Send us a textWhat would you tell your younger self? That question sparked a fascinating exploration of life lessons, hard-won wisdom, and the unexpected gifts that come with age and experience.The magical thing about turning 40 isn't just the physical changes – it's the powerful ability to look back across two decades of adulthood and recognize how much knowledge you've gained. Like having coffee with your 20-year-old self, this reflective vantage point reveals truths that could have changed everything.Financial literacy tops the list of crucial knowledge many wish they'd gained earlier. Understanding how to make your money work for you, managing student debt, and avoiding the trap of spending every dollar you earn creates freedom that compounds over time. Equally important is developing a value-driven plan for life – not just career goals, but clarity about what truly matters to you. When your choices align with your core values, fulfillment follows naturally.Perhaps the most liberating realization? Nobody is paying as much attention to your choices as you think they are. The freedom to fail, change direction, and reimagine your path without fear of judgment opens worlds of possibility. Your education and experience equip you with transferable skills that can flourish in countless contexts – you're not locked into any single trajectory.Creating boundaries, developing a meditation practice, freeing yourself from body image obsessions, and simply taking the trip when your gut tells you to – these lessons emerge repeatedly as game-changers. The most painful regrets center not on what we did, but what we didn't do when we felt that internal pull.Whether you're approaching 40, looking back from beyond it, or still navigating your 20s, this conversation offers perspective that might just change how you view the journey ahead. What would you tell your younger self over coffee? And perhaps more importantly – what might your future self wish you understood right now?Please be sure to checkout our website for previous episodes, our psych-approved resource page, and connect with us on social media!

It's a very mysterious world. Physicists can't figure out what matter is, nor do they know what consciousness is. Psychologists have different ideas about the brain; sociologists, different theories about how people interact; and so on and so forth. It's very, very complicated. And if you don't want to strain your brain, like people have done over many millennia, then just chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. So in one sentence, what would you tell somebody who didn't was a an acquaintance of yours, maybe a classmate or a relative who doesn't know anything about chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa in one sentence, what would you tell them was your experience this morning? ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose
Psychologists and philosophers have debated what makes a good life, traditionally focusing on the search for happiness and meaning. Recently, though, the quest for another sensation has entered the conversation: fulfillment. Shigehiro Oishi, Marshall Field IV Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss his concept of “psychological richness,” where curiosity and spontaneity provide the stimulation we need, and how this outlook can carry us even through the hardest patches of our lives. His book is “Life in Three Dimensions: How Curiosity, Exploration, and Experience Make a Fuller, Better Life.”This episode, originally aired, February 4th, 2025.

Hey there, welcome back to Authentically ADHD! I'm so glad you pressed play on this episode today, because its on a topic that when I learned it, i found out it was the work i never knew i was missing and this skill has given me so much more access to my authentic self. Today, we're diving into a big, messy, important topic: self-trust – or as I like to call it, the tangled web of self-trust. Now, if you just chuckled nervously or sighed "ugh, self-trust...", you're in the right place. Stick around for the next 25 minutes, and we'll untangle this web together with a healthy dose of honesty, humor, and hope.Host (conversational): So, self-trust. Raise your hand if you've ever said something like, "I can't trust myself to do anything right!" (I'm raising mine high, by the way). Maybe you promised yourself you'd start that project well before the deadline, only to find yourself pulling an all-nighter again. Or you swore you'd not forget your friend's birthday this time, and then... whoops, you did – again. If any of this rings a bell, you are so not alone. In fact, one ADHD coach bluntly observed: "This is the truth about ADHD and self-trust: it doesn't exist. ADHD adults don't trust themselves at all. Our self-concept begins to erode pretty early in life". Ouch, right? That sounds harsh, but for many of us it feels true. Our confidence in ourselves got pretty banged up over the years.Host (relatable anecdote): I want to start with a little story here. Picture late-diagnosed me a few years back, before I knew I had ADHD. Every morning I'd pep-talk myself: "Today, I'm gonna get everything on my to-do list done. I got this." And every evening I'd go to bed thinking, "I screwed it up again. What is wrong with me?" I remember once triple-booking my Saturday because Past Me didn't trust Future Me to actually remember my plans – I figured at least one of those events I'd flake on, so better to have backups!

Send us a textHave you ever noticed how some friendships slip away without drama or fallout? That's exactly what we're diving into this week—those connections that gradually fade into oblivion without any clear ending.As we mature, many of us become more selective about where we direct our relational energy, prioritizing reciprocal connections over obligatory ones. There's profound freedom in recognizing that some friendships serve important purposes for specific periods without lasting forever. "Peace to all those who have faded into oblivion" captures the healthy perspective many reach—appreciating what each relationship meant during its season without guilt about its natural evolution.What friendships have faded in your life?

