Episode 3054: Nir Eyal and Lakshmi Mani explore how the “peak-end rule” shapes our memories, influencing the way we evaluate experiences and make future decisions. By intentionally crafting memorable high points and thoughtful endings, we can improve everything from daily routines to product design and customer satisfaction. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.nirandfar.com/2018/04/peak-end-rule.html Quotes to ponder: "The peak-end rule states that people judge an experience largely based on how they felt at its peak and at its end, rather than the total sum or average of every moment of the experience." "In the case of experiences, we remember the highlight and the ending." "The memories we take away from an experience influence how we evaluate those experiences, and whether we want to repeat them."

“If you want rest, you have to take it. You have to resist the lure of busyness, make time for rest, take it seriously, and protect it from a world that is intent on stealing it.” That's a quote from Alex Pang's book, Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less. How many of you are taking a holiday (“vacation” for my American friends) this year? I know that for many—myself included—taking a holiday is not something they find comfortable. They know they need it, yet there's just so much to do and so little time to do it. Anyway, having just returned from a ten-day holiday, I thought I would share with you some ways you can get some significant rest and still use your holiday time for some useful work.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. For many people, going on holiday is something they look forward to. It's an opportunity to get away from the daily grind of meetings, deadlines, emails, and messages. Yet for others, it can be more stressful than when at work. There's a worry that something important will be missed or that an emergency of their making will occur while they're away. However, there's is something else a holiday offers you, that few people ever take advantage of. In this week's episode I will share with you the things I do while away. Now, some of what I do may not be for you—I run my own business which means I need to be watching, at the very least, what is happening within the business each day. Yet, many of the things I will suggest may be just the thing for you to help you get on top of your work. Now, before I get into the ideas, just a quick heads-up. Before I went away, I launched a brand new, ground-shattering course. The Time-Based Productivity course. It's an evolution of everything I've taught over the last several years. You have no control over what's coming in each day, yet feel you must finish everything. Trying to decide what's important, what can wait, and what must be done right now causes you to freeze, become anxious, and then spend time reorganising all your tasks. It's unsustainable and leaves you feeling lost, out of control, and overwhelmed. Enter time-based productivity, where what matters is how much time you allocate to the different types of work you need to do. It's a method that works, and will transform your relationship with time once and for all. There's currently an early-bird discount of 20% on the course. So, if you want to become less stressed, more in control of your time, and have the time to do the things you want to do, this course is for you. Oh, and I should point out that this course also gives you free access to my Areas of Focus and my all-new Time Sector System course. Okay, now on with the podcast. First up, we have to accept that even though we are on holiday, email and messages are not going to stop coming in. They just don't. If you're employed, I would strongly advise that you set up an auto-respond email that informs the sender that you are away and will not be checking your email while away or responding to anything when you get back. Instead, inform them to resend the email on the day AFTER you get back. This does two things. The first is it allows you, if you wish, to delete anything that came in while you were away. For those of you who are more squeamish, you can archive them instead. The second is it sorts out the important from the not important automatically for you. If something's important, you will get the email again the day after you return to work. Why the day after you return? Well, I can promise you on your return to work, there's going to be a lot of catching up to do. You don't want a lot of emails coming in on that day causing you to instantly feel overwhelmed on your first day back. For those of you, like me, who cannot, or are not willing to, stay away from their email, then setting up a routine can help. I travelled to Ireland. That's eight hours behind Korea, so my sleep schedule changes. Normally, I am a night owl. I prefer to work late into the evening and start the day around 8:30 am. When I am in Europe, that changes and I become an early bird. I normally wake up around 4:00 am and go to bed around 8:30 pm. I use the two hours between 4:30 and 6:30 am to deal with communications and admin tasks that, as a business owner, are my responsibility to deal with. It's just two hours a day done before the day gets started. The great thing with this approach is that once I've done it, that's it for the day. I won't return to my email or messages for the rest of the day and I get on and enjoy the holiday. This is a better approach than to come back to 800+ emails and messages on your first day. If you're going straight into meetings and catching up with what has happened while you were away, you've just created a huge backlog for yourself that will take weeks to get back on top of. Next. One of the biggest issues I get from my coaching clients is they don't have any time to step back and define what is important to them, reorganise their daily structure or to establish what their core work is. Holiday time is great for this. There's often a lot of travelling involved, and it's likely to be with your family. This is a wonderful opportunity to talk with your partner about what you want as a family. My wife and I use flying time to talk about what we want to accomplish as a family over the next year. It's not planned. It's spontaneous. And, it's usually when we are flying back home rather than when we fly out. Yet, we always do it. I remember when I was employed and suffering from what we called “the holiday blues”. This is where you feel slightly depressed on your return to work for a week or two. You miss the sense of relaxation and have nothing to look forward to except for the daily drudge of work and meetings. Having a talk with your partner and or family on your return journey can give you a multitude of things you can do as a couple or family. Giving you something to look forward to. If you're taking a summer holiday, this is also a good time to review how you are doing on your goals this year. When this year started, I was 88 kilograms (about 195 pounds or nearly 14 stone). That's way above my target weight of between 80 and 83 kilograms (175 to 180 pounds or 12 ½ to 13 stone) So, my number one health and fitness goal for 2025 was to get my weight back to within my normal range. That was achieved, but, while away I ate too much—don't we all when on holiday?—and need to refocus my attention on getting it back. Fortunately, it's only two or three pounds, so the target it to get it back within acceptable limits by the end of July. This means, I need to quickly get back into my exercise routine and eat healthily. It's a great way to get yourself refocused on your return. Another thing you can do while away is to do some digital cleaning up. I love this time. While you're on holiday there is likely to be pockets of time you can use to clean up your notes, calendar and task manager. Let's be honest, when we're in the day to day hustle, we throw a lot of useless information into our notes and add tasks into our task manager that we know we will never do. This is a wonderful time to clear these out. Last Wednesday, my first day back at work, my notes were organised, my task manger was clean and tight and my calendar was cleared of conflicts. What a wonderful way to restart. What I noticed was I felt organised, focused and ready for anything. Isn't that what a holiday is meant to do for you. Yet, if you don't do any cleaning up, you come back to a mess. Nothing has changed and the very things you hate about your work life continue. No control, a messed up list of things to do and a calendar that fills you with dread. And, something powerful happens when you do this learning up. You learn a lot. You discover better workflows and processes and you gain a sense of optimism about how the changes you make now will bring you incredible rewards once you return to work. I often find I cannot wait to get restarted because I'm excited to test out new ways of managing my work day. And let's be honest, cleaning things up doesn't require a lot of mental energy. It's the kind of thing you can do in the evenings with a laptop on your knees while enjoying a cocktail or two. (Although not too many. You don't want to delete important things) Now, you may be thinking ‘no way! I'm on holiday I don't want to deal with any work issues'. And I get that. But, and it's big but, your holiday may only last a week or two, and then you're back at work. Doing all or some of these tips, will last far longer and leave you with less stress and overwhelm. It gives you optimism, and helps you to refocus on the important things in life. Surely, a few hours out of your holiday time to do some cleaning up is worth it to feel that way? In the past I've not done any of these things and just found myself in the same mess I was in before my holiday. It's not pleasant and that's when I struggled with the holiday blues. Now, I do these things and I've never experienced holiday blues and instead am excited to get back to work feeling refreshed and energised. It's your choice. But I can assure you, if you do all of these or just some of them on your next holiday, you will continue to do it for every holiday in the future. Thank you for listening and don't forget to check out the brand new Time Based Productivity Course. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.

