Something for nothingDo rewards and incentives damage our humanity?In much of our personal and professional lives, we receive rewards for good behaviour and carrying out our responsibilities. But, evidence now suggests there are risks to this approach. Studies show rewards can damage wellbeing, fostering dependence and undermining our own sense of control. And neuroscientists have shown those more prone to seeking reward have a 70% higher risk of addiction, with addictive behaviour now present in almost half of the U.S. population. So, should we move away from rewards-based systems, and instead learn to value doing the right thing simply for the sake of, well, doing the right thing?Paul Bloom is a Canadian-American psychologist, bestselling author, and celebrated speaker. Bloom has written widely on human nature, and he won the Klaus J. Jacobs Research Prize for his investigations into how children develop a sense of morality.Dan Ariely is a Professor of Psychology and Behavioural Economics at Duke University and best-selling author.

We'd love to hear from you, send us a text about your favorite show!Before you push through one more to-do list on an empty tank, let's pause and talk about the belief that says you have to earn your rest. Because here's the truth: rest isn't something to chase when everything's finally done—it's something your spirit is already worthy of, right now.In this episode, we explore WHY self-care can feel so out of reach for the ones who give the most. For the intuitive ones. The nurturers. The empaths.  The healers. The ones who feel responsible for holding it all together.You'll uncover where these invisible blocks come from—and why the very people who uplift others often struggle to honor their own needs.

What does your schedule reveal about your priorities? In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the concept of "Ordo Amoris" – the proper order of love – and how rearranging our priorities according to God's design can transform our relationships and restore meaning to our lives.Drawing from a compelling article in The Epoch Times titled "First Things First," we explore how modern culture has flipped natural priorities upside down. When career advancement, self-fulfillment, and digital distraction take precedence over faith, marriage, and family, the consequences ripple through every aspect of society – from declining birth rates to fractured families.The truth is uncomfortable but necessary: actions reveal priorities. No matter what we claim to value, how we spend our time tells the real story. Many of us treat our spouses, children, and even God as convenient companions rather than cherished relationships deserving our best time and attention.Scripture reminds us that the Day of the Lord comes "like a thief in the night." This urgency should reshape how we approach each day. Are you loving your spouse today as if you might not wake up beside them tomorrow? Are you investing in your faith as if eternity depends on it? Because it does.The path forward requires courage to reorder our lives: God first, then spouse, then children, family, community, and country. When we align our priorities with this divine pattern, we don't just improve our own lives – we contribute to healing our nation and drawing closer to God's design for humanity.Join me in examining what truly deserves your time, attention, and love. Your daily choices are shaping not just your present reality but your eternal destiny.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

With Jose on holiday, the duo unpacks the online uproar surrounding Perry's spaceflight, exploring why it sparked such a passionate conspiracy theory movement. Lee shares how this frenzy reveals a deeper societal hunger for control and conflict, noting, “If you're happy and just living your life, you're in the wrong — and that's wild.” The discussion evolves into an examination of internet culture, distrust of elites, and how some use conspiracy as a coping mechanism in a chaotic world.The conversation isn't just about space — it's about space in our minds we fill with distraction when life feels out of our control. Lee and Ryan connect these themes to personal growth, highlighting the importance of focusing on our own goals instead of being pulled into the digital noise. The episode blends humor with depth, offering a unique perspective on how we react to the unfamiliar and the flashy.Don't miss this engaging chat!

