Alex Edmans shares about his book, May Contain Lies: How Stories, Statistics, and Studies Exploit Our Biases and What We Can Do About It on episode 574 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode We think a lie is basically the opposite of truth. So something is a lie if you can disprove it factually. -Alex Edmans What I focus on in my book is a more subtle form of a lie where something could be 100% accurate, but the inferences that we draw from them might be misleading. -Alex Edmans It's not that they're bad people, it's that they're people, they're humans. And if we're a person, we have biases. -Alex Edmans What I'm trying to highlight is the importance of being discerning. We want to have healthy skepticism, but we want to have the same healthy skepticism to something that we do like as something that we don't. -Alex Edmans Resources May Contain Lies: How stories, statistics and studies exploit our biases — and what we can do about it, by Alex Edmans Outliers, by Malcolm Gladwell Cookie Monster Practices Self-Regulation | Life Kit Parenting | NPR Addiction Rare in Patients Treated with Narcotics Taking A Mosaic Approach to AI in the Writing Classroom, presented by Chris Ostro All Else Equal Podcast A Little Life, by Hanya Yanagihara

Unsere heutigen Gäste sind die CEOs von SuperCycle – einem hübsch angesagten Boutique-Workout in Wien. Sie zelebrieren mit ihren Trainerinnen & Trainern den Fitnessgedanken mittels Rad-Workout indoors, inklusive Discokugel und guter, schweißtreibender Musik. Auf der Stage ist der Coach. Sie oder er gibt Musik und Tempo vor. Die Community schwitzt, tanzt, radelt und singt. Im Gespräch mit carpe diem-Host Holger Potye sprechen Rhana Loudon & Olivia „Lilli“ Hromatka über ihre Erfahrungen als weibliche Unternehmerinnen im Fitnessbereich – über Siege und Niederlagen, Learnings, den ganz besonderen Kick und die Glücksgefühle, die du verspürst, wenn du in der Gruppe als Team zur Musik in die Pedale trittst, gleichzeitig Hanteln stemmst und auch noch Choreografie machst. Radfahren als schöne Form der Bewegung Das Konzept von SuperCycle – es gibt mittlerweile vier Clubs in Wien –basiert auf zwei großen Säulen: Community und Sport. Und dann wären da noch Design, Fun, gute Musik, Bewegung, auspowern & empowern, Freundschaften, Happiness und Endorphine. Auf den ersten Blick ist es Choreografie mit Radfahren als Gemeinschaftserlebnis. Auf den zweiten Blick passiert da noch mehr. Man kommt an und wird herzlich empfangen. SuperCycle ist freundlich und inklusiv. Es geht nicht um den Wettbewerb. Man ist einfach da, um zu spüren. Lektionen auf dem Weg Unser Podcastgäste haben auf ihrem Weg als selbstständige Unternehmerinnen viele Lektionen gelernt. Zu den wichtigsten zählen: Du musst nicht alles kontrollieren, manchmal musst du den Dingen ihren Lauf lassen. Und du musst auch nicht alles alleine machen. Hol dir Hilfe, pass auf dich selbst auf und nimm dir Zeit. Schritt für Schritt … wirst du fit – auch im Business. Was wir außerdem aus dieser Episode mitnehmen: • Wieso Schritt für Schritt effektiv bei Herausforderungen ist • Warum du durch Bewegung runterkommen und abschalten kannst • Wie du mit Make-Or-Break-Momenten umgehen lernst • Warum du durch Krisensituationen viel über dich selbst lernst • Wieso SuperCycling besonders gut für die Core-, Rumpf-, Bauchmuskulatur und den Rücken ist • Wie man Trainingseffekt und Spaß in einem Mix aus Cardio und Krafttraining gut kombiniert Viel Vergnügen mit dem Podcast!

We had the honor of meeting Gerry Howard, Class of 1972—one of publishing's most beloved and influential editors. Gerry reflected on his time at Cornell, where he luckily made the switch to an English major, continued a lifelong love of reading, and enjoyed a social life that included a lot of music. A LOT.He shares stories from his legendary career, including what it's like to edit literary giants like David Foster Wallace, Don DeLillo, Hanya Yanagihara, and Roger Ebert. Known for his generosity, humor, and discerning eye, Gerry received the Maxwell E. Perkins Award and the 2022 BIO Editorial Excellence Award for his outstanding work.Gerry also gives us a peek at the biography he's currently writing on famed editor Malcolm Cowley—and takes us back to the time he drove 45 minutes through a blizzard with just one contact lens...wondering why?This is a conversation for anyone who loves books, stories, and the editors who help bring them to life. He's FUN!Huge thanks to Bryna Pomp for this introduction!Not sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University

Der knapp 1000 Seiten umfassende Roman „Ein wenig Leben“ entfaltet die epische Geschichte einer lebenslangen Freundschaft zwischen vier Männern, die sich einst am College in New York begegneten. Sie werden Karriere machen, sie werden einen luxuriösen Lebensstil zelebrieren, sie werden nur selten zufrieden und häufig unglücklich sein, einer von ihnen wird buchstäblich todunglücklich bleiben: Im Mittelpunkt dieses Beziehungsgeflechts steht der brillante und enigmatische Jude St. Francis, der durch seine Genialität und seine tiefe innere Zerbrochenheit fasziniert. Die Freunde werden unaufhaltsam in Judes düstere, von Schmerz geprägte Welt hineingezogen, in der sich nach und nach die Ungeheuer der Vergangenheit bemerkbar machen. Hanya Yanagiharas Roman war 2015 ein Bestseller, kürzlich auf TikTok löste er erneut einen Hype aus. Was aber fasziniert so viele an dieser unfassbaren Leidensgeschichte und all der Gewalt? Was erfahren wir über diese Ökonomie des Schreibens? Mehr dazu von Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen Folge von WfA-Literatur!

We think of fashion and reading as almost polar opposites: one is about creating an image, the other a kind of internal journey. But a number of recent fashion collections have been inspired by books, including by Hanya Yanagihara, Edgar Allan Poe, and Agatha Christie. Fashion brands are producing literature podcasts and hosting salons. And in interior design, TikTok's latest trend is bookshelf wealth. On today's episode, writer Simon Chilvers talks us through what's behind the rise of literary fashion.

Happy Eras Tour week! We start today's ep with a chat around the fact that the average Shein shopper is a 35-year-old woman (one who cares about sustainability). New York City-based designer Batsheva Hay exclusively cast women over the age of 40 during NYFW. We discuss why this is important and reference Put More Gray Hair on the Runways, You Cowards by Nicola Dall'asen for Allure. Next, we recap our Eras Tour experience in Melbourne! This is followed by a chat about the Australian music industry in general and how regional festival Groovin The Moo has been cancelled for 2024 as they cite low ticket sales. We reference this The Latest Victim of Everything-Is-Content? Festivals and Live Music article for Zee Feed by Simran Pasricha. For recommendations, Jas loved The Price of Being ‘First' I made modeling history. Then the internet made me wish I hadn't by model Paloma Elsesser for The Cut.
