“Lots of ambitious books announce themselves,” writes Lauren Christensen in The New York Times Book Review of podcast guest Betsy Lerner's debut novel Shred Sisters. “This one doesn't need to.” High praise for a first-time novelist, but that's not surprising considering Betsy's long and distinguished career as an editor and literary agent. A born storyteller (and, story-sharer), Betsy has helped to shape our literary landscape, as the guiding hand behind such cultural touchstones as Patti Smith's Just Kids and Elizabeth Wurtzel's Prozac Nation.  She's also earned her As Told To stripes as the co-author of The New York Times best-selling Visual Thinking, written in collaboration with Temple Grandin, in addition to writing several non-fiction books of her own, including the memoir The Bridge Ladies, and the writing guidebook The Forest for the Trees.   A recovering poet, Betsy received an MFA in poetry from Columbia University, where she was selected as one of PEN's Emerging Writers, before trading her pen for a red pencil and embarking on a heralded career as an editor.  With the publication of her first novel, longlisted prior to publication for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize, Betsy kick-starts an exciting new chapter in her writing life, offering a rich, bittersweet tale of sisterhood, mental health, love and loss, and reminding us that it's never too late to become the artist you were always meant to be.   Learn more about Betsy Lerner: Website TikTok Facebook Twitter Please support the sponsors who support our show: Gotham Ghostwriters/ASJA “Andy Awards” Guidelines Ritani Jewelers Chelsea Devantez's I Shouldn't Be Telling You This Daniel Paisner's Balloon Dog  Daniel Paisner's SHOW: The Making and Unmaking of a Network Television Pilot Unforgiving: Lessons from the Fall by Lindsey Jacobellis Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discount Libro.fm (ASTOLDTO) | 2 audiobooks for the price of 1 when you start your membership Film Freaks Forever! podcast, hosted by Mark Jordan Legan and Phoef Sutton Everyday Shakespeare podcast A Mighty Blaze podcast The Writer's Bone Podcast Network Misfits Market (WRITERSBONE) | $15 off your first order  Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discount Wizard Pins (WRITERSBONE) | 20% discount

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveChristine and Damir discuss two personal essays from New York magazine that went viral last week. The first deals with divorce, the second with getting scammed. A flabbergasted Damir can't believe they were published; he wonders if anyone outside New York would care to read them. Christine finds ironic wisdom buried in both essays. The conversation ends on a high note, with Christine explaining how one of the essays breaks new ground in the media monoculture. Required Reading:* Emily Gould, “The Lure of Divorce,” New York magazine.* Charlotte Cowls, “The Day I Put $50,000 in a Shoe Box and Handed It to a Stranger,” New York magazine. * Christine's three theories about the above essays.* Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation.* Kristen Roupenian, “Cat Person”.* Ross Douthat, The Decadent Society.

In this episode, Kyle interviews author of Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex and Death In a World That's Lost Its Mind; speaker; and Founder of the Flow Genome Project, which researches and trains on improved human performance. This episode – the last of the many recorded at Psychedelic Science 2023 – may ruffle some feathers, as Wheal is very outspoken and opinionated, focusing on what he spoke about at the conference: the pitfalls of the psychedelic movement. While his outlook is negative, he speaks with humor, and these shadow aspects are issues we need to be talking about: how the nature of capitalism and returning profits to shareholders affects the concept of set and setting; how easy it is to prescribe ketamine and the puppy mill clinics popping up everywhere; how innovators are racing to the bottom to get ahead; the designer drug epidemic likely leading us to a Prozac Nation 2.0; digital narcissism, Instagram “Shamans,” and the dangers of cults; chemists trying to take the experience out of the drug; the overuse of psychedelics creating super egos; and much more. While he believes the hype and excitement of the psychedelic renaissance is leading us towards a trough of dissolution and that people aren't turning their amazing experiences into net positives anywhere near enough, he believes that fewer people using psychedelics less often and more intensely – with initiatory practices, intentions, integration, and honest self-reflection – will help us all climb out of our egos and move towards a healthier society. There is hope, but we need to honestly look at all the shadow aspects in order to move towards it. Click here to head to the show notes page.

