Social media platforms are designed to hijack our brain's reward system, keeping us hooked through endless dopamine hits. This constant stimulation fragments our attention, reshapes our behavior, and can lead to burnout, anxiety, and even addiction—especially in developing brains. The more we scroll, the more we crave quick hits of novelty, making it harder to tolerate boredom or engage in deeper, more meaningful tasks. And while adults may struggle, kids are even more vulnerable, facing emotional dysregulation and long-term brain changes. The good news? Awareness is the first step toward reclaiming agency and creating healthier boundaries in a world built for distraction. Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist, bestselling author, and professor at NYU's Stern School of Business.

Haidt is also a co-founder of Heterodox Academy, the Constructive Dialogue Institute, and Ethical Systems—organizations that promote viewpoint diversity, constructive disagreement, and ethical leadership. Since 2018, he has turned his attention to the mental health crisis among teens and the role of social media in political polarization. His latest book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness, was published in 2024. In 2019, he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Cal Newport is an associate professor of computer science at Georgetown University. In addition to researching cutting-edge technology, he also writes about the impact of these innovations on our culture. Newport is the author of six books, including Slow Productivity, Digital Minimalism, and Deep Work. His work has been featured in many publications, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Economist, and he has been writing essays for his personal website (CalNewport.com) for over a decade. He has never had a social media account. Tobias Rose-Stockwell is a writer, designer, and media researcher whose work has been featured in major outlets such as The Atlantic, WIRED, NPR, the BBC, CNN, and many others.

Most people spend their lives trying to eliminate struggle. Marine Corps veteran Akshay Nanavati spent four years and $1.1 million preparing to drag a 420-pound sled across Antarctica alone - on what experts call "the world's first attempt at an impossible expedition."His greatest breakthrough didn't happen on the ice. It happened when doctors told him he had PTSD and he responded: "I reject that label." Instead of accepting victim status, he created Fearvana. a philosophy that transforms fear into fuel and suffering into strength.In this conversation, Simon builds a live visual model that captures Akshay's entire transformation methodology: the spiral framework that shows how humans evolve from basic fear/desire programming to the ultimate sacred edge of void and creation.Ready to systematically extract and codify your own breakthrough thinking?

Episode Summary:In this deeply personal and reflective solo episode, Amy Wheeler closes out Season 8 of The Yoga Therapy Hour and sets the tone for a rich, story-filled Season 9.Amy shares how the theme of “being human” emerged as the guiding force of Season 8, inspired by the courageous individuals who came forward to tell their stories—many for the first time. These stories weren't just interviews. They were powerful acts of vulnerability, resilience, and truth-telling, offering a mirror into the ways Yoga, Yoga Therapy, and Āyurveda can help us feel more, suffer less, and reconnect with ourselves and others.From feeding the birds on a crisp Minnesota morning to attending the Dalai Lama's 90th birthday celebration with the Tibetan American community, Amy reflects on the importance of embodiment, interconnection, and what it means to belong—to ourselves, to each other, and to something greater.She also speaks frankly about the state of the yoga therapy profession—naming the challenges in funding, insurance, job growth, and institutional integration—and invites listeners to return to the heart of the practice. Yoga was never meant to be a job market. It was—and still is—a sacred path for healing, presence, and service.What's Ahead in Season 9:Season 9 will continue the storytelling format, focusing on real humans navigating real suffering and how they found relief and resilience through Yoga and Āyurveda.The season is already fully booked through December 2025, with Amy often recording two stories per week to keep up with the demand.The core question guiding the season: What does it mean to be human in an age of AI, disconnection, and overwhelm?Special Announcement: Season 10 PreviewAmy shares a glimpse of what's coming in 2026:A 15-month podcast series dedicated to the 8 Limbs of Yoga, integrating ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience and lived experience.

But that doesn't mean it can't be your sacred path.”— Amy Wheeler“When we let go of trying to fit Yoga Therapy into a broken system, we begin to remember the soul of this work.”— Amy Wheeler“Humanity is not something we need to digitize—it's something we need to feel again.”— Amy WheelerConnect + Take Action:Want to be a guest on Season 10?

