With conspiracy theories, fake news, and anti-science rhetoric everywhere, we are living in an age of post-truth. In episode 137 of Overthink, Ellie and David discuss the meaning of truth in our contemporary political and social landscape and how post-truth has increased in the recent years. How do phenomena like opinion overload, news fatigue, and information overload contribute to the spread of post truth? And are we really “post” truth, or do we simply live in an age of “many” truths? Ellie and David explore different conceptions of truth, the differences between misinformation and disinformation, and between lying and bullshitting. And what's the connection between post-truth and postmodernism? Have so-called “pomo professors” contributed to the rise of political dishonesty and deception? In the bonus, your hosts talk about Michael Hannon's article “The Politics of Post-Truth” and consider whether “post-truth” is even the right word for the crisis we're facing.Works Discussed: Max Black, “The Prevalence of Humbug”Harry Frankfurt, “On Bullshit”Ralph Keyes, The Post-Truth Era Jean-François Lyotard, The Postmodern ConditionLee McIntyre, Post-Truth David M.

Anxiety and women have gone hand in hand for many years. And the prevalence has never been higher. Women and anxiety are often used in the same sentence. But most don't recognize the root of anxiety, nor the influence it has on day-to-day life, especially as mothers and women in leadership roles. What is anxiety? Anxiety is an abnormal sense of apprehension and fear that is often marked by physical signs and symptoms. When someone is anxious, they doubt that they will be able to cope with a situation or person. Doubt often leads to overreacting and emotional chaos. Overreacting disrupts stability within the family and influences the emotional state of others. Frequently, anxiety creates a vicious cycle.  Prevalence of anxiety Forty-two point five million Americans claim to suffer from anxiety. The prevalence is higher in women than in men. The statistics are staggering. Breakdown of the relationships between women and anxiety I see three types of women in my coaching practice.

In this episode, Josh unpacks the four layers of anxiety—psychological, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral—highlighting why avoidance is the key feature that transforms ordinary worry into disorder. He explains why he continues to treat OCD and PTSD as anxiety conditions despite their DSM-5 reclassification, and he draws important distinctions between worries versus worrying and thoughts versus thinking. The discussion explores health anxiety, illness anxiety, and the impact of modern contributors such as wearables, social media, and the COVID era, while weaving in real-world case studies and Josh's structured assessment approach. Josh also breaks down evidence-based treatments, from exposure therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), along with the role of medication, lifestyle factors, and how shifting from avoidance to committed action can build long-term resilience.

In this episode, Guy talked with  Dr. Bruce Greyson, a retired psychiatrist and an author. He discussed the transformative effects of near-death experiences (NDEs). He explained how NDEs profoundly change people's lives, making them more compassionate and less materialistic. Dr. Greyson shared compelling stories, including that of a Marine whose NDE made him unable to continue his military duties. He highlighted the growing recognition of NDEs in the medical community and the need for further research. The episode also delved into Dr. Greyson's personal journey, the scientific challenges in studying NDEs, and the universal message of interconnectedness and compassion. About Bruce: Dr. Bruce Greyson is the Chester Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia.  He was previously on the medical faculty at the University of Michigan and the University of Connecticut, where he was Clinical Chief of Psychiatry. Dr. Greyson has consulted with the National Institutes of Health and addressed symposia on consciousness at the United Nations and at the Dalai Lama's compound in Dharamsala, India. Dr. Greyson's interest in near-death experiences began just a few months after graduating from medical school, when he treated an unconscious patient in the emergency room who stunned him the next morning with an account of leaving her body. That event challenged his beliefs about the mind and the brain, and ultimately led him on a journey to study near-death experiences scientifically, leading to more than a hundred publications in medical journals.  He co-founded the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), an organization to support and promote research into these experiences, and for 27 years edited the Journal of Near-Death Studies, the only scholarly journal dedicated to near-death research. Through his research, he has discovered common and universal themes in near-death experiences that go beyond neurophysiological or cultural interpretations, as well as patterns of consistent aftereffects on individuals' attitudes, beliefs, values, and personalities.

