Podcast appearances and mentions of Jonathan Haidt

One in three babies is using a phone or tablet by six months old. By age two, almost one in ten is averaging around four hours of screen time a day. New research into screen use during the first years of life has landed with a confronting warning for parents. Justin and Kylie unpack what researchers call “digital soothing”, why screens can crowd out the interactions babies need for healthy development, and what parents can do when zero screen time feels almost impossible. KEY POINTS 16% of Australian three and four year olds had recently used TikTok, YouTube or Instagram. More than half of children are using phones or tablets by their first birthday. Why researchers are concerned about using screens to soothe, comfort and entertain babies. How screens can replace the face-to-face “serve and return” interactions that build language and thinking skills. Higher screen exposure in the early years is linked with poorer sleep, delayed language and cognitive development, weaker social skills and poorer later school performance. Why watching together is different from leaving a young child alone with a device. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “The first thousand days build the brain. Work hard to get that right.” RESOURCES MENTIONED eSafety Commissioner’s Growing Up Online report Jonathan Haidt’s After Babel Substack New systematic review of global research into screen use during the first 1,001 days of life ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Aim for as close to zero screen time as possible during the first two years. Don’t rely on a device as your child’s regular comforter or distraction. Prioritise talking, playing, moving and face-to-face interaction. When screen time does happen, watch and engage together rather than handing over the device. Look at what screen time is replacing, not only what your child is watching.

Social psychologist and “The Anxious Generation” author Jonathan Haidt helped turn concerns about kids and social media into a global political movement. Now, as Meta faces a consequential trial over youth safety and addiction, Haidt tells Dasha why he believes the courts may succeed where Congress has failed — and why the fight is only getting bigger. Haidt also sounds the alarm on AI, warning that the threats to children could go “far beyond” social media and arguing that policymakers can't afford to give AI companies the same free pass. And with restrictions on social media gaining bipartisan support, he weighs whether protecting kids from Big Tech could become a winning issue at the ballot box. Have thoughts for the show?

"Education shouldn't be about telling young people what to think. It should be telling them how they can think." — Sharon Booth How do you hold an honest conversation about one of the world's most divisive conflicts, in a school classroom, without it descending into a shouting match? This episode looks at peace education: the skills, the psychology and the facilitation that let people disagree deeply while still recognising each other's humanity. Our guest is Sharon Booth, founder and executive director of Solutions Not Sides (SNS), an educational charity that brings young Palestinian and Israeli peacebuilders into UK schools to share their stories and equip students to think for themselves. Sharon moderated the acclaimed "No Hope But Peace" dialogue at the Festival of Humanism in Bournemouth. In this conversation we cover: The SNS "PEACE" model and the three E's (exploration, empathy, empowerment), and why dialogue alone can do harm if it doesn't lead to change How social media and the "age of outrage" made people less willing to participate, and what Haidt's elephant and rider teaches us about why Creating "safe and brave" spaces, defusing in-group / out-group thinking, and the role Sharon believes humanists should play in peacebuilding Links: Solutions Not Sides: https://www.solutionsnotsides.co.uk No Hope But Peace (our earlier episode with Yaniv Aknin and Jasr Kawkby): https://humanismnow.buzzsprout.com Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind: https://righteousmind.com Chapters: 00:00 Introduction: Sharon Booth and Solutions Not Sides 02:02 Founding SNS and what peace education means 04:15 The three E's: exploration, empathy, empowerment 06:09 A more divided society: social media, COVID and outrage 08:53 The PEACE model, step by step 15:24 What young people teach us, and Haidt's elephant and rider 19:20 Creating safe and brave spaces 23:15 The Bournemouth dialogue and facilitating hard questions 28:31 Two stories from the classroom 34:53 Religion, nationalism and internal transformation 39:13 What role should humanists play in peacebuilding? 44:25 How to book or support SNS 45:29 Closing question: leaving evangelical Christianity Support Humanism Now & Join Our Community!

Cuando vi a Jonathan Haidt con Claudia Sheinbaum hablando de redes sociales y teléfonos, pensé que su presencia era pertinente.

Pastor Russell Johnson opened with Fletcher Reede in the 1997 film Liar Liar, a man who cannot make his hand write a lie about the pen he is holding. He said Romans 7 runs the same way in reverse: we want to do right and find ourselves doing the opposite. Turning to Romans 8:1-8, Pastor Russell traced a tightly argued chain. The word behind "no condemnation" points less to the verdict than to the sentence being carried out, and the old sentence is the one Ephesians 2:1-3 describes. We have been pardoned, yet we keep showing up at the old prison asking for our old cell. Verse 2 answers with a higher law, the law of the Spirit of life, and verse 3 with a Son sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, so that verse 4 can call us to walk rather than work. Using a doll held down by gravity and lifted by balloons, Pastor Russell pictured prayer, Scripture, worship, and community tied on one at a time. Romans 8:5-8 gives the mechanism: setting the mind. Borrowing an image from Jonathan Haidt, whom he was careful not to endorse, he described a rider on an elephant. We do not wrestle the elephant. We aim it, daily, until desire follows.

