You should watch the surreal new movie On Becoming a Guinea Fowl. It opens with a Zambian woman finding her uncle's body on the road. His death brings the family together from near and far, but also resurfaces old wounds — wounds the elders would much rather ignore. It's a powerful story about the silence that keeps families from breaking, but only in superficial ways, and with devastating consequences.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

This episode marks a new emphasis for On Becoming. While I have referred to trauma before, here it becomes a lens through which we examine high-control religion (like Evangelicalism). I begin by considering the role of cruelty in Christianity, though a recent article by David French. Next, I turn to Alice Miller's book The Drama of the Gifted Child as a way of thinking about how children are often treated with a lack of respect and thus traumatised. Finally, I turn to James Dobson to work out the ways in which trauma and violence are part of most Evangelical's upbringing.

The latest film releases include Mickey 17, On Becoming a Guinea Fowl, Night of the Zoopocalypse, and The Rule of Jenny Pen. Weighing in are Witney Seibold, contributor to SlashFilm and co-host of the podcast Critically Acclaimed, and Amy Nicholson, host of the podcast Unspooled and film reviewer for The Los Angeles Times.

President Trump’s ambitious goal to deport 10 million immigrants faces legal challenges and pushback. What do the on-the-ground realities look like? With roughly two dozen hostages still alive, the Gaza ceasefire is in trouble. How is Trump impacting the negotiations?  Critics review the latest film releases: “Mickey 17,” “On Becoming a Guinea Fowl,” “Night of the Zoopocalypse,” and “The Rule of Jenny Pen.” Canada is the top export market for California wine. Trump’s threatened 25% tariffs on our northern neighbor have led some Canadian provinces to pull not just wine, but all American alcohol, from their shelves.

In this episode, I kick off a brand new series: CCPT Purism—a deep dive into what it truly means to be a pure Child-Centered Play Therapist. I've seen a growing trend where therapists think they are practicing CCPT, but in reality, they've drifted from full adherence to the model. This series is about going back to the foundations—understanding where CCPT came from, why it matters, and how to ensure we are practicing in full alignment with its core principles. We start by looking at Carl Rogers and his revolutionary shift from psychoanalytic and behavioral approaches to person-centered therapy. Rogers' belief in self-actualization, client autonomy, and the healing power of the therapeutic relationship paved the way for CCPT. I explore how these core ideas challenged traditional therapy and why our role is not to fix, direct, or control—but to provide a space where healing naturally unfolds. Episode References: Rogers, C.

Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer explains how mindfulness can unlock timeless youth, reshape reality, and bridge the gap between mind and body. Known as the "Mother of Mindfulness," she shares how we are our own limiters, the power of language, and the path to a stress-free life. Ellen also covers the role of rituals, human evolution, and how to access mindfulness in daily life. ========== OUR GUEST ========== Ellen J. Langer was the first woman to be tenured in psychology at Harvard, where she is still professor of psychology. The recipient of three Distinguished Scientists awards, the Arthur W. Staats Award for Unifying Psychology, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Liberty Science Genius Award, Dr. Langer is the author of eleven other books, including the international bestseller Mindfulness, as well as The Power of Mindful Learning, Counterclockwise, and On Becoming an Artist. Her trailblazing experiments in social psychology have earned her inclusion in The New York Times Magazine's “Year in Ideas” issue. She is known worldwide as the “mother of mindfulness” and the “mother of positive psychology.” She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. ============= ELLEN LANGER =============

