Live from the 2025 Nonference, Mike and Tim (In the same room) are joined in studio by Journey Church Pastors Suzie P. Lind and Sam Barnhart. What does it mean to truly deconstruct faith, and how can that journey lead to healing? In this heartfelt and thought-provoking conversation, the hosts tackle the complexities of "deconstruction," exploring disillusionment, doubt, discipleship, and ultimately, the pursuit of Jesus amidst cultural challenges. From addressing church hurt and systemic issues to reexamining theologies and navigating the intersection of faith and politics, this episode unpacks the role of the church in society and the personal journeys that shape our understanding of Christianity. Through themes of justice, cruciformity, and reimagining what it means to follow Jesus, the discussion dives deep into how cultural realities and historical practices influence our faith. The panel shares stories of heartbreak and hope, challenging the idea that questioning or rethinking faith is a departure from Jesus—instead, it's often a move toward deeper authenticity. Whether you're wrestling with theological questions, processing church trauma, or striving to navigate cultural issues as a follower of Jesus, this episode offers a space for reflection and community. Feel free to share your thoughts, send in your questions, or engage with us on Facebook and Instagram. Let's continue pursuing a faith marked by humility, curiosity, and justice together.

Aksinya Derevyanko is a postdoctoral researcher in Professor Nicola Allen's lab at Salk. For Derevyanko, recounting her journey from Russia to Spain to San Diego isn't just a practice in storytelling—it's an exercise in what she studies: memory. She watches the connections between our brain cells, called synapses, form, mature, and fail throughout our lifetimes and in diseases like Alzheimer's. Outside the lab? She tests her own synaptic strength by memorizing steps as a semiprofessional dancer.

Durant l'été, je vous propose une sélection des meilleurs épisodes de Vlan sur la dernière saison. L'occasion de découvrir ou redécouvrir des épisodes qui ont énormément plu. Albert Moukheiber, psychologue et neuroscientifique, revient sur le podcast pour parler de son dernier livre, Neuromania. Il est déjà venu sur Vlan 2 fois et ceci est le 3eme épisode que nous faisons ensemble - il est séparé en 2 parties par ailleurs.Dans cet épisode, nous plongeons dans un débat essentiel sur l'impact de la vulgarisation des neurosciences et les mythes qui en découlent. Pourquoi tant de personnes se laissent-elles séduire par des formations ou des concepts qui ajoutent le préfixe « neuro » pour paraître plus crédibles, comme la neuroproductivité ou le neuroleadership ? Albert nous explique comment ces simplifications, souvent fausses, influencent non seulement notre compréhension mais aussi notre comportement et nos choix de vie.Nous abordons des exemples concrets et marquants, tels que l'effet de nos attentes sur la douleur, illustré par l'incroyable histoire de deux ouvriers et leurs expériences opposées avec des clous. Albert démontre que la douleur est une expérience à la fois sensorielle et émotionnelle, et que nos croyances façonnent notre perception de la réalité. Nous discutons également de la notion de cognition incarnée, où le cerveau ne peut être dissocié du corps ni du contexte dans lequel il évolue, remettant en question l'approche réductionniste souvent adoptée.En tant que fervent défenseur de la démocratisation des sciences, Albert souligne l'importance de rester vigilant face à l'instrumentalisation des neurosciences à des fins commerciales ou idéologiques. Il nous invite à adopter une approche plus nuancée, à comprendre que, si notre cerveau est central, il n'est pas l'unique moteur de nos actions et émotions. Cet épisode riche en réflexions offre des clés pour naviguer entre fascination pour le cerveau et esprit critique face aux simplifications trompeuses.Que vous soyez curieux des sciences cognitives, sceptiques face aux discours populaires, ou simplement en quête de vérités plus profondes, cet échange vous fournira un éclairage précieux sur les complexités du cerveau et de la condition humaine.Les questions que l'on traite : Pourquoi sortir Neuromania maintenant, et quel est le concept de ce livre ?Comment les fausses explications neuroscientifiques influencent-elles notre comportement ?Peux-tu expliquer la notion de "neuromania" et son impact sur notre société ?Pourquoi certaines formations populaires utilisent-elles le préfixe "neuro" de manière abusive ?Comment les attentes modulent-elles notre perception de la douleur ?Qu'est-ce que la "cognition incarnée" et pourquoi est-elle importante ?Pourquoi l'idée du cerveau gauche/droit est-elle erronée ?Quelles sont les conséquences de simplifier la compréhension des neurosciences ?Quelle est la différence entre la connaissance utile et celle qui est utilisée de manière performative ?Comment les neurosciences peuvent-elles être à la fois démocratisées et protégées contre les simplifications ?Timelaps :00:29 – 01:35 : Introduction et discussions légères.02:03 – 02:30 : Albert parle de son livre Neuromania et de la « neuromania ».03:22 – 05:30 : Les effets des fausses croyances neuroscientifiques.06:44 – 08:55 : La surconsommation et la notion de responsabilité sociale.10:57 – 12:56 : La responsabilité de l'individu versus la société.15:09 – 17:26 : Pourquoi se méfier des formations pseudo-scientifiques.21:59 – 23:23 : L'importance de comprendre que le cerveau n'explique pas tout.33:40 – 36:41 : Développement de la neuroplasticité, mythe ou réalité ?39:10 – 41:09 : Le lien cerveau-corps et la cognition incarnée.47:36 – 48:59 : L'influence de la subjectivité dans la perception de la douleur.