We did it! We've arrived at the final episode of Season 1. This episode picks up where episode 6 left off, by diving even deeper into the question: what's the relationship between empathy and morality?As always, you can find a (not Substack-generated) transcript of the episode, as well as a music-free remix, here.“Deliberative Empathy”In our last episode, we met Ryan.Ryan is a minister who has devoted his life to serving others. Yet, at one point, a psychologist told him he had “no empathy.”Surprisingly, Ryan could sort of see their point. He knew he experienced empathy differently than most people. He was even a little skeptical of whether empathy deserves the pedestal we often put it on.But hold on—even if empathy isn't perfect, couldn't it still be really important?In this episode, we explore a broader, richer view of empathy. Maybe empathy isn't a magic spark you either have or lack (which can be detected by a perfectly tuned psychometric test). Maybe empathy is more like a set of muscles we can exercise. According to this view, empathy is not merely a feeling, but a complex set of skills. These skills can look different from person to person, and can be learned, practiced, and strengthened over time.To help us unpack all this, we spoke with the philosopher Heidi Maibom, who makes the case that empathy is far more than an emotional reflex. Instead, Heidi argues that empathy is a deliberate practice that plays a crucial role in living a moral life.Topics Discussed* Recap! (00:24)* Why we care about (and try to measure) empathy: we often assume that having empathy is necessary for being a good person. (01:29) * The original (and very dangerous) myth that autistic people don't have empathy, and its relationship to the “ToM-deficit” view of autism. (01:52)* A new myth: autistic have empathy and have a ToM deficit—which means that autistic people are like the mirror image of psychopaths. But this new myth comes with problems of its own. (03:06)* There are so many different types of empathy! But are these long lists of different types of empathy useful? How are all these different types of empathy related? (06:32)* An alternative way of thinking about empathy: it's a four-step process (Fletcher-Watson and Bird, 2020) . The third step is the most important—and autistic people tend to be really good at that third step. (07:37)* But wait—maybe we need to further complicate how we think about empathy. (12:16)* Meet Heidi! (14:04)* Heidi's personal story illustrating the complexity of the empathy process. (14:56)* Heidi's view of empathy: it's a set of skills that allows us to navigate interpersonal negotiations. (17:40)* It's totally possible that autistic people engage in this process differently—but that doesn't entail any sort of “empathy deficit.” (18:17)* We should think about empathy developmentally. (20:27)* Recall: some people are pretty skeptical of empathy's importance. (22:23)* But in spite of these criticisms, Heidi maintains that empathy is really important. (24:33)* Heidi suggests some ways to “do” empathy better. (26:56)* Heidi thinks empathy is important for living a good, moral life, because morality isn't just a simple set of rules. (28:49)* Empathy is also helpful for reflecting on your own actions (hat-tip to Sartre). (32:02)* Plus, empathy is useful for recognizing the full value of other people. (33:06) * Heidi's response to the criticism that empathy is biased. (33:52)* The complexity of the empathy process opens up many different ways of “doing” empathy. (37:58)* We can all deliberately practice flexing our empathy muscles. Could this help non-autistic people empathize with autistic people?

A new study from Jean Hailes Women Health has found that one in three Australian women are living with migraines, in this edition of The Conversation Hour we discuss just how debilitating the neurological condition can be and why there needs to be greater awareness of the impact it can have on women's lives.Also in this edition, why some parents are considering banning sleep overs, police recruitment study plus why academics are turning to pop icons to understand the culture.