Rungano Nyoni est née en Zambie en 1982. Ses parents émigrent au Pays de Galles quand elle a 9 ans. Elle s'essaie très tôt aux court-métrages, puis réalise son premier long métrage en 2017, quand elle braque sa caméra sur une fillette accusée de sorcellerie dans son village. Dans son second film, il est encore question de rites et traditions. Pour la première fois, un film zambien a été présenté au Festival de Cannes en 2024. En compétition dans la section «Un certain regard», On Becoming a Guinea Fowl est couronné du prix de la meilleure réalisation. Dans son second film On Becoming a Guinea Fowl (« Je pourrais devenir une pintade »), la cinéaste Rungano Nyoni évoque tour à tour le deuil, le mutisme, le doute, le remord, le secret, la famille, la détresse des femmes et les ravages des hommes disparus. Une sorte de cinéma-réalité :« Je pense qu'il est très difficile de définir le rôle du cinéma. Mais je sais ce que j'essaie d'accomplir avec le cinéma. Je suis toujours à la recherche de quelque chose de véridique que j'essaie de raconter. Je ne sais pas pourquoi je mène cette recherche ainsi, alors qu'il y a d'autres manières de faire du cinéma, j'en suis sûre. Et parfois, aussi curieusement, la vérité peut aussi paraître fausse. Ainsi, tu peux avoir un moment véridique qui s'est réellement produit. Mais quand tu le transfères au cinéma, cela ne semble pas réel. Alors, il faut falsifier la vérité pour qu'elle paraisse véridique. »Toujours à la recherche de cette justesse de traitement, son film est d'une grande intelligence, conscient que la réalité n'a souvent pas besoin d'artifices. « Je pense, en ce qui me concerne, que le cinéma est une expression, un point de vue et un moyen de communiquer. Cela pourrait sembler très ringard, mais pour moi, c'est la meilleure façon de communiquer, parce que dans la vraie vie, je trouve cela assez difficile. C'est donc ma façon de compléter une conversation, je suppose. »« Je dénonce les traditions »Cette comédie dramatique, dont l'histoire se déroule en Zambie, exprimant un féminisme sombre et désabusé, porte un regard inédit sur les abus, les traumatismes, les secrets enfouis et les mensonges au sein d'une famille. « Je dénonce les traditions, mais je ne pense pas qu'elles posent problème. Je pense que c'est de la misogynie sous forme de traditions. La victimisation des femmes, c'est ce que j'essaie de combattre », développe Rungano Nyoni.Elle effleure le non-dit, le rendant visible tout en s'appuyant sur les rêves et les hallucinations : « Je suppose que les fantasmes et les rêves que j'utilise beaucoup sont des éléments qui montrent quelque chose qui est ressenti, mais qui n'est pas dit explicitement. C'est probablement pour cela que je choisis davantage les rêves, parce qu'ils expriment les sentiments beaucoup plus qu'ailleurs. C'est toujours quelque chose que j'essaie d'exploiter et de découvrir, mais c'est une sorte d'exploit, je pense. C'est essayer d'exprimer quelque chose sans l'exprimer. »Rungano Nyoni est un talent confirmé du cinéma africain. Ce cinéma qui montre depuis plusieurs années sa puissance, avec un nouveau dynamisme qui s'ouvre sur l'avenir.À lire aussiCannes 2024: la réalisatrice Rungano Nyoni, exploratrice des réalités sociales de la Zambie

Where in your life can you practice critical thinking?How can you think critically about your communication?…John Chetro Szivos is a semi-retired professor but still an active author who recently published On Becoming a Critical Thinker: Awakening Your Business Superpower. A student of Vern Cronen's at UMass, Amherst and a dedicated CMM researcher and follower of the philosophy of John Dewey, he offered this manuscript to help others improve their thinking to make better social worlds.Today, John and Abbie discuss communication and critical thinking, not as skill sets, but as embodied ways of being. Abbie and John explore an experience of John's as a metaphor for the practice of critical thinking, consider the (potentially) complimentary relationships between individuality and sociality, and break down what it looks like to practice critical thinking. John discusses the difference between technical and adaptive problems and how critical thinking shapes our responses.

Ep 176: Cannes Film Festival 2024, we review Bird, Megalopolis, The Girl With the Needle, and more This episode of Girls On Film comes from Cannes, where Anna Smith speaks to Jane Crowther and Wendy Mitchell about their Film Festival highlights. Anna hosts the very first Girls On Film party at The Members Club, and speaks to some of the guests about their work at the festival and which films they've enjoyed. First up, Anna takes us through the soundscape of Cannes and walks the red carpet for Emilia Perez. Anna joins the Women in Film and TV yacht party, to hear CEO Katie Bailiff's speech, before heading to MUBI's beach party. It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it. Then Anna invites film journalists Jane Crowther and Wendy Mitchell to discuss the films they've seen in Cannes so far, which include Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Megalopolis, The Girl With the Needle and On Becoming a Guinea Fowl, as well as Andrea Arnold's Bird, Wild Diamond, and feminist comedy horror The Balconettes. Jane talks about her new role as editor-in-chief of Hollywood Authentic, a new luxury, glossy magazine, and Wendy discusses her portfolio of projects including the upcoming Sundance London, and San Sebastian Film Festivals. Wendy and Anna are both on the Palm Dog judging panel for Best Canine on screen, so naturally the conversation turns to the various dogs in films at Cannes. They also discuss the impact of #MeToo and Time's Up, and recent changes at the Cannes Film Festival, including the arrival of signs stating that harassment won't be tolerated. Finally, we join Anna at The Members Club for Girls On Film's own Cannes party. We hear from a few of the guests, who include Akua Gyamfi of The British Blacklist and Dame Heather Rabbats of Time's Up, who talk about the launch of their new initiative around appropriate hair and makeup for diverse requirements on set. Anna also speaks to Nicole Weis of IFC Films, producer and comedienne Ronni Ancona, director Rachel Ramsay, and The Girl With the Needle co-writer Line Langebek Knudsen, and our wonderful supporter, IMDb founder Col Needham.