Too Many Options? The Real History of Freedom and Choice with Sophia Rosenfeld The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series QUOTE:    "Our choices shape our identity—but not everyone gets the same menu." – Sophia Rosenfeld ⚖️ Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and today, we're asking a question that touches every part of our lives—one that feels especially relevant to those of us 50 and older, navigating life's later chapters with purpose, curiosity, and maybe... a little decision fatigue. What if the very thing we've been told defines our freedom—our ability to choose—is actually overwhelming us? Our guest today, renowned historian Smithsonian Associate Sophia Rosenfeld, asks that very question in her brilliant new book available at Apple Books, The Age of Choice: A History of Freedom in Modern Life. Smithsonian Assocaite Sophia Rosenfeld will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up. Please check out our show notes for more details on her presentation titled: A History of Freedom in Modern Life: The Age of Choice. But we have Sophia Rosenfeld today who'll tell us that from grocery aisles to voting booths, from personal belief to political identity, Rosenfeld takes us on a riveting tour of how we came to equate picking from a menu with liberty itself—and what that belief has cost us. This is no abstract academic exercise. For those of us who've lived through decades of cultural shifts—from the rise of consumer culture to the women's movement to the explosion of digital options—this story feels personal. Why does having more choices so often lead to more anxiety, not more joy? What happens when freedom starts to feel like pressure? Smithsonian Associate Sophia Rosenfeld, chair of the history department at the University of Pennsylvania, brings rich detail, warmth, and sharp insight to this conversation. We'll talk about dance cards and department stores, ballots and beliefs, and how something as simple as choosing your lunch became a reflection of who you are. So, whether you're rethinking your next big decision—or just what kind of toothpaste to buy—this is a conversation you won't want to miss. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and this is The Not Old Better Show. Let's get into it. In a time when everyday life feels saturated with decisions—what to buy, how to vote, who to trust—The Age of Choice reminds us that more options don't always mean more freedom. Sophia Rosenfeld's powerful insight reframes modern liberty, challenging us to rethink how choice shapes our lives, values, and collective future. That's it for today's conversation—fascinating, right? My thanks to  Smithsonian Assocaite Sophia Rosenfeld who will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up. Please check out our show notes for more details on her presentation titled: A History of Freedom in Modern Life: The Age of Choice. Smithsonian Associate Sophia Rosenfeld has taken us from 18th-century shopping stalls to modern-day ballots and browsers, showing us that freedom isn't just about choosing... it's about understanding why we choose, how we choose, and who shapes the options we're given. For those of us over 50, this episode hits home. We've lived through eras where choice expanded dramatically—and now, we're often the ones making the biggest decisions of our lives: retirement, caregiving, health, even where to call home. Rosenfeld's insight is a powerful reminder that freedom isn't about endless options—it's about meaningful ones. You can listen to this episode and so many more at NotOld-Better.com, where our entire archive is available for streaming anytime. Follow us on social media—we're on Twitter at @notoldbetter and Instagram at notoldbetter—and let us know how you define freedom in a world full of choices. This is a production of N.O.B.S. Studios, and I'm your host, Paul Vogelzang. Thanks for spending time with us today, and please—join me again next time.

Poet Nathaniel Blackhelm joins Vince to discuss his latest collection, Lothario—a bold and reflective work that navigates the terrain of midlife, identity, and the surreal beauty of being human. In this conversation, we unpack the archetype of the Lothario, the friction between cultural identities, and the role of lust, humor, and self-worth in shaping how we live and love. Blackhelm speaks candidly about the absurdity of modern existence, the challenge of curating meaning through poetry, and the influence of Shakespeare in his work. This episode is a deep dive into artistic freedom, aging with vitality, and how metaphor helps us survive the chaos.Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0BK292M3C/abouthttps://www.instagram.com/nblackhelm/Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/14182861.Nathaniel_BlackhelmTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nblackhelmFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jay.helmstutler/Threads: https://www.threads.net/@nblackhelmBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/nathanielblackhelm.bsky.social