As students head back to school, families and educators are facing a growing question: What should they do about smartphones?Host Megan McArdle is joined by social psychologist and author of “The Anxious Generation,” Jonathan Haidt, to talk about how TikTok, social media and constant digital stimulation may be changing the way children pay attention, stay motivated and cope emotionally. They discuss how childhood shifted from play-based to phone-based, how strong the evidence really is that social media is harming kids and whether phone-free schools, age limits and new family norms can help turn things around.Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

What if anxiety isn't trying to defeat us?What if it's asking us a question?In this Sound Bite, inspired by my recent conversation with Lisa Woodruff, I explore the role anxiety plays in our everyday lives—especially when we're trying to lead our homes, our work, and ourselves.We often think of anxiety as something to eliminate. But perhaps anxiety is simply our mind trying to predict a future that hasn't happened yet.Through a personal story, reflections on trust, hope, and faith, and insights from Brené Brown, Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation, and Lisa's concept of being the CEO of our households, I consider a different way to respond when uncertainty shows up.Instead of asking,"What if everything goes wrong?"What if we asked,"What is the next indicated step?"In this episode we explore:✨ Why anxiety is different from everyday stress✨ How uncertainty fuels our "what if" thinking✨ Why trying to control everything only creates more overwhelm✨ What it really means to lead ourselves through uncertain times✨ How trust grows from remembering what we've already survived✨ Why hope, faith, and trust work together when life doesn't go according to planBecause being the CEO of your life doesn't mean predicting every storm.It means trusting yourself to lead through one.Resources Mentioned

In this episode of Blind Techie Geek Speaks, host Kathleen Masciana bridges ancient philosophy with contemporary parenting debates about technology. Kathleen guides listeners through a thoughtful exploration of whether true moral knowledge is possible without the metaphysical frameworks of Plato, Augustine, and Aquinas, and what this means for how we make decisions about technology in our families. Kathleen examines Rachelle Farquhar's "iPad-free" parenting experiment alongside perspectives from social psychologists Jonathan Haidt and Jean Twenge. She discusses Twenge's rule from "10 Rules for Raising Kids in a High-Tech World," which recommends waiting until a child has their driver's license before giving them a smartphone—typically at age sixteen. Kathleen offers a critical perspective on this rule, explaining why such a one-size-fits-all approach is unrealistic for persons with disabilities, particularly those who cannot drive. Drawing from her own experience as a blind online graduate student pursuing her master's degree in philosophy at Holy Apostles College and Seminary, Kathleen shares how she received her first smartphone at fourteen and waited until nineteen to join social media—using a flip phone before that to stay connected with family. She argues that Twenge's book would benefit from modified rules that account for different circumstances, as smartphones often serve as essential tools for independence and access rather than just entertainment. Throughout the episode, Kathleen offers insights on digital literacy, balanced technology use, and how devices can serve as vital instruments for education and connection. Her perspective invites listeners to move beyond rigid thinking and consider more nuanced, inclusive approaches to technology in our lives and the lives of children.

