*As featured in the streaming documentary #UNTRUTH—now with a new foreword by George Conway and an afterword by the author*A masterful and eye-opening examination of Trump and the coercive control tactics he uses to build a fanatical devotion in his supporters written by “an authority on breaking away from cults…an argument that…bears consideration as the next election cycle heats up” (Kirkus Reviews). Since the 2016 election, Donald Trump's behavior has become both more disturbing and yet increasingly familiar. He relies on phrases like, “fake news,” “build the wall,” and continues to spread the divisive mentality of us-vs.-them. He lies constantly, has no conscience, never admits when he is wrong, and projects all of his shortcomings on to others. He has become more authoritarian, more outrageous, and yet many of his followers remain blindly devoted. Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert and a major Trump supporter, calls him one of the most persuasive people living. His need to squash alternate information and his insistence of constant ego stroking are all characteristics of other famous leaders—cult leaders.In The Cult of Trump, mind control and licensed mental health expert Steven Hassan draws parallels between our current president and people like Jim Jones, David Koresh, Ron Hubbard, and Sun Myung Moon, arguing that this presidency is in many ways like a destructive cult. He specifically details the ways in which people are influenced through an array of social psychology methods and how they become fiercely loyal and obedient. Hassan was a former “Moonie” himself, and he presents a “thoughtful and well-researched analysis of some of the most puzzling aspects of the current presidency, including the remarkable passivity of fellow Republicans [and] the gross pandering of many members of the press” (Thomas G. Gutheil, MD and professor of psychiatry, Harvard Medical School). The Cult of Trump is an accessible and in-depth analysis of the president, showing that under the right circumstances, even sane, rational, well-adjusted people can be persuaded to believe the most outrageous ideas. “This book is a must for anyone who wants to understand the current political climate” (Judith Stevens-Long, PhD and author of Living Well, Dying Well).https://amzn.to/4kQXbhkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

A few people stumble upon powerful life skills, and many do not.What happens?Adults stop growing in their personal and professional lives. Depression, Chronic Stress, and Anxiety. A life of discontent and a search for meaning, struggling with self-doubt and a lack of capability.Their call is to end the cycle and teach kids life-enhancing skills they will use for a lifetime.Here's What they Do, they Give Scholarships, they empower tweens and families with Life Intelligence Skills for lifelong success and happiness regardless of financial resources. https://ibelieveinmefoundation.com/ https://believebecomebeyou.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

What if retirement planning didn't have to feel like gambling with your future? What if you could build a strategy that actually works for business owners who understand cash flow better than anyone? In this powerful live episode, Brandon and Amanda team up with Mark Willis, CFP®, Evan Greathouse, and Kristi Duncan to challenge everything you think you know about "safe" retirement planning. We're not talking about another cookie-cutter approach designed for employees with steady paychecks. This is about building what we call "the all-weather portfolio" – a three-part system that protects you from market crashes, inflation, and the seven overlooked assumptions that derail most retirement plans. Whether you're 35 or 55, if you've ever wondered whether your current retirement strategy actually matches how you live and run your business, this episode will give you clarity. We break down the math, share real examples, and show you why adding more "ART" to your portfolio might be the missing piece you've been looking for. Key Quote: "Most people have too little in the certainty portion of their portfolio. They're planning with probability when they should be planning with certainty."

