化可以是共享的，而不是被圈起来守护的（shared instead of guarded）。网络中的这种和谐（harmony），其实是文化被温柔对待、被理解与被尊重的体现。也许这股趋势的真正意义就在于：Not copying, but connecting. 不是模仿，而是靠近。欢迎大家在评论区留言：What is your view on “becoming Chinese”? 你对“becoming Chinese”是什么看法？

Dried-up lakes, recurrent water cuts and undrinkable water: residents of the Iranian capital Tehran are suffering the consequences of an unprecedented drought. For this report, they agreed to film their daily lives. To combat the water shortage, the authorities are organising prayers for rain. President Masoud Pezeshkian has even said he is considering moving the capital from Tehran. However, not everyone supports the idea. Our France 2 colleagues report, with FRANCE 24's Lauren Bain.

It's Wednesday, November 19th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Christians faced 2,211 hate crimes in Europe last year Christians and churches are facing increased attacks in Europe. The Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe released their latest report on Monday.  Christians faced 2,211 hate crimes across the continent last year. The number is slightly down from 2023, but last year saw a rise in violent crimes like physical attacks and arson.  The countries with highest number of anti-Christian incidents were France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and Austria. 189 university evangelists gathered in Spain The Fellowship of Evangelists in the Universities of Europe held their 17th annual meeting in Spain recently. Evangelical Focus reports 189 university evangelists from 39 countries attended the conference. Evangelists are committed to the public proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the universities of Europe.  The article noted, “A strong theme of the conference was the renewed spiritual openness emerging across the continent, particularly among young people.” Romans 10:15 says, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!” Trump lifted tariffs on 200 food products In the United States, President Donald Trump lifted tariffs on over 200 food products last Friday. The products include coffee, beef, bananas, and orange juice.  The move comes as Americans face rising grocery prices. Listen to comments from President Trump aboard Air Force One.  TRUMP: “For the most part, the foods, when we cut back a little bit on those tariffs, will get the price down. But they're not competitive in this country, like tomatoes and bananas and things we don't make in this country. So, there's no protection of our industries or our food products.” President Trump also suggested sending $2,000 tariff rebate checks to most Americans next year. House to release Epstein Files without redacting perpetrators' names The House of Representatives, in a near-unanimous vote, passed a bill on November 18 that would require the Department of Justice to release more files surrounding the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, reports The Epoch Times. The final tally was 427–1. Republican Congressman Clay Higgins of Louisiana was the sole lawmaker who voted against the measure. Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota said he will take up the bill. The Epstein Files Transparency Act, introduced by Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna of California and co-sponsored by Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky, would order the Department of Justice to release “in a searchable and downloadable format all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials” tied to Epstein no later than 30 days following the enactment of the bill. The legislation would prohibit the Justice Department from withholding, delaying, or redacting records for reputational and political reasons. Oregon to pay 2 teachers $650,000 over their objection to biological boys entering female bathrooms A school district in Oregon recently agreed to a $650,000 settlement for wrongfully terminating two teachers who opposed transgender ideology.  Back in 2021, Grants Pass School District terminated two teachers named Rachel Sager and Katie Medart. The two had voiced objections to allowing biological boys to enter female bathrooms and locker rooms.  Alliance Defending Freedom represented the teachers in the case.  Attorney Mathew Hoffmann said, “Teachers don't give up their First Amendment rights when they set foot on school property. Public schools can't retaliate against speech simply because they disagree with what's said.” Deaths by in vitro fertilization surpass abortion deaths Live Action reports the number of lives lost to in vitro fertilization now surpasses those lost to abortion. In 2023, 3.8 million embryos were created through in vitro fertilization. Of those, 1.9 million embryos died or were deliberately killed. Another 1.7 million embryos were either miscarried, destroyed, donated to researchers, released for embryo adoption, or frozen indefinitely. Only 95,860 babies were born through the process. In comparison, there were one million abortions in the U.S. in 2023. Live Action noted, “In vitro fertilization is not about creating life but about controlling it, determining which lives are accepted as valuable and worthy and which are automatically destroyed for being deemed ‘subpar'.” Only 49% of Americans say religion important to daily lives A new report from Gallup found that the U.S. is experiencing one of the largest drops in religiosity in the world. Forty-nine percent of U.S. adults say religion is an important part of their daily lives today, down from 66% in 2015. The only countries with greater drops in religiosity, over a 10-year period, are Greece, Italy, Poland, Chile, and Turkey. However, Americans still have medium-high levels of Christian identification. The report noted, “The U.S. increasingly stands as an outlier: less religious than much of the world, but still more devout than most of its economic peers.” Revelation 3:15-16 warns, “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.” Last penny was just minted last week And finally, the United States Mint struck its final penny last Wednesday. The penny was authorized under the Coinage Act of 1792. At the time, a penny could purchase items like a biscuit, a candle, or a piece of candy. Not anymore. In fact, it costs nearly four cents to make a penny now.  The U.S. Mint has struck the penny in its current form since 1909, featuring the motto, “In God We Trust.” U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach struck the final penny last week. He said, “God bless America, and we're going to save the taxpayers $56 million.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, November 19th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Over the past 25 years, the world has witnessed the birth of the World Wide Web, the explosion of social media and the transformation of phones from push-button landlines to pocket-sized computers. The impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to be the most transformative technological advancement yet, says Adam Peruta '00, G'04, associate professor of magazine, news and digital journalism and program director of the Advanced Media Management master's program in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.“I think AI is underhyped,” Peruta says. “What we're going through right now is maybe even more important and going to have more of an impact than the World Wide Web, social media and mobile phones.”In his research and teaching, Peruta explores issues around AI, including how AI that creates content will impact the future of media and how people working in media and communications must adapt to new technologies. Peruta stopped by the "'Cuse Conversations" podcast to discuss the state of AI, share helpful tips for using AI into our daily lives and explains what sets the University apart as a higher education leader in AI.
