Join us (Dr. Henry Emmons and Dr. Aimee Prasek) as we talk about "joyless urgency," a brilliant phrase coined by Marilynne Robinson. The short story is that our modern kind of hustle culture and constant busyness often leads to little personal fulfillment. So what's causing all this urgency? We've highlighted some important reasons in some recent episodes (see links below). Today, we'll introduce another one: too much social media. We'll focus on something called "problematic engagement" and how excessive use on social media can fuel a cycle of anxiety and temporary relief followed by more anxiety and temporary relief and then more anxiety... you get the picture. Awareness is the first step to get out of this cycle and we'll hit on that a bit in this episode. And be sure to tune in for the next several episodes as we'll cover some practical steps you can take to get out of joyless urgency and back into joy.   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!   Sources and Notes: Joy Lab Program: Take the next leap in your wellbeing journey with step-by-step practices to help you build and maintain the elements of joy in your life.

Traditional financial planning treats money like a mathematical equation, but real life doesn't follow spreadsheet projections. In this episode, Hans and Brian delve into why the standard financial planning process - with its fixation on the rate of return and perfect projections - fails to account for the complex realities of human behavior, economic volatility, and life's unexpected twists.They challenge the fundamental assumptions behind retirement planning and explore why focusing solely on mathematical models leaves people unprepared for actual financial success. The conversation reveals how financial advisors can create unrealistic expectations by making flawed assumptions about tax rates, spending needs, and market performance.From the compound interest myth to the behavioral realities that derail even the best-laid plans, this episode exposes why money isn't math and why treating it as such can sabotage your financial future.The Instagram Filter Effect: Financial planning projections are like Instagram filters - they show a polished, unrealistic version of reality. Behind that smooth blue line of projected growth lies market volatility, human behavior mistakes, economic changes, and life emergencies that no spreadsheet can predict.The Rate of Return Obsession: Most financial advice centers entirely around chasing the highest rate of return, but rate of return doesn't pay your bills or give you control over your time. More important factors include income generation, liquidity, and the ability to use your money for multiple purposes throughout your life.The Compound Interest Myth: You cannot get true compound interest- or any interest, actually- from stocks, mutual funds, or market-based investments. Compound interest requires a guaranteed, specified rate of return. Market investments only provide price appreciation, which can go up or down, making "compound interest" calculations meaningless.Why Average Returns Don't Matter: A portfolio that goes down 50% then up 50% averages 0% but you're still negative. Real returns depend on timing, sequence of returns, human behavior, and countless variables that averages can't account for.The Behavioral Reality: Even if two people invest in the same fund at the same time with the same contributions, they'll likely have completely different outcomes due to human behavior - panic selling, FOMO buying, missing payments during emergencies, or getting distracted by the next hot investment.Planning for Today, Not Just Tomorrow: Instead of deferring all enjoyment and financial freedom to some distant retirement date, consider what you can do now to create the life you want. Focus on building income streams and lifestyle flexibility rather than just accumulating numbers on a statement.➡️ Chapters00:00 - Money's Greatest Intrinsic Value05:00 - The Debt Snowball Exception08:00 - The Instagram Filter Analogy13:00 - Average Retirement Savings Reality16:00 - Why Compound Interest Doesn't Exist in Markets20:00 - The 4% Rule Problems26:00 - When Careers Disappear Overnight31:00 - Human Behavior vs. Perfect Math37:00 - The Magnificent Seven Market Manipulation44:00 - Income vs. Rate of Return48:00 - Living Your Dream Life NowGot Questions?