JUN. 10, 2025The five crowns (3)."There is laid up for me the crown of righteousness." 2Ti 4:8 NKJVThe third crown mentioned in Scripture is the crown of righteousness. Paul writes: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord...will give to me on that Day, and... also to all who have loved His appearing" (vv. 7-8 NKJV). A pastor amplifies this: "The book of 2 Timothy represents the last known writing of the apostle Paul, and we have reason to believe he was beheaded shortly after writing these words. But rather than dreading death, he was looking forward to the Second Coming. He was...content with his record of service for the Master. Paul's use of the athletic metaphor here is especially descriptive of the life of the believer because it describes struggle, endurance, discipline, and final victory. The Crown of Righteousness is reserved for those who have a longing for the Lord Jesus and who watch for Jesus to come back." Writing to Titus, Paul speaks of "looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13 NKJV). The pastor continues: "Psychologists tell us that anticipation...is an emotion with marvelous healing powers. People who are snowbound sustain their spirits by anticipating the longer days of spring and summer. Couples…separated by military deployment stay sane by anticipating their reunion…Brides and grooms are eager for their wedding day." As a Christian, your best days are ahead of you, and you can anticipate all the glories of heaven and eternity. It should motivate you to be faithful to Jesus as you wait for His return.The five crowns The crown of righteousnessShare This DevotionalSend us a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!
Send us a textEver wondered how to motivate a seemingly unmotivated child? Dr. Susan Thomas, accomplished school psychologist and parent, tackles this universal parenting challenge with refreshing honesty and practical wisdom. Drawing from decades of professional experience and personal parenting trials, she reveals that motivation isn't about finding the perfect reward—it's about discovering what genuinely resonates with your unique child. The conversation takes a powerful turn as Dr. Thomas introduces her "AAA" method for handling peer mistreatment (gotta listen to hear it, hehe), and technology emerges as a central theme throughout the discussion, with Dr. Thomas identifying excessive screen time as one of the most significant challenges facing today's children. The episode concludes with perhaps the most valuable parenting strategy of all—establishing trusted adults outside the immediate family who share your values and can serve as safe resources for your children when they find themselves in challenging situations.

BAHALOTECHADeveloping a Positivity BiasHow can people stand before the most uplifting events in history and cry over trivialities?How is it possible to cross the sea and receive bread from heaven, to receive the Torah at Mount Sinai and witness the Divine Presence resting upon the Tabernacle—and complain that there's no garlic and onions to spice the fish?Because the mind plays tricks on us. The brain lies and creates a distorted picture of reality. Psychologists call this the “negativity bias.” The brain gives much more weight to negative events than to positive ones and highlights only those. Research says it takes five positive events to balance out one negative one.
In the spiritual scene, people think that we can break the ego… And if we have broken the ego, we get enlightenment… The Psychologists don't think that it is possible to break the ego permanently and they can prove that. What is the ego?In the spiritual/religious scene, we define the ego as the root of all sorrow or as the collection of our negative feelings, thoughts, and habits. Actually, this is not true!Our ego is the collection of all of our habits, feelings, and thoughts.Everything that we have learned is part of our ego, be it our skills, habits, bad temper, and even our diseases. When we had been a baby, we had inside of us the divine and our animal mind that is part of the ego. We grew up and lost the connection to the divine, and our ego was formed through our environment, parents, and so on. Actually, our ego helps us to survive. For that reason, the Psychologists are not against the ego.Through spiritual, religious contemplation, we increase the divine inside of us. So that we get reconnected to the divine and can feel the divine as love, or bliss or calmness of the mind or as a Satori or Samadhi. Many of the holy saints or gurus are teaching us that we have to get rid totally of our ego to become divine, egoless, or enlightenment. And these gurus proclaim that they are egoless. The history tells us rather more that these so divine gurus have cheated us… We all lose our ego during our sleep. And when we wake up, our ego is back. After we experience a Samadhi or Satori, we are again in our ego. We can only lose our ego for a specific time and never permanently. If we break our ego permanently we will die… Because our ego is so intervened in our body and mind. We can't live without our ego. The great Guru Ramakrishna said we can't break our ego, we can only make our ego a servant of God or of the people… Instead, to build up more and more our selfish Ego, we can become step by step a servant of God. And this part is following the Christian, Sufis, Yogis, and Buddhists. And it starts that we try our best to serve our family, coworkers, clients, customer, God… If we combine it with spiritual and religious contemplation, we connect with God and experience the divine….