In this episode, I talk a bit about my tendency to have multiple projects going at once, and how that probably informs a recurring dream I have about never being able to get where I need to be. But mostly I explore some of the ideas put forth in the 1961 book On Becoming a Person, by Carl Rogers. We people are change, embodied. We are always in a state of becoming, so don't go thinking you've become who you're going to be! You'll never become who you're going to be because that would mean there's a goal in mind, some static version of yourself that, once achieved, you'll never stray from. To get the most out of our ever-changing-ness, we need to be open to our experience, and able to share that experience in word and deed with the people we care about. There's a lot more going on in this episode, so give a listen if you wanna!

EPISODE 104: House of Waters is the confluence of multiple streams. With immersive studies in India, Senegal, Japan, the Americas, and beyond, House of Waters has synthesized a new and unique sound. For sixteen years, Max ZT (hammered dulcimer) and Moto Fukushima (six-string electric bass) have carefully crafted a combined voice. Their rare instrumentation allows for the two prolific composers to create a distinct sound, and a compelling and captivating style. For their brand-new, GRAMMY® nominated album On Becoming, they are joined by the masterful Antonio Sanchez on drums. The trio offer virtuosic performances showcasing their creativity and curiosity both in their six compositions, as well as in three fully improvised additional pieces. With guest appearances by the iconic guitarist Mike Stern, and Grammy-Nominated vocalist Priya Darshini, On Becoming emphasizes the exploration of a sound, of a composition, and of a moment. houseofwaters.comContact us: makingsoundpodcast.comFollow on Instagram: @makingsoundpodcastFollow on Threads: @jannkloseJoin our Facebook GroupPlease support the show with a donation, thank you for listening!

This episode is part of a new series from On Becoming. These shorter episodes — which we will call ‘Pensées, after the work of Blaise Pascal — will serve as ‘reflections' on the general themes that will be addressed at greater length in our standard, full-length episodes each week. In this pensée, Dr. Benson discusses the idea of what the future of higher education may be, and outlines a few of the issues in colleges and universities that will come up in our full episode this week.

Mindfulness is a hot topic, but how many people even know what the term really means? To dive into it we have one of the world's foremost researchers on this topic. Ellen Langer has been researching mind-body unity for nearly half a century, and her work has influenced everything from behavioral economics to healthcare to positive psychology. We've cited her work on numerous occasions before, most notably the chambermaid study, as well as several studies led by students from her lab. This work generally centers on how our beliefs influence how our bodies respond to things we might normally assume are strictly biologically mediated. You'll hear quickly in this episode that we did not come to this conversation immediately agreeing on the applicability of mindfulness in all situations, but Dr. Langer presents compelling arguments for its advantages. Ellen Langer was the first woman to be tenured in psychology at Harvard, where she is still professor of psychology. The recipient of three Distinguished Scientists awards, the Arthur W. Staats Award for Unifying Psychology, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Liberty Science Genius Award, Dr. Langer is the author of twelve books, including international bestseller Mindfulness, as well as The Power of Mindful Learning, Counterclockwise, and On Becoming an Artist. Her trailblazing experiments in social psychology have earned inclusion in The New York Times Magazine's "Year in Ideas" issue. She is known worldwide as the "mother of mindfulness." We discussed a large number of research studies in this episode, here are just a few of the most foundational and most frequently cited: Mind-set matters: exercise and the placebo effect, better known as "The Chambermaid Study," is a classic that demonstrates how our mindset towards physical activity directly influences its health benefits. Blood sugar level follows perceived time rather than actual time in people with type 2 diabetes is one of several Langer studies relying on rigged clocks to show how perceived time can be more influential than actual time, even on something as seemingly biological as blood sugar. Mind over milkshakes: mindsets, not just nutrients, determine ghrelin response shows that how we think about our food directly influences how it is digested and the nutritional value it provides.

This week, on The PQI Podcast season 5 finale, we sit down with  Ellen J. Langer, Ph.D., to discuss her most recent book, THE MINDFUL BODY: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health, and her mindfulness work in oncology.Dr. Langer was the first woman to be tenured in psychology at Harvard, where she is still professor of psychology.

Join us for a wide-ranging conversation about the power of positive thinking, the mind-body connection, and the realization that many of our limits are self-imposed. Dr. Langer even helps our host with some of his own insecurities and answers the question: "can positive thinking improve hearing loss and the need for glasses?"