If you've ever caught yourself staring out a window, daydreaming of cobblestone streets in Paris, sunrises over Bali rice fields, or the quiet serenity of a mountain trail, you're not alone. Wanderlust—the irresistible urge to travel—is more than a trendy hashtag or a clever slogan on a hoodie. It's a deeply rooted part of human psychology.A Journey into the Mind of the TravelerAt 1923 Main Street, we live for that pull toward the horizon. But what is wanderlust, really? Why are some of us always dreaming of elsewhere?Let's take a journey into the mind.Born to Roam: The Science of WanderlustWanderlust isn't just a personality quirk—it's something researchers have studied and even tried to measure. There's a term for the personality trait most associated with travel: “high openness to experience.” Psychologists define this as one of the Big Five personality traits, and it's a strong predictor of someone's love for novelty, adventure and yes—travel.Studies have shown that people who score high in openness tend to:Be more curious and imaginativeSeek out variety and new experiencesBe more tolerant of uncertainty and ambiguityIt's not just about loving travel—it's about thriving on the unknown.There's also a genetic component. A study published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior suggested a connection between the DRD4-7R gene and a tendency to love exploring. People with this “wanderlust gene” tend to be more risk-taking and exploratory. Not everyone has it, but those who do are statistically more likely to crave far-off places.The Eternal Elsewhere: Is Wanderlust Good or Bad?Like anything, wanderlust has its pros and cons.On the plus side:Travel lovers tend to be more adaptable and resilient.Exploring new cultures fosters empathy and creativity.Experiences (like travel) are known to bring longer-lasting happiness than possessions.But a constant yearning to be somewhere else can also have its downside. If you're always focused on “the next place,” it can be hard to appreciate the present. Psychologists refer to this as destination addiction—the idea that happiness is always “somewhere else,” just out of reach.The trick? Embrace the adventure, but don't lose sight of the beauty in everyday life. (That's part of why we design our graphic tees and hoodies the way we do—to bring a little bit of your favorite places with you wherever you are—including enjoying those memories at home.)The Social Media Effect: Inspiration or Illusion?We all know that the digital age has turbocharged our wanderlust. Your scrolling fingers barely have time to rest before you're seeing someone's photo of Santorini sunsets or Patagonia peaks.But beware, because social media can play a little game of angel/devil:Angel:It fuels inspiration and discovery—introducing places you might never have dreamed of.It creates a global community of like-minded adventurers.Devil:It can create unrealistic expectations (hello, curated perfection).It may lead to comparison fatigue, making us feel like we're missing out.Research from the University of Pennsylvania showed that limiting social media use to 30 minutes per day can reduce feelings of loneliness and FOMO—especially relevant when every scroll seems to showcase another person's passport stamp or sunrise mountain top photo from a faraway land.The key? Let social media inspire your dreams, but not dictate your worth.Are You Wired for Wanderlust?Wondering if you're part of the wanderlust tribe? Ask yourself:Do I get excited by planning trips—even ones I might never take?Do I sometimes feel more “me” when I'm out of my comfort zone?Am I more drawn to experiences than stuff?Do I keep a mental list (or an actual map) of dream destinations?Have I ever picked a hoodie or tee just because it reminds me of a place I love?If you nodded yes to most of those, chances are—wanderlust runs through your veins.Final Boarding CallWanderlust isn't something to be cured—it's something to be celebrated. The desire to travel pushes us to explore, connect and dream. Whether you're planning your next trip or reminiscing about your last, 1923 Main Street is here to keep that adventurous spark alive. Our travel-inspired apparel lets you wear your passion for the world—wherever you are, wherever you're going next.So go ahead—dream big, roam far, and bring a piece of the journey with you.Shop at 1923 Main Street, the Spirit Brand for Those Who Love to TravelThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and always remember to roam freely and wear boldly.Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

Haley McNamara (SVP at NCOSE) and Dani Pinter (SVP and Director of the Law Center at NCOSE) take a closer look at the impact that pornography use has on our sexual arousal template. More specifically, they discuss some studies that have been done to demonstrate the rise in violent sexual behavior like choking or strangulation. These experiments were able to condition men to be aroused by shapes and inanimate objects, and it demonstrates that when a person is exposed to pornography, they can be conditioned to be aroused by the harmful behaviors that are depicted.     Read the full NCOSE Blog on “Conditional Arousal” - https://bit.ly/44BGIIS   Read the Guardian article on the rise and risks of choking during sex - https://bit.ly/3IQtXl4   View or download this free resource from NCOSE on the Public Health Harms of Pornography - https://bit.ly/PornHealthHarms

In this episode, Phil and JF are joined by Meredith Michael—musicologist, podcaster, and Weird Studies production assistant—for a conversation about animal songs. The phrase is intentionally slippery. Are we talking about songs about animals, or songs by animals? Both, as it turns out. Beginning with three very different human compositions—The Beatles' “Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey,” Hovhaness's And God Created the Great Whales, and Björk's “Human Behavior”—the hosts discuss the roles animals play in human music, mythology, and mind. Along the way, they touch on Pink Floyd, the Beatles' trip to India, heroin addiction, the indeterminacy of singing and screaming, the messiness of inter-species communication, the discovery of whale song, the problem of (not) projecting humanness onto animals, the Book of Genesis, and the porous boundary between the human and non-human worlds. All that (and more) for two of the songs! Phil's pick will be explored in a forthcoming episode. Meredith Michael is a PhD candidate in Musicology at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. She is working on a dissertation about musical mythologies of outer space in the twentieth century. In her spare time she loves making art of all kinds, going for long walks, making friends with cats, and watching cartoons. Meredith hosts the Cosmophonia podcast with Gabriel Lubell.