Send us a textDrawing from her extensive experience as a special education teacher, Dr. Thomas explains that effective behavior support isn't about punishment—it's about setting clear, understandable expectations that children can meet. “I've got to be able to see it and count it,” she emphasizes, pointing out that vague instructions like “be respectful” don't provide children with the specific guidance they need to succeed.Instead, she offers practical tools like the SLANT method for active listening—Sit tall, Lean forward, Acknowledge the speaker, Nod, Track the speaker—to demonstrate how breaking behaviors into observable, measurable actions creates a strong foundation for lifelong success.Want to transform how you support your child's behavior at home and in school?Tune in now for powerful insights that can shift your parenting approach and help your child build essential life skills.

Today, we're talking about something both ancient and revolutionary: trust—and how an unshakable belief in positive outcomes can lead to a more joyful, fulfilling life. “Let's start with a big question: What is trust, really? At its core, trust is the belief that things will turn out well, or that others have good intentions. It's the glue of every relationship, the bedrock of successful communities, and—here's the kicker—it's also a major predictor of happiness. A 2016 study from the Journal of Happiness Studies found that people who have higher levels of interpersonal trust report significantly greater life satisfaction. Not marginally more. Significantly. And it's not just about trusting other people. It's about trusting life itself. Psychologists call this positive expectancy—a mental habit of expecting things to work out, even when we can't see how just yet. Trust that you can thrive at any age. Right now I am holding space for women 50 and older who trust that it's never too late to claim their life purpose, break free from fear and old patterns to fully embrace this new season of life. Set up a “Claim Your Purpose Strategy Session”. Call in joy and trust at any age.

Text me your thoughts! Listen as Raphael and Lexi discuss my essay "Resisting America's Hate Problem." The Source they refer to is the essay which is reprinted below. Their lively conversation brings out the main point: each of us should resist the temptation to fear people who are different as well as refusing the follow leaders who use hate to gain followers. We can break the hate by connecting to people who are different.“They're eating dogs… eating cats… the people that came in are eating pets!” The bizarre declaration by Vance and Trump about legal Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio went viral from the presidential debate last year. Local officials denied the stories, immigrants shared their life stories of overcoming hardship, and no animal bodies were found—yet the rumors about what “they” were doing persisted across the airwaves to influence voters. “They” are always a threat. The hate multiplies faster than the truth could ever move.The strategy of finding scapegoats who are different and threatening has worked for millennia. Ancient tribes on every continent fought incessant wars. Mayan versus Aztec, Persians versus Egyptians, American settlers versus Native tribes, Jews versus Arabs, Nazis versus Jews—the list covers all of humanity. Leaders denounce the others as the source of all the problems and a threat to livelihood.Nationalist leaders in America have followed this same pattern of hate and fear. The Native Indian tribes were driven out in the 17th century. Irish were denounced in the 18th century and Chinese in the 19th. The mid-twentieth century heard claims Communists were infiltrating society to overthrow the government. Ten years ago candidate Trump highlighted Mexican immigrants as criminals, drug lords, and murderous gangs that were flooding our cities. The past four years the target has included transgender predators who are taking over kids sports and destroying families.The claims are outrageous, unscientific, and destructive. But they grab headlines and mislead voters by the millions. The promise is that a strong-arm leader will save us from what “they” are doing.Let's be honest. The accusations against the others aren't true. The only truth is that the leaders who fan the hate gain support from the fearful and misinformed.Psychologists tell us that our minds are wired for survival and safety. Recognizing a threatening situation could make the difference of life or death. Other people are different and that raises the possibility of danger. They don't talk English so who knows what they are saying, or our daughters will be assaulted by men with a different skin color. In addition, there may also be the battle for scarce resources. The common refrain is that they are taking our jobs at home and abroad. That opposing group could be larger than we are, so we are in danger of being overrun by people flooding across the borders or having a great army that can defeat us.Today we must resist the flood of misinformation promoted by those seeking power. Press conferences, influencer interviews, and social media posts seek to create fear and distrust. The voices shout about the danger some group poses. “They are eating dogs! Follow me and I will save us!”We must name the anti-immigrant fears that have led to deportations as hateful bigotry.We must name the anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim speeches as destructive of our shared society.We must name the racial and ethnic stereotNewsletter subscription Support the showSubscribe to this podcast for a monthly bonus episode plus the TRACKS EXPRESS weekly newsletter with more resources for well-being!Enjoy the Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/@tracksforthejourney77

