New technology has created market bubbles throughout history. The technology changes, the times change, yet human behavior does not. The price of an asset ultimately is what someone is willing to pay for it. When there are not more buyers willing to pay the price, the correction starts. It is not about intelligence. It is about understanding the perceived value and what time it is. Sir Issac Newton made money in the Tulip Mania in the 1500's and got out. The prices continued to increase. He resisted reentering the market because he knew logically that prices were too high. Eventually, he reinvested near the top, then lost most of his money. The Climax Rally is often the final cycle of a bull market. Excitement and euphoria are at the highest. It is also the most dangerous and risky portion of a bull market. This the "Golden Era" of fixed assets. The best annuity products are available in my 26 year career! There are index annuities without caps that offer unlimited upside potential. They also protect against downside market risk. The principal is guaranteed.  Contact me at ferenc@yourpersonalbank.com or 866-515-6280 for more info.

Er zijn in Nederland elk jaar meer dan 1200 festivals te bezoeken. Van kleine tot enorme waar meer dan een kwart miljoen mensen op af komen. Het is zweterig, je moet ver reizen, ver lopen, in een klein rot tentje slapen, in de rij staan voor douchen, gore wc's en muntjes om weer in de rij te staan voor bier. Om daarna hutje mutje tegen elkaar aan te staan bij de ene band, zodat je geen tijd hebt om de andere te zien. Waarom in godsnaam zouden we dat willen doen? Psychologen Thijs Launspach en Lennard Toma duiken in de aantrekkingskracht van festivals en waarom we dat eigenlijk als erg prettig ervaren.

This week on Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski sits down with architect, researcher, educator, and design leader Isun Kazerani for a fascinating conversation that explores architecture far beyond buildings themselves. Drawing on her international experience across Australia and the United States, Isun shares how architecture intersects with fashion, culture, politics, mindfulness, and human identity—and why architects have a far greater influence on society than many realize.The discussion explores everything from the surprising parallels between fashion and architecture to regenerative design, adaptive reuse, sensory experience, and the responsibility architects have to shape healthier, more equitable communities. Isun explains why timeless design matters, how architecture can encourage mindfulness through movement and materiality, and why slowing down the design process often produces more meaningful and enduring buildings. She also reflects on the lessons she has learned leading her own practice, conducting doctoral research on human experience in architecture, and working across multiple countries and design cultures.The conversation also dives into the political power of architecture, examining how the built environment can either create barriers or foster inclusion through thoughtful urban planning and design. Along the way, Isun shares her perspective on preserving cultural identity, designing for human emotion, the future of regenerative architecture, and why great buildings should function as living systems that evolve alongside the people who inhabit them. It's a wide-ranging and inspiring discussion about the profound ways architecture influences not only our cities, but our everyday lives, our relationships, and the future of our communities.More About Isun KazeraniIsun Kazerani is the founder and director of M00-Tion Studio, which she established in Melbourne, Australia, in 2019. Since beginning her architecture career in 2005, she has worked on a wide range of boutique residential, commercial, and public projects, with a strong focus on design quality, attention to detail, and the importance of the user's lived experience.With a foundation in larger-scale projects, including residential and commercial towers and public spaces, supported by her background in architectural engineering, she has also collaborated on numerous creative concept projects, particularly at the intersection of fashion and architecture, including runway stage design.She earned her PhD in 2017, focusing on design strategy and techniques of design representation through collaboration with four award-winning international architectural practices. In addition to professional practice, she taught architecture for approximately eight years as a part-time lecturer and studio lead and has been invited to serve as both a keynote speaker and design critic at architectural events.In 2023, she relocated to New York City following the impacts of Australia's COVID-19 lockdowns and the country's political and economic climate. Since then, she has practiced in leadership roles and as a consultant, primarily in New York, as well as in Massachusetts and California.Contact:https://m00-tion-studio.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-isun-a-kazerani-481628107/ https://www.instagram.com/m00tion_studio/ https://www.youtube.com/@isunakazerani5306 Where To Find Us:https://bbfhpod.advancedglazings.com/www.advancedglazings.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/better-buildings-for-humans-podcastwww.linkedin.com/in/advanced-glazings-ltd-848b4625https://twitter.com/bbfhpodhttps://twitter.com/Solera_Daylighthttps://www.instagram.com/bbfhpod/https://www.instagram.com/advancedglazingsltdhttps://www.facebook.com/AdvancedGlazingsltd