Significant Data Breaches and VulnerabilitiesMcDonald's AI-driven hiring platform, Olivia (by Paradox.ai), exposed 64 million applicant records due to weak security, including a password as simple as "123456." In Sweden, security personnel inadvertently revealed Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's whereabouts by sharing fitness routes on Strava. Qantas suffered a breach affecting 5.7 million customers, with personal details like addresses and phone numbers exposed via a third-party platform compromised by the Scattered Spider group. These cases demonstrate the risks of inadequate security in automated systems and third-party integrations.Skepticism Around Jack Dorsey's Bitchat AppJack Dorsey's Bitchat, a decentralized messaging app using Bluetooth and end-to-end encryption, faces skepticism due to its lack of external security audits. Researchers identified flaws, such as a broken identity verification system enabling impersonation. Dorsey's warnings on GitHub advise against using the app until properly vetted, raising concerns about premature launches of privacy-focused tools.“Contagious Interview” AI-Powered ScamThe “Contagious Interview” scam, linked to North Korean hackers, targets job-seekers on platforms like LinkedIn. Posing as recruiters from fake companies (e.g., BlockNovas LLC), hackers use AI-generated personas and fake profiles to trick victims into installing malware disguised as interview tools. This malware, including BeaverTail and InvisibleFerret, steals passwords and cryptocurrency data, showing the potent combination of AI and social engineering in cybercrime.Quantum Computing Threat to EncryptionQuantum computing's rise threatens current encryption methods like RSA and ECC, posing risks to data security in industries like finance and healthcare. Experts recommend adopting post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by inventorying encryption-reliant systems, requiring vendors to provide PQC migration plans, and updating firmware to quantum-resistant signatures to protect against future decryption threats.OpenAI's Challenge to Productivity SoftwareOpenAI is poised to disrupt Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace with an AI-powered productivity suite. Leveraging generative AI, it offers collaborative writing, editing, brainstorming, and graphics assistance, potentially at a lower cost than Microsoft's Copilot. This move signals a shift toward AI-driven productivity tools, challenging established market leaders.xAI API Key LeakA DOGE employee, Marko Elez, accidentally exposed an xAI API key on GitHub, granting access to over 52 AI models, including grok-4-0709. Elez's role in DOGE, with access to sensitive U.S. government data, amplifies the risk. The unrevoked key and prior DOGE leaks suggest systemic security negligence, endangering AI models and government data.Cybersecurity TakeawaysThese incidents emphasize the need for robust cybersecurity in automated systems, thorough vetting of third-party platforms, caution with digital footprints (e.g., fitness apps), and external security reviews for new apps. Vigilance against AI-driven scams is critical, with users urged to verify sources and software.Broader Cyber Threat TrendsThe reliance on vulnerable third-party platforms, sophisticated AI-powered social engineering, internal security lapses, and the looming quantum computing threat demonstrate the need for proactive, future-proof cybersecurity strategies to safeguard sensitive data and systems.