Cerebral microbleeds are a finding on MRI that are usually asymptomatic. There are two main aetiological pathways, one occurring as a result of uncontrolled hypertension and the other from the accumulation of amyloid-beta peptide. The link between cerebral amyloid angiopathy and Alzheimer's Disease is not understood and even the impact that cerebral microbleeds more generally have on cognition. For the study discussed today, clients of an Australian memory clinic were retrospectively assessed for prevalence of cerebral microbleeds and how this correlates to performance on cognitive tests and formal diagnosis categories. Prevalence of multiple cerebral microbleeds was associated with poorer cognitive performance and more severe diagnoses. And there are suggestions of a shared instigator between Alzheimer's Disease cerebral amyloid angiopathy. But novel anti-amyloid therapies can also cause increased bleeding risk, meaning that multiple microbleeds are a contraindication for these drugs. We hear how clinicians in the memory clinic balance therapeutic outcomes and potential risks.  Guest Associate Professor Paul Yates FRACP PhD (Austin Health; University of Melbourne) Co-HostDr Duncan Austin FRACP PhD (Alfred Health; Cabrini Health)ProductionProduced by Dr Duncan Austin and Mic Cavazzini.

Today I sit down with Willoughby Britton and Jared Lindahl, the interdisciplinary team from Brown University that is responsible for the “Varieties of Contemplative Experience” study on the challenges and adverse effects of meditation. We talk about the design, findings, and outcomes of the study, and how it opened up a new field of interdisciplinary investigation. Along the way we ask: if someone suffers harm from practicing meditation, whose fault is it? What is the ultimate cause?

Today on the Golden Age of Orthodontics, we'll explore the controversial topic of early orthodontic treatment. Dr. Daniel Grob, a board-certified orthodontist with over 40 years of experience, discusses the benefits and challenges of early intervention. He emphasizes the importance of developing facial width and addressing oral habits in young patients.Dr. Grob challenges traditional views on early treatment, arguing that cone beam X-rays have changed how orthodontists assess patients. He focuses on creating width for future development rather than just straightening teeth. Dr. Grob aims to complete phase one treatment in 15 months or less and phase two in 18 months or less.The discussion covers the prevalence of oral habits like mouth breathing and nail biting in young patients seeking early treatment. Dr. Grob shares insights on educating parents and general dentists about the signs of maxillary deficiency and the benefits of early intervention.The episode also addresses the marketing aspects of promoting early orthodontic treatment. Dr. Grob emphasizes the importance of building relationships with pediatric dentists and other specialists for referrals. The hosts discuss strategies for reaching parents directly through educational advertising. The conversation concludes with clinical advice for younger practitioners considering early treatment.

Dr. Grob's focus is on developing facial width and balance, which can lead to better long-term outcomes. Using cone beam imaging has revolutionized how he approaches early treatment by allowing him to assess the transverse dimension more accurately.Oral habits play a significant role in malocclusions. Nearly half of the patients Dr. Grob sees for early treatment have some type of habit like mouth breathing or nail biting that impacts their dental development. Identifying and addressing these habits is crucial for successful early intervention.Partnering with pediatric dentists and educating parents about the benefits of early treatment has been key to Dr. Grob's practice's success. By starting treatment between ages 6-9 when appropriate, we can often help avoid more complex interventions later on and simplify the overall orthodontic process for many patients.RESOURCE LINKSPeople + Practice - Website Leon - EmailAmy - EmailPeople + Practice - EmailThe Pediatric Orthodontist Facebook GroupKEYWORDS: orthodontics, golden age of orthodontics, early orthodontic treatment, pediatric orthodontics, transverse dimension, oral habits, cone beam x-rays, phase one treatment, facial balance, orthodontic practice growth, non-extraction orthodontics, orthodontic marketing, pediatric...

Considering how often we utilize technology, we don't spend as nearly as much time as we should protecting ourselves against the inherent vulnerabilities and bad actors who would exploit the very tools designed to improve our lives. The fact of the matter is, cybersecurity has become a huge issue (only to become more relevant as technology advances). My guest today, Dr. Eric Cole, has spent decades learning, understanding, and teaching people how to protect themselves and their loved ones from cyber-threats. Today, we talk about the apps that are more dangerous than others, how best to keep your children safe from online predators, what he calls, cyber-hygiene, why passwords are dead and what to do about it, and why social media will never fully protect children.