Vandaag het gesprek met Lara Sibbing. Lara werkt aan een schone economie en een duurzaam voedselsysteem. Ze heeft een PhD in voedselbeleid en was kandidaat voor GroenLinks-PvdA bij de Europese en de Tweede Kamerverkiezingen. "Hoe komt het toch dat goede verhalen vaak zo slecht verteld worden? En wat doe je daar aan?". Die vragen houden Lara al een tijdje bezig. Ze besloot een boek te schrijven en een club op te richten. Laten we beginnen… Samenvatting Met hulp van AI gemaakt. In aflevering 493 van de Decide for Impact Podcast spreek ik met Lara Sibbing, die werkt aan een schone economie en een duurzaam voedselsysteem. Lara promoveerde in Wageningen op voedselbeleid, werkte als beleidsmaker en adviseur voor gemeenten en provincies, en was kandidaat voor GroenLinks-PvdA bij Europese en Tweede Kamerverkiezingen. Ze bespreekt integraal voedselbeleid en de rol van gemeenten in een gezonde voedselomgeving, zoals reclamebeperking, voedseleducatie en voorbeeldgedrag. Het gesprek draait vooral om waarom goede, feitelijke verhalen vaak slecht verteld worden en hoe verandering vraagt om meer dan kennis. Mensen worden overtuigd via emotie en intuïtie. Sibbing schrijft hierover een boek, start in Brussel de “More to Better” club met het motto “feel moved, start moving”, en wil hoofd, hart en handen verbinden via kunst, events en community, geïnspireerd door o.a. Burning Man en morele waarden van Jonathan Haidt. Wat ik zoal leerde van Lara: 00:00 intro - het voedselsysteem als startpunt 02:50 De kennis in de praktijk brengen 05:10 Lara ging van dierwetenschappen, naar planten, naar mensen (besluiten). 06:05 Een integraal voedselbeleid maken. 07:45 Dit doet een gemeente aan voedselbeleid, zoals reclame in openbare ruimte beperken, voedselonderwijs stimuleren en stadslandbouw. 10:25 Vormgeven van de nieuwe economie. 11:50 Van wie is de openbare ruimte en wat doet reclame daar? 13:20 Een kwaliteitseconomie van beter leven. 14:25 De verborgen kosten van openbare reclame worden niet berekend. 15:25 Een economie van groei naar bloei en van meer naar beter transformeren. 17:44 We zijn onszelf te veel als hoofden op pootjes gaan zien. 19:20 Je kunt pas echt de wereld verbeteren als je eerst het hart raakt, via intuïtie en emotie. 21:20 Onze opdracht is, meer aandacht te geven aan de emoties en intuïtie, zonder de feiten in de prullenbak te gooien. 25:15 De emoties van Temptation Island combineren met de kennis van economie. 30:15 Dat de goede verhalen niet goed verteld worden en de slechte verhalen wel, is een grote opgave. 32:30 Raken in het hart en laten zien van jezelf. 34:35 De club in Brussel die het hoofd, het hart en de handen wil raken. 37:20 Feel moved, start moving 42:05 Dingen die je raken, die je in je lijf voelt en die je bijblijven. 43:40 Zo komt jouw verhaal, als wereldverbeteraar, verder. 47:10 Het verhaal van de liefde waarvoor ze naar Brussel verhuisde. 49:50 Natuurlijk hedonisme 55:30 Mooi voorbeeld van hoofd, hart en handen combineren in de praktijk. https://www.linkedin.com/in/larasibbing/ Lara Vita Sibbing Meer over Lara Sibbing: Andere bronnen: Temptation Island - Wikipedia The more to better club in Brussels Kate Raworth - Wikipedia Jacinda Ardern - Wikipedia Inner Development Goals IDG HUB Achterhoek Jonathan Haidt - Wikipedia Moral foundations theory - Wikipedia (zes morele smaken) Jens van der Weele - transitietaal Burning Man Netherlands Louis de Jaeger Hedonisme - Wikipedia Video van het gesprek met Lara Sibbing https://youtu.be/CN-99GV2t2k Kijk hier https://youtu.be/CN-99GV2t2k Transcript van het gesprek [00:00:00] Erno Hannink: Hallo en welkom bij aflevering 493 van de Decide for Impact Podcast.