Neuroscientist and psychologist Dr. Kristen Lindquist joins me for a fascinating conversation about how children develop emotional regulation — and how we as parents can support that growth not just through what we say, but how and when we say it.   Together we explore: Why the ability to feel and name emotions is something children build slowly over time — and what role parents play in that process. What neuroscience reveals about how the brain develops emotional literacy from infancy through adolescence (and even into adulthood!) How emotion regulation is like a “software update” that builds on the brain's existing “hardware.” Why the timing of emotional teaching matters — and how to use the “before” and “after” moments (not the meltdowns themselves!) for the most impact. How tools like play, books, and nonverbal attunement can build emotional awareness without overwhelming sensitive or avoidant kids. The role of interoception — our sense of internal bodily cues — in helping kids (and adults) understand and manage what they feel.   If you've ever tried to label your child's feelings mid-tantrum and been met with more screaming, or felt unsure how to help your child build real coping tools, this episode will help you take a science-backed, developmentally informed approach that fosters connection and long-term resilience.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Ozempic might be quieting the food noise for some women, but what happens when the medication wears off, the weight comes back, or the brain circuits underneath remain untouched?In Part 2 of the Spiritual Brain Surgery takeover series, guest host Leanne Ellington dives into what she calls the brain-based "Ozempic Effect", a natural, sustainable way to quiet the food noise by working WITH your brain's built-in circuitry for peace, safety, and self-control.This episode isn't here to judge the medication—or debate whether you should or shouldn't take it. We're not here to talk about the prescription- we're here to talk about the pattern.Because no matter how the food noise gets quieted, if you don't rewire what's underneath, it's just a temporary fix.Inside, Leanne breaks down:The exact brain circuits that drive food obsession, and how emotional eating, cravings, and compulsive thoughts are wired in neurologically (not rooted in a lack of discipline)Why medications like Ozempic can temporarily turn down the “food noise," but don't rewire the deeper brain loops causing it in the first placeHow to create a natural "Ozempic effect" in your brain by calming your nervous system, retraining your emotional coping patterns, and rewiring the food-seeking circuit, for goodThis episode blends cutting-edge brain science with Spirit-led truth, and gives you a roadmap to heal your brain, reclaim your peace, and end the war with food once and for all.Because when your brain is rewired for truth, the noise finally goes quiet.Resources and LinksWatch Leanne's on-demand workshop.Listen to Outweigh Podcast.Listen to What's God Got To Do With It?

Welcome back to another episode of Know Your Physio—the podcast where we dive deep into the science of human potential and self-mastery. Today, I'm beyond excited to introduce a guest who truly embodies resilience and what it means to live with purpose: Dr. Chris Lee.Dr. Chris Lee is not only a neuroscientist but also an entrepreneur and, most importantly, a compassionate human being whose journey has been shaped by immense personal challenges. He's navigated the profound loss of his father, taken on the responsibility of being a single parent, and powered through the demanding grind of earning his doctorate. Through it all, Chris has developed an unparalleled understanding of the human nervous system and the true art of self-regulation.In this episode, we dive into Chris's personal “why”—a journey that started with heartache but has evolved into a beautiful, transformative philosophy. Chris shares his foundational mantra: “If the flower doesn't bloom, you don't blame the flower.” This mindset shift helped him reframe pain, purpose, and the environments that either limit or liberate us. It's a powerful way to look at adversity—not as something to avoid, but as the very fuel for growth.We talk about the stark difference between being driven by suffering versus being inspired by purpose. High performers, as Chris explains, often unknowingly uncover what truly regulates them and what doesn't. We also explore the science of emotional intelligence, the importance of co-regulation in relationships, and how to thrive in an overstimulated world through "low-stimulation" habits.This conversation is raw, real, and packed with insights that will challenge your understanding of success. It's an invitation to embrace discomfort, redefine what “winning” really means, and discover the “unf*ckable” version of yourself that emerges when you do the inner work. Trust me—you don't want to miss this one.