Belief itself can make things real. In the original tale, Tinker Bell only survives if people believe in her.Psychologists have borrowed this idea to explain how belief can shape our reality…not just in Neverland, but in everyday life. From confidence boosts to better mental health, your mindset may hold more power than you think. Of course, like any kind of magic, the Tinker Bell effect needs to be used wisely. But when applied thoughtfully, it can be downright transformative.We broke up, can I keep his mom? Jordan on Instagram DMs writes: My ex and I broke up over a year ago, but his mom and I stayed close. Every couple of weeks we meet for coffee, text about books, and she even invited me to her birthday brunch. My ex just found out and flipped, saying I'm crossing a line. But honestly, she feels like family to me, and we never even talk about him. Is it wrong to stay friends with her, or does breaking up with someone mean breaking up with their family too?Second Date Update: Chris calls us to see if we can connect with Julie. They met at a networking event in SF recently and really hit it off! Lots of texting and funny banter and they FINALLY had dinner a couple weeks ago. Everything was going so smoothly (and he rarely dates so this is a big deal for him) and in the middle of dinner she said she "wasn't feeling well" and left abruptly. He followed up that night on text....no word back. Was it something he said about her daughter?

In this episode, Gina and Dr. Beverley are talking psychology and sleep. Dr. Beverley breaks down why sleep is more than just rest—it's brain maintenance. She explains how sleep affects everything from your mood to your hormones to your ability to make solid choices during the day. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still struggling, your sleep might be the missing piece. From why you can't actually “catch up” on lost sleep to how your daily habits shape your nights, this conversation shifts the way you think about winding down. Dr. B also gets into what's happening in each sleep stage, whether or not working out late is a good idea, and how to track your sleep without adding pressure. Plus—spoiler alert—men and women do experience sleep differently. The takeaway? Sleep isn't just part of your wellness routine—it is the routine.Dr. Beverley is a Clinical Psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. She also holds a Ph.D. in Sleep Research (Insomnia) and a Master's in Health Psychology.Find Dr. Beverley:https://www.yourpsychologycentre.ca/@drdrbeverleyYou can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2025To learn more about The Livy Method, visit livymethod.com.