Hopefully you will find this episode with Marilyn Gardner soul-nourishing!Host Doreen Cumberford welcomes Marilyn Gardner for a deep dive into the rhythms, challenges, and beauty of leading a global, nomadic life. Marilyn shares her experiences of moving through 36 homes across continents, the lessons found in both anticipation and nostalgia, and the journey of finding "places that light you up", even when you never fully feel that you belong.Together, Doreen and Marilyn explore what it means to create a sense of home, the balance of looking forward and living in the present, the raw realities of repatriation, and how physical space, community, and personal rituals play into our sense of belonging. Marilyn provides practical wisdom for listeners who might be struggling to feel “lit up” in their current location, offering advice from her personal toolkit.Key Discussion HighlightsThe Constant Rhythm of Global Mobility: Marilyn and Doreen reflect on the repetitive cycles of moving, leaving, and adapting to new cultures—but also the subtle grief that comes with each departure.Anticipation vs. Presence: The duo discusses the necessity of anticipation in uprooting one's life, but also the need to avoid “wishing your life away,” learning instead to fully enter the present.Repatriation & Loss of Structure: How the predictable cycles of expat life can dissolve when moving “home,” leaving many feeling adrift and forcing a re-creation of rhythm.Finding Places that Light You Up: Marilyn shares the story behind her most recent move—to a beloved coastal town in Massachusetts—and the deep peace it brings her after decades of movement.Homesickness and Identity: The conversation gets real about the physical and emotional signs of when a place doesn't align: homesickness, depression, and even weight changes.Living Well Where You Don't Belong: Marilyn provides practical tools for crafting a sense of home: cultivating tolerance for ambiguity, creating special spaces, honoring your story with meaningful objects, and finding “your people.”Privilege and Perspective: Gratitude for the privilege of choice and opportunity travel is balanced with an awareness of the millions who are displaced and longing for home.Courage in Uprooting: Marilyn honors the tremendous courage it takes to begin again—reminding us, through the metaphor of transplanting a fig tree, that it can take years to bear fruit after a big move.Practical TakeawaysPhysical Signs to Watch For: If you feel weighed down, restless, or constantly homesick, pay attention—your body and mind may be telling you you're out of sync with your environment.Create Micro-Homes: Surround yourself with objects that reflect your story and bring comfort, no matter where you are.Find Your People: Seek out communities or individuals who share your background or who “understand the in-between.”Cultivate Gratitude: List three things daily you're grateful for, and recognize what's beyond your control.Allow Yourself Time: It may take years to feel at home in a new place—just like a transplanted tree, growth takes patience.Follow Marilyn at: https://www.instagram.com/marilyngard5/ or https://communicatingacrossboundariesblog.com/Resources MentionedThe Art of Travel by Alain de BottonThe Island of Missing Trees - Elif Shafak Support the showHome is Where Your Story Crosses Borders!We aim to inspire expat solutions, by helping you navigate global living with Confidence.

In her talk, “Remembering America: The High Stakes of Memory and Moral Imagination in Civic Life,” Angel Adams Parham explores how narratives of the American past, especially those concerning slavery and racial segregation, influence civic unity. She proposes the "integrated blues mode" as a new way to approach American history, which acknowledges the difficult aspects of the past while working towards reconciliation. Parham contrasts this with the "nefarious origins" and "triumph of ideals" perspectives. She illustrates these ideas through local examples from St. Francisville, St. Augustine, and New Orleans, highlighting the importance of engaging with complex histories at a community level. Ultimately, Parham advocates for a nuanced historical understanding that embraces both the challenges and positive aspects of the past to foster civic friendship and a more inclusive American identity.The Morningside Institute hosted a two-day conference on April 4–5, 2025. On its first day, the conference examined some of the radical changes that Western societies are undergoing. On the second day, we explored in greater detail historical examples of how communities have navigated periods of intense cultural change and even devastation.

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 7/6/25 by Pastor Steve Shields. Listen as Pastor Steve goes through Luke 19:11-27 and the parable of the ten minas. Waiting is more of an art than a science. Science has predictable events and repeatable outcomes. Art is more open-ended. Perhaps more from the heart. We play a role. We manage our mina. How do we play our role without a script? By knowing the Director. By knowing the big picture and the flow of the story. By knowing yourself. By being aware of need. By listening to the Holy Spirit.

