Having grown up in Hong Kong, Dr. Carder, or simply Kim to her friends, has a unique understanding on the mental health climate of international, fast-paced cities. As a human-centered clinician, she adapts her approach to the children, teenagers and adults she works with and draws on her clinical training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Psychodynamic Analysis to help people overcome challenges they face.We talk about growing up in Asia, her love of combat sports that led to her career as one of the first professional female MMA fighters in in Hong Kong. We discuss what it means to push one’s limits, developing mental and physical aptitudes, and the importance of the mind-body connection - as well as what it means to pursue and even choose between one’s dreams. Kim shares her very timely thoughts on maintaining positive mental health in the often chaotic world we live in and how to overcome the common challenges that almost all of us encounter at some point in our lives.

Episode 364

While Bryan has been busy filming his new spinoff Schooled, Hunter has been working hard to figure out how to take Mixed Mental Arts to the next level. We've had so much fun sharing the best ideas we've found in books. We can't wait to share them with an even wider audience. But in the meantime, we will be releasing new episodes every so often.

Then the trio reviews their selections from last week.Liz Recommends - Loveville Highhttps://www.lovevillehigh.com/Imagine that your fave 90s teen movies ramped up the camp factor and added a musical score. That's pretty much Loveville High. "LOVEVILLE HIGH is a 9-part musical podcast series! Each ten-minute episode is a self-contained love story in the fictional town of Loveville, Ohio on prom night. New love, old love, romantic love, friend love, gay and straight, cis and genderqueer."This musical podcast has a book and lyrics by David Zellnick (Yank!) and music by Eric Svejcar (Peter Pan Jr)For both: This is a serial podcast so start at the start and listen to as many as you wish.Link: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/loveville-high/id1444830216Pat Recommends - Mixed Mental Artshttps://www.mixedmentalarts.online/Is hosted by comedian, actor, and writer Bryan Callen and Hunter Maats (the other guy). No I kid. Hunter is largely the reason I listened to this podcast. He's a plethora of interesting takes and titbits. This show is on hiatus, and with something new brewing behind the scenes so who knows what format it'll take next. The format it largely stuck to for 300 something episodes was conversations with a range of guests such as authors, comedians, actors, doctors, entrepreneurs, Mixed Martial Arts fighters, journalists, nutritionists, musicians, porn stars and video game developers.For Zane & Liz: Pick your poisonhttps://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/mixed-mental-arts/id1286827713Zane Recommends - Everything is Alivehttps://www.everythingisalive.com/Zane is finally showing his true colours and bring another improvised comedy podcast to the table! Everything is Alive is an unscripted interview show in which all the subjects are inanimate objects. In each episode, a different thing tells us its life story - and everything it says is true. Produced by NPR veteran Ian Chillag, Everything Is alive has a very serious tone, with very silly subject matter.For Pat: Pick one that amuses you!For Liz: Pick one that amuses you!https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/everything-is-alive/id1388419519?mt=2Subscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY, RADIOPUBLIC or your podcatcher of choice.Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER or INSTAGRAM.

Hunter Maats is a writer, educator and host of Mixed Mental Arts with Bryan Callen. He's also the co-author of Straight-A Conspiracy. Hunter draws from a wealth of experience. He was born in Riyadh Saudi Arabia, grew up in Greece and Brazil, went to high school in London, and college at Harvard. His mom is American (from Kansas) and his dad is Dutch. He never identified with any one culture and spent much of his life trying to make sense of the world around him.   His life and work is a portfolio of projects. He writes screenplays, tutors high school students in Los Angeles, and advises on multiple businesses and educational projects. He's my surfing partner, a great friend and I'm excited to share his story.

Actor/comedian Bryan Callen (THE GOLDBERGS, SCHOOLED, HANGOVER I & II) shares how his childhood growing up in countries all over the world inspired him to question labels and defy categorization, and he discusses his particular issue with the catch all term "Asians" to describe 48 different nationalities.  We talk about the polarizing effect of political parties, why he believes that liberals and conservatives share the same fundamental values, and why everyone should demand to be treated like a verb instead of a noun.  Bryan gets into the problem of political correctness and says that standup comedy is probably the last bastion of free speech in America.  We talk about how he became associated with mixed martial arts, what it’s like inside the surprisingly inclusive world of MMA, and how women in the UFC cured him of chauvinism.  Plus Bryan thinks he’d be a terrible border patrol agent, his proposal to make the world a better place thought "idea sex," and why at the end of the day we're all just complicated apes.   Don't miss Bryan's new comedy special BRYAN CALLEN: COMPLICATED APES now available on Comcast, DirecTV, Spectrum, AT&T, Dish, Cox, iTunes, Google Play, PlayStation, Xbox, and many more.  Watch Bryan on his ABC shows THE GOLDBERGS and SCHOOLED, subscribe to his podcasts THE FIGHTER AND THE KID and MIXED MENTAL ARTS on Apple Podcasts or wherever you like to listen, and follow him on twitter at @bryancallen.  Today's podcast was sponsored by Brother INKvestment tank printers.