Hello Interactors,This week, I've been reflecting on the themes of my last few essays — along with a pile of research that's been oddly in sync. Transit planning. Neuroscience. Happiness studies. Complexity theory. Strange mix, but it keeps pointing to the same thing: cities aren't just struggling with transportation or housing. They're struggling with connection. With meaning. With the simple question: what kind of happiness should a city make possible? And why don't we ask that more often?STRANGERS SHUNNED, SYSTEMS SIMULATEDThe urban century was supposed to bring us together. Denser cities, faster mobility, more connected lives — these were the promises of global urbanization. Yet in the shadow of those promises, a different kind of city has emerged in America with growing undertones elsewhere: one that increasingly seeks to eliminate the stranger, bypass friction, and privatize interaction.Whether through algorithmically optimized ride-sharing, private tunnels built to evade street life, or digital maps simulating place without presence for autonomous vehicles, a growing set of design logics work to render other people — especially unknown others — invisible, irrelevant, or avoidable.I admit, I too can get seduced by this comfort, technology, and efficiency. But cities aren't just systems of movement — they're systems of meaning. Space is never neutral; it's shaped by power and shapes behavior in return. This isn't new. Ancient cities like Teotihuacan (tay-oh-tee-wah-KAHN) in central Mexico, once one of the largest cities in the world, aligned their streets and pyramids with the stars. Chang'an (chahng-AHN), the capital of Tang Dynasty China, used strict cardinal grids and walled compounds to reflect Confucian ideals of order and hierarchy. And Uruk (OO-rook), in ancient Mesopotamia, organized civic life around temple complexes that stood at the spiritual and administrative heart of the city.These weren't just settlements — they were spatial arguments about how people should live together, and who should lead. Even Middle Eastern souks and hammams were more than markets or baths; they were civic infrastructure. Whether through temples or bus stops, the question is the same: What kind of social behavior is this space asking of us?Neuroscience points to answers. As Shane O'Mara argues, walking is not just transport — it's neurocognitive infrastructure. The hippocampus, which governs memory, orientation, and mood, activates when we move through physical space. Walking among others, perceiving spontaneous interactions, and attending to environmental cues strengthens our cognitive maps and emotional regulation.This makes city oriented around ‘stranger danger' not just unjust — but indeed dangerous. Because to eliminate friction is to undermine emergence — not only in the social sense, but in the economic and cultural ones too. Cities thrive on weak ties, on happenstance, on proximity without intention. Mark Granovetter's landmark paper, The Strength of Weak Ties, showed that it's those looser, peripheral relationships — not our inner circles — that drive opportunity, creativity, and mobility. Karl Polanyi called it embeddedness: the idea that markets don't float in space, they're grounded in the social fabric around them.You see it too in scale theory — in the work of Geoffrey West and Luís Bettencourt — where the productive and innovative energy of cities scales with density, interaction, and diversity. When you flatten all that into private tunnels and algorithmic efficiency, you don't just lose the texture — you lose the conditions for invention.As David Roberts, a climate and policy journalist known for his systems thinking and sharp urban critiques, puts it: this is “the anti-social dream of elite urbanism” — a vision where you never have to share space with anyone not like you. In conversation with him, Jarrett Walker, a transit planner and theorist who's spent decades helping cities design equitable bus networks, also pushes back against this logic. He warns that when cities build transit around avoidance — individualized rides, privatized tunnels, algorithmic sorting — they aren't just solving inefficiencies. They're hollowing out the very thing that makes transit (and cities) valuable and also public: the shared experience of strangers moving together.The question isn't just whether cities are efficient — but what kind of social beings they help us become. If we build cities to avoid each other, we shouldn't be surprised when they crumble as we all forget how to live together.COVERAGE, CARE, AND CIVIC CALMIf you follow urban and transit planning debates long enough, you'll hear the same argument come up again and again: Should we focus on ridership or coverage? High-frequency routes where lots of people travel, or wide access for people who live farther out — even if fewer use the service? For transit nerds, it's a policy question. For everyone else, it's about dignity.As Walker puts it, coverage isn't about efficiency — it's about “a sense of fairness.” It's about living in a place where your city hasn't written you off because you're not profitable to serve. Walker's point is that coverage isn't charity. It's a public good, one that tells people: You belong here.That same logic shows up in more surprising places — like the World Happiness Report. Year after year, Finland lands at the top. But as writer Molly Young found during her visit to Helsinki, Finnish “happiness” isn't about joy or euphoria. It's about something steadier: trust, safety, and institutional calm. What the report measures is evaluative happiness — how satisfied people are with their lives over time — not affective happiness, which is more about momentary joy or emotional highs.There's a Finnish word that captures this. It the feeling you get after a sauna: saunanjälkeinen raukeus (SOW-nahn-yell-kay-nen ROW-keh-oos) — the softened, slowed state of the body and mind. That's what cities like Helsinki seem to deliver: not bliss, but a stable, low-friction kind of contentment. And while that may lack sparkle, it makes people feel held.And infrastructure plays a big role. In Helsinki, the signs in the library don't say “Be Quiet.” They say, “Please let others work in peace.” It's a small thing, but it speaks volumes — less about control, more about shared responsibility. There are saunas in government buildings. Parents leave their babies sleeping in strollers outside cafés. Transit is clean, quiet, and frequent. As Young puts it, these aren't luxuries — they're part of a “bone-deep sense of trust” the city builds and reinforces. Not enforced from above, but sustained by expectation, habit, and care.My family once joined an organized walking tour of Copenhagen. The guide, who was from Spain, pointed to a clock in a town square and said, almost in passing, “The government has always made sure this clock runs on time — even during war.” It wasn't just about punctuality. It was about trust. About the quiet promise that the public realm would still hold, even when everything else felt uncertain. This, our guide noted from his Spanish perspective, is what what make Scandinavians so-called ‘happy'. They feel held.Studies show that most of what boosts long-term happiness isn't about dopamine hits — it's about relational trust. Feeling safe. Feeling seen. Knowing you won't be stranded if you don't have a car or a credit card. Knowing the city works, even if you don't make it work for you.In this way, transit frequency and subtle signs in Helsinki are doing the same thing. They're shaping behavior and reinforcing social norms. They're saying: we share space here. Don't be loud. Don't cut in line. Don't treat public space like it's only for you.That kind of city can't be built on metrics alone. It needs moral imagination — the kind that sees coverage, access, and slowness as features, not bugs. That's not some socialist's idea of utopia. It's just thoughtful. Built into the culture, yes, but also the design.But sometimes we're just stuck with whatever design is already in place. Even if it's not so thoughtful. Economists and social theorists have long used the concept of path dependence to explain why some systems — cities, institutions, even technologies — get stuck. The idea dates back to work in economics and political science in the 1980s, where it