“Communication is the number one way to remove friction.”If communication is the key to connection, then removing friction is what makes every interaction work. According to Vanessa Van Edwards, the most effective communicators aren't just skilled with words—they know how to align their gestures, body language, and presence to make others feel at ease. A behavioral researcher and bestselling author of Captivate and Cues, Van Edwards studies the subtle signals that shape how we are perceived. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, she joins Matt Abrahams to explore the hidden factors that influence communication, from purposeful gestures and expressive body language to the words, images, and visual cues that build trust and credibility.Takeaways:Great communication goes beyond words. Gestures, facial expressions, visual cues, and even the language we use in emails and meetings can either create friction or build trust, clarity, and connection.Focus on the other person, not yourself. By applying the Platinum Rule—treating others as they want to be treated—and intentionally putting people at ease, communicators can foster stronger relationships, deeper conversations, and greater influence.Activity:Practice the Platinum Rule. Before your next important conversation, meeting, or email, take one minute to answer: “What does this person need from me right now?” Then tailor your communication to their priorities, concerns, and preferred style—not your own. Afterward, reflect on how that shift changed the quality of the interaction.Printable PDF of Takeaways & ActivityEpisode Reference Links:Vanessa Van EdwardsVanessa's Books: Cues / CaptivateEp.137 When Words Aren't Enough: How to Excel at Nonverbal Communication 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 (01:01) - The Importance of Strategic Communication (01:45) - The Power of Gestures (04:10) - A Readiness Check for Speakers (05:56) - Over-Signaling vs. Under-Signaling (08:18) - Dangerous Words in Communication (12:27) - Imagery Cues & First Impressions (15:03) - Virtual Backgrounds Matter (17:33) - The Platinum Rule (19:01) - The Final Three Questions (23:59) - Conclusion

Kennst du das Gefühl, völlig erschöpft zu sein – und trotzdem nicht abschalten zu können? Der Körper ist müde, aber der Kopf macht Überstunden. Gedanken kreisen, der Schlaf kommt nicht und selbst kleine Dinge bringen uns aus dem Gleichgewicht. In dieser Folge sprechen Leon und Atze über Hyperarousal – einen Zustand innerer Alarmbereitschaft, den viele Menschen kennen. Warum springt unser innerer Rauchmelder manchmal schon bei Wasserdampf an? Weshalb bleiben manche Menschen ständig wachsam, gereizt oder angespannt? Und natürlich stellt sich die wichtigste Frage: Wie schaffen wir es, den Alarm wieder leiser zu drehen? Eine Folge über innere Unruhe, den Sinn unserer Alarmsysteme und die Kunst, wieder zur Ruhe zu finden.

In this episode of Architecture, Design & Photography, Trent Bell sits down with architect and author Danish Kurani to discuss his latest book, The Spaces That Make Us: Why Design Is Broken and How We Can Create a Happier, Healthier World.  Trent and Danish explore the powerful ways architecture and environmental design shape our psychology, behavior, relationships, and overall well-being. From the spaces we grow up in to the cities we move through every day, the discuss how thoughtful design can influence how we connect, feel, and live. The Spaces That Make Us: Why Design Is Broken and How We Can Create a Happier, Healthier World: https://www.amazon.com/Spaces-That-Make-Us-Healthier/dp/1400249120 About Danish Kurani: Danish Kurani sees how buildings are failing to nourish people. After witnessing how poorly designed environments hold back people across the globe – from the middle of Manhattan to villages in India – he's made it his mission to remake architecture for human flourishing. His groundbreaking designs for New York City, Google, and communities on four continents prove that thoughtful architecture can unlock human potential. Named one of the World's Most Innovative Architects by Fast Company, Kurani has pioneered a human-centered approach that's transforming lives worldwide. His work spans from floating homes in disaster-prone areas to schools in informal settlements, always focusing on one question: how can architecture solve our most pressing social challenges?  A Harvard-trained architect and urban designer, Kurani's architectural ideas have been shared at leading institutions including Stanford, MIT, Harvard, and Columbia, and featured in TIME, World Economic Forum, and the Wall Street Journal. National governments recognize him as a leading voice in social impact architecture – not because he builds beautiful buildings, but because he builds spaces that work for real people.

