In today's episode, host Barbara Hannah Grufferman talks with a leading psychologist and Zen monk about karma and happiness. What is karma, anyway? Do good and good will come back to you, right? Behave badly and well . . . suffer the consequences. But karma, as Dr. Douglas Gentile will explain, is a bit more complicated than that, and in fact, plays a starring role in getting unstuck and – hopefully – finding true happiness. Dr. Douglas Gentile is Distinguished Professor in Liberal Arts and Sciences at Iowa State University, and is considered one of the top experts on the positive and negative effects of media on children and adults. He is not only a renowned psychologist, expert on the media, was named one of the Top 300 Professors in the United States by the Princeton Review, is an accomplished jazz musician, but is also a Zen monk. Dr. Gentile approaches the discussion with Barbara through two distinct but connected lenses: as a psychologist, and also as a practicing Buddhist and Zen monk who believes in the power of karma to help people achieve happiness. His very thoughtful and thought-provoking book, Finding the Freedom to Get Unstuck and be Happier, delves into the many ways we all have a tendency to repeat negative patterns of behavior, very often which started way back in our childhoods, while offering ideas on how harnessing the power of karma can help reverse a lot of that negativity, and bring . . . perhaps . . . some freedom and some happiness.

Dr. Douglas Gentile is an award-winning research scientist, educator, author, and is professor of developmental psychology at Iowa State University. In this episode, he and Melanie discuss the science that supports the addictive quality of video games and the resistance of parents to believe the evidence supporting the conclusion to the question, "Are video games addictive?"  He hints as to what is coming in the near future in regards to the diagnosis of issues related to screen use and the creation of screening tools to identify when overuse becomes a problem. Dr. Gentile concludes that video games don't allow kids to build the skills they need in the real world and cautions parents, "Don't feed the bears!" He encourages setting limits and creating balance in your family despite the resistance kids may present. "It's worth having the fight...trust that parenting matters."

Everyone knows that many young people play video games based on violent themes, and that shows have far more violence than when adults were kids. When COVID hit, many parents started to allow their kids to play games that they wouldn't have before COVID just because it has been such a source of connection and whatnot.  In today’s episode, Dr. Ruston wants to understand what are the ways that this violence impacts our youth. We hear from one of Dr. Ruston’s favorite researchers in this area, Douglas Gentile, Ph.D., a child psychologist who has been doing groundbreaking research in this field for over 25 years.

A research psychologist, a jazz musician and a Zen monk walk into a bar and say, “Hi, I'm Dr. Douglas Gentile.”As one of the most oft-cited researchers in the space, Doug shares fascinating insight into the links between violent video games and child aggression. With his signature dry humor, Doug also tells the tale of how he ended up performing the bumper music for the Dee Snider radio show (accompanied by yours truly) and how the absurdity of life connects his passions and interests.

I think many parents are in denial as to how addicted their kids actually are to their online games and social media accounts. I mean who wants to admit to that? And anyway, how do you know?

It's amazing how big an impact Robin Williams' suicide had on society. Celebrities, presidents, musicians, little kids - the whole world noticed.    For today's Book-of-the-Day I was reading Emily Herbert's, "Robin Williams - When The Laughter Stops."   It made me think deeply about human happiness.   The book lists different theories on the reason for Williams' suicide: money problems, bad marriages, drugs and alcohol, being bullied as a child, an absent mother, Parkinson's prescription drug side effects, a highly sensitive personality, and addiction to video games.    He struggled with demons his whole life.   Here are my notes:   1. You can't be delusional: "One of Williams' tragedies was that, although an exceptionally intelligent man, he couldn't see the truth about himself."   2. Video games made his depression worse: "Dr. Douglas Gentile says, 'I was expecting to find that depression leads to video gaming. But (our study) found the opposite. Depression seems to follow the video gaming. As kids became addicted the depression seems to get worse… I think it's truly co-morbid - where medical conditions are intertwined."   3. Physical exercise helped his depression: "Robin Williams took up cycling… And the more he cycled the better he felt… Physical exercise helps anyone with depression…" Williams' said, "Cycling saved my life… "   4.  He knew how to change the world: "No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world. "   I don't know the answers to these hard issues but I know there is much to learn from mentors who achieve great things like Robin Williams did.   P.S. My favorite Robin Williams joke: "If women ran the world, we wouldn't have wars, just intense negotiations every 28 days." HahaLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