What if fear wasn't the enemy, but the doorway to your highest self? In this electrifying episode of the Thrive State Podcast, I sit down with former U.S. Marine, polar explorer, and founder of Fearvana, Akshay Nanavati, to unpack how fear, suffering, and self-transcendence can unlock the life you were meant to live. Akshay has faced war, addiction, and darkness—literally. He's spent 17 days in pitch black stillness. Dragged a 420-pound sled across Antarctica. And lived to teach us what it means to truly transform fear into fuel.
Guest: Svetla Yankova, Founder and CEO, Citreno Topics: Why do so many organizations still collect logs yet don't detect threats? In other words, why is our industry spending more money than ever on SIEM tooling and still not “winning” against Tier 1 ... or even Tier 5 adversaries?

All of the above? What are the organizational problems that keep organizations from getting the full benefit of the security operations tools they're buying? Top SIEM mistakes? Is it trying to migrate too fast? Is it accepting a too slow migration? In other words, where are expectations tyrannical for customers? Have they changed much since 2015? Do you expect people to write their own detections? Detecting engineering seems popular with elite clients and nobody else, what can we do? Do you think AI will change how we SOC (Tim: “SOC” is not a verb?) in the next 1- 3 -5 years? Do you think that AI SOC tech is repeating the mistakes SOAR vendors made 10 years ago?

On the sidelines of the otherwise contentious Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Qingdao, a quiet yet significant development unfolded. India was once again assured by Russia of the timely delivery of the remaining two S-400 Triumf air defence systems. Russian defence minister Andrei Belousov himself communicated this to his Indian counterpart Rajnath Singh, offering some comfort to New Delhi's strategic planners. Indian media outlets covered the commitment with cautious relief. https://theprint.in/opinion/india-russia-s-400-deal-delivery-delay/2687025/