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss the importance of examining mental health as it relates to the church, as the pandemic has undoubtedly caused severe increases in depression, suicide and more. This is a topic where the church has typically been silent, leading to a great deal of private suffering. Now, more than ever, this needs to end. Episode Links There are some blogs written by Dr. White on the topic of mental health that you will find very helpful to read. The most recent blog is titled “Suicide and the Church,” addressing the fact that suicide has become the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. The digital revolution has added fuel to this fire, as we've become increasingly isolated online. You can read about this in a blog titled, “What the Online World Is Doing to Us.” As Dr. White said in this episode, the church cannot remain silent and depression is a topic that needs to be brought to light. You may find it helpful to check out a series delivered at Mecklenburg Community Church called “Fix Me.” The installments covered are: “A Prozac Nation,” “The 8th Deadly Sin” and “Extreme Makeover: Inside Edition.” You can also find an installment on mental health in the series “How to Be a New You in the New Year.” Finally, Alexis and Jim talked about the term “self care” that is continually thrown around, and what the Bible really has to say about this topic. You can listen to “CCP19: On Self Care” on the Church & Culture website HERE or watch it on YouTube HERE. For those of you who are new to Church & Culture, we'd love to invite you to subscribe (for free of course) to the twice-weekly Church & Culture blog and check out the Daily Headline News - a collection of headlines from around the globe each weekday.

This week, Gigi talks to Christina Ricci, our favourite actress who has been starring in hit movies and TV shows since she was nine. We learn how she dealt with life in a fishbowl as a teenage star, the impact that her role in Prozac Nation had on her psyche, and why boundary setting is a game changer. Gigi and Christina delve into psychedelic therapy, struggles with anxiety and food, their mutual fear of bureaucracy and the DMV, and how kindness is the underrated key to a lifelong relationship. Amen to that. Produced by Michael Lane Jingle by Rhys Tivey Follow Gillian on Instagram and Twitter: @gilliansagansky Follow Christina on Instagram: @riccigrams A Type7 podcast https://type7.com/.

In this episode, because we discuss the author of Prozac Nation, Elizabeth Wurtzel, we end up discussing mental health, clinical depression, and why the women of the third wave were so angry with the world.

Today we talk about the fun world of depression medication because we read Prozac Nation. As with any discussion of mental illness we get into the best ice skating movies of the early 2000s and the best horse movies (aka Racing Stripes). Is Reaganomics the reason everyone is depressed now? Idk but fuck Ronald Reagan. Let us know if you are team Noah or team Doctor Sterling or just can't choose. Also let us know if like Delaney your middle school education was focused on empathy or like Sydney and it was focused on the Holocaust. And most importantly read this book because mental health is important.Send us your book recommendations to bookcultpodcast@gmail.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bookcult/support