was used to show how early decisions, even small ones, can lock in patterns that are hard to reverse.Once you've laid train tracks, built freeways, zoned for single-family homes — you've shaped what comes next. Changing course isn't impossible, but it's costly, slow, and politically messy. The QWERTY keyboard is a textbook example: not the most efficient layout, but one that stuck because switching systems later would be harder than just adapting to what we've got.Urban scholars Michael Storper and Allen Scott brought this thinking into city studies. They've shown how economic geography and institutional inertia shape urban outcomes — how past planning decisions, labor markets, and infrastructure investments limit the options cities have today. If your city bet on car-centric growth decades ago, you're probably still paying for that decision, even if pivoting is palatable to the public.CONNECTIONS, COMPLEXITY, CITIES THAT CAREThere's a quote often attributed to Stephen Hawking that's made the rounds in complexity science circles: “The 21st century will be the century of complexity.” No one's entirely sure where he said it — it shows up in systems theory blogs, talks, and books — but it sticks. Probably because it feels true.If the last century was about physics — closed systems, force, motion, precision — then this one is about what happens when the pieces won't stay still. When the rules change mid-game. When causes ripple back as consequences. In other words: cities.Planners have tried to tame that complexity in all kinds of ways. Grids. Zoning codes. Dashboards. There's long been a kind of “physics envy” in both planning and economics — a belief that if we just had the right model, the right inputs, we could predict and control the city like a closed system. As a result, for much of the 20th century, cities were designed like machines — optimized for flow, separation, and predictability.But even the pushback followed a logic of control — cul-de-sacs and suburban pastoralism — wasn't a turn toward organic life or spontaneity. It was just a softer kind of order: winding roads and whispered rules meant to keep things calm, clean, and contained…and mostly white and moderately wealthy.If you think of cities like machines, it makes sense to want control. More data, tighter optimization, fewer surprises. That's how you'd tune an engine or write software. But cities aren't machines. They're messy, layered, and full of people doing unpredictable things. They're more like ecosystems — or weather patterns — than they are a carburetor. And that's where complexity science becomes useful.People like Paul Cilliers and Brian Castellani have argued for a more critical kind of complexity science — one that sees cities not just as networks or algorithms, but as places shaped by values, power, and conflict. Cilliers emphasized that complex systems, like cities, are open and dynamic: they don't have fixed boundaries, they adapt constantly, and they respond to feedback in ways no planner can fully predict. Castellani extends this by insisting that complexity isn't just technical — it's ethical. It demands we ask: Who benefits from a system's design? Who has room to adapt, and who gets constrained? In this view, small interventions — a zoning tweak, a route change — can set off ripple effects that reshape how people move, connect, and belong. A new path dependence.This is why certainty is dangerous in urban design. It breeds overconfidence. Humility is a better place to start. As Jarrett Walker puts it, “there are all kinds of ways to fake your way through this.” Agencies often adopt feel-good mission statements like “compete with the automobile by providing access for all” — which, he notes, is like “telling your taxi driver to turn left and right at the same time.” You can't do both. Not on a fixed budget.Walker pushes agencies to be honest: if you want to prioritize ridership, say so. If you want to prioritize broad geographic coverage, that's also valid — but know it will mean lower ridership. The key is not pretending you can have both at full strength. He says, “What I want is for board members… to make this decision consciously and not be surprised by the consequences”.These decisions matter. A budget cut can push riders off buses, which then leads to reduced service, which leads to more riders leaving — a feedback loop. On the flip side, small improvements — like better lighting, a public bench, a frequent bus — can set off positive loops too. Change emerges, often sideways.That means thinking about transit not just as a system of movement, but as a relational space. Same with libraries, parks, and sidewalks. These aren't neutral containers. They're environments that either support or suppress human connection. If you design a city to eliminate friction, you eliminate chance encounters — the stuff social trust is made of.I'm an introvert. I like quiet. I recharge alone. But I also live in a city — and I've learned that even for people like me, being around others still matters. Not in the chatty, get-to-know-your-neighbors way. But in the background hum of life around you. Sitting on a bus. Browsing in a bookstore. Walking down a street full of strangers, knowing you don't have to engage — but you're not invisible either.There's a name for this. Psychologists call it public solitude or sometimes energized privacy — the comfort of being alone among others. Not isolated, not exposed. Just held, lightly, in the weave of the crowd. And the research backs it up: introverts often seek out public spaces like cafés, libraries, or parks not to interact, but to feel present — connected without pressure.In the longest-running happiness study ever done, 80 years, Harvard psychologist Robert Waldinger found that strong relationships — not income, not status — were the best predictor of long-term well-being. More recently, studies have shown that even brief interactions with strangers — on a bus, in a coffee shop — can lift mood and reduce loneliness. But here's the catch: cities have to make those interactions possible.Or they don't.And that's the real test of infrastructure. We've spent decades designing systems to move people through. Fast. Clean. Efficient. But we've neglected the quiet spaces that let people just be. Sidewalks you're not rushed off of. Streets where kids can safely bike or play…or simply cross the street.Even pools — maybe especially pools. My wife runs a nonprofit called SplashForward that's working to build more public pools. Not just for fitness, but because pools are public space. You float next to people you may never talk to. And still, you're sharing something. Space. Water. Time.You see this clearly in places like Finland and Iceland, where pools and saunas are built into the rhythms of public life. They're not luxuries — they're civic necessities. People show up quietly, day after day, not to socialize loudly, but to be alone together. As one Finnish local told journalist Molly Young, “During this time, we don't have... colors.” It was about the long gray winter, sure — but also something deeper: a culture that values calm over spectacle. Stability over spark. A kind of contentment that doesn't perform.But cities don't have to choose between quiet and joy. We don't have to model every system on Helsinki in February. There's something beautiful in the American kind of happiness too — the loud, weird, spontaneous moments that erupt in public. The band on the subway. The dance party in the park. The loud kid at the pool. That kind of energy can be a nuisance, but it can also be joyful.Even Jarrett Walker, who's clear-eyed about transit, doesn't pretend it solves everything. Transit isn't always the answer. Sometimes a car is the right tool. What matters is whether everyone has a real choice — not just those with money or proximity or privilege. And he's quick to admit every city with effective transit has its local grievances.So no, I'm not arguing for perfection, or even socialism. I'm arguing for a city that knows how to hold difference. Fast and slow. Dense and quiet. A city that lets you step into the crowd, or sit at its edge, and still feel like you belong. A place to comfortably sit with the uncertainty of this great transformation emerging around us. Alone and together.REFERENCESCastellani, B. (2014).