In this episode, Jeff Bloomfield sits down with Dr. Chris Laszlo—professor, author, and co-founder of the Global Consciousness Institute—to explore a transformative new approach to business leadership. Drawing on decades of research and deep personal reflection, Dr. Laszlo challenges the narrow focus on profit and “sustainability” in favor of something richer: human and organizational flourishing. He introduces concepts from his book Quantum Leadership and shares why a leader's inner world—how they connect with self, others, nature, and transcendence—may hold the key to long-term impact, innovation, and success. If you're a business leader or executive struggling to align purpose with performance, this episode is a must. Laszlo unpacks how emotional connectedness and daily practices rooted in neuroscience, not spreadsheets, create the foundation for true, regenerative leadership. His insights are especially valuable for C-suite leaders, coaches, and culture builders who want to move beyond compliance checklists and unlock real transformation. Sustainability ≠ Flourishing: Laszlo distinguishes between surviving (sustainability) and thriving (flourishing), calling for a more ambitious goal for business. Origin in Philosophy: His father, renowned systems philosopher Ervin Laszlo, sparked  early reflections on systems, ethics, and purpose. Early Wake-Up Call: As a teen at a wealthy boarding school, Laszlo realized the disconnect between privilege and global inequality—igniting a lifelong purpose. Economics with a Conscience: Frustrated by ethics being an afterthought in business, he asked: “Why can't doing good be profitable?” Flourishing Requires Inner Transformation: Real change in organizations must begin with how leaders are, not just what they do. Four Connections Matter: Lasting impact comes from daily practices that connect leaders to self, others, nature, and the transcendent. It's Not About Time—It's About Intent: You don't need more hours—just more awareness in how you run meetings, lead conversations, and engage others. Quantum Science Meets Leadership: Emerging science supports the interconnectedness of all things, providing a scientific foundation for humanistic leadership. Daily Practices Matter: Laszlo identified over 110 “connectedness practices”—from running to music to mindful meetings—that enhance leadership capacity. The Future Is Conscious: Through his nonprofit (GCI.Earth), Laszlo works to scale practices that elevate global consciousness in business and beyond. 00:00 – Jeff sets the stage: leadership, communication, and purpose 04:24 – Chris's intro and worldview on business as a force for good 06:17 – Chris's origin story: systems philosophy and a call to make a difference 12:00 – Economic education vs. ethical purpose: the inner conflict 18:28 – Redefining “sustainability” as “flourishing” 23:00 – Neuroscience of emotions: positive attractors, stress, and connectedness 26:00 – Leadership research: over 100 practices of connected CEOs 32:00 – 4 types of connectedness: self, others, nature, transcendence 39:00 – Quantum leadership and global consciousness 43:00 – AI, consciousness, and humanity's next frontier 46:00 – Resources, books, and ways to connect with Chris

One of the big questions on Middle Ground was, “Were you addicted to porn?”If you've been here with me, you know — never. Not then, not now.I'm Dr. Trish Leigh, cognitive neuroscientist and author of Mind Over Explicit Matter. I sat down with porn performers on Jubilee's Middle Ground because people need to hear the truth: porn addiction is a silent tsunami wrecking real lives and genuine relationships.The only reason I'm in this work is because someone close to me — my friend Sam — almost lost his marriage to porn. I couldn't sit back. Once I saw how deep the damage goes, I knew my purpose was to help people like you break free.If you haven't watched the episode yet, check it out — but heads up: if you're in recovery, stay here with me instead.

Neuroscience in other countries will strengthen—at the United States' expense—as rising visa restrictions and rejections block many international students from enrolling at U.S. institutions and dissuade others from applying.