Welcome back to the Women Petpreneurs Presents Book Club In this week's special book club episode, we're diving into the "Surrounded by" series by Thomas Erikson. Each of us picked a different book from the lineup— Surrounded by Narcissists, Surrounded by Energy Vampires, and Surrounded by Psychopaths—to unpack what we learned and how it relates to both our professional and personal lives. We'll explore which book is the best starting point, why understanding personality types can transform the way we interact with people (and pets!), and share honest thoughts about which recommendations are best for the grooming industry. Whether you've read the series or are just curious about decoding human behavior, settle in for a candid, insightful discussion that promises a few laughs and plenty of real talk.

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're discussing the tragic state of the modern world.From the protests in Ireland to growing frustration across Western nations, many people feel as though their voices are no longer being heard by the institutions that claim to represent them. I'll share why I support the right of people to protest and why I believe the demonstrations in Ireland have resonated with so many people around the world.We'll also discuss what I see as a deeper spiritual crisis affecting modern society. Many of the political, cultural, and social problems we face today are symptoms of a broader moral and spiritual decline, one that cannot be solved through politics alone.In this episode:My thoughts on the protests in IrelandWhy so many citizens now feel disconnected from their governmentsThe growing divide between ordinary people and powerful institutionsThe role of faith, morality, and personal responsibility in rebuilding societyWhy I believe many of today's crises point to a deeper spiritual battleWhether you agree or disagree, this episode is an invitation to think critically about the direction of our culture, our governments, and our future.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Together, they are the co-authors of The Pricing Sprint, a practical framework that helps organizations make better pricing decisions through customer insight, behavioral science, and cross-functional alignment. In this episode, Jenny and Ann explore why pricing is ultimately a human problem—even as AI becomes more capable of analyzing data, running scenarios, and optimizing decisions.  If you're responsible for pricing, product strategy, or commercial growth, this episode will change how you think about behavioral pricing, customer decision-making, and why human behavior still wins in the age of AI.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Learn why pricing problems are often people problems—not pricing problems. Discover how small changes in pricing presentation, packaging, and choice can increase willingness to pay. Understand why AI can improve pricing decisions, but human judgment still drives great pricing.   "Most pricing problems aren't pricing problems. They're human behavior problems." — Jenny Millar   Topics Covered: 01:20 – Why Great Pricing Starts With Human Behavior, Not Spreadsheets. How human-centered design helps companies create pricing that customers actually understand and respond to. 03:59 – Are Buyers Irrational? The Debate Every Pricing Team Needs to Hear. Why customer decisions aren't always driven by logic—and how pricing teams can use that reality to their advantage. 10:19 – The Hidden Link Between Behavioral Economics and Willingness to Pay. How customer perceptions, context, and price presentation influence what buyers are actually willing to spend. 12:15 – The Pricing Sprint: A Faster Way to Improve Pricing Decisions.

Solving One of Business's Toughest Questions. Why pricing often falls between departments and what successful companies do differently to create alignment. 26:51 – Can AI Improve Pricing Without Replacing Human Judgment? Where AI can help pricing teams move faster—and where human insight remains irreplaceable. 28:11 – Why the Way You Present a Price Can Matter More Than the Price Itself. Real examples of how small changes in pricing presentation can drive revenue growth without changing the underlying price.   Key Takeaways: "When behavioral pricing is done right, it actually leads to higher customer satisfaction and better customer experience." – Ann Padley  "Most pricing problems aren't pricing problems—they're human behavior problems." – Jenny Millar  "Loss aversion, status quo bias, and misaligned incentives are all shaping pricing decisions inside a company." – Jenny Millar  "Every dollar that flows into an organization is the result of a pricing decision." – Jenny Millar    Resources Mentioned: The Pricing Sprint - The new book by Jenny Millar and Ann Padley that outlines a human-centered approach to pricing, combining behavioral science, customer research, experimentation, and cross-functional decision-making.

Yascha Mounk and Paige Harden discuss twin studies, heritability research, and why genetic influence varies across different traits and populations. Kathryn Paige Harden is a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, where she leads the Developmental Behavior Genetics lab and serves as Director of Clinical Training. Her latest book is Original Sin: On the Genetics of Vice, the Problem of Blame, and the Future of Forgiveness.