How to be a skilled conversationalist in work, love, and life.Whether you're trying to build a romantic or professional connection, Rachel Greenwald's advice is exactly the same. “Focus on how you make someone feel more than you focus on the words that you're saying,” she says. As a professional coach, Greenwald helps people develop better communication skills, from executives in the business world to singles in the dating world. Building deep connections may at times be challenging, but as Greenwald says, it's ultimately not complicated. “You're demonstrating that you're interested in someone and that you like them,” she says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Greenwald and host Matt Abrahams discuss relationship-building tactics like small talk, active listening, communication blindspots, and more.Episode Reference Links:Rachel Greenwald Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:10) - Don't Be a Data Collector (06:36) - How to Start and End Small Talk (11:23) - Romance vs. Work Communication (14:44) - The Role of Humor and Light Banter (17:30) - Conversation Pitfalls (21:49) - The Final Three Question (27:35) - Conclusion   ********Take your personal data back with Incogni!

Many ecosystems fail because they're designed for rational actors. The revelation? Humans are systematically irrational—and the ecosystems that embrace this reality dramatically outperform those that don't.While ecosystem architects optimize for logical decision-making, they overlook the implicit forces that drive actual stakeholder behavior. Dr. Aaron Reid, founder of Sentient Decision Science, reveals a mathematical breakthrough: systems that incorporate both conscious reasoning and unconscious emotional drivers achieve 94% behavioral prediction accuracy, compared to 50-60% for traditional rational-actor models.Paradigm Shifts:→ The AI Evolution Imperative: AI models regress toward sameness without fresh human behavioral data—ecosystems that inject implicit intelligence maintain competitive advantage→ Emotion as Universal Currency: All stakeholder decisions follow mathematical formulas where emotion and reason combine in predictable ratios—the first quantifiable model of how humans choose→ The Systematic Irrationality Advantage: Humans are "systematically irrational." Ecosystems that design for this reality dramatically outperform rational-actor models→ The Professional Blind Spot: Even analytical professionals carry measurable unconscious associations—revealing hidden stakeholder coordination challenges in complex systemsEcosystem Impact:→ Traditional stakeholder analysis: 50-60% behavior prediction vs. implicit + explicit methods: 90-96%→ Nissan electric vehicle soundscape: implicit testing identified sounds with intuitive pedestrian safety meaning while maintaining brand fit—solving multi-stakeholder ecosystem challenge→ Meta study: Emotion AI outperformed traditional methods 3X in predicting salesThe Innovation: Patented response-time measurement down to milliseconds, combined with emotional swipe velocity detection and a global database of 1.5B+ subconscious associations. The Breakthrough: The world's first mathematical algorithm integrating System 1 (emotional) and System 2 (rational) processing—enabling ecosystem architects to design for how humans actually behave rather than how they say they behave.Strategic Application: Any multi-stakeholder ecosystem, such as innovation networks, organizational transformation, policy adoption, or aerospace missions, can revolutionize effectiveness by measuring both implicit drivers and explicit feedback in system design.Strategic Reframe: The most adaptive ecosystems will shift from asking "What do stakeholders say they want?" to understanding: "What unconscious forces drive stakeholder behavior—and how do we architect systems that work with human nature rather than against it?"Guest: Dr. Aaron Reid, Founder & CEO, Sentient Decision Science | Ph.D. Experimental PsychologyHost: Dyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin WorksSeries Hosts:Vikram Shyam, Lead Futurist, NASA Glenn Research CenterDyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin WorksEcosystemic Futures is provided by NASA Convergent Aeronautics Solutions Project in collaboration with Shoshin Works.