In this enlightening episode, Andrea Samadi welcomes resiliency expert and author Horacio Sanchez to discuss his latest book, "Unlocking School Bias: Using Neuroscience to Improve Student Outcomes." Together, they delve into how educators can effectively address bias in their classrooms by exploring neuroscience-based strategies. Horacio shares the significance of understanding subconscious biases, such as confirmation bias and impact bias, and their influence on students' well-being and achievement. He emphasizes the role of educators in creating inclusive environments by being aware of their own biases and adopting practical strategies that foster positive student interactions. This episode provides invaluable insights for anyone looking to make impactful changes in educational settings. Watch this interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/V78873aZPBk On today's EP365 "Unlocking School Bias" you will learn to explore your own and your students' biases and discover: ✔ The latest research from psychology, education, and neuroscience. ✔ Different types of biases, including confirmation bias and impact bias, and how they manifest themselves in everyday life. ✔Practical strategies for educators who are ready to change their and their students' actions. ✔How patterns in one's environment create biases and affect the brain's development Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 7 years ago now, with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to help us to APPLY this research in our daily lives. Welcome back! It's always good to take some time away, for travel and family time, and it feels incredible to routine back to recording and routine. Thank you for tuning back in after our summer break where I hope you have taken some time off to refresh, before diving back into the second half of 2025. For today's EP 365, we meet with someone who I first heard about on our very first interview, EP #3[i], with educator, Ron Hall, from Valley Day School, Pennsylvania on “Launching Your Neuroeducational Program.” Ron Hall mentioned it was today's guest who opened his mind to connecting the brain to his classrooms, many years ago, and he has never looked back. Today, we welcome back resiliency expert, author Horacio Sanchez to the podcast for the 4th time. We met him first on EP 74[ii] on “How to Improve Brain Science to Improve School Climate”, EP 111[iii] on “Finding Solutions to the Poverty Problem: and again on EP 177[iv] where we gathered a team of experts to dive into the most significant insights they've noticed over the years in neuroscience. When we first met Horacio, we focused on his book The Education Revolution [ii]published by Corwin Press, that addresses the decline in empathy, increase in obesity, and the impact of implicit bias on minority students. Our conversation turned to focus on the problems we were seeing in the world at that moment (July 2020) highlighting the need for racial change through an understanding of race and culture. I knew that Horacio was deep into his next book, The Poverty Problem: How Education Can Promote Resilience and Counter Poverty's Impact on Brain Development that we went deep into on EP 74. Today we meet with Horacio Sanchez to review his latest book, Unlocking School Bias: Using Neuroscience to Improve Student Outcomes[v] that was released in February of this year, through Corwin Press. His most recent book, Unlocking School Bias ends the confusion around bias and provides educators with research and strategies that enable them to effectively address bias in the classroom and school in appropriate and productive ways. Learn to explore your own and your students' biases and discover: The latest research from psychology, education, and neuroscience Different types of biases, including confirmation bias and impact bias, and how they manifest themselves in everyday life Practical strategies for educators who are ready to change their and their students' actions How patterns in one's environment create biases and affect the brain's development Implicit bias occurs subconsciously and so quickly that the conscious brain is unaware that it happened. Yet, with mindful practice and reflection, we can rewrite the automated processes in our brains, stop our subconscious minds from determining our thoughts and behaviors, and help our students feel safe and successful in school. Let's meet Horacio Sanchez and explore our own biases first, and then see how this understanding can help us with our students in the classroom, or with the athletes we coach, or in our workplace. Welcome back for the 4th time Horacio! It's incredible to see you again. What have you been up to (other than traveling and working in schools?) INTRO: Horacio, I know that implicit bias came up on our first interview, and I've had other guest speak about this topic, but I wonder what made you want to write this book about Unlocking School Bias? Q1: After reading the Foreword by David Fink, where he mentioned that “he lived in a world where everyone around him constantly made assumptions about how people with dyslexia and adhd thought, felt and performed in school” and that “you can't dodge these assumptions (that we know are biases). I started to see things differently, especially as you know the work I do day to day is around helping students who are struggling readers. I want to be sure that I am aware of my own biases. With the insights from David's Foreword, why is it so important (or critical) that we check ourselves every day to stop our subconscious mind from determining our thoughts and behaviors? How can we do this? Q2: How do you see biases impacting student wellbeing and academic achievement? Q3: This topic has become popular over the past few years. What are some common misconceptions about biases that are harmful? Q4: What have you uncovered with the latest psychology, education and neuroscience research that can help us to break through the bias barrier? How can we use neuroscience to understand how our brains produce bias, predict when it's probable, and prepare ourselves for appropriate responses? Q5: Chapter 1 The Birth of Bias you cover the first year of life of a baby, and how “in-group bias is an unattended outcome of infant-mother attachment” as well as how a “fear of strangers” first occurs in the early years of life. How can this brain-science now help teachers in the classroom with their students? What about for those who work with athletes? Or the corporate space? Q6: In Chapter 2 The Cup is Half Empty on the negativity bias, you cover in depth how “negativity bias is already present in the first year of life” and that “we are alerted to negative things in our environment faster than positive ones” and that “we remember negative experiences longer and more vividly.” This chapter was hard for me to read because I work hard to focus on the positive side of things every day, squashing the negatives, and wondered if brain science will go against all the hard work that I put into this. What does neuroscience say about the negativity bias, and how can we use this understanding to improve results in our schools, sports and workplaces? Q6B: The part of this chapter on change interested me, as I do come across your example from the book on change in my day to day experience. What can we do to help us through change, knowing how hard it is for the human brain?  Q7: In Chapter 3, Believe it or Not on Confirmation Bias, you cover how “our brain is programmed to see things in the environment that support existing beliefs” and that “research shows that teachers' beliefs about students might be the strongest predictor of outcomes.” This reminded me of what David Fink wrote about in the Foreword, that was behind the reason for why he has devoted his life to “addressing the biases that stunt student achievement and well-being.” How can we combat confirmation bias and update our belief system?  Q8: Horacio, I love the work of Julie Porter, who created the graphic that accompanies your book. She explains each chapter, with an explanation of each bias, as well as strategies that educators can use. Since I'm always looking to extend the learning to our sports environments and workplaces, is there anything we should do different in our sports environments or workplaces as we are navigating these biases? Q9: As I was reading your book, and thinking of these subconscious biases that we all have, it made me think of something that came up in my brain scan evaluation with Dr. Shane Creado, after we recorded EP #84.[vi] Dr. Creado asked me if I had ever done any shadow work. At the time I hadn't and I didn't even know what it was. I thought it must have been important, so I've since started to look at Carl Jung's work, and I wonder, how are our subconscious biases similar to our shadow-sides, or the hidden parts of ourselves that we can explore to improve our self-awareness? Q10: What are some final thoughts of what we can do with the “200 milliseconds where our subconscious mind has shaped our perceptions and influenced our behaviors?” What can we do to lessen the impact of implicit biases and create schools, sports or work environments where we can all flourish?” Horacio, I want to thank you very much for coming back to the podcast for a 4th time. What's next on the horizon for you? We need to have you back for a 5th time, which will be a record for us on the podcast, beating out all guests.