You could rewind the podcast, listen in reverse, and Stuart (co-host) would still sound like he's decoding alien transmissions. People keep saying we should be 'industry voices'—but the world has plenty of self-appointed sages peddling their predictable patter. We'd rather stay unpredictable than be another echo in the expert chamber.Vinroy, from Linstead, Jamaica sets the first listener question today  - “Would a multiverse be compatible with our current understanding of reality?”William (your other co-host) ponders, what even is reality? Stuart shrugs and suggests reality's just a dodgy software update away from collapsing. Cue William, citing His Dark Materials, where every time you pick tea over coffee, another universe spins off with deeply confused baristas. Stuart steers things into, if it feels good, it's probably carbon neutral territory, while William counters, change hurts. Stuart argues life shouldn't feel like an eco bootcamp. William admits his internal habits committee is... inefficient. The multiverse? Tempting. But for now, this one's tricky enough.Scott, Arisaig, Scotland - “Can we ever claim to have absolute knowledge about anything? The human brain can't conceive  the notion of nothingness. Before the big bang, there was nothing. What did that look like? Can a human brain ever conceive of that.”William isn't buying Scott's nothing before the Big Bang theory—he reckons there was probably something, even if it was just cosmic awkward silence. Stuart thinks time is just our brains trying to make calendars feel important. William drops in 14 billion years like it's a fun fact; Stuart counters with do we really know why water's wet? Before spiraling into Newtonian conspiracy. William argues for concrete truths—like sogginess—and Stuart, mid-meditation, wonders if truth is just our neurons doing improv. William challenges listeners to imagine nothing. Stuart wants the Dalai Lama's take. William just wants anyone's.What do you make of this discussion?

What if healing isn't about talking more — but about telling your nervous system: It's over. You're safe now? In this week's episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with trauma expert Judith Richards, founder of The Richards Trauma Process (TRTP), a revolutionary approach to healing by addressing trauma at its root. We explore why traditional talk therapy often isn't enough, how trauma loops keep us stuck in fight, flight, or freeze, and the powerful events that informed Judith's unlikely path — including a life-changing moment with the Dalai Lama. Judith's personal story is nothing short of extraordinary. Surviving childhood abuse, stalkers, physical injury, and a severe mental breakdown, she walks us through her raw, real descent into madness, isolation, and despair. But from that darkness, TRTP was born: a revolutionary trauma resolution process that empowers people to break free from emotional pain, anxiety, depression, and chronic illness. She also explains how some of the most devastating patterns in our lives are not always caused by what happened — but by what didn't: emotional absence, insecure attachments, and unspoken, neglected needs. This episode is for anyone who's tired of just coping and ready to truly thrive. Whether you've faced major trauma or feel trapped in a cycle of relentless pain or stuck-ness, Judith offers a powerful reframe: healing doesn't have to take forever — and it doesn't require reliving the past. You'll walk away with insights, tools, and a renewed sense of possibility. LINKS TRTP Clinic Website: https://trtpclinic.com/ Key Moments You'll Love:

After years of debate, the Dalai Lama has decided he will reincarnate. China, however, is determined that it, not Tibet's government-in-exile, will decide who his successor should be. Time is on Beijing's side. The country's rapid economic development, as well as its severe suppression of dissent, have won over significant numbers of Tibetans to its side. The Tibetan diaspora in India, meanwhile, is in decline, with numbers of young people chosing to make their future in the West.   https://theprint.in/opinion/security-code/dalai-lama-succession-china-tibet-control-future/2680567/

Selfishness is putting one's own needs before those of others. This is sometimes necessary, as in self-care. But, can showing care and compassion for others also be selfish? Yes, it's what the Dalai Lama calls “wise selfishness,” and it's so much better than regular selfishness.

Kate Adie introduces stories from China, Kenya, Australia, Bolivia and the USA.Sichuan province in China is home to a long-standing Tibetan resistance movement. While Beijing views Tibet as an integral part of China – the allegiances of many Tibetans living in China lie with its exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama - voicing support for him can lead to arrest or prison. Laura Bicker visited the town of Aba, where she met monks practicing their faith under heavy surveillance.Youth led protests erupted again in Kenya this week, with many young Kenyans angry at the lack of good job opportunities in the country - more than 30 people died in the demonstrations, and over 500 were arrested.

