I sit down with Dr. Alok Kanojia (Dr. K), Harvard-trained psychiatrist and founder of Healthy Gamer, to explore why there's an increase in porn addiction and why dating and relationships feel harder than ever before. We dive into exactly what's creating these widespread mental health struggles, especially in men, and what we can and should be doing to protect ourselves, our partners, and the world at large. This episode blends neuroscience, psychology, and timeless wisdom to help you understand your inner wiring. We discuss tools to amp up our distress tolerance, curb addictions, limit our use of technology, increase social connections, and own our agency to help create a better world.  Plus, we discuss a ton of juicy information and opinions around porn usage. We get into: The rise of erectile dysfunction in men Porn's impact on your sex life If porn is bad and exactly how and when to use it Porn's surprising use for things other than masturbation Addictions and how to stop them Dopamine engineering Distress tolerance Declining birth rates Why there's less dateable men (and what to do about it) And so much more For more from Dr. K, find him on YouTube @HealthyGamerGG, online at https://www.healthygamer.gg/, or check out Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health.

How is it that we can feel unhappy when we see someone else happy? And what does that reveal about the condition of our mind and heart? In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore envy through Shakespeare's words, Patrick Henry's warning, and Aghāsura's jealousy in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.12.   They discuss why resentment is a form of spiritual self-sabotage, how bhakti transforms envy into empathy, and why the cowherd boys' simple joy surpasses even the achievements of the greatest yogis.   Highlights include: • Shakespeare on envy: “O, how bitter…” • Patrick Henry's verdict: jealousy = the only vice with no pleasure • Aghāsura as cruelty and violence fueled by envy • Why fame is fickle, and why validation addiction cripples meditation • Snapshots of Vrindavan's joy: bugles, lunch bags, peacock feathers, and even sacred “sadness”   A lively mix of scripture, reflection, and humor—designed to help us see envy for what it is and train the heart toward genuine joy in others' happiness.

In this powerful episode of Authentic Talks 2.0, Shanta sits down with Eunice — solicitor, mindset coach, author, and former Nigerian presidential candidate — to explore what it truly means to live authentically and embrace happiness, even when life feels shattered. From her journey of rising out of poverty in Nigeria to stepping boldly into global leadership, Eunice shares how dropping the masks we wear allows us to reclaim joy, purpose, and freedom. With the backdrop of today's world—where moments of violence remind us of life's fragility—this conversation is a timely reminder that happiness is not the absence of pain, but the choice to rise above fear and live in alignment with who we truly are. Eunice also opens up about her book, Happiness is Free (But Not Effortless), her insights on resilience, ego, and leadership, and her mission to help high achievers find clarity and peace in the midst of chaos.If you've ever questioned what success really means, or how to find happiness when the world feels uncertain, this episode will leave you inspired and empowered. Eunice's Social Media Links:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/euniceatuejide/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/euniceatuejide/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/eunice.atuejideYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@eunice_atuejideHost:Instagram: @AuthenticTalks2.0 Email: AuthenticShanta@gmail.com Website: www.AuthenticTalks2.com Facebook: AuthenticTalks2 #Happiness #Joy #EgoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/authentic-talks-2-0-with-shanta--4116672/support.

In this deeply reflective episode, hosts Mike and Mark unpack Joseph Nguyen's powerful insights from Don't Believe Everything You Think. Together, they explore how our relationship with thought directly shapes our inner peace, emotions, and even our identity. With a carefully curated set of clips and commentary, this episode invites listeners to step outside their minds and reconnect with who they truly are beneath all the noise.Key Concepts & Insights:Thoughts are not reality – They only have power when we believe them.Intention drives emotion – What you seek emotionally is a mirror of what you believe you need.High-stakes pragmatism – When the pressure's on, we need tools to pause, not react.Your true self is always present – The world nudges us gently (or forcefully) back to now.Episode Clip Guide:INTRO: "Thoughts Are Harmless Until You Believe Them" (30s)Joseph Nguyen opens the show with a grounding insight: thoughts themselves are neutral, but the moment we take them as truth, they begin to shape our emotional and mental state. Mike and Mark reflect on how this concept redefines our inner critic—not as an enemy to be fought, but as a voice to be observed.

In the 14th episode of the Ask Away series on the Everyday Judaism Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe addresses a range of student questions with a focus on ethical speech, charity, and prayer. Marilyn's questions on Lashon Hara (evil speech) prompt Rabbi Wolbe to recommend the Chafetz Chaim's book, emphasizing the prohibition against negative speech unless addressing known evil, like ruthless dictators, for educational purposes, and urging caution in the age of social media and AI-generated misinformation, where the Talmud's insistence on sourced information serves as a model. Marilyn also inquires about speaking out against evil or hate crimes, to which Rabbi Wolbe advises leaving such matters to authorities while judging actions, not people, and avoiding judgment unless one fully understands another's circumstances. Bruce questions the ethics of charities sending solicitation items or small amounts of money, and Rabbi Wolbe agrees that sharing donor information is inappropriate and potentially theft, finding such marketing tactics distasteful, though permissible, and advises individuals to choose charities freely without guilt. Eric asks about Psalms for the current war in Israel, leading Rabbi Wolbe to praise Psalm 100 for gratitude and encourage heartfelt personal prayers, and explains Poteach Et Yadecha in Ashrei (Psalm 145) as a reminder of human dependence on Hashem's provision, fostering trust (bitachon) and calm by recognizing that all needs are met in their proper time. Rabbi Wolbe concludes by urging mindful recitation of prayers to alleviate stress and cultivate happiness, trusting in Hashem's care.In this episode of Ask Away we address these questions and topics:Marilyn: Musar teaches us silence, which means guarding our tongue, a tool to consider the potential impact of our words.