We'd love to hear from you, send us a text about your favorite show!Let's talk about the love language of gifts — often misunderstood and sometimes dismissed as materialistic. But what if I told you it's actually deeply connected to abundance, reciprocity, and the powerful flow of giving and receiving? People with this love language are often more than just gift-givers; they're cultivating a dynamic energy of generosity, where both the act of giving and receiving creates a beautiful exchange that reflects the abundance of the universe.In this episode, we'll dive into how the love language of gifts isn't just about the physical gifts — it's about opening ourselves to the expansive energy of abundance that flows through us when we share with others. Gifts are a sacred expression of love and connection, and through them, we can tap into a deeper sense of generosity, joy, and spiritual alignment. It's a love language that encourages us to receive as much as we give — and when we do, we unlock a richer, more fulfilling relationship with Spirit.In episode four of our special five-part series on the Spirituality of the Love Languages, we're diving into Gifts.  By embracing the power of gifts, you'll experience a fuller flow of abundance — not just materially, but spiritually, emotionally, and relationally.Christina Wooten helps you access the wisdom and support of the Spirit World to elevate your life.She is a Certified Psychic Medium and Reiki Master Teacher.  Christina is the owner of Sedona Medium and co-host of Modern Life and Spirit podcast.She offers Psychic Medium Readings, Soul Readings, Past Life Regressions, and teaches how you can start communicating and receiving messages from your Spirit Guides - through her program.Learn more about her offerings hereCurrently registering for Fall Reiki in-person classes in Sedona - beginners welcome!  Contact www.SedonaMedium.com Today!Enroll in Fall Reiki Classes Today!

How much has our understanding of choice evolved throughout history? And what has that invention meant to how we experience and acknowledge freedom? Sophia Rosenfeld is a professor of history at the University of Pennsylvania and an expert on the history of things taken for granted. Her books, Common Sense: A Political History, Democracy and Truth: A Short History, and most recently The Age of Choice: A History of Freedom in Modern Life, examine the origins of ideas that have become so commonplace in our modern world, they can often go overlooked. Sophia and Greg discuss the historical role of choice in consumerism, politics, and personal relationships, how choice initially got a reputation for being a feminine phenomenon, what choice has meant for concepts like freedom, and the political evolution of common sense in today's world. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Has choice become the ultimate measure of freedom?47:24: Choice once had this kind of very moral apparatus around it. And, as I mentioned, over time, choice became more, I would call, value-neutral. It meant pick what you like. I don't have to like your choices; it's just what you prefer. But the strange third twist in this story is that just having the choices itself started to become a moral good. Just saying choice itself was the good, and I think that's not always right because there are certainly moments in which choice is freeing, but there are also choices that are not freeing—there are choices that are contrary to our well-being, there are places where choice is not a benefit. This choice of any weapon to buy, for instance, is a different kind of decision than saying choice in profession. Your choice in profession has little bearing on me. Your choice in weapon might have a large bearing on me or the other guy down the street. So I do question the assumption that more choice, more opportunities, more options is always preferable.How choice became the definition of freedom37:22: In the face of the threat of communism on the one hand and the threat of fascism on the other, one thing that starts to emerge most strongly in the U.S., but also in other parts of the sort of allied world, is a convergence around political choice and commercial choice, saying that what freedom is, is having choice in these two different domains. And from that point forward, I think you might say that democracy and capitalism get wedded together around the notion that choice is freedom.Is having more choices always a good thing?42:42: We've now seen policies emerge on the right and on the left framed around choice. School choice is usually more appealing on the right, reproductive choice more appealing on the left. So, I would have said that choice is one of those things that we are so used to that it's a kind of unquestioned value across the political spectrum. We might fight about what should be and by whom, but we don't fight about the value of choice itself. And to this day, things are marketed all the time around choice. You look at billboards or look at advertising anywhere you are, and you'll see choice is still a really common term—whether it's banking, house cleaning, or anything else. That may be ending in some spheres on the right.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Thomas PaineAlexis de TocquevilleThe Man Who Understood Democracy: The Life of Alexis de Tocqueville by Olivier ZunzJane AustenHannah Arendt Guest Profile:Faculty Profile at University of PennsylvaniaProfessional WebsiteHer Work:The Age of Choice: A History of Freedom in Modern LifeCommon Sense: A Political HistoryDemocracy and Truth: A Short History 