“Obedience” in marriage is a loaded word—what does it really mean? Are women expected to submit like servants? Is Christian marriage inherently unequal? Or is there something deeper, more beautiful, and profoundly mutual at play?Today I'm joined by Mary Stanford, who has spent her career unpacking this very paradox. How can a woman “submit” as described in Ephesians 5 and still be a full, free, and equal partner in marriage?Mary dives into the God-given differences between men and women—how our bodies and dispositions reflect distinct, complementary gifts—and how this complementarity can lead to deep unity and even fruitfulness, both literally and spiritually.This topic isn't without controversy. The line between holy submission and enabling harmful dynamics is razor thin. Join the conversation in the comments and help us wrestle with one of the most misunderstood teachings in Scripture.Obedience Paradox book: https://www.amazon.com/Obedience-Paradox-Finding-Freedom-Marriage/dp/1681926954Mary's faculty website: https://www.christendom.edu/academics/undergraduate-faculty/mary-stanford/NEW: Join our exclusive Rose Report community! https://lilaroseshow.supercast.com - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, monthly AMA, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!

The latest US tax increases were a 35% tax on products from Canada—in spite of Canadian concessions over digital taxes. It is not clear if the tax applies to all Canadian products, or just products not covered by the revised NAFTA (currently taxed at 25%), or to oil (currently 10%). US President Trump signaled that when they were tired of the lost art of letter writing, all remaining countries would be taxed at 15% to 20% (the penguins of the Heard and McDonald Islands thus know their fate).
We are beyond delighted to welcome The Paradox to The Wasting Time Podcast — and even more honoured to be their first ever overseas podcast appearance! In this episode, we dive into the band's meteoric rise over the past year — from opening for Green Day, to dominating When We Were Young Fest and touring across the US non-stop. These guys are living the pop punk dream, and they're just getting started. We also chat about some wild endorsements from A-listers like Shaquille O'Neal, Lil Nas X, Jenna Fischer, and Jeff Garlin – yes, really! The Paradox have already worked with legendary producers like Zack Odom & Kenneth Mount, John Feldmann, and Travis Barker – and they've got mentorship from pop punk royalty like Joel Madden and Simple Plan. This one's packed with stories, laughs and a look behind the scenes at one of the fastest-rising bands in the scene.
The cang catch-up on a bunch of TV and movies, discuss AI game creation, and ponder how Xbox can be a failure, yet Game Pass is ruining the industry. What kind of God would allow that?

In this conversation, Jenann explains why no system, not even a perfect computer, can predict its own future, and how this inherent unpredictability opens the door to real agency. We explore the paradox of identity, the limits of determinism, the role of memory in selfhood, and why your choices truly come from you.

Some episodes feel especially personal—and this is one of them.This week on Cracking Open, I'm joined by Thomas M. Jones: psychotherapist, author, musician, and founder of The Paradox Process—an innovative technique that helps people use their negative thoughts to shift perspective and transform their lives.And in this conversation, I don't just talk to Thomas about his method—I actually experience it in real time.Just one week before our interview, my husband lost his job. I was navigating a wave of fear, frustration, and uncertainty. Rather than hiding those emotions, I brought them into the conversation. And Thomas walked me through them—live on the show.But this episode isn't just about me. It's about you.And the patterns, stories, and pain we all carry.

The Green Elephant in the Room: Solutions To Restoring the Health of People and the Living Planett
SHOW NOTESFlight shame is dead. Despite a brief pause during COVID, global aviation emissions hit record highs in 2024 and are projected to double by 2040. What makes this different from other climate issues? The staggering inequality. The richest 1% of people are responsible for 50% of aviation emissions, while 80% of the world's population has never even been on an airplane. Think of it this way — every cross-country flight melts a grave-sized chunk of Arctic ice, yet we have half a million people in the air at any given moment worldwide.The technology promises are mostly fantasy. Sustainable aviation fuels account for less than 0.1% of current fuel use. Electric planes can barely carry four passengers 100 miles. Hydrogen requires massive amounts of renewable electricity we don't have. What that means is the aviation industry uses future tech promises to justify present-day expansion — like a tobacco company promising healthy cigarettes by 2050 while doubling production. The uncomfortable truth?Even with miraculous breakthroughs, emissions will still double because flight growth outpaces any efficiency gains.Here's what really gets disturbing — the psychology of justification reveals why we're failing at climate action. People rationalize flying with cultural exchange arguments, bogus carbon offsets, and business necessity claims. Consequently,we've created "last chance tourism" where people fly to Antarctica to see climate change before contributing more to climate change. The big lesson for us? If wealthy people won't give up vacation flights — literally the easiest climate action to take — what hope do we have for the harder stuff like decarbonizing agriculture or manufacturing?GOING JET-FREE: Alternatives to FlyingA CALL TO ACT: Comprehensive Database of Eco-SolutionsTrumping TrumpEpisode Webpage