EDITOR'S NOTE | Duy Tin Disclaimer: Để cuộc trò chuyện giữ được sự chân thật và tự nhiên, tập podcast này sử dụng nhiều tiếng Anh và có thể khiến người nghe không thoải mái. Thính giả vui lòng cân nhắc trước khi nghe! Chào các bạn, Mình là Duy Tin và đây là ‘the finding audio'. Mình biết nhiều bạn đã rất mong chờ episode mới suốt hai tuần qua, bọn mình cũng đã rất cố gắng để hoàn thành và trở lại với mọi người lần này. Ngày hôm nay, chúng mình sẽ nói về Mental Health (Sức khoẻ tâm thần). Như mọi khi, đây sẽ là một cuộc nói chuyện rất chân thật, gần gũi, và rất nhiều sự dễ bị tổn thương giữa chị Ly và mình. Tuy nhiên, mình cần mọi người lưu ý rằng trong episode này, chúng mình sẽ nhắc tới một số trải nghiệm với rối loạn cảm xúc (bao gồm rối loạn lưỡng cực và rối loạn trầm cảm), những cơn hoảng loạn, sự cô đơn, tự tử và ý định tự tử theo một cách rất cá nhân, nhiều sự đồng cảm và thấu hiểu, với mong muốn mọi người sẽ cảm thấy bớt một mình hơn trên hành trình này, và trân trọng cuộc sống hơn nữa. Nhưng mình muốn mọi người biết rõ được những khía cạnh bọn mình chuẩn bị đề cập tới, bởi trong trường hợp các bạn đang cảm thấy thể trạng tâm thần, tinh thần, tâm lý của mình không khoẻ, vẫn đang quá mong manh và dễ bị kích động, thì có lẽ bạn sẽ chưa sẵn sàng để nghe cuộc trò chuyện này. Hãy dừng tập này lại ở đây và quay lại vào một thời điểm nào đó phù hợp hơn nhé.  Với những bạn đã sẵn sàng hơn thì một cách ngắn gọn, chúng mình sẽ cùng tìm hiểu tính lịch sử và định nghĩa của thuật ngữ “mental health”, cách nhìn nhận về vấn đề này trên thế giới nói chung và ở Việt Nam nói riêng những năm gần đây. Mình sẽ chia sẻ những nghiên cứu và góc nhìn về mental illness hay các chứng bệnh/rối loạn tâm thần phổ biến với hi vọng các bạn thính giả có thêm thông tin hữu ích dưới cả góc độ khoa học lẫn cá nhân về những trải nghiệm này. Sau cùng, chị Ly và mình cũng đã đi tìm một số nguyên nhân khiến cho việc nói về sức khoẻ tâm thần của chúng ta lại trở nên khó khăn đến thế, và khi bản thân cảm thấy không khoẻ như vậy thì cần phải làm gì, dù cho mình là người bệnh hay là người thân của những người bệnh ấy. Và tất nhiên rồi, như tất cả các lần chúng mình nói về những thất bại và sự dễ bị tổn thương, thì sẽ luôn đi kèm với những bài học học được từ đó để có thể yêu thương bản thân và cuộc sống mình nhiều hơn.  Tập hôm nay mình đặt phần teaser này lên đầu, không kèm theo nhạc nền như mọi khi bởi mình thực sự muốn mọi người hiểu và nhận thức được những điều chị Ly và mình sẽ trò chuyện sau đây. Còn nếu đây là lần đầu tiên bạn đến với ‘the finding audio', thì bọn mình đang ở những tập cuối cùng của season 1 được phát hành vào 6AM thứ 4 hàng tuần trên Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, cùng với những tương tác vụn vặt mỗi ngày trên Instagram hay Facebook nhé.

Forfatteren av Prozac Nation døde i går. Elisabeth Wurzels debutroman fra 1994 ble en sensasjon, og banet kanskje veien for den åpenheten vi nå ser av psykiske lidelser hos unge i dag.

Perhaps Steelers Nation should be known as Prozac Nation, given its collective mood swings from booking Super Bowl plans to going on suicide watch. (Kidding, of course!)

This week, we’re exploring the question behind one of the most well-known passages in the Sermon on the Mount: why do you worry? Sermon by Corey Widmer. Sources: -John Ortberg, “Good News for Worriers,” sermon preached at Menlo Church, 2.18.18. - “Prozac Nation is Now the United States of Xanax,” NYTimes, 6.10.17 - Tim Suttle, “Do Not Worry,” sermon preached at Redemption Church, 3.16.14 - Cal Newport, “Digital Minimalism,” (Portfolio, 2019). - Matthew Croasman, “Let Me Ask You A Question,” (Upper Room, 2018).