Have you ever wondered why no matter how much you change your personal circumstances or how successful your career is the same old pain seems to follow you? In this episode, Summer explains why people don´t find true happiness and contentment through new possessions, relationships, experiences, careers and surroundings. You will learn why facing and healing the parts of yourself that you have been avoiding and hiding from is actually the key to breaking free from those feelings of dissatisfaction and disappointment. Summer explains how to finally stop running from your pain, understand and address the real roots of your unhappiness, so that you can experience the peace and contentment you seek. KEY TAKEAWAYS Keeping yourself busy or pushing down the inner conflict you have won't stop it from seeping out and spilling over into your life. That approach is just a sticking plaster. You only end up with bigger issues. Undealt with problematic emotions that have nowhere to go, will catch up with and overwhelm you. Sometimes you do need to change your surroundings e.g. leave a bad relationship. But be prepared for the fact that this will only address your problems, you will still need to face and deal with what is inside you. Until you face what's inside, you will forever be running. The only solution is to turn around and face the version of you that you keep running from. BEST MOMENTS “Running, hiding or avoiding, won't stop the inner pain that will eventually catch up with us and manifest as deeper and probably bigger problems.” “What is undealt with doesn't just disappear. It gains momentum and it will make itself loud enough within your life until you have to stop and acknowledge the emotions and pain at its root cause.” “We can book the one way ticket, lay in the sun and sit on the beach on the other side of the world, but if you haven't faced what's going on inside, the anxiety and depression will be right there on the sun bed next to you.” “Happiness can otherwise be described as peace and contentment as a general constant in our life. So, let's aim for that.” HOST BIO I am Summer. A spiritual being having human experiences. From the age of 11 I have been obsessed with all things self-development; looking at it from every angle, in pursuit of finding answers for my life. Like all other humans I am figuring out. Along the way I have discovered knowledge and concepts that have changed my existence and helped navigate my youth. The process of learning and undoing, growing and evolving has lead me right here.

May you have the courage to stand in your own knowing.May you find the grace to let go of striving for perfection, and instead embrace the sacredness of your imperfect, human journey.May luminous moments of optimism and possibility guide you,even as you move through gray times of despair and doubt.May you have the wisdom to choose differently, to prioritize what truly matters,creating a legacy that lingers. May you always find solace in the holy ground beneath your feet,the sacred presence that dwells within and all around you.Shine your light, dear one,your small, precious gifts are needed in this world.Happy Spring Equinox!

She illustrates how reframing errors as stepping stones can unlock growth, resilience, and opportunities that perfectionism will always deny us. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://affordanything.com/one-critical-thing-holding-back/ Quotes to ponder: "Most people don't fail because they try and it doesn't work out. They fail because they don't try at all." "Mistakes are the tuition we pay for the privilege of learning." "If you're not making mistakes, you're not making decisions."

When things do not go as planned, acceptance helps soften the pain, keep you present, and allow hope for what the future may bring. Affirmation:I accept life as it is in this moment. I allow myself to feel my emotions, but I release the constant story that things should be different. In this acceptance, I find peace, even in times of challenge.

Even just a few minutes of dancing can shift energy, release emotions, and remind us to care for ourselves while we care for others.Summary: Dance isn't just fun—it's scientifically shown to make us happier, ease stress, and strengthen social bonds. From swaying in the kitchen to joining a community class, movement helps us regulate our nervous systems and reconnect with joy. In this episode of The Science of Happiness, we explore what the science says about how dancing supports well-being for parents, caregivers, and families.How To Do This Practice:  Pick a Song You Love: Choose music that makes you want to move. Even if it's just a little sway. It could be something upbeat or a song from your childhood that feels comforting. Start Small: Give yourself permission to move for just five minutes. No pressure to “work out”—the goal is to shift your energy and lift your mood. Follow Your Body: Sway, step, shake, or spin. There's no right or wrong way. Let your body lead instead of worrying about looking a certain way. Play with Pausing: Try stopping mid-song for a “freeze” moment, then move again. Pausing helps build awareness, self-control, and a sense of play. Invite Connection: If you have kids, family, or friends around, pull them into the movement. Science shows that dancing together strengthens bonds and amplifies joy. Release and Reset: Notice how you feel after moving— lighter, calmer, maybe more grounded. Let dance be a way to release tension and return to your day with more energy.