How to turn doubt and suspicion into hopefulness and trust.There's a lot in the world to make us cynical about other people and their motives and intentions. But by “trusting loudly,” Professor Jamil Zaki believes we can renew our faith in one another.Zaki is a professor of psychology at Stanford, director of the Stanford Social Neuroscience lab, and author of several books, including his most recent, Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness. While many people feel suspicious of others and are reluctant to trust them, Zaki finds that relying on other people is a necessary part of forming relationships.“Acts of trust are the bedrock on which relationships are formed,” Zaki says. “The only way that strangers become friends and friends become best friends, the only way that we can build partnerships is through a willingness to count on one another.”In this Rethinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Zaki joins host Matt Abrahams to discuss practical strategies for fostering trust and challenging our cynical assumptions, offering a hopeful perspective on human nature, backed by surprising scientific insights.Episode Reference Links:Jamil ZakiJamil's Lab: Stanford Social Neuroscience Lab Jamil's Book: Hope for CynicsEp.158 Hope for Cynics: Building Trusting Relationships through Communication Ep.84 Quick Thinks: How Others Define UsEp.129 Connect Deeply: How to Communicate So People Feel Seen and Heard Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:26) - Defining Trust and Its Importance (04:17) - Building Better Trust (05:48) - Understanding Cynicism (08:10) - The Cynicism Spectrum (10:30) - Fostering Hopeful Skepticism (12:44) - Challenges of Overcoming Cynicism (14:36) - Positive Gossip and Positive Noticing (17:34) - Self-Fulfilling Prophecies (20:30) - The Final Three Questions (29:16) - Conclusion  ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

Australia is known for its unusual animal life, from koalas to kangaroos. But once upon a time, the Australian landscape had even weirder fauna, like Palorchestes azael, a marsupial with immense claws and a small trunk. There was Protemnodon mamkurra, a massive, slow-moving, kangaroo-like creature. And Zygomaturus trilobus, a wombat the size of a hippo. They're all extinct now, and researchers are trying to figure out why. Host Flora Lichtman talks with researcher Carli Peters about ZooMS, a technique that allows researchers to use collagen from ancient bone fragments to identify species, offering clues to those ancient extinction events. Peters recently described using the technique in the journal Frontiers in Mammal Science.And, a recent study in the journal Nature Astronomy hints that our own Milky Way galaxy may not be doomed to collide with Andromeda after all. Till Sawala, an astrophysicist at the University of Helsinki, joins Flora to talk about the finding.Guests: Dr. Carli Peters is a postdoctoral researcher at the Interdisciplinary Center for Archaeology and the Evolution of Human Behavior at the University of Algarve in Faro, Portugal.Dr. Till Sawala is an astrophysicist at the University of Helsinki.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Career success takes a status boost, not a power grab.How do you chart the career course you've always imagined? According to Alison Fragale, it's about gaining influence through status, power, and ultimately, being “a likeable badass.”As a research psychologist, professor, speaker, and author, Fragale is on a mission to help women take control of their careers. In her book Likeable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve, she argues that most people have it backwards when pursuing career advancement. "We have talked for a long time [about] getting more power," she explains. However, by focusing first on achieving status (how respected we are), power will often come as a natural byproduct. "If you pursue status before, or at least alongside power, everything is going to fall into place," she says. “Status makes power a lot easier to achieve, and it makes power a lot easier to use.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, hosted by executive producer Jenny Luna, Fragale explores the communication strategies of a likeable badass, from building warmth and assertiveness to authentically connecting with colleagues. Whether you're building relationships in a new company or have been leading one for years, Fragale's insights will help you command respect while communicating with kindness.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premiumEpisode Reference Links:Alison FragaleAlison's Book: Likeable BadassJenny LunaEp.12 It's Not What You Say, It's How You Say It: How To Communicate PowerEp.15 The Art of Negotiation: How to Get More of What You Want  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:21) - Defining Power and Status (05:26) - Why Status Comes Before Power (06:19) - Communication Techniques to Build Status (09:27) - Evaluating Your Habits: Nonverbal and Verbal Cues (11:21) - Mentorship in Developing Communication (13:13) - Adapting to a New Work Culture (18:41) - Representing Difference Without Distance (19:49) - Overcoming Bad First Impressions (21:47) - The Final Three Question (25:32) - Conclusion    *****This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