What does it actually look like to go through a mold remediation—start to finish? In this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael sits down with Kathleen LeGrys, a HomeCleanse client, to share her firsthand experience navigating chronic illness, discovering hidden mold in her home, and going through the full inspection and remediation process with HomeCleanse.After struggling for years with Lyme, Bartonella, and Myasthenia Gravis, Kathleen was still not improving as expected. Eventually, high mycotoxin levels led her functional medicine doctor to suspect mold exposure—and that kicked off a journey most people never expect to take.Kathleen walks us through:- The early overwhelm of discovering mold and deciding where to start- Why she chose to remediate her home in phases (and how she budgeted for it)- What she did before remediation to reduce exposure (including air purifiers and open windows)- How her lab markers improved just from lowering dust and airborne toxins- What she replaced in her home—and how she tested items like bedding and furniture to decide what to toss- The emotional, physical, and financial toll of the process—and why she has zero regretsIf you've ever felt overwhelmed by mold, toxins, or chronic symptoms—this is a must-listen success story.00:00 Introduction to Mold and Health Challenges02:50 Kathleen's Journey with Mold and Health06:00 Testing for Mold: Dust Tests vs. Mold Dogs09:11 Understanding Mycotoxins and Health Correlation11:45 The Cost of Mold Inspection and Remediation14:50 Mental Challenges in Addressing Mold Issues17:54 The Remediation Process: Logistics and Challenges21:08 Post-Remediation: Rebuilding and Testing23:58 Living with Mold: Interim Solutions27:06 The Importance of Replacing Contaminated Items30:00 Addressing Misconceptions About Mold33:56 Historical Perspectives on Mold Remediation35:51 Insurance Challenges and Mold Coverage37:32 Societal Perceptions of Mold and Health39:58 Understanding Mold Exposure and Symptoms46:12 The Prevalence of Mold in Homes49:57 Personal Experiences with Mold Remediation54:46 Advice for Those Facing Mold Issues

Psychiatrist Carolyn Rodriguez studies hoarding disorder and says that all of us have attachments to our possessions. But for many, these attachments can disrupt daily life and even pose health risks. For those with loved ones who struggle with hoarding disorder, she says treatments exist, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Lately, she's been studying how virtual reality can augment CBT through virtual discarding practice and ways brain stimulation may improve symptoms. But, Rodriguez says, never underestimate the value of empathy for those in need of help, as she tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Having identified 300 companies in 15 different categories operating in the space, he joins CJ to share takeaways from his market map of the evolving CFO software stack. They dig into what's driving disruption, how new players are challenging legacy systems, and what it takes for founders to stand out. The conversation spans everything from the staying power of spreadsheets to the debate between building for verticals versus horizontals, the future of FP&A, and how AI agents might reshape the stack. Sean delves into the dynamics of partnerships, outlining five key rules for successful collaborations. Additionally, he talks about his Failure Museum which showcases a collection of items representing failed products and companies, and breaks down what he has identified as the six forces of failure.—LINKS:Sean Jacobsohn on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanjacobsohnNorwest: https://www.nvp.comMarket Map: Reimagining the CFO Software Stack: https://www.nvp.com/blog/market-map-reimagining-cfo-software-stackFailure Museum: https://failure.museum/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: http://mostlymetrics.comRELATED EPISODES:CFO of FloQast on Why Finance Teams are Data Curators: The $7 Million Wake-Up Call: Mastering Rebates for Profitability with Enable's Nick Rose: G2 CFO Chad Gold on Building A Durable Career as a Venture Backed Exec: —TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:04) Sponsor – Rippling Spend | Pulley | Navan(06:08) The Fragmentation of the CFO Tool Ecosystem(07:24) Advice for Founders on Deep Domain Expertise(10:39) Enable: Disrupting an Existing Solution Versus Creating a New Category(12:32) The Prevalence of Spreadsheets in the Current Ecosystem(13:39) Solutions Built for Verticals Versus Horizontals(16:24) Sponsor – NetSuite | Planful | Tabs(20:22) Vertical Software and the Move to the Cloud(22:17) The Likelihood of Consolidation by Incumbents in the Space(24:53) Developments in the FP&A Space(26:55) The Future of AI Agents in Finance(28:05) The Five Key Rules of Partnerships: Partner Fit(29:17) Entering New Markets(30:16) Enablement: The Importance of Training(32:28) Reciprocation(33:49) How Often the Little Guy Approaches the Big Guy in Partnerships(34:51) M&A in Partnerships(37:01) The Best Way To Form a Partnership(37:45) The Inspiration Behind the Failure Museum(39:14) The Six Forces of Failure(40:38) Falling out of Product-Market Fit(41:25 Examples of Failures From the Failure Museum(44:58) How the Failure Museum Informs Sean's Work at Norwest(46:12) The Magic of Pivoting—SPONSORS:Rippling Spend is a spend management software that gives you complete visibility and automated policy controls across every type of spend, saving you time and money.