SummaryThis is a sermon every discouraged believer needs to hear. Drawing from the final chapter of Habakkuk, this is a word for every weary warrior in ministry. Even when the fig tree doesn't blossom, when everything's failing, and joy feels like a distant memory — there is still a reason to rejoice.From Winston Churchill's resilience to the pressure of modern ministry, this message walks through the power of gratitude, obedience, and spiritual deliverance as keys to finding joy again. You'll laugh, reflect, and most importantly — be renewed in God's joy.Chapters00:00 - Intro: Next Gen Friday and Churchill's Humor01:55 - The Power of the Happy Warrior04:22 - Habakkuk's Complaint & Collapse of Israel06:40 - Our World Today: A Modern Parallel08:35 - When Ministry Feels Hopeless10:27 - The Exhaustion of Overwork12:43 - When Your Prayers Sound Like Habakkuk14:26 - The Curse of Comparison15:38 - The Pressure of the Hourglass17:08 - Where's the Joy At?20:28 - The Command to Rejoice Always22:04 - Gratitude Sparks Joy25:22 - Obedience Unlocks Joy27:41 - When You Need Deliverance30:32 - Performance Mentality and Joy Thieves32:50 - Becoming a True Happy Warrior34:11 - Joy Gives You Strength36:00 - The Neuroscience of Joy38:17 - What If Joy Is the Secret to Revival?40:07 - Let God Be God — Rejoice41:23 - The Final Word: Draw from the Wells of SalvationShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

Biologist Lauren O'Connell studies poisonous frogs, but not just the toxins that make them dangerous. She also studies the neuroscience of their complex parenting. She's learned that tadpoles recognize their mothers by smell and do a “begging dance” when hungry, and that the frogs produce a protein that protects them from their own poisonous chemistry.  That protein could help treat overdoses in humans, O'Connell tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

MaximizeYourInfluence.com  Discover the Shocking Truth: How Multitasking is Sabotaging Your Influence and Crushing Your Productivity Imagine this: You're juggling emails, a Zoom call, and that "quick" social media scroll—all while convincing yourself you're a productivity powerhouse. But what if I told you this habit destroys your ability to influence and manage your time. For years, we've been sold the lie that multitasking is the key to getting more done. But cutting-edge studies from 2023 to 2025 paint a starkly different picture: multitasking doesn't boost efficiency—it destroys it through "task-switching," where your brain bounces between tasks, racking up hidden cognitive costs like slower performance, more errors, and exhausting mental fatigue. Think your brain is wired for parallel processing? Think again. Neuroscience reveals that we can only truly handle one complex task at a time; overloading the prefrontal cortex leads to poorer results across the board. A productivity analysis estimating that each task switch wastes anywhere from 10 minutes to a staggering 2 hours as your brain reorients itself. Persuade With Power Kurt Mortensen