Ever walk away from a date or social event wondering, “Did they even like me?” You're not alone—and the answer might not be what you think. Psychologists call it the liking gap: the tendency we all have to assume people like us less than they actually do. It's common in dating, new friendships, and even in fresh work environments. But here's the kicker—this self-doubt can sabotage potential relationships before they've even started. A 2018 study in Psychological Science showed most people underestimate how much others enjoy their company. Why? Because we're often too critical of ourselves. So, how can you overcome the liking gap—and stop second-guessing every social interaction? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Every single one of us is guilty of using some pretty common forms of Stinkin' Thinkin' at times. Psychologists use fancier word to describe Stinkin' Thinkin'… we call them Cognitive Distortions. Thinking Traps are also words to describe negative thoughts because they often leave us feeling TRAPPED on a hamster wheel of negative thoughts that spin out and result in negative feelings and ultimately result in unhealthy behaviors. I had a patient say it much more clearly… she told me, “Negative thoughts result in negative behaviors.” Enough said! Therefore, we need to become aware of the Cognitive Distortions we use most frequently and employ the skills from last week's episode to change our thoughts and therefore change our behavior. BECAUSE… Healthy thoughts lead to Healthy Behaviors!

If you've ever wondered how reliant creatives are on their producers, count how many are married to them.Lots.Including me, my two creative partners at Campbell Doyle Dye and dozens of friends. Psychologists say we seek qualities in a partner we don't have ourselves.To create more complete children.So right brainers, who come up with the theories, need left brainers to help turn them into reality.Yvonne Chalkley has turned more crazy, impossible, can't-be-done theories into reality than anyone.After watching her ads, you could be forgiven for thinking each came with a blank cheque for production and a guarantee that the creatives had final sign off.Obviously, neither were true.How you navigate between the differing demands from the client, agency, film production company and creative team I don't know.Don't compromise and the script may not get made.Compromise too much and the script and it may not be worth making.And here's the really weird, spooky thing - I can't find anyone who's ever heard Yvonne raise her voice.Or say no.I asked her to explain.(She said ‘yes', obvs.)This is the first episode edited by Parv - thanks Parv!