This podcast brought together two remarkable friends—Peter Berry and Deb Bunt—for a conversation that was as inspiring as it was deeply honest. Hosted by Marianne Sciucco and Christy Byrne Yates, the discussion explored not only the personal journeys and books of Peter and Deb, but also the profound insights they've gained into living well with dementia. Peter's journey began with a diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's at the age of 50. As a successful business owner, he was shocked—and initially devastated—by the news. He shares openly about the dark period following his diagnosis, describing it as “a year of hell,” marked by depression and even suicide attempts. What's remarkable, though, is how Peter transformed that despair into a renewed sense of purpose. Inspired by both his own experience and his father's long journey with Alzheimer's, Peter resolved to become a source of hope and understanding for others facing similar challenges. Enter Deb Bunt, Peter's cycling buddy-turned-co-author and close friend. Their relationship is a beautiful demonstration of how support doesn't just flow one way. As Deb and Peter describe it, they each bring unique strengths to the friendship: Deb provides companionship and boundless camaraderie, while Peter offers technical know-how and navigational skills. Together, they reinforce the idea that living well with dementia is as much about mutual support and meaning as it is about medical care. This mutuality spills into their advocacy efforts—travelling throughout the UK, speaking at events, and writing books together. Their creative journey produced two books so far: Slow Puncture, a memoir of Peter's life post-diagnosis, and Walk With Me: Musings Through the Dementia Fog, a collection of Peter's raw and poetic reflections. Deb explained how Peter's poetic descriptions became the muse for her own long-harbored ambitions to write, and how collecting Peter's texts and turning them into a book gave both of them a sense of validation and purpose. These works don't just recount Peter's experiences; they offer a window into his emotional landscape—with metaphors that make the inexplicable aspects of dementia relatable. For Peter, cycling is like “a balloon that takes me high into the sky”—a momentary escape from the limitations of his diagnosis.

Living Well, Finishing Strong - Pastor Kip Jacoob

In this episode of the Art of Living Well podcast, Liv Hill discusses the common frustrations with the scale and how it often misrepresents progress in health and fitness journeys. She emphasizes the importance of understanding body composition, the role of muscle versus fat, and alternative indicators of progress such as clothing fit, strength, and energy levels. Liv encourages listeners to adopt a healthier mindset towards the scale and focus on long-term health goals rather than short-term fluctuations.

This past Sunday, Pastor Bob wrapped up our “Art of Living Well” series with a powerful message from Song of Solomon chapters 7 and 8. It was a thoughtful look at love, intimacy, and our relationship with God. Pastor Bob shared how his own deep dive into this poetic book has shaped his walk with the Lord. He encouraged us to do the same, pick a book of the Bible, grab a good commentary, and let God speak through it. He also explored the beautiful connection between our spiritual and physical selves, reminding us that true intimacy, whether with God or each other, goes far beyond surface desires. And finally, we were invited to slow down and take in the beauty of God's creation as a reflection of His goodness and creativity.

In this episode, they explore the emotional and physiological processes of dying, the cultural barriers that prevent meaningful conversations about death, and how early engagement with mortality can lead to greater clarity and connection. The conversation highlights the distinctions between hospice and palliative care, the nature of suffering beyond physical pain, and the transformative role of honesty, forgiveness, and relational awareness in the dying process. Through stories and reflections, BJ and Bridget reveal what truly matters in the end—and how the dying can teach the living not only how to face death but how to live more fully. We discuss: The personal journeys of BJ and Bridget into end-of-life care, and the connection between living and dying [3:30]; What dying looks like: the physical, cognitive, and emotional realities at the end of life [13:15]; How historical perspectives on death contrast with modern experiences of dying [25:30]; The difference between palliative care and hospice care [30:45]; The systemic challenges surrounding hospice care: why patients often enter it too late to receive its full benefits [35:30]; How delayed hospice referrals and unspoken preferences often prevent patients from dying where and how they truly want [39:30]; The realities of home hospice: challenges, costs, and burdens placed of families [43:45]; How proactively engaging with the reality of death can avoid unnecessary suffering and promote a more peaceful ending [53:30]; How palliative care is misunderstood and underutilized—especially in cancer care [1:02:45]; Palliative care in the case of Alzheimer's disease: emotional support, future planning, and family involvement [1:12:15]; The importance of having an advance directive: defining what matters most before it's too late [1:23:00]; The differences between how young and old individuals experience dying from cancer [1:30:15]; The difference between pain and suffering, role of medicine in pain relief, and why emotional healing is essential at the end of life [1:35:45]; Dying well: the power of self-honesty and human connection at the end of life [1:47:00]; How psychedelics like psilocybin can unlock emotional breakthroughs and deepen connection for patients near the end of life [1:55:15]; Lessons from the dying on how to live well [1:57:30]; The physical process of active dying, and the emotional and practical considerations for loved ones [2:09:30]; and More.