Samah Karaki est neuroscientifique et autrice du livre L'empathie est politique. Je pense que Vlan! a été le 1er podcast a lui donner le micro il y a 2 ans et demi et depuis par sa pertinence et son travail, nous la voyons partout sur tous les médias!J'adore Samah, pour ne rien cacher nous sommes devenus amis et dans cet épisode, elle nous invite à déconstruire notre vision de l'empathie, souvent perçue comme un trait universel et positif.Pourtant, nous n'éprouvons pas tous la même empathie pour tout le monde, et ce biais est largement influencé par notre culture, les médias et les dynamiques de pouvoir.J'ai questionné Samah sur la nature biologique et sociale de l'empathie, sur la manière dont certains groupes sont déshumanisés dans nos imaginaires collectifs, mais aussi sur le rôle crucial des récits médiatiques. Comment se forge notre perception de l'« autre » ? Pourquoi avons-nous plus de compassion pour certains et moins pour d'autres ? Quel impact cela a-t-il sur nos sociétés et nos décisions politiques ?Au fil de cette conversation passionnante, nous avons aussi parlé du biais de confirmation, du rôle des réseaux sociaux dans la polarisation des opinions et de la manière dont l'individualisme moderne façonne notre rapport à l'altérité.Un épisode puissant qui pousse à la réflexion et à l'introspection.Les questions que l'on traite : Qu'est-ce que l'empathie et comment la définir ?Pourquoi l'empathie est-elle essentielle à notre évolution ?Quelles espèces animales possèdent également une forme d'empathie ?Qu'est-ce que la contagion émotionnelle et comment fonctionne-t-elle ?L'empathie est-elle une capacité innée ou acquise ?Comment les médias influencent-ils notre perception de certaines populations ?Pourquoi avons-nous plus d'empathie pour certaines personnes que pour d'autres ?Peut-on apprendre à être plus empathique ou à contrôler notre empathie ?En quoi les récits historiques et politiques modèlent-ils notre empathie collective ?Comment éviter de tomber dans le piège du biais de confirmation ?Timelaps :00:00 – Introduction et présentation de l'épisode01:18 – Définition de l'empathie : un phénomène biologique et social02:36 – L'évolution de l'empathie chez l'homme et les animaux04:51 – La contagion émotionnelle : pourquoi imitons-nous les émotions des autres ?08:09 – Pourquoi n'avons-nous pas tous le même niveau d'empathie ?12:11 – L'exemple des nazis et la déshumanisation des groupes17:39 – L'influence des médias sur notre perception des autres25:33 – L'essentialisation des minorités dans les productions culturelles35:25 – Pourquoi avons-nous plus d'empathie pour les victimes que nous voyons ?53:19 – Le rôle des journalistes dans la construction de notre empathie58:27 – Comment éviter les biais de confirmation ?01:00:32 – Trauma et empathie : quel impact ?01:02:54 – L'instrumentalisation de l'empathie à des fins politiques01:08:00 – Conclusion et réflexions finales Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : #206 Comment développer l'esprit critique chez les enfants?

Episode Summary: If you’ve ever put off a task, knowing it needs to get done, but found yourself scrolling social media, reorganizing your closet, or doing anything but the thing you should be doing, this episode is for you. But here’s the twist: we’re not just talking about procrastination from a behavioral standpoint. Today, we’re diving into the neuroscience behind procrastination: what’s happening in your brain when you delay and how understanding this can help you overcome it. Quotables from the episode: Procrastination is the act of delaying or postponing tasks, especially those that are important or time-sensitive. Most of us associate it with laziness or poor time management, but it’s actually far more complex. When we procrastinate, we disrupt that God-ordained rhythm, often leading to stress, guilt, and missed opportunities. Procrastination isn’t just a matter of willpower; it’s a battle within your brain. Specifically, it’s a tug-of-war between two parts of your brain: the limbic system and the prefrontal cortex. When we procrastinate, the limbic system overrides the prefrontal cortex. It’s almost like a toddler throwing a tantrum and the parent giving in. But here’s the good news: the more we understand this process, the better equipped we are to address it. There are several reasons why we procrastinate: fear of failure, perfectionism, lack of clarity, immediate gratification, pride. Strategies to overcome procrastination: break tasks into smaller steps, set specific, time-limited goals, use rewards wisely, challenge negative thinking, invite God into your work, practice self-compassion. Friend, if you’ve been struggling with procrastination, I want you to know there’s hope. You’re not alone, and you’re not stuck. God designed your brain with incredible potential, and by understanding how it works, you can make choices that align with His purposes for your life. Procrastination isn’t just about avoiding tasks; it’s often about avoiding discomfort. But growth happens when we lean into that discomfort with faith, knowing God equips us for every good work. Scripture References: Ecclesiastes 3:1 that ‘there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.’ Proverbs 14:23 reminds us, ‘All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.’ God calls us to diligent stewardship of our time and gifts, but understanding these barriers helps us address them with grace.” Colossians 3:23 encourages us to ‘work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.’ Recommended Resources: Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