Welcome to the Alfalfa Podcast

In this episode of the Moral Imagination Podcast I speak with Fr. J. Augustine Wetta about his book Humility Rules: Saint Benedict's Twelve-Step Guide to Genuine Self-Esteem. The world teaches us to assert ourselves, to follow our passions, to speak up, talk back, “get yours,” don't let anyone stand in your way. But it doesn't really work. As Tyler Durden proclaims in Fight Club: “We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact.”In contrast to the world's and Fight Club's response (which we won't talk about), Fr. Augustine looks at the Rule of St. Benedict and his ladder of humility as a guide for real happiness and true self-esteem, which comes not from self-assertion, but from self-denial, selflessness, serving others, and not being a slave to one's own will and desires. We discuss Fr. Augustine journey from a lifeguard, surfer, and rugby player to a Benedictine monk, and some of his stories teaching high school students, and throwing himself into a rosebush. In his Rule for monks, St. Benedict explains that any progress toward holiness, happiness, and relationship with God and others must be grounded in humility. He describes humility as a ladder – with one side as the soul and the other as the body. …if we want to reach the highest summit of humility, if we desire to attain speedily that exaltation in heaven to which we climb by the humility of this present life, then by our ascending actions we must set up that ladder on which Jacob in a dream saw angels descending and ascending (Gen 28:12). Without doubt, this descent and ascent can signify only that we descend by exaltation and ascend by humility. Now the ladder erected is our life on earth, and if we humble our hearts the Lord will raise it to heaven. We may call our body and soul the sides of this ladder, into which our divine vocation has fitted the various steps of humility and discipline as we ascend. (St. John's Abbey) Fr. Augustine goes through each of the steps on the ladder of humility * Fear of God * Self-Denial * Obedience * Perseverance * Repentance * Serenity * Self-Abasement* Prudence * Silence * Dignity * Discration* Reverence The book is excellent. It is morally and spiritually serious and entertaining. I laughed out loud several times.Fr. Augustine offers apparently outlandish advice to to people struggling with anxiety, worry, and broken relationships* Don't speak up* Be someone's doormat* Don't follow your dreams* Put your worst foot forward And gives “homework” to practice each of the steps including:* Make no excuses next time you are reprimanded * Clean a toilet * Say thank you next time someone tells you something you already know * The next time you see something not done your way - leave it be if it worksIn addition to Humility Rules we discuss a number of topics including:· His book on decision making called , Pray, Think, Act: Make Better Decisions with the Desert Father· Joy cannot be grasped, but is the fruit of love and self-denial.· St. John Cassian and his writings on the eight vices – including the vice of self-esteem, and why focusing on ourselves prevents us from building good relationships and finding happiness.· Challenges of modern life, particularly the impact of digital distractions on mental health and spiritual well-being· The difference between contemporary meditation practices with traditional Catholic contemplative prayer.· The importance of cultivating an attitude of reverence and gratitude· The role of obedience in spiritual growth – and why it's probably not a good idea to throw oneself into a rosebush.· How chastity requires us to see others as persons and subjects, not objects for use· St. Benedict's rule on Silence, how silence increases mental clarity and attention to others, and the magnificent quote from Dom Paul Delatte OSB Commentary on the Rule of St. Benedict“The fundamental purpose of silence is to free the soul, to give it strength and leisure to adhere to God.It delivers us from the low tendencies of our nature and of fixing us in the good.“Biography Augustine Wetta is a monk of Saint Louis Abbey in Saint Louis Missouri. He has two degrees in Theology from Oxford University, a BA in Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations from Rice University, and an MA in English from Middlebury College. For twenty years, he has taught English, Classics, and Theology at the Priory School, in Saint Louis, Missouri, where he also coached rugby and served as Director of Chaplaincy.  In 2019, he was named a Portsmouth Institute Senior Fellow.  He writes for Our Sunday Visitor, and hosts a blog entitled "Disagreement" with Islamic social activist Umar Lee, and frequently appears on EWTN and Saint Joseph Radio.In 2014, he was awarded the Judson Jerome Poetry Award and the Bill Baker Award for Fiction at the Antioch Writers Workshop (the first author in the history of the conference to win both). In 2015, he was awarded the Taliaferro Award for Memoir Writers at the San Francisco Writers Conference, where he was also a finalist for the Emerging Writer Award.He is the author of several books: * Pray, Think, Act a book on decision-making based on the sayings of the Desert Fathers* The Eighth Arrow, a fantasy prison-break set in Dante's Inferno * Saving Grace, an illustrated children's book about a three-legged turtle.* Humility Rules: A 12 Step Guide to Genuine Self-Esteem which has sold over 100,000 copies and has been translated into five languagesThe son of an artist (Jean Carruthers Wetta) and a historian (Frank Wetta), Father Augustine was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1971, but grew up in Galveston, Texas. There he learned to surf and developed an enormous ego as a lifeguard on the Galveston Sheriff Department Beach Patrol.