Why Are We Paying More for Worse Health? | ShiftShapersIn this episode of ShiftShapers, host David A. Saltzman welcomes Helene M. Epstein—writer, speaker, and patient advocate behind the Substack series Patient No More. Helene dives deep into America's epidemic of medical errors, misdiagnoses, and system failures. She breaks down why even the most advanced technology and training haven't improved patient safety, how profit-driven healthcare puts patients at risk, and—most importantly—what individuals can do to protect themselves and their families. From shocking statistics about misdiagnosis to the hidden realities of rural hospital closures, Helene provides practical advice and hope for patients who are ready to become their own advocates.

Zinc is an essential micronutrient that often flies under the radar, despite being vital for hundreds of enzymes and transcription factors involved in immunity, antioxidant defense, and DNA repair. A surprisingly large segment of the population may not get enough – an estimated 10% of U.S. individuals consume less than half the recommended zinc intake, putting them at risk of deficiency. In this episode, Prof. Emily Ho discusses how even mild zinc insufficiency can impair immune function, promote chronic inflammation, and accelerate aspects of aging. She delves into the concept of “inflammaging” – the chronic, low-grade inflammation that develops with age – and explains how inadequate zinc status can aggravate this process. The conversation also highlights emerging research on zinc's role in DNA integrity and how restoring zinc levels can reverse certain damage, underscoring zinc's broader significance in healthy aging and disease prevention. Overall, this episode provides a deep scientific look at why maintaining adequate zinc status is crucial for immune resilience and mitigating age-related inflammatory and oxidative damage. About the Guest Emily Ho, PhD is the Director of the Linus Pauling Institute and professor in the College of Health at Oregon State University. Her research focuses on understanding the mechanisms by which nutrient status and healthy foods affect the initiation and/or progression of chronic diseases such as cancer. Her work has helped drive dietary requirements and recommendations for micronutrients such as zinc for communities with susceptibility to poor nutrition.

Why do so many successful leaders struggle with the feeling of "not being enough"? And how can leaders shift away from a scarcity mindset?In episode 243 of At The Table, Patrick Lencioni and Cody Thompson explore the pervasive feeling of inadequacy among leaders. They discuss how a "not enough" mindset can drive individuals to seek validation through constant achievement. The conversation emphasizes the importance of vulnerability, self-awareness, and shifting from a fear-based to a joy-based approach to life and work.Topics explored in this episode: (0:49) The Prevalence of "I'm Not Enough"* Many leaders share a common feeling of inadequacy, often tracing it back to their youth. * This feeling can create a cycle of constantly striving to prove yourself, hindering your ability to find satisfaction in accomplishments. (5:04) The Impact of Vulnerability* Sharing your feelings of inadequacy with others can normalize these experiences, encouraging them to acknowledge their own struggles and seek support. (9:07) The Scarcity Mindset* Believing "I'm not enough" can lead to a scarcity mindset, affecting your perceptions of time, success, and resources. (14:23) The Illusion of Control* The pursuit of control over outcomes can lead to anxiety and prevent you from embracing the present moment. (18:36) Finding Peace in the Journey* Reframing your perspective can help you foster a sense of peace. * Embracing the journey and finding joy in the process can lead to greater fulfillment than solely focusing on the result.This episode of At The Table with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: https://www.tablegroup.com.