Send us a textHow brain synapses work and fuel themselves with fat.Episode Summary: Dr. Timothy Ryan talks about the high energy costs of synapses, the role of mitochondria and glycolysis, and challenge the long-held view that the brain relies solely on glucose by discussing new evidence that neurons burn fats from lipid droplets for fuel, especially during activity. The talk touches on metabolic flexibility, links to epilepsy treatments like ketogenic diets, neurodegenerative diseases, and future research on brain energy sources.About the guest: Timothy Ryan, PhD is a professor of biochemistry at Cornell University. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of synaptic transmission, particularly vesicle recycling and the bioenergetics that power neural communication. Discussion Points:Synapses are tiny structures with ~100 vesicles per site (on average), converting electrical signals to chemical ones.Brain tissue is energy-hungry due to trillions of synapses (in humans), relying on local mitochondria (present in only ~half of synapses) and glycolysis.Vesicles use proton pumps and transporters to concentrate neurotransmitters, requiring ATP to maintain gradients.Neurons are metabolically fragile; cutting fuel supply quickly impairs synapses.Dogma held brains don't burn fats, but new work shows neurons form lipid droplets (fat stores) that are invisible because constantly used for energy via beta-oxidation.Silencing neurons builds lipid droplets like resting muscle; activity speeds their breakdown, indicating demand-driven fat use.Inhibiting neuron-specific fat-processing enzymes accumulates droplets and induces torpor (hibernation-like state) in animals, signaling metabolic stress.Ketogenic diets aid epilepsy by shifting to ketones; fats may explain this, with potential ties to aging and neurodegeneration like Alzheimer's.Brain may be a "hybrid" fuel user (glucose + fats), with open questions on fat sources and roles in cognition or disease protection.Related episode:M&M 158: Ketosis & Ketogenic Diet: Brain & Mental Health, Metabolism, Diet & Exercise, Cancer, Diabetes | Dominic D'Agostino*Not medical advice.Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

What if the fastest path to authority isn't years of experience, but the willingness to ship what others are too afraid to publish? Today I'm sitting down with Csaba Borzási, the copywriter who transformed from student to expert by breaking down legendary sales letters and teaching what he learned, proving that authority is claimed, not granted. We dive deep into how Csaba built his authority through daily sales letter breakdowns, why he replaced 80% of his lead magnets with a single filtering book, and the neuroscience behind his "Belief Shifting Emails" that rewire subscriber brains. Plus, the truth about AI copywriting that most experts won't reveal, and how Csaba leverages it without losing his human edge. This might just change how you think about authority, email marketing, and why perfect is the enemy of shipped. Hit play and let's go.

Can you giggle your way to inner peace? In this episode, host Paula Felps sits down with author Tom Rosshirt to explore the joyful — and surprisingly profound — power of silliness. Drawing from his book, Chasing Peace: A Story of Breakdowns, Breakthroughs, and the Spiritual Power of Neuroscience, Tom reveals how embracing our goofy side can be both spiritually liberating and scientifically beneficial. From dancing like no one's watching to reciting nursery rhymes alone, silliness helps us sidestep rigid self-images, face embarrassing emotions, and retrain our brains for resilience. In this episode, you'll learn: How silliness acts as a spiritual practice. Why laughter and childlike play can retrain the brain and reduce stress. Simple, everyday ways to embrace your silly side (even if it feels embarrassing at first).

On episode 704 of the 40 Plus Fitness podcast, Coach Allan sits down with Dr. Kyra Bobinet, author of Unstoppable Brain: The New Neuroscience That Frees Us from Failure, Eases Our Stress, and Creates Lasting Change. Dr. Bobinet brings nearly three decades of expertise in neuroscience and behavior change, and together they explore the concept of "failure disease"—that sense of being stuck or losing motivation, especially when it comes to health and fitness over 40. In their conversation, Dr. Bobinet reveals the groundbreaking science behind what really drives our habits and why so many of us feel like we're destined to fail—spoiler alert: it's not just a lack of willpower! You'll learn about the role of the brain's “motivation kill switch,” the habenula, and get practical tools for working with your brain instead of against it. Whether you struggle with all-or-nothing thinking, motivation loss, or the weight of past failures, this episode is packed with actionable strategies to help you break the cycle and create lasting change.