A fascinating interview with Jamie Wheal, the best-selling author of Stealing Fire.Twenty first century men and women – we’re not faring so well. We are tired, wired, stressed. Our cortisol levels veer between fight or flight, our heartbeats are erratic, and this is our normal. This interview with the very brilliant Jamie Wheal explores how to cherry pick ancient and modern "technologies" -- meditation, neurobiology, breathwork, microdoses of psychedelics, marathon running – to give us a better chance, individually and as a culture, to solve the cataclysmic problems facing the world.Wheal has spent years studying the strange bedfellows of religious ecstatics, high performance athletes, meditators, yogis and others to draw a line between their practices and their altered states. Of particular interest to me are the thousands (hundreds of thousands) of people who are currently microdosing with LSD and psilocybin. Microdosing as a concept is not new. Early experiments led scientists in the 1960s to understand that sub-perceptual doses affects the serotonin system, which regulates depression, happiness and mood (notice the similarities between that and cannabinoids and the endocannabinoid system). That research got shut down in anti-drug hysteria of 1968. Instead, what we ended up with was Prozac Nation, blunt pharmacological instruments that never enabled users to make meaningful changes or really expand their cognitive functioning. The current revitalization of low dosed psychedelics is a more refined and more effective way of boosting lateral ways of thinking. Entire engineering teams at top Silicon Valley companies are trying it. “Maybe the 60s got it really wrong,” Wheal says in this interview. “Rather than super-industrial size doses LSD that blow your mind it seems that tiny doses combined with other technologies can give us access to an enhanced form of cognition that feels useful today. Being balanced -- that’s the optimal high-performance state. Brain wave studies have shown that the world’s top athletes are distinguished by how quickly they can get back to center and adapt to the next task.”If you’re interested exploring a way of “calibrating peak experiences into a practice of accelerated development” for yourself, sign up for Wheal’s Rocky Mountain Flow workshop taking place August 17-19 2018, in Boulder, Colorado. Alternatively, read Stealing Fire, check out the Flow Genome Facebook community or listen to this podcast and share it widely. Hurry. We need higher consciousness now.

We certainly live in uncertain times. A recent New York Times article was entitled “The Prozac Nation is Now The United States of Xanax,” and discusses one person who said she has suffered from severe anxiety since she was four years old. It's amazing what we are facing today, and the lack of skills to cope with it.When they say this generation of youth may be the first to not outlive their parents, between that and rampant obesity, you could certainly see why. We're stressing ourselves to death.Giovanni Dienstmann is going to teach us about meditation in this podcast. He puts his money where his mouth is because his “Miracle  Morning” routine includes 30 minutes of yoga, then two full hours of meditation! Giovanni Dienstmann tells us how he does it, plus talks about the importance of the subconscious mind, and an interesting analysis of spirituality around the world today, particularly with the Millennial generation.This podcast is loaded with great information on a very important and timely topic.Enjoy the Journey,ThomasVisit Giovanni's website here:Master Your Mind: An In-depth 5-Week Meditation CourseThe post Podcast 109 – Meditation with Giovanni Dienstmann appeared first on Subconscious Mind Mastery.

Elizabeth Wurtzel, author of the seminal memoir book Prozac Nation, revisits the process of writing the book. And on the twentieth anniversary of its publication, she explores the relationship between writing and the need to pay the bills. Speaking in front of an audience at McNally Jackson Books in New York City, Elizabeth argues that people have lost their minds trying to write great literature. Instead, she says, "If your whole thing is 'I can't starve', you'd be stunned with what you come up with. You'll be thinking of what you need, not what you want. You'll definitely come up with the next right thing." The host is Amanda Stern. Producer: Giles Edwards.

Elizabeth Wurtzel is the author of four books, including Prozac Nation. "It's not that hard to be a lawyer. Any fool can be a lawyer. It's really hard to be a writer. You have to be born with incredible amounts of talent. Then you have to work hard. Then you have to be able to handle tons of rejection and not mind it and just keep pushing away at it. You have to show up at people's doors. You can't just e-mail and text message people. You have to bang their doors down. You have to be interesting. You have to be fucking phenomenal to get a book published and then sell the book. When people think their writing career is not working out, it's not working out because it's so damn hard. It's not harder now than it was 20 years ago. It's just as hard. It was always hard." Thanks to TinyLetter and EA SPORTS FIFA 14 for sponsoring this week's episode.

Andrea Seigel is the guest. She is the author of three novels: Like the Red Panda, To Feel Stuff, and The Kid Table. She's also an accomplished screenwriter. Chuck Klosterman says "If Helen Fielding had been born in 1979 and become a hyper-precocious Goth kid whose favorite book was Prozac Nation, she probably would have ended up writing exactly like Andrea Seigel.” And Bret Easton Ellis says "Andrea Seigel’s confidence— her intelligence and verve— lets her take risks that sweep the reader along.” Monologue topics: capturing the cultural moment, chasing clicks, whorishness, the Super Bowl, grief essays, trending, feeling sickened.