But the energy exports on which the country once thrived have fallen sharply in recent years, pushing many people into poverty. Carolyn Lamboley reveals how the country's economic woes are now affecting people from all walks of life.And finally, we're in the Zion National Park in Utah where Stephen Moss tells the story of the conservation campaign that helped bring the Californian Condor back from the brink of extinction.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Production Coordinators: Sophie Hill & Katie Morrison Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

As the Dalai Lama turns 90, the question of who will succeed him is reigniting tensions between Tibet and China. We speak with Sherap Therchin of the Canada-Tibet Committee about why this could lead to two rival Dalai Lamas—and what that means for Tibetan identity, faith, and global politics.

The Dalai Lama has spent almost his entire adult life as a refugee from his homeland of Tibet. Fleeing Chinese persecution in the 1950s, he has built a nation in exile, striving to preserve Tibetan culture as not just the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, but as a global ambassador for his people's cause.But he knows a transition is coming. On his 90th birthday this week, the Dalai Lama announced plans for how his successor will be chosen after his death. Since that successor will be a child, that means years of power vacuum that China is almost certain to capitalize on, including attempting to name a rival Dalai Lama of their own.Mujib Mashal is the South Asia bureau chief with the New York Times. He explains what's at stake for the people of Tibet — and Asian geopolitics more broadly — in the coming power struggle when the Dalai Lama passes on.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Tommy and Ben take a break from impersonating Marco Rubio to cover Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington to kiss Trump's ass, the ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas in Qatar, the IDF's latest plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza, and shifting opinions on Israel within the Democratic Party. They also discuss Trump's confusing about-face on sending weapons to Ukraine, the continued incoherence of Trump's tariff policy and his needless antagonism of the BRICS countries. Finally, they talk about the finger-wagging at Tucker Carlson for his interview with Iran's president, the border crisis in Afghanistan, the Dalai Lama's succession plan and how China could interfere, the dispute between Thailand and Cambodia that's caused a political meltdown in Bangkok, and the administration's cruel termination of Temporary Protected Status for Hondurans and Nicaraguans. Then, Ben speaks with Representative Jason Crow about how the “Big Beautiful Bill” will tank America's global standing, intelligence in the age of Trump and Tulsi Gabbard, and where the Democratic Party needs to go on foreign policy.

One of the greatest joys and fulfillments of life is helping another person. Not through the base obligations we have to family, but to reach out when we don't have to and help lift another person up. But I find two problems that arise for most all of us; we don't know where to plug in to really help others and when we do happen to see opportunities to serve they often feel ill fitting for who we are. So we have good intent and don't get to apply it. Queue up my guest today, Neil Ghosh. Neil is a renowned social entrepreneur, humanitarian, and philanthropist. He has written a book that to me is both inspiring, and incredibly equipping as a resource manual for doing good in the world. The book is aptly titled, Do More Good: Inspiring Lessons From Extraordinary People. The forward is from the Dalai Lama himself, and the book is endorsed by such notable figures such as President Bill Clinton and Nobel Peace Laureate, Professor Muhammad Yunus. Neil has the book in three sections, Sit, Rise, and Act. They showcase three ways we can serve the world according to our personal style, in essence. Then in each category he highlights 10 or so people, some famous, some not, and he shares how they uniquely bettered the world, the lesson we can learn from how and what they did, and then shares a list of organizations we can engage with to help in a similar way, plus ways we can embody the way of serving, in our lives today, right where we are. I was incredibly inspired in this conversation with Neil and feel you'll leave enthused and equipped to give of yourself in new and uplifting ways.

There's a saying that's attributed to the Dalai Lama: in the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher. It's a nice idea. But when people don't share our values, it's hard for us to tolerate theirs. This week, we bring you a favorite episode with sociologist Robb Willer. We discuss the common mistakes we make in trying to persuade others of our point of view — and how to break out of our echo chambers. Then, Kenji Yoshino answers your questions about how we hide our true selves.In this week's show, you'll learn:*What's happening in our minds when we're trying to win an argument.*Techniques for how to take another person's perspective — and how to become more effective in persuading them of your perspective.*The most successful protest tactics in winning allies.*Why we might shift from trying to change someone's mind to trying to change their behavior.If you love Hidden Brain, come see Shankar live in a city near you this summer!