When you understand these hidden drivers, you can finally reclaim your power and rewrite the script. By decoding the psychology beneath our everyday choices, you gain the ability to make aligned, empowered decisions that lead to real transformation. Why People Do What They D0 The Dopamine Trap: Why Instant Gratification Rules ✔️ Pleasure chemicals in the brain override logic, making us choose what feels good now over what serves us later. ✔️ Fast food, sugar, and alcohol are designed to deliver high-reward brain responses that feel instantly gratifying. ✔️Healthy habits like working out or eating clean usually deliver delayed rewards, which makes them less immediately motivating. Why people do what they do often comes down to neurochemistry. Dopamine is a powerful motivator, and our modern world has weaponized it against us. Junk food, TikTok, and retail therapy offer instant hits of pleasure, whereas long-term efforts like building muscle or writing a book come with delayed rewards. The brain's reward system gets hijacked, and we act accordingly. Over time, this creates a default wiring in the mind that favors short-term comfort over long-term achievement, reinforcing patterns that feel safe but ultimately sabotage personal growth. The Pain-Pleasure Tug of War ✔️ Human wiring is set to avoid discomfort, even if it's in our best interest to lean into it. ✔️Good habits often require effort and feel painful at the start, which makes them harder to stick with. ✔️ Emotional discomfort drives our behavior more than logic, especially when the payoff isn't immediate. We're not rational machines...we're walking emotion factories. Why people do what they do is often a negotiation between short-term relief and long-term gain. Cake feels good now. Gym hurts now. Unless the pleasure of results outweighs the pain of effort, our biology defaults to comfort. The emotional mind, not the logical one, is usually steering the wheel when tough decisions show up. If we don't learn how to sit with discomfort and reframe it as growth, we default to choices that keep us stuck. Learning to lean into discomfort is what separates those who stay stagnant from those who evolve. How Habit Loops Hijack Your Life ✔️ The brain builds automated routines to conserve energy, which can lock us into patterns without conscious thought. ✔️ Every habit is built on a loop: a cue, a behavior, and a reward that reinforces the cycle. ✔️Changing a habit requires disrupting the loop...either by modifying the cue or upgrading the reward. Much of why people do what they do boils down to autopilot behavior. Habits are mental shortcuts...useful until they start sabotaging your goals. Repetition builds routines, and the brain prefers routine because it saves energy and reduces decision-making stress. Without conscious interruption and restructuring, these loops run your life in the background, often without your awareness. You could be living in a cycle that no longer serves you simply because it's familiar and requires less effort than change. Emotions, Stress, and the Comfort Response ✔️ People often use food, screens, or substances to numb emotional discomfort and reduce stress. ✔️ Healthier options like exercise or meditation are effective, but they require more discipline to activate. ✔️ Under stress, the brain reverts to old patterns of relief that are familiar and easy. When life punches you in the gut, your brain goes straight to comfort. That's not weakness...it's wiring. The real work is replacing those quick fixes with healthy emotional regulation strategies that actually serve your future self.

Great strategy starts with a question—and a story worth believing in.A good strategy isn't just built—it's told. For Martin Reeves, chairman of the BCG Henderson Institute and author of The Imagination Machine and Like: The Button That Changed the World, strategy and imagination are both deeply communicative processes, rooted in storytelling, curiosity, and the courage to reframe assumptions.“A strategy is really just a special kind of story,” Reeves explains. “It begins with the present and aspires to a different future—it's fiction made actionable.” To bring that fiction to life, leaders must involve their teams in a co-creative journey and use thoughtful questions to shape not just ideas, but belief and action.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Reeves joins Matt Abrahams to explore how communication fuels strategic thinking, innovation, and organizational reinvention. He outlines his six-step framework for imagination—from embracing anomalies to codifying and continuing ideas—and underscores the role of reframing, deep listening, and even levity in solving complex problems. Together, they unpack how a single “like” button changed our digital behaviors—and what it teaches us about influence and attention today.Episode Reference Links:Martin Reeves Martin's Books: Like / The Imagination Machine Ep.71 Strategy Success: How to Communicate Your Gameplan Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:19) - Using Story in Strategy (05:00) - Questions as a Communication Technology (06:15) - The Six Steps to Harnessing Imagination (10:36) - The “7 Cs” of Imagination and Communication (12:08) - Reframing as a Creative Tool (14:11) - The Like Button: Origin and Evolution (16:14) - Brain Chemistry Behind Digital Liking (18:12) - The Final Three Questions (22:59) - Conclusion    *****This episode is sponsored by Stanford.