The Happy Ending Music and Reading series has formed a partnership with the arts colony Yaddo located in Saratoga Springs, New York, to present programs featuring writers who have been Yaddo fellows. On December 7th, curator Amanda Stern welcomed three Yaddo alums at the series’ performance home, Joe’s Pub, for a program entitled “Reality and Scandal.”  Two of the authors, Helen Schulman and Jesse Browner, read from works featuring teenage boys in emotional, sexual and social turmoil — Schulman’s “This Beautiful Life" and Browner’s “Everything Happens Today.” This has been fruitful territory ever since J.D. Salinger’s Holden Caufield made such a hash of his prep school career 60 years ago. The third writer, Walter Kirn, went engagingly off course with excerpts from his New York Magazine-approved (as in the weekly “Approval Ratings”) Bible blog. The writer inherited a well-worn study edition of the “King James Bible” from his mother, and is offering up hilariously transgressive interpretations of the narratives (example: Adam and Eve’s expulsion from Eden is about illicit drug use.)  Stern requires all her writers to “take a risk on stage,” and Kirn was eccentric here, too, inviting author Elizabeth Wurtzel, whose memoir "Prozac Nation" he savaged in a 1994 review, to come up to the stage to enact her revenge. (She didn’t.) Musical guest Mark Eitzel was the perfect foil to the authors, offering up a trio of mordant songs about marginal and desperate characters. (You’ll hear an homage to a male stripper in the excerpt above).  Stern’s requirement for musical guests is that they play a cover song and try to get the audience to sing along. There was a kind of perverse pleasure, after an evening crowded with angst and tales of sexual misconduct, to hear Eitzel bring down the house (and carry every one of us with him) with that preposterously hopeful standard, “On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.” Bon Mots: Helen Schulman, author of “This Beautiful Life,” on the burden of allure: “’You are just an idiot boy,’ said Audrey…She slung that cool bag over her shoulder and she started walking. She started walking away from Jake and all the idiot boys, walking away from the prison of her youth and beauty and into the hard-fought-for loneliness of her future.” Jesse Browner, author of “Everything Happens Today," on coming of age: "If he were ever to be a serious writer, Wes recognized, he would have to learn to embrace solitude and silence.” Novelist, critic and essay writer Walter Kirn on Genesis: "God basically made a huge mistake in creating man, and spends the first part of Genesis trying to correct himself."

In shamanic cultures mental illness is a community illness that is caused when the community’s many shadow projections overwhelm the collective benevolent intent. When we don’t withdraw our projections, we wear down the boundaries of the most sensitive, including children. The sensitives become vulnerable to the intrusion and influence of malevolent energies, wandering dead, and the unacknowledged secrets, betrayals, and transgressions of the community. Traditionally, the shaman diagnoses the community’s imbalance whether with the local land spirits, ancestors, the spirit world in general or the morals and ethics of good relationship with each other. The healing is then communal, requiring everyone’s participation, restoring balance and right relationship, and freeing the individual from the burden of acting out the community’s illness. This week we explore mental illness, old and new causes, and shamanism as the path forward to sanity and well-being even for our “Prozac Nation.”

So says Elizabeth Wurtzel, speaking about her abandoned fantasy of solving all the problems in the Middle East. What's more, Hillary Clinton is "an evil genius" and a "feminist subversive." The author of the mega-best-seller Prozac Nation (as well as Bitch and More, Now, Again) is about to graduate from Yale Law School. She has been a New Haven resident for the past four years, a fact that The New York Times just picked up on recently. (Read its article here). Castaway, New Haven Independent's podcast interview series, caught up with her in her downtown apartment, where she lives with her pooch Augusta and a whole mess of books and CDs. Among the topics discussed: Hillary or Obama? Whither feminism? Why law school? Will she write more memoirs? And what are her plans for the future? Click on the play arrow to listen.