My guest is Azra Alagic, a Health Consultant, Behaviour Change Specialist, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, and host of the Biohack-Her podcast. After transforming her own health using evidence-based tools and technologies, Azra now helps women create personalised plans rooted in science, self-awareness, and integrative care.

This podcast brought together two remarkable friends—Peter Berry and Deb Bunt—for a conversation that was as inspiring as it was deeply honest. Hosted by Marianne Sciucco and Christy Byrne Yates, the discussion explored not only the personal journeys and books of Peter and Deb, but also the profound insights they've gained into living well with dementia. Peter's journey began with a diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's at the age of 50. As a successful business owner, he was shocked—and initially devastated—by the news. He shares openly about the dark period following his diagnosis, describing it as “a year of hell,” marked by depression and even suicide attempts. What's remarkable, though, is how Peter transformed that despair into a renewed sense of purpose. Inspired by both his own experience and his father's long journey with Alzheimer's, Peter resolved to become a source of hope and understanding for others facing similar challenges. Enter Deb Bunt, Peter's cycling buddy-turned-co-author and close friend. Their relationship is a beautiful demonstration of how support doesn't just flow one way. As Deb and Peter describe it, they each bring unique strengths to the friendship: Deb provides companionship and boundless camaraderie, while Peter offers technical know-how and navigational skills. Together, they reinforce the idea that living well with dementia is as much about mutual support and meaning as it is about medical care. This mutuality spills into their advocacy efforts—travelling throughout the UK, speaking at events, and writing books together. Their creative journey produced two books so far: Slow Puncture, a memoir of Peter's life post-diagnosis, and Walk With Me: Musings Through the Dementia Fog, a collection of Peter's raw and poetic reflections. Deb explained how Peter's poetic descriptions became the muse for her own long-harbored ambitions to write, and how collecting Peter's texts and turning them into a book gave both of them a sense of validation and purpose. These works don't just recount Peter's experiences; they offer a window into his emotional landscape—with metaphors that make the inexplicable aspects of dementia relatable. For Peter, cycling is like “a balloon that takes me high into the sky”—a momentary escape from the limitations of his diagnosis.

This conversation is on the practical wisdom the Christian tradition offers for something that affects all of us: matters of life and death. Dr. Lydia Dugdale will be our guide. Lydia has applied practices from this faith tradition in her daily work with patients and families as a physician, professor and medical ethicist in New York City. She draws deeply from it in her book The Lost Art of Dying: Reviving Forgotten Wisdom – which she wrote for her patients, and those who love them:“[Death] exists as a paradox … death has been conquered in the Resurrection of Christ, and then death is still the last enemy to be destroyed in the final resurrection of the dead.” — Lydia DugdaleWe hope this conversation helps paint a picture of what it means to live as a Christian on the road of life, where death is not the end, but a stop along the way to eternity.This podcast was recorded with a live audience at a Trinity Forum evening conversation in Nashville in 2025. It'll give you a good sense of what the Trinity Forum is about: a community of people working to keep the Christian intellectual tradition alive, to nurture new growth in it for society's renewal, and to make it available to all.