Om een soort gemeenschap op te zetten rondom sufficiency, rondom het genoeg. En met name dan bij professionals. Dus mensen die werkelijk aan de slag gaan in bedrijven of voor zichzelf met het onderwerp. [00:01:42] Erno Hannink: En in die tijd was jij ook bezig met campagne voeren omdat je verkiesbaar stond op de lijst voor de Tweede Kamer. [00:01:58] Erno Hannink: Waarom? Waarom wil je de Tweede Kamer in? [00:02:03] Lara Sibbing: Die stap is eigenlijk voortgekomen uit heel veel stappen die ik daarvoor heb genomen. En elke keer kwam ik weer één stap verder. En ja, die laatste stap was eigenlijk naar de politiek. Maar ik ben begonnen met mijn met mijn werk in de wetenschap. [00:02:20] Lara Sibbing: Ik ging onderzoek doen. Ik ben gepromoveerd aan de Universiteit van Wageningen in voedselbeleid. En nou ja, dus ik ik was onderzoeker en ik werkte ook daarna als, als beleidsmaker bij een gemeente, gemeente Ede. En toen ik begon ik studeerde. Ik vond studeren heel leuk en ik dacht van nou weet je, hoe kunnen we de wereld verbeteren? [00:02:43] Lara Sibbing: We moeten uitzoeken hoe dat moet. We moeten onderzoek doen, we moeten kennis op. En toen raakte ik steeds meer kwam ik eigenlijk daar achter van oké, we moeten niet alleen die kennis vinden, maar die moet je ook in de praktijk brengen. Het gaat om de besluiten die mensen nemen. Dus dat is beleid. Dus toen ben ik steeds meer opgeschoven naar het beleid. [00:03:02] Lara Sibbing: Maar toen kwam ik er dus bij dat voedselsysteem ook steeds achter van ja maar zelfs het beleid, ja, dat is dat is ook niet genoeg. Inmiddels was ik zelf beleidsmaker en ik gaf ook advies als consultant aan gemeentes en provincies. En dat ging dus nog steeds niet snel genoeg. Er gebeurde nog steeds niet genoeg wat mij betreft om dat voedselsysteem beter te maken. [00:03:24] Lara Sibbing: En dat is eigenlijk toen ik de stap naar de politiek heb gemaakt was het kabinet was gevallen en toen heb ik aangeklopt bij GroenLinks-PvdA. En toen ben ik daar eigenlijk mee gaan schrijven aan een, een, een, een stuk voor het verkiezingsprogramma over voedselbeleid. En nou ja, toen mocht ik eigenlijk al best wel snel veel verschillende dingen doen. [00:03:46] Lara Sibbing: En heb ik ja, ben ik verkiesbaar geworden voor de Europese verkiezingen en later ook voor de Tweede Kamerverkiezingen. Maar het kwam dus eigenlijk steeds neer op een zoektocht van oké. Voor mij was dat voedselsysteem was het startpunt. Hoe kan dat beter? Duurzamer, gezonder, diervriendelijker. En dan steeds een stapje verder van oké, waar kan je de meeste impact maken? [00:04:10] Lara Sibbing: En zo kwam ik uiteindelijk op dat moment dat wij elkaar ontmoetten uit bij de politiek. [00:04:17] Erno Hannink: Voedselbeleid Wageningen. In mijn beleving heb ik toch ergens altijd iets met Wageningen dat het niet automatisch is, iets met zoveel nog plantaardig. Er zit toch altijd een soort dier element in. Heb jij dat ook ervaren? [00:04:33] Lara Sibbing: Nou, het is leuk dat je dat vraagt, want ik ben. In mijn bacheloropleiding ben ik juist zelfs begonnen met dierwetenschappen. Dus Dierhouderij omdat ik dieren eigenlijk heel interessant vond. En daarna ben ik overgestapt op planten en eigenlijk als laatste op mensen. Want de menselijke beslissingen, dus het beleid, want ik dus zo ben ik dus van die dieren, planten, mensen gegaan van oké, daar zit de meeste impact. [00:04:58] Lara Sibbing: Maar wat Wageningen kenmerkt is eigenlijk dat het heel divers is. Dus er zijn mensen die zijn echt bezig met biotechnologie. Er zijn mensen bezig met gezondheidswetenschappen, met plantenveredeling, maar dus ook met biologische landbouw en beleid en bedrijfskunde. Dus ja, het beeld wat je misschien meer het meeste hoort en ziet van Wageningen is, is dat. [00:05:22] Lara Sibbing: Maar het diverse dat is, dat is echt wat Wageningen kenmerkt. [00:05:27] Erno Hannink: Kun je iets omschrijven van het beleid wat jij hebt opgeschreven of wat jij waar jij voor staat rondom voedselvoorziening? [00:05:36] Lara Sibbing: Ja, nou ja, toen ik daarmee begon, dat is inmiddels twaalf jaar geleden of zo. Toen was nog heel erg het narratief: we moeten dat minder verkokerd doen. [00:05:46] Lara Sibbing: Dus economiebeleid, gezondheidsbeleid, landbouwbeleid. We moeten dat veel meer integraal doen. Holistisch dus dat je kijkt oké, dat dat voedselsysteem, daarvoor wil je dat dat bijdraagt aan gezondheid, aan onze economie, aan de lokale economie en ook aan voedselproductie. En dat is dus vooral wat, wat toen het vernieuwende was dat je dus integraal voedselbeleid ging ging maken. [00:06:14] Lara Sibbing: En dat is dus bijvoorbeeld dat je en voedselverspilling tegengaat en voedseleducatie voor kinderen en duurzame landbouw voor boeren. Dat je dat goed beloont. Eerlijke prijzen. Dus eigenlijk dat dat totaalpakket zonder dat je aan de ene kant het één doet en de andere kant het ander....

Ep 288 Peacewarts: Resonant Charms - Common Ground Literacy (Class 6) In class 6, we define Common Ground Literacy as the skill of identifying shared values hidden beneath conflicting slogans. We introduce the "Two-Question Drill" to translate tribal language into human needs. Using the 2003 Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace, we discuss how shared values can override deep divides. We also cover the "False Common Ground Trap" and how to identify real shared interests. Homework: Look up the 2003 Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace and find one specific tactic they used to keep both Christian and Muslim women focused on their shared goal. Write down one question about any of this episode's topics. If you don't have a question, write 'no question.' Optional: Journal about a current debate. Apply the two-question drill to both sides and find the shared value in the middle. Books: If you'd like to read more on this subject, some book suggestions are The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion by Jonathan Haidt, which explores the moral matrices that drive opposing ideological slogans and offers a literacy framework to find the core human values underneath, and Colossus: How the Corporation Changed America by Jack Beatty, which offers historical context on major institutional shifts, providing an essential grounding for looking beneath surface-level economic and social battle lines. Learning Topics: Common Ground Literacy; The Two-Question Drill; The Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace; Translating slogans into needs; The False Common Ground Trap; Shared values vs. tribal language.