We'd love to hear from you, send us a text about your favorite show!Sometimes, the loudest communication we receive is completely unspoken. A comforting hug, a reassuring hand on the shoulder, or holding someone close can say what words never could. From the moment we're born, touch is one of our first experiences of love—it soothes, nurtures, and connects us in ways beyond the physical. Touch isn't just about affection; it carries an energy that speaks to something deeper within us.In this first episode of our five-part series on the Spirituality of the Love Languages, we're exploring the deeper, energetic meaning of Physical Touch and how it serves as a powerful vessel for Divine love. Whether you naturally seek out physical connection or it's not your primary love language, understanding its spiritual significance can open your heart to new ways of experiencing love, healing, and connection.We'll dive into how touch carries energy, why it plays such a central role in spiritual practices like Reiki and laying on of hands, and how even those who aren't big on physical affection can still embrace its essence in a meaningful way. This episode will help you see Physical Touch in a whole new light.Christina Wooten helps you access the wisdom and support of the Spirit World to elevate your life.She is a Certified Psychic Medium and Reiki Master Teacher.  Christina is the owner of Sedona Medium and co-host of Modern Life and Spirit podcast.She offers Psychic Medium Readings, Soul Readings, Past Life Regressions, and teaches how you can start communicating and receiving messages from your Spirit Guides - through her program.Learn more about her offerings hereContact www.SedonaMedium.com Today!Support the show

I am delighted to welcome Steve Magness back to the show to discuss moving from survival mode to truly thriving. Modern life, with its relentless pressures and social media's constant comparison trap, leaves many feeling isolated, inadequate, and unfulfilled. So what to do about it? Steve shares his thoughts on the ‘inner game' - the art of intrinsic motivation and long-term fulfilment. Steve opens up about his own experience living in survival mode while being a whistleblower against Nike's Oregon project. We also tackle the shifting nature of the American Dream, from internal fulfilment to external validation, and the vital importance of 'non-attachment'. Highlights: The rise of burnout, mental health struggles, and loneliness in modern society The impact of social media on attention spans and mental health as well as feelings of inadequacy and isolation The ‘inner game'—learning to play for intrinsic motivation, not just external rewards How values and ethics guide decision-making in high-pressure environments The American Dream: from internal fulfilment to chasing external validation Sport as a metaphor for life and why self-transcendence matters more than trophies Non-attachment, the paradox of self and no-self, and the balance between flexibility and security Steve Magness episode 1 - Do Hard Things: https://pod.fo/e/1832d0 Book: https://www.stevemagness.com/books/

For many of us, daily life is defined by a near-constant stream of decisions, from what to buy on Amazon to what to watch on Netflix. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz consider how we came to see endless selection as a fundamental right. The hosts discuss “The Age of Choice,” a new book by the historian Sophia Rosenfeld, which traces how our fixation with the freedom to choose has evolved over the centuries. Today, an abundance of choice in one sphere often masks a lack of choice in others—and, with so much focus on individual rather than collective decision-making, the glut of options can contribute to a profound sense of alienation. “When all you do is choose, choose, choose, what you do is end up by yourself,” Cunningham says. “Putting yourself with people seems to be one of the salves.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Could Anyone Keep Track of This Year's Microtrends?” by Danielle Cohen (The Cut)“The Age of Choice: A History of Freedom in Modern Life,” by Sophia Rosenfeld“The Federalist Papers,” by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay“What Does It Take to Quit Shopping?