Send us Fan MailThe word “fatherless” gets thrown around online a lot—especially when people are criticizing women's behavior. In this episode, I explore why childhood circumstances are so often used as adult insults, and why phrases like “fatherless behavior” and “your parents must be proud” seem to carry a particular stigma.Drawing from my own experience growing up without my biological father, I reflect on personal responsibility, dignity, family influence, and the tendency to reduce people to their upbringing.This isn't about blaming fathers, defending bad behavior, or creating a battle between men and women. It's about asking a simple question:At what point do we stop being defined by where we came from and start being judged as individuals?Support the showThanks for listening to Unscripted: A Calm Take on the Double Standard.These conversations aren't about telling you what to think.

Think all psychopaths look like cold-blooded villains? Think again. In Part 2, we dive into the chilling case of Gen Z singer D4vid, examine how manipulative people slip under the radar, and (most importantly) arm you with strategies to spot and outmaneuver manipulators in love and life. World-renowned human behavior and body language expert Mark Bowden returns to show us the power tactics used by narcissists and psychopaths, how "quick set intimacy" works, and what questions to ask yourself to stay safe on dates and in relationships. We'll break down why manipulators seem to read your deepest desires, how “love bombing” and gaslighting can hijack your confidence, and why you have to pay attention not just to what people do, but to what they DON'T do. Mark even roleplays the exact tactics predators use, so you can see through the smoke and mirrors for yourself. If you want to make your boundaries ironclad and never be played again, this episode is your armor.

Send us Fan MailA naked dinner party assignment. An alligator living by a dollar store. A “be more efficient” book that actually teaches you to rest. Lifestyle and wellness reporter Madeleine Aggeler has made a career out of taking the internet's strangest trends seriously enough to find the human truth inside them, and she joins us to explain how that work actually happens. We start with Madeleine's unconventional journalism origin story: a childhood spent devouring magazines, a detour through the Peace Corps and Foreign Service ambitions, then a one-year gamble in New York that turns temp work and small gigs into a real reporting career. She breaks down what it was like learning on the fly during the high-output days at The Cut, why writing fast can sharpen your voice and how a bold pandemic-era move helped her chase the kind of long-form journalism she wanted to do. From there, we get practical about idea generation and wellness reporting. Madeleine shares how she spots stories, why trusting your gut often beats guessing what readers want and how she balances curiosity with healthy skepticism in an age of nonstop health content. We talk about trends that surprised her, trends she'd never do again and the “boring” habits that keep showing up as the most reliable wellness advice. Finally, she tells us what she's watching now, including strength training culture and the relationship side of GLP-1 medications. If you like smart, funny reporting that still asks big questions about loneliness, dating culture, beauty standards and self-improvement, hit subscribe, share this with a friend and leave a review so more listeners can find us.Madeleine Aggeler's author page at The Guardianhttps://www.theguardian.com/profile/madeleine-aggelerMadeleine's LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/madeleine-aggeler/Blueskyhttps://bsky.app/profile/mmaggeler.bsky.social 

Ever wonder if you've secretly dated a psychopath? Statistically, one in twenty people has psychopathic traits, and if you've been in the dating game for long, chances are you've run into one and didn't even know. This episode is here to give you tools that could literally save your heart, your sanity, and possibly your life. I'm joined by the world's #1 Communication Keynote Speaker and expert in Body Language and Human Behavior, Mark Bowden, who's here to teach us how to spot psychopaths, decode lies, and protect yourself from manipulators before it's too late. We break down the infamous Chris Watts case, dissecting the chilling body language and story inconsistencies that revealed the shocking truth. Mark gives us the ultimate five-point checklist for detecting deception, shares why some people don't show empathy, and teaches you how to read the red flags even when someone's acting like the perfect partner. This is a masterclass in self-defense of your mind, your emotions, and your intuition. SHOWNOTES Statistical reality: 1 in 20 have psychopathic traits. Chris Watts introduced as case study.

Over-protesting innocence: when it signals guilt, plus the importance of conversational stakes. The psychology behind power, narcissism, and why some choose destruction over divorce. Unmasking the inner world: how psychopathic people process “unfairness” and why they act out.  How to assess guilt: what to do when your gut says “something's off.” Understanding charm as a ruse: the D4vid case and why “safe” can be smoke and mirrors.