EPISODE SUMMARY: What becomes visible when you shift the lens away from Beijing to how China's Belt and Road projects unfold on the ground? Seeing China's Belt and Road, edited by Edward Schatz and Rachel Silvey, answers this question by reorienting conversations on China's global infrastructure development to their “downstream” effects. Instead of analyzing the BRI through grand geopolitical narratives or a national strategic lens, the book draws on fieldwork across Asia, Africa, and Latin America to show how local actors—mayors, contractors, migrant workers, and residents—shape and contest projects in practice. Contributing authors challenge simplified portrayals of the BRI as either neocolonial domination or benevolent development, instead revealing its fragmented, improvised, and negotiated nature. Our conversation touches on themes including the visual politics of infrastructure, how power flows through projects, and the agency of local people in shaping global connectivity. We also look ahead to emerging frontiers of China's influence, including digital corridors and cleaner energy, offering a view of China's evolving global presence. GUEST BIOS: Dr. Edward Schatz is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Toronto. He is interested in identity politics, social transformations, social movements, anti-Americanism, and authoritarianism with a focus on the ex-USSR, particularly Central Asia. His publications include Slow Anti-Americanism (Stanford UP, 2021), Paradox of Power (co-edited with John Heathershaw, U. Pittsburgh Press, 2017), Political Ethnography (edited, U. Chicago Press, 2009), Modern Clan Politics (U. Washington Press, 2004), as well as articles in Comparative Politics, Slavic Review, International Political Science Review, Ethnic and Racial Studies, Nationalism and Ethnic Politics, and other academic journals. Current projects include a collaborative effort (with Rachel Silvey) to understand the downstream effects of China's Belt & Road Initiative, as well as a book about the rise of shamelessness in global politics. Dr. Rachel Silvey is Richard Charles Lee Director of the Asian Institute and Professor in the Department of Geography and Planning. She is a Faculty Affiliate in CDTS, WGSI, and the Ethnic, Immigration and Pluralism Studies Program. She received her Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Washington, Seattle, and a dual B.A. from the University of California at Santa Cruz in Environmental Studies and Southeast Asian Studies. Professor Silvey is best known for her research on women's labour and migration in Indonesia. She has published widely in the fields of migration studies, cultural and political geography, gender studies, and critical development. Her major funded research projects have focused on migration, gender, social networks, and economic development in Indonesia; immigration and employment among Southeast Asian-Americans; migration and marginalization in Bangladesh and Indonesia; and religion, rights and Indonesian migrant women workers in Saudi Arabia.LINKS TO RESOURCES Seeing China's Belt and Road: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/seeing-chinas-belt-and-road-9780197789261?cc=us&lang=en& Overview with contributing authors on Seeing China's Belt and Road: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULuHvAhUV_4 The Rise of the Infrastructure State How US–China Rivalry Shapes Politics and Place Worldwide: https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/the-rise-of-the-infrastructure-state Learn more about your ad choices.

The episode offers listeners practical insights into: •Maintaining mental resilience during challenging times •Understanding the Stockdale Paradox •Developing emotional control and personal responsibility Listeners will gain valuable leadership lessons about: •Distinguishing between what you can and cannot control •Maintaining dignity and strength under extreme pressure •The importance of mental fortitude in overcoming obstacles This episode is brought to you by The Simple Sales Pipeline® —the most efficient way to organize and value any construction sales rep's roster of customers and prospects in under 30 minutes once every 30 days. *** If you enjoyed this podcast, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

Louise Imogen Guiney is known for her lyrical, Old English-style poems that often recall the literary conventions of seventeenth-century English poetry. Informed by her religious faith, Guiney's works reflect her concern with the Catholic tradition in literature and often emphasize moral rectitude and heroic gallantry. Today Guiney is praised for her scholarship in both her poetry and in her numerous literary and historical studies.-bio via Poetry Foundation This is a public episode.