In this episode of Ways to Change the World, Krishnan Guru-Murthy speaks to the social psychologist whose work helped ignite a global rethink of childhood in the smartphone age. Jonathan Haidt, author of The Anxious Generation, argues that social media has fundamentally reshaped the lives of young people – driving rising rates of anxiety and depression, fragmenting attention spans and replacing real-world play with screen time. As Britain follows Australia in introducing restrictions on social media use for children, Haidt explains why he believes an entire generation has been caught up in a “great rewiring of childhood”, why girls and boys have been affected differently, and what parents can do to push back. They also discuss whether social media is fuelling political polarisation, why governments are finally taking action, and whether it's possible to reclaim our attention from the platforms competing for it. This conversation includes references to suicide, self harm, sexual activities and offensive language. 

In this episode of Blind Techie Geek Speaks, host Kathleen Masciana explores the clash between Kant's moral philosophy and Aristotle's Virtue Ethics. She examines whether building character is the key to addressing the impact of technology on attention spans. The episode features social psychologist Jonathan Haidt's research on how digital devices affect young people. It discusses his four recommended reforms: delaying smartphone adoption until high school, restricting social media access until age sixteen, implementing phone-free school environments, and increasing opportunities for independent play and real-world responsibility for youth.

UnHerd's Freddie Sayers talks with social psychologist and author Jonathan Haidt about the global momentum toward banning under-16s from social media, exploring the tension between protecting children from addictive platforms and safeguarding free speech from state censorship, while outlining how device-based age checks offer a viable solution where traditional parental controls fail.

Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist and long time New York Times bestselling author. He's a professor at NYU's Stern School of Business, and holds a PhD in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. In 2024 Haidt published The Anxious Generation, a book looking at the great rewiring of childhood. He has launched a public health campaign under the same name, dedicated to addressing and ultimately ending the youth mental health crisis.In addition to this work, his research more broadly explores the foundations of morality, aiming to help people understand each other, live and work near each other, and even learn from each other despite moral differences.Follow To Dine For:Official Website: ToDineForTV.comFacebook: Facebook.com/ToDineForTVInstagram: @ToDineForTVTwitter: @KateSullivanTVEmail: ToDineForTV@gmail.com Thank You to our Sponsors!American National InsuranceNotre Dame Family WinesNouvieFollow Our Guest:Official Site: AnxiousGeneration.comInstagram: @JonathanHaidtTwitter: @JonHaidtLinkedIn: Jonathan HaidtFollow The Restaurant:Official Website: Family Meal at Blue Hill - New York CityInstagram: @FamilyMealAtBlueHill Hosted on Acast.

**Únete a nuestra comunidad “El Mapa de la Ansiedad” en Skool** Accede a cursos, recursos y una comunidad donde compartir con otras personas que también quieren entender y gestionar mejor la ansiedad: https://www.skool.com/elmapadelaansiedad ️ Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de **La Teoría de la Mente**, el podcast donde exploramos la mente humana, la ansiedad, las emociones y esos mecanismos internos que tantas veces sentimos que nos gobiernan desde dentro. En este primer capítulo de la serie **“Mente de Mono, Cerebro de Vaca”**, nos adentramos en una metáfora poderosa y ancestral: **El Elefante Blanco**. A través de la historia de Nayan, un mahout experto en guiar elefantes, y Bodhi, un majestuoso elefante blanco, descubriremos cómo funciona nuestra mente cuando entran en conflicto la parte racional, consciente y deliberada, y esa otra parte automática, emocional e impulsiva que muchas veces parece arrastrarnos sin pedir permiso. Inspirándonos en la conocida metáfora del psicólogo **Jonathan Haidt**, hablaremos del jinete y el elefante como representación de dos fuerzas internas: la mente que intenta dirigir y la mente que siente, reacciona, desea, evita o se bloquea. Porque muchas veces creemos que basta con pensar correctamente, proponernos cambiar o repetirnos “no debería sentir esto”, pero nuestro elefante emocional no siempre responde a las órdenes de la razón. También aparecerá el **mono inquieto**, esa mente que salta de pensamiento en pensamiento, que se distrae, anticipa, se agobia y nos aleja del presente. Y, por supuesto, la **vaca que rumia**, símbolo de la rumiación mental: ese hábito de darle vueltas una y otra vez a los problemas, buscando una solución que nunca llega y alimentando la ansiedad, el estrés y el agotamiento emocional. Este episodio es una invitación a mirar tu mente con más comprensión y menos lucha. No se trata de dominarte a la fuerza, ni de eliminar tus pensamientos, ni de controlar cada emoción. Se trata de aprender a relacionarte de otra manera con tu elefante, tu mono y tu vaca interior. De convertirte, poco a poco, en el verdadero mahout de tu mundo interno. Si alguna vez has sentido que procrastinas aunque sabes lo que tienes que hacer, que tu ansiedad se dispara sin motivo aparente, que tus pensamientos no paran o que tu mente te lleva a lugares donde no quieres estar, este episodio puede ayudarte a entender qué está ocurriendo y por qué no eres “débil” ni “defectuoso”: simplemente tienes una mente humana. ✨ En este episodio descubrirás: La metáfora del elefante y el jinete y cómo explica nuestras decisiones emocionales. Qué es la mente de mono y por qué vivimos tan distraídos. Cómo la rumiación mental nos atrapa en ciclos de preocupación. La diferencia entre mente consciente y mente automática. Cómo empezar a gestionar ansiedad, estrés y pensamientos repetitivos desde la comprensión. **Nuestra escuela de ansiedad:** [www.escuelaansiedad.com](http://www.escuelaansiedad.com) ️ **Nuestro nuevo libro:** [www.elmapadelaansiedad.com](http://www.elmapadelaansiedad.com) **Visita nuestra página web:** http://www.amadag.com **Facebook:** https://www.facebook.com/Asociacion.Agorafobia/ **Instagram:** https://www.instagram.com/amadag.psico/ ▶️ **Youtube Amadag TV:** https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC22fPGPhEhgiXCM7PGl68rw Gracias por acompañarnos en este viaje hacia una mente más consciente, más amable y más libre.