In this episode of ABA on Call, Rick Kubina and Doug Kostewicz interview a renowned Norwegian dog trainer about the science of behavior across species. Morten Egtvedt shares his journey from training search-and-rescue dogs as a teenager to helping introduce clicker training throughout Norway alongside Karen Pryor. The discussion explores how core behavioral principles such as timing, reinforcement, fluency, shaping, and criterion adjustment matter far more than any specific training technique. Morten also discusses the differences between reinforcement-based and punishment-based training, the role of motivation in learning, and why behavior analysis provides a practical framework for understanding both dogs and humans. Listeners will hear compelling parallels between animal training, education, sports performance, and everyday human interactions, while gaining insight into how fluency-based instruction creates durable, reliable behavior change.

The Psychology of Overwhelm, Status, Trauma & Human Behavior — Dr. Heim Live Q&A

What keeps us from being more social? Nick Epley calls it a “mind-reading mistake.”We all think about what others think, particularly what they think about us. The problem, says Nick Epley, is that we're almost always wrong.Epley is a professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and author of A Little More Social: How Small Choices Create Unexpected Happiness, Health, and Connection. What keeps people from engaging authentically, connecting deeply, and enjoying a meaningful social life? It comes down to an error of social cognition, “A mind-reading mistake,” Epley says. “If I don't think you want to talk to me, I won't try. And I'll never find out that I'm wrong about that.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Epley and host Matt Abrahams explore why we hold ourselves back from meaningful conversation, and what happens when we don't. From taking an interest in others to sharing more freely about ourselves, Epley shares strategies for being a little more social — and making your life considerably better as a result.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Nick EpleyNick's Book: A Little More SocialEp.133 From Good to Super: How Supercommunicators Unlock the Language of Connection 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 (01:31) - Problems with Body Language (04:15) - Perspective Getting (07:14) - Asking Better Questions (08:41) - Moving Beyond Small Talk (10:13) - Why We Hold Back (11:33) - Advice For Introverts (15:17) - A Little More Social (18:34) - The Final Three Questions (24:45) - Conclusion

How can we approach aging with more joy, empathy, and meaningful connection?We often talk about lifespan, or how long we live, but Kerry Burnight believes the more important question is how fully we live along the way.Burnight is a gerontologist, former professor of geriatric medicine, and author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. Drawing from decades of experience working with older adults, she discusses why adopting a “growth aging mindset” can change the way we think about getting older, and why autonomy matters just as much as safety in conversations with aging loved ones. As she puts it, “it's not just the big moments, it's the little moments, too.”In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast Talk Smart, Burnight and host Matt Abrahams explore the role of listening, storytelling, and empathy in effective communication across generations. Through memorable examples and actionable advice, Burnight offers a compassionate framework for talking about — and thinking about — aging differently.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kerry BurnightKerry's Book: JoyspanEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across Generations 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 (02:53) - Aging Mindsets (05:21) - Give of the Day (08:49) - Difficult Aging Conversations (19:21) - Explaining Complex Ideas (20:50) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Morgan sits down with former military operator, behavioral expert, and communication specialist Chase Hughes to break down the hidden psychology behind influence, persuasion, and human behavior.Chase shares how elite interrogation and behavioral techniques can be applied to sales, leadership, negotiation, relationships, and everyday communication. From identity framing and covert influence to metaphors, elicitation, and detecting deception, this episode dives deep into how people make decisions often without realizing it.The conversation explores why resonance matters more than persuasion, how to guide people toward their own conclusions, and the neuroscience behind trust, communication, and compliance. Chase also explains how these same principles are used in military intelligence, legal trials, and high-level sales environments.This episode is a masterclass in influence, communication, and understanding human nature.Episode Timestamps0:00 Intro & The Psychology of Influence 0:51 Meet Chase Hughes 2:06 Taking Control of Conversations 4:06 Resonance vs Persuasion 6:08 Identity & Human Behavior 9:09 The Power of Identity Framing 12:10 Metaphors & Influence 15:08 Overcoming Fear & Rejection 17:57 Dreamfest 18:51 The Neuroscience of Communication 21:31 Plato, Persuasion & Human Nature 24:11 Influence in Sales & Trials 28:21 Selling Through Human Psychology 31:02 Why Scripts Don't Work 32:39 Elicitation & Getting People to Open Up 37:55 Detecting Lies & Behavioral Changes 43:18 The Confession Formula Explained 46:22 Using Influence in Everyday Life 47:14 Social Anxiety & Confidence 47:28 Dreamfest Reminder 48:42 NCI Sales & Human-Based Selling 50:16 Building Better Relationships Through Communication 51:13 Final Advice to His Younger Self About Chase HughesChase Hughes is a former military operator, behavioral profiling expert, and founder of Neuro-Cognitive Intelligence (NCI).After serving 20 years in the military, Chase transitioned into teaching advanced human behavior, influence, and interrogation techniques used by intelligence agencies, law enforcement, and high-level negotiators around the world.Today, he trains professionals in communication, sales, behavioral analysis, and leadership through the lens of neuroscience and psychology.