Our first episode featuring Jim Sanders was about race.  During our conversation, he mentioned a seminal book The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander and I felt motivated to read it.  After I did I reached out to my friend Isaiah Gooley from the Mixed Mental Arts community to see if he would like to discuss the book itself.  The book is an extremely important piece of literature in regards to understanding American Culture.  This is our conversation about it.     Love in action is listening to understand, not to react.

In the episode, I talk about how listening to podcasts is the best way to find great books because: 1. Lots of podcasts feature interviews with authors 2. You get to know a little about the author before reading a book 3. You discover amazing people you never knew were authors 4. Books read after listening to author interviewed on a podcast never fail to be great 5. Bonus: Authors usually recommend lots of books they like on podcasts -My 2017 stats: http://bit.ly/2r3WTOp -2018 Reading Challange: http://bit.ly/2DdJDeZ -Want To Read List: http://bit.ly/2EJ27RD -Instagram: bit.ly/2rglmg9 -Twitter: http://bit.ly/2joINAC -Facebook: http://bit.ly/2DfYDZH --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/anotherweekinthebooks/support

If you haven’t heard the name David Sloan Wilson, then you’re definitely new to Mixed Mental Arts. David Sloan Wilson has pioneered Multi-Level Selection which is one of the cornerstones of the Mixed Mental Arts worldview. It’s how he earned his place in the Holy Trinity of Cultural Evolution and why his book, Does Altruism Exist?, is one of the Four Gospels of the Scientific New Testament.   You can find more of the work of the community David has created at Evonomics.com.

Hunter Maats from Mixed Mental Arts (podcast) with Bryan Callen talks about how we think, why culture is downloaded, and reconciling science and religion. Go get at them at their website MixedMentalArts.online (http://mixedmentalarts.online/) and listen to their podcast: Mixed Mental Arts. Special Guest: Hunter Maats.

Both Daron Acemoglu (MIT economist and co-author of Why Nations Fail) and Dacher Keltner (Berkeley psychologist and author of many books including Born to Be Good) have appeared on Mixed Mental Arts before. They both were amazing and Bryan Couldn't pronounce either of their names.  That is reason enough to bring them back and put them on together to see what happens. But, wait. There's more. Because these two together have the power to do something unprecedented in human history. At least since Plato's Republic, humans have debated the best form of government. (Plato thought it was a "Philosopher King" aka give someone like Plato or Bryan absolute power but recognized that democracy was the least bad system.) However, this has long been an endless debate in which people make the case for the system of government they're biased towards and then dismiss every other opinion as biased. In fact, this highly predictable criticism was leveled at Daron Acemoglu and his co-author James Robinson in the wake of Why Nations Fail. Also, we're starting a campaign to have them write a book together. James Robinson should come along too. Tweet them with #RealHolyTrinity if you want them to do it.

Nope. It's not a typo. Everyone has Ikigai - especially you. Finding it requires a deep and often lengthy search of self. But, first, you should probably Google it.  Or: “Hey Siri, search the web for Ikigai (ee-kee-guy)." Be sure to share what Siri thought you said. Just type Mixed Mental Arts into the search bar on Facebook, or tweet us @mixedmentalarts Until next time!  

If you're into podcasts, you've probably heard the name Daniele Bolelli. Hunter and Bryan heard it a thousand times. Then, one momentous day, Scott Weigand of Los Angeles Valley College told Hunter he HAD to listen to Daniele Bolelli’s course on Taoism. That did it! Hunter had to know more - who was this wizard? Hunter went to Bolelli's website, paid ten bucks and listened to the course. It blew his mind. And just like that another deep thinker was brought before the Emperor. Bolelli's crime? He had taken lots of books and whittled them down to the most powerful mental tools: great anecdotes.  Daniele Bolelli hosts two podcasts, The Drunken Taoist and History on Fire. He’s a member of the Mixed Mental Arts Facebook group and can be found there. You can find the serendipitous lectures here or (www.danielebolelli.com/downloads/taoist-lectures/) Until next time!