In months with five weeks, The Virtual Curbside takes a break from clinical topics for a pediatric book club discussion. This month, host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP, is joined by regular book club guest Angelo Giardino, MD, FAAP, and a special guest, fifth-grader Harry Thatcher, to discuss The Anxious Generation: A Graphic Novel by Jonathan Haidt.Together, they explore the book's central themes through the lens of two very different childhoods, comparing the play-based experiences of previous generations with today's phone-based childhoods. Harry offers a unique perspective as a member of the generation at the center of the discussion, while Drs. Wirkus and Giardino reflect on how growing up in a different era shaped their own experiences. The conversation examines the impact of technology, social connection, and unstructured play on child development, mental health, and what these changes mean for pediatricians and the families they serve.No credit available for this episode.

Episode 453: Interview with Stephen Oliver Podcast Description This episode is a wide-ranging, real-talk interview with Grandmaster Stephen Oliver — one of the most experienced voices in the martial arts business world. Duane and Allie dig into what's actually happening in the industry right now: the post-COVID landscape, the explosion of BJJ and adult programs, why marketing feels both easier and harder at the same time, and how AI can help you move faster—without turning your school into a generic, copy/paste version of everyone else. If you've been feeling like you're working harder than ever, trying to please more people, and still not getting the commitment you want—this conversation will hit. Key Takeaways The opportunity in martial arts is bigger than most people think. Stephen's take is optimistic: the market is fertile, the kids market is strong, and the adult market has expanded in a way we haven't seen before. He points to a major shift: MMA, Muay Thai, and especially Brazilian Jiu Jitsu have opened up an adult segment that simply didn't exist at this scale in previous decades. Marketing is “democratized” now—but it comes with more moving parts. Back in the day, big operators could dominate with expensive newspaper and TV buys. Now, even small schools can run Google ads and Facebook lead campaigns. That's the good news. The tradeoff is that marketing has become more complex: more platforms, more content, more options, more noise. And because AI tools make it easy to create “professional-looking” ads, it's also easier than ever to blend in. In an AI world, authenticity becomes the competitive advantage. Stephen drops a line that's worth writing on a sticky note: “Escape competition to authenticity — no one can compete with you being you.” His point: yes, AI can help you write faster, design faster, and post faster. But if your marketing starts sounding like everyone else's marketing, you lose the thing that actually makes people choose you. AI can save time—but it can't replace relationships. Stephen's rule of thumb from years ago was simple: once the after-school rush starts, you don't touch the computer. The school is a relationship business. AI can help with: Writing and scheduling content SEO and website updates Ad management support Drafting documents, policies, and templates But it won't replace the real work that keeps students long-term: Human-to-human connection Trust Personal attention Feeling seen He also warns about automation fatigue: when parents know something is automated, it stops feeling like you actually noticed. The biggest mistake broke school owners make: they fixate on online marketing and ignore everything else. Stephen says many owners stall out because they rely on one channel. If Facebook ads don't work, they feel stuck. Meanwhile, they ignore: Referrals Community outreach Partnerships Grassroots marketing Direct mail (which stands out more now because fewer people do it) Duane ties it to a classic principle: if everyone is doing one thing, doing the opposite can be the edge. Pricing fear keeps people broke—and most customers aren't price shopping the way you think. Stephen's view: school owners often price themselves based on what other schools charge. But most prospects aren't visiting five schools hunting for the cheapest. They're looking for the best fit: the people they like the quality they feel the environment they trust Then they decide if they can afford it. Retention is still about systems, stages, and not letting people fall through the cracksAllie brings up a feeling a lot of owners have right now: “I'm working harder than ever, but it doesn't seem to change commitment.” Stephen acknowledges the cultural trends, but he also points to something more controllable: schools