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." — Marcel ProustHarvard psychologist Dr. Ellen Langer is known globally as the “Mother of Mindfulness” and the “Mother of Positive Psychology.” Dr. Langer is the author of 200+ research articles on human behavior and its consequences. She has studied people in businesses, schools, and nursing homes, as well as other everyday scenarios, to revolutionize the understanding of psychology, health, and human performance.In our first episode together (Episode 178), Dr. Langer established the framework of Mind-Body Unity, showing that our physical health is a direct reflection of our mental expectations and the labels we choose to accept.Today, we're moving to high-stakes application—tackling everything from chronic pain and traumatic labels to the crushing anxiety and overwhelm that so many people (especially working parents) are facing in the modern world.In this episode:• How to use symptom variability to manage chronic pain.• Practical tools to dismantle anxiety and unrelenting stress once and for all.• Proven methods for mindful parenting and avoiding burnout.• How the “power of possibility” can fundamentally shift your physiology.Let's WIN THE DAY with Dr. Ellen Langer!_

A full life isn't about the quantity of time, but the quality.Our lifespan might describe how long we live, but it doesn't say anything about how well we live. For that, Kerry Burnight says, we need a different measure: joyspan.Burnight is a gerontologist, former professor of geriatric medicine, and author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. In her decades working with older adults, she noticed a gap: “I would have a lot of people who lived long lives and were in pretty darn good physical health. They were miserable.” That observation led her to dig into the research on well-being — and to find what it takes to enjoy a long life, not just endure one.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Burnight joins host Matt Abrahams to explore her joyspan framework, explaining how growth, connection, adapting, and giving contribute to a full life. From changing the conversation around aging to communicating more effectively across generations, Burnight offers practical wisdom for living better at any age.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kerry BurnightKerry's Book: JoyspanEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across Generations 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 (03:21) - Defining Joyspan (05:28) - The Joyspan Matrix (11:04) - Learning to Adjust (11:58) - The Power of Stories (15:39) - Internalized Ageism (18:41) - The Final Three Questions (26:00) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

When medieval historian Peter Jones found himself spiraling into depression while teaching at a frigid Siberian university with icicles sprouting from his eyelashes, he asked himself what a medieval sufferer would do—and discovered something shocking: the Middle Ages, for all its reputation as a dark and superstitious time, was actually the golden age of self-help. A medieval merchant consulting a priest about melancholia would receive diagnosis, confession, and penance based on the Seven Deadly Sins, a psychological framework that mapped the seven basic patterns of human thought long before modern psychiatry existed. What we dismiss today as a catalog of Thou Shall Nots was actually an intricate system for understanding behavior—so effective that Reid Hoffman, founder of LinkedIn, credited it for his social media success by mapping each sin to platforms: Tinder on Lust, Yelp on Gluttony, LinkedIn on Greed, Netflix on Sloth, Twitter on Anger, Facebook on Envy, and Instagram on Pride. Today's guest is Peter Jones, author of Self-Help from the Middle Ages: What the Seven Deadly Sins Can Teach Us About Living. We discuss how fourth-century Egyptian monk Evagrius Ponticus formulated eight "wicked thoughts" to help monks identify psychological roots of temptation, why Pope Gregory the Great consolidated them into seven sins in the sixth century, and how the 1215 Lateran Council made yearly confession mandatory, transforming intellectual theology into practical psychology for the masses. Jones explains why sloth was considered the "ultimate danger"—a stagnation of the soul and refusal to fulfill one's purpose—and how medieval thinkers like Levi ben Abraham argued that avarice shackles the soul to material distractions while knowledge remains the only possession that cannot be stolen, making intellectual acquisitions the cure for greed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