Michael Brooks co-hosts The Majority Report AND hosts his own show because Michael Brooks is a boss. Michael Brooks is also a self-professed socialist and yet Bryan a self-professed libertarian actually enjoys talking to him because Michael brings a different perspective. Woah! This idea sex is way better than idea incest. Imagine if we got more of humanity into leaving their echo chambers and practicing Mixed Mental Arts...or Michael Brooksiness.  You can follow him on Twitter at @_michaelbrooks and try and convert him from socialism by sending him money at https://www.patreon.com/TMBS.

The media prophet Marshall McLuhan famously said “The Medium is the Message.” While broadcast television created superstars who spoke to us while we patiently listened, the many technologies that make up the internet send a different message. We live in what Marshall McLuhan called the global village. And this means, we need to think very differently about how we interact with each other and be very careful about putting everything we see and consume in the right context for the younger generation. Who better to talk with then than Chris, the host of The Contextual Podcast? Who is Chris? I don’t know. We met on the internet, struck up a conversation and decided to do a podcast.   Coming from the world of traditional media, you wouldn’t interview Chris. Why? Because Chris isn’t famous. In the endless quest for attention, you’re supposed to ally yourself with people who have lots of it. However, that celebrity culture is a massively dysfunctional one. It is an abuse of kids’ awe and sets up celebrities to be isolated from the rest of humanity. How do you subvert that? Treat everyone like one of your fellow humans who deserves a voice. Revolutions are not made by playing by the existing rules. They are made by insisting that the rules are the ones which fit your view of the world. Mixed Mental Arts believes that the key to making humanity’s first family dinner go well is building a culture in which everyone is heard.

I'm not the only one talking about the failings of traditional schooling. I'm not the only academic talking about developing online courses for the public that they can't find anywhere else. I'm not even the only one using the language of martial arts in this context. (e.g. Jordan Peterson, Thaddeus Russell, Mixed Mental Arts ....) But I realize that even among my audience, it may not be clear how the Argument Ninja Academy is supposed to stand out -- how it's different from what I'm seeing in these other projects. In this episode I want to talk about these differences. I want to talk about what makes the Argument Ninja Academy special. There are three areas that I can point to. The first is the martial arts inspiration for this project. It goes way deeper than just borrowing the language of belt levels. The second is a unique approach to teaching and learning critical thinking and persuasion skills. And the third is the instructional design of the project, and the team I'm assembling to help make this a reality. The skill set they bring to the Argument Ninja Academy is powerful. We're going to talk about all of this today on the podcast. Specifically, I'm going to talk about what it means to be a martial art the difference between bujutsu and budo, the Japanese terms for martial art and martial path, or martial way, respectively. the martial context of critical thinking, and why this language isn't just metaphorical my own relationship to the martial arts, and the original inspiration for the Argument Ninja Academy what teaching and learning look like, when you focus on skill development rather than rote learning what I've learned from my team partners about thinking clearly and thinking big.  

Sell-out stand up comedian, podcaster, and actor, Bryan Callen, joins The Brink of Midnight Podcast. You know Bryan from sell-out stand up shows, hilarious roles in movies like "The Hangover" and TV shows like "MAD TV", "How I Met Your Mother", and "The Goldbergs", and from his successful podcasts (The Fighter and the Kid, Mixed Mental Arts, The Bryan Callen Show). Our long time friend and favorite funny guy, Bryan Callen, is a unique combination of comedian, actor, podcaster, philosopher, and history fanatic. Born overseas and living in six countries outside the U.S. before age 14 gave Bryan a world lens few experience. A master observer of the world and himself, asking difficult questions is the foundation of everything Bryan does from stand-up and acting to podcasting and being a family man. His pattern of repeatedly questioning everything and choosing to get uncomfortable has developed his sense of responsibility to his opportunities and his process for growth as an artist and human being. Bryan believes self-growth begins by being brutally honest with yourself. By honestly asking of yourself, "What would I want if I knew I couldn't fail? What would I really ask for if I knew I would 100% get it?" This conversation is chock-full of gems and takeaways on how to question, pivot, commit to your personal vision, practice less attachment, be more generous, and start with honesty and curiosity. Listening to Bryan make a point is like taking a journey through philosophy, poetry, history, real talk, self-deprecation, and gut-wrenching laughter. Bryan's vast knowledge and willingness to learn will make you want to simultaneously pick up ancient texts, learn a language, LAUGH, scare yourself, and share your original talents with the world for the greater good.

Hunter Maats, co-host of the Mixed Mental Arts podcast, joins me to talk about what athiests and members of ISIS have in common. Hunter was a guest on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast and stirred up controversy when he likened Sam Harris and his “new atheist” followers to Baghadadi and his ISIS followers. I'm glad...