that retain well have systems for relationship, follow-up, and long-term goal setting. He highlights that most dropouts happen early: the first 2 months the first 4 months the first year If you win the first quarter, you give yourself a real shot at year two and year three. If you want people to actually engage, it's still “hand on shoulder” communication. This part of the episode is a gut-check. Stephen says you can send: direct mail emails texts signs banners announcements And people will still miss it. The breakthrough is the old-school method: appropriate physical touch eye contact using their name confirming details face-to-face He even shares a simple teaching principle: name times three and touch times three — use the student's name multiple times and make appropriate contact (like adjusting a punch) to build rapport and connection. Action Steps for School Owners Audit your marketing mix (are you over-relying on one channel?)Write down every way you generate leads right now. If the list is basically “Facebook + Google,” you're vulnerable. Pick one offline method to add this month: referral push community event partnership direct mail school talk Make your marketing sound like a human again. If your ads and posts feel generic, they'll get ignored. Use AI to speed up drafts, but then add the parts AI can't fake: your opinions your stories your standards your voice your local details Stop pricing based on competitors—price based on value and fit. Instead of asking, “What does the school across town charge?” ask: What transformation do we deliver? What experience do families feel here? What standards do we hold? Then price accordingly and communicate it clearly. Win the first 90 days. If most dropouts happen early, your first-quarter systems matter more than your year-five curriculum. Pick one retention system to tighten: new student onboarding check-ins goal setting conversations attendance follow-up that feels personal (not automated) instructor “name + eye contact” standards in every class Use “hand on shoulder” communication for anything important. For events, testing, schedule changes, and anything that truly matters: Don't rely on a text blast. Have staff confirm face-to-face: “Mrs. Jones, quick reminder — Billy's division starts at 10:00 on Saturday at King's Elementary. You'll see the signs. Can you make it?” It's laborious. And it works. Additional Resources Mentioned https://MartialArtsWealth.com/webinar (Stephen's AI webinar link mentioned in the interview) Jonathan Haidt's books (referenced around parenting, anxiety, and cultural trends) The idea of the “Parthenon” (Jay Abraham concept): having many lead-generation activities running at once

It's summertime and here on Youth Culture Matters were devoting our time to shorter episodes where we're talking about purposeful parenting, addressing timely topics to encourage and equip you as parents to help your kids navigate their world in ways that bring honor and glory to God. Take a few minutes to listen in today as I talk about rewiring the rewiring.

Patrick opens with a story about art critics mistaking Monet for AI slop, sparking questions about authenticity in a tech-soaked world. He follows twisted threads connecting digital surveillance in China to new digital IDs in the UK, then tosses in stories of hysterical climate predictions, AI anxieties, and the social decay linked to endless scrolling. Children and families become the focus as Patrick unpacks warnings from experts, connecting smartphones, plummeting fertility, and a relentless tide of content that threatens innocence.

În 2006, Jonathan Haidt publica „Mintea moralistă”, o carte care pornea de la o observație simplă și, în același timp, neobișnuită" Oameni inteligenți și bine intenționați ajung frecvent la concluzii foarte diferite. În laboratorul politic american, republicanii și democrații se priveau tot mai greu unii pe alții. Haidt a încercat să înțeleagă de ce. A descoperit că diferențele nu pornesc întotdeauna de la lipsa informațiilor, ci din felul în care fiecare dintre noi își ordonează valorile și experiențele. Cartea apare de mai multe ori în această conversație și devine un fir care leagă multe dintre ideile discutate. Mintea umană este mai complexă decât ne place să credem, iar diferențele dintre noi spun adesea mai multe despre felul în care interpretăm lumea decât despre lumea însăși. Despre asta este această conversație cu Radu Atanasiu, profesor, cercetător și unul dintre oamenii care au contribuit cel mai mult la popularizarea gândirii critice în România.Pentru mai multe resurse despre episodul de astăzi, notițe, ideile sumarizate - click aici pentru pagina episodului***Găsești notițe, ideile principale, insight-uri și cărțile menționate în toate episoadele pe florinrosoga.ro.