In this episode, we sit down with therapist Britt Frank to discuss the intention action gap, the psychological term for the chasm between what you very much intend to do and what you tend to do instead. It turns out, there's a well-researched psychological framework that includes a term for when you have a stated, known goal – a change you'd like to make in your life – something you wake up intending to finally do or get started doing, but then don't do while knowing full well you are actively not doing what you ought and wish you had done by now. After we discuss this phenomenon and how to deal with it, we get into procrastination and how to escape all manner of dead-end behavioral loops. The Getting Unstuck WorkbookThe Science of StuckKitted ShopThe Story of KittedHow Minds ChangeDavid McRaney's TwitterYANSS TwitterShow NotesNewsletterPatreon

As you may have heard on previous episodes here, I've grown a distaste for the concept of validation. It seems everyone wants to talk about their feelings and perspectives and then claim their right to be validated, even if their feelings and perspectives are incredibly misguided and harming themselves and others. I began putting my focus on self-validation and fulfilling the need internally instead of looking to others. It turns out, I wasn't totally off base, but I was missing out on an opportunity to connect with people. I found out by having a deep conversation with Dr. Caroline Fleck, which you are about to hear. Caroline is a licensed psychologist and a world-renowned expert on the topic of validation, and her new book Validation: How the Skill Set That Revolutionized Psychology Will Transform Your Relationships, Increase Your Influence, and Change Your Life has already been translated in nine different languages. Caroline has an M.A. and PhD from the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University and has become a highly respected voice in psychology which finds her featured in national media outlets, such as The New York Times, Good Morning America, and The Huffington Post. When I got the request to have her on the show, I replied back to her personally, sharing my reservations, and asked if she was game to discuss my skepticism on validation. She was, and I got great value and insight into what validation is and is not, and how I can better use it to authentically connect with people, even if I do not at all align or support their perspective.

Right now, inside your skull, sits the most sophisticated wealth-creation machine ever designed. But here's what neuroscientists discovered when they put millionaire brains under advanced imaging technology - their neural networks fire in completely different patterns than everyone else's. When a millionaire sees a financial opportunity, specific clusters of neurons light up that remain completely dormant in average earners. When they process risk, different pathways activate. When they calculate time and money relationships, entirely separate neural networks engage. The wealthy don't just think different thoughts - they think with different parts of their brains. Dr. Sarah Chen's groundbreaking study at Stanford tracked neural activity in over 200 millionaires during financial decision-making tasks. The results shocked the research community. Millionaire brains showed massive activation in regions associated with pattern recognition, future planning, and reward calculation - while showing almost no activity in fear centers that dominate average earners' financial thinking. Your brain contains these same neural pathways. Every human brain does. But in most people, these wealth neurons remain dormant, inactive, waiting for the right activation sequence to bring them online. Wealth neurons are specialized neural networks that process financial information through multiplication rather than subtraction. When millionaires encounter money, these neurons automatically calculate growth potential, investment possibilities, and leveraging opportunities. When average earners encounter money, different neurons activate - ones focused on conservation, protection, and scarcity management. The difference is staggering. Brain scans show millionaires processing a $10,000 investment opportunity with neural patterns focused on how that money could become $100,000. Average earners process the same opportunity with neural patterns focused on how they might lose $10,000. Same information, completely different brain activation. These patterns can be implanted. Neuroscience proves that brains remain plastic throughout life, capable of rewiring at any age. The neural pathways that create millionaire thinking can be installed in any brain through targeted mental programming. In this episode we will implant the patterns of the millionaire mind. All you have to do is listen.

Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/ Chronic pain isn't just about injury, it's a whole-body experience shaped by your brain, nervous system, and unresolved trauma. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace are joined by Matt Bush, educator and founder of Next Level Neuro, to unpack the neuroscience of pain. Together, they explore how chronic pain is often a protective output from a dysregulated nervous system, not a sign of damage, but of danger. Through stories, science, and powerful reframes, you'll learn why pain persists even when tissue damage has healed, and how complex trauma and emotional suppression play a major role. The conversation covers neurotags, interoception, perfectionism, dissociation, and the tools needed to rewire the brain's pain pathways — offering hope for those living in pain and practitioners looking for deeper healing frameworks. This is a must-watch for anyone who experiences chronic pain, works with trauma, or wants to understand the body's hidden survival strategies. Topics discussed in this episode: Why chronic pain is an output, not just a symptom The neuroscience of pain: neurotags, predictions, and protection How trauma wires the brain for pain Why people with high ACE scores are more likely to develop chronic pain The link between dissociation, perfectionism, and pain Emotional repression as a driver of chronic pain What interoception tells us about the pain loop Central sensitization and why the brain gets “louder” over time The connection between complex PTSD and somatic symptoms Why emotional expression is key to nervous system healing How somatic work, movement, and neuro tools can rewire pain pathways Why chronic pain relief is possible — but multifactorial