Today, we're diving into a simple but powerful mindset shift: changing “I have to” into “I want to.” This tiny tweak can unlock motivation, gratitude, and a deeper sense of purpose, helping you energize your day and stay in the flow.Key Takeaways:✅ Reframing tasks from obligation to choice empowers you.✅ Saying “I want to” taps into gratitude and intrinsic motivation.✅ Purpose-driven language energizes you and boosts well-being.✅ This mindset shift reduces stress and improves emotional resilience.Have you ever started your day feeling low energy, looking at your to-do list with a heavy heart?I had one of those mornings recently. I sat down to write my tasks, but instead of just listing them like usual, I tried a little experiment. I rewrote each task by connecting it to a bigger “why” — and most importantly, I started with “I want to,” instead of “I have to.”For example, instead of writing “review lease agreements” — which sounds dry and boring — I wrote: “I want to have a steady and profitable income, so I want to carefully review these agreements.”Instead of “schedule doctor's appointment” — which I had been putting off — I wrote: “I want to take care of my health, so I will schedule my doctor's appointment.”And you know what happened? Boom. Energy. Motivation. Excitement.Suddenly, my day wasn't full of chores — it was full of choices I wanted to make for my future self.Psychologists have found that when we frame activities as “want to” rather than “have to,” we activate intrinsic motivation — the kind that comes from within.Research from Self-Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000) shows that intrinsic motivation boosts well-being, engagement, and resilience.When we say “I want to,” we tell our brain we have agency — we are choosing our path, not being dragged down it.On the flip side, “I have to” creates pressure. It triggers stress, resistance, and sometimes even resentment.But “I want to” brings gratitude, empowerment, and flow.So next time you're writing your to-do list, try this:Connect every task to your bigger purpose. Start each one with “I want to.” Watch how your energy shifts.Remember, it's not about forcing false positivity. It's about honestly finding your reason — your why — and stepping into the power of choice.When we move from obligation to desire, life feels lighter, richer, and way more fulfilling.When you choose to connect your actions to your deeper purpose, you don't just get things done — you build the life you actually want.It's a small shift with a massive impact. Keep leading your days with intention — and as always, stay in the flow.

Specifically, the school day is in complete conflict with Autism- both Criteria A and B. This is the primary factor with the challenges of Autism in Education. The classroom requires a Social Dynamic, a Speech and Language Dynamic, and Sensory-Processing Dynamic, which is 3 strikes against Autism. In addition, the subject switching throughout the school day complicates our path of learning- Our learning style prefers spending extended times on a single subject. Autism gives us the ability to be comfortable within ourselves and this accelerates our learning, our Superpowers. School and the world mostly requires the social communication and interaction.

[WEEKEND RECAP 04-06-25] Conservatives understand human nature better than anyone. We don't fall for the Left's utopian nonsense that all behavior should be normalized. We recognize that some actions are inherently destructive. But we also believe in the principle “hate the sin, love the sinner.” Contrast that with the Left, who pretend to be the party of tolerance while being the most judgmental, ruthless ideologues in modern history.They claim to care about humanity, yet they excuse the most depraved behaviors imaginable. They pack our prisons. They glorify criminals. They redefine violent crime as "misunderstood behavior." They make excuses for murderers, rapists, and human traffickers while attacking law-abiding citizens for merely expressing conservative views. Psychologists call this moral disengagement—the mental gymnastics people use to justify their own hypocrisy and cruelty. It's how radical activists can scream about "justice" while excusing looting, arson, and even murder if it serves their political cause. It's why they'll defend a convicted killer as a "victim of systemic oppression" while calling a suburban dad a "Nazi" for voting Republican.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.
[EP 25-135] Life is a relentless teacher. Whether you recognize it or not, you are constantly learning. And here's the kicker—learning doesn't care if you're paying attention. You can ignore life's lessons, misinterpret them, or even reject them outright, but that doesn't mean they aren't happening. Psychologists call this implicit learning—the process of absorbing patterns and behaviors without consciously trying. It's why children pick up language before they ever study grammar, and why you might instinctively know how to navigate a social situation without being taught. But here's the problem: not everyone processes these lessons correctly.Some people grow, adapt, and refine themselves, while others double down on bad habits, bad thinking, and outright delusion. The good news? Most of us, knowingly or not, make tiny adjustments as we go. We take life's feedback—mistakes, successes, gut feelings—and we tweak ourselves into slightly better versions of who we were yesterday. Call it evolution, call it maturity, but the ability to recognize when we need to change is what separates intelligence from ignorance. And here's my simple guidance for those wondering if they can improve: YES, YOU CAN.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

If you're currently no contact with family or considering this step, you're not alone; connect with Stand Alone, Together Estranged, and Family Support Resources for community and support.