On a new edition of Weekend Conversations on the Elevate Podcast, host Robert Glazer and producer Mick Sloan discuss the recent protest of Jonathan Haidt's commencement address at New York University. Robert and Mick discuss the students' objections, how they missed the actual purpose of Haidt's speech, and why it is flawed to evaluate a message based on our opinion of the messenger, rather than the merits of what they are saying.

George joins Faithful Politics to talk about what he calls “the age of feeling,” a moment where many people treat personal emotion as the final word on what is true. George argues that this does not lead to tolerance. It often makes disagreement feel like a personal attack, which shuts down honest conversation and creates real problems for democracy. The conversation moves through faith, reason, truth, tribalism, intellectual humility, and the challenge of disagreeing with your own side. Will brings in Jonathan Haidt's work on intuition and political identity, while Josh and George work through harder questions around same-sex marriage, gender, Obergefell, Loving v. Virginia, and the deeper moral assumptions underneath those debates.At its core, this episode is about whether Americans can still disagree seriously without turning each other into enemies. George's answer is that truth-seeking requires more than strong opinions. It requires reasons, evidence, humility, and the courage to listen when your tribe says one thing and your conscience says another.website: robertpgeorge.comGuest BioRobert P. George is the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University and Director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions. He is a legal scholar, political philosopher, and public intellectual whose work focuses on natural law, constitutionalism, religious liberty, conscience, civil discourse, and moral reasoning in public life.

Every child wants friendship, freedom, and fun. The question is where they'll find it. Catherine Price returns to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast to talk about her new book The Amazing Generation, written with Jonathan Haidt, and why more young people are starting to question the role screens play in their lives. In this conversation, Catherine explains how tech companies compete for our attention, why so many older teens say they wish they had spent less time online, and what happens when children are given the tools to think for themselves. They discuss real friendship versus digital connection, the growing rebellion against constant screen use, the importance of boredom, hobbies, and outdoor play, and one powerful question every family should ask: If you had three extra hours every day, what would you do with them? This episode will leave you thinking differently about technology, childhood, and the person you're becoming.

G.K. Chesterton once observed that after learning to do a great many clever things, the next great task would be learning not to do them. That line, from an early essay on Queen Victoria, has taken on new force as American schools reverse decades of tech-first policies—test scores and students' mental health alike in decline. In this episode, Joe and Grettelyn trace the screen crisis back to first principles, exploring how Chesterton's warnings against educational fads, his conviction that machines make us like machines, and his insistence that a thing worth doing is worth doing badly all speak directly to what Jonathan Haidt's data is now confirming.  In This Episode: The G.K. Chesterton quote from Varied Types that frames the whole conversation—and why his intuition about educational tinkering was more than a hunch How the Chesterton Schools Network's longstanding tech-light philosophy has been vindicated by over 15 years of data, a UNESCO report, and the Fortune magazine story that started this episode What Chesterton's insight about machines making us like machines explains about the neuroscience of distraction—and why phone-free classrooms alone aren't enough Why G.K.

Humans aren't just social — we're ultrasocial, wired like bees and ants for deep connection. So what happens when smartphones take over childhood, tablets replace textbooks and AI companies infiltrate our kids' lives? Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out three principles of technoskepticism — and explains why, two years after sounding the alarm in “The Anxious Generation,” he's more concerned (and hopeful) than ever before.

Let's cut the crap: this isn't just about screen time. It's about attention—yours, your kids', and who (or what) is stealing it. In this brutally honest (and slightly uncomfortable) conversation, Nicole sits down with Catherine Price—award-winning journalist, author of How to Break Up with Your Phone, and co-author of The Amazing Generation—to unpack what screens are actually doing to our brains, our kids, and our relationships. We're talking about: Why “screen time” is the wrong conversation—and what you should be focusing on instead How constant scrolling is literally rewiring attention spans (for you and your kids) The real cost of distraction: missed memories, weaker relationships, and a life half-lived Why your kids don't need another app—they need your actual presence The difference between useful tech and attention-sucking garbage How to delay smartphones and social media without turning your house into a war zone What kids really notice about your phone habits (hint: everything) Practical ways to reset boundaries—even if you feel like you've already screwed it up This episode isn't about perfection. It's about awareness, intention, and making better choices—starting now. Because every time you pick up your phone, you're choosing what (and who) gets your attention. Thank you to our sponsors!

Patrick opens with a story about art critics mistaking Monet for AI slop, sparking questions about authenticity in a tech-soaked world. He follows twisted threads connecting digital surveillance in China to new digital IDs in the UK, then tosses in stories of hysterical climate predictions, AI anxieties, and the social decay linked to endless scrolling. Children and families become the focus as Patrick unpacks warnings from experts, connecting smartphones, plummeting fertility, and a relentless tide of content that threatens innocence.
