Podcasts about Ralph Waldo Emerson

In this episode of Boldly Go, Brandi and Dave talk about episode 309 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Terrarium. Topics include derivative works, passing the Bechdel test, and the literary works of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Not a whole lot of jokes in this one.

Ralph Waldo Emerson didn't just write in his journals—he returned to them again and again. In this episode, I'll share how that practice helped him refine his thinking and why it can help us too. I'll also recommend a short book on ethics that makes philosophy clear and useful, and give you a quick update on the progress of Edgewater Bookstore.Send Me a Text Message with Your QuestionsIMPORTANT LINKS:

Sow a habit, and you reap a character; sow a character, and you reap a destiny." - Ralph Waldo Emerson "The family who eats together stays together." - Christopher Robbins "We work to fall in love, but without work, we can fall out of love." - Christopher Robbins "Losing ourselves in the service of others makes us happy and improves our outlook." - Christopher Robbins

In this episode, I begin a six-part series on Ralph Waldo Emerson's journaling habits. Emerson didn't see his journals as a place to record daily events—he saw them as a savings bank for ideas. I'll explain what that means and why changing how you view your journal is the first step toward making it a tool for thinking. I'll also share a book recommendation that can help you choose the right kind of notebook for this practice.

Labor has such a negative connotation to so many, but why? We have an idea or two on that. The question is, "Can I be comfortable with allowing time to do it's work?" Believe it or not, patience isn't anxiously waiting for something to happen—it's not putting up with delays or setbacks until our desires are accomplished or completed. Patience isn't just an attribute or virtue, it can also be a lifestyle. When that happens, Labor starts to become enjoyable. Pace and patience are some of the best ways our work, our jobs, our labor, our service becomes Happy. Ralph Waldo Emerson tells us it's the hardest working Mother of All's secret, and it should become ours as well.Listen and share, and you'll be become Happier already.Nature Is Speaking – Julia Roberts is Mother Nature from Conservation International link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmVLcj-XKnM.  Toki Motivation link https://www.enliventhemind.com/motivational-quote-guides/ralph-waldo-emerson-quote-about-patience-adopt-the-pace-of-nature/The song we used for the intro was "Are You Happy" by Primitive Radio Gods.

Send us a textWhat if the way we've been taught to think about work is fundamentally flawed? Labor Day offers the perfect moment to question our relationship with work and consider a different path forward.When Merriam-Webster defines labor as "a dull, unpleasant or difficult piece of work," it reflects how most of us experience our jobs – as burdens rather than blessings. Many of us are caught in what I call the "matrix merry-go-round" – working endless hours at jobs we dislike, just to stay afloat financially. We're "Just Over Broke," dependent on systems that were designed to keep us exhausted, compliant, and unable to pursue our true purpose.But there's another perspective worth considering. Throughout spiritual traditions, work is framed not as punishment but as meaningful contribution. The biblical view presents labor as part of our divine purpose, with Colossians reminding us to work "heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men." When we begin viewing our efforts as service to something greater than corporations or paychecks, everything shifts.Breaking free from the matrix doesn't happen overnight. It's a journey that requires courage, persistence, and trust. Perhaps you're still punching a time clock but dreaming of independence. Maybe you've moved to freelance work or started a side hustle. Whatever stage you're at, remember Ralph Waldo Emerson's wisdom: "Without ambition, one starts nothing. Without work, one finishes nothing." The path to freedom requires both the vision to begin and the persistence to complete.This Labor Day, I invite you to reconsider what you're laboring for. Are you building someone else's dream or your own? Are you planting seeds for future freedom?

“In this part of the essay, Emerson is talking about walking a lot, you know, sort of walking through nature, taking a stroll,” says James Marcus in this week's episode of The World in Time. “He has this rather sublime experience, and he describes it in this way: ‘Standing on the bare ground, my head bathed by the blithe air and uplifted into infinite space, all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball. I am nothing. I see all. The currents of the universal being circulate through me. I am a part or particle of God.' Now, I mean, that is lofty stuff, and it can edge over into silliness. In a way, if you picture it, it starts to be silly and that is why Christopher Cranch's cartoon is hilarious, because a literalization of it is kind of ridiculous, in a way. Part of the thing I love about Emerson is that he wasn't afraid to seem silly in his eagerness to render the experience. What he's talking about—if you get away from the actual image of an eyeball with a top hat on—is a kind of ecstatic merger with the universe, where the walls drop, the boundaries drop, the currents of the universe move through you. If you look at it that way, he's talking about a classic ecstatic experience.” This week on the podcast, Donovan Hohn speaks with writer and biographer James Marcus about his book Glad to the Brink of Fear: A Portrait of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Emerson's sense of self was, Marcus says, “kaleidoscopic,” and so is this episode, presenting not one Emerson but many: Emerson the public intellectual who cherished the privacy of his study, Emerson the lapsed minister who left the church but continued to preach on the lyceum circuit, Emerson the initially reluctant but eventually ardent abolitionist, Emerson the Swedenborgian mystic, Emerson the loner who deeply loved his friends Margaret Fuller and Henry Thoreau, Emerson the son estranged from his father, Emerson the father undone by grief for his dead son, and, finally, Emerson the volunteer firefighter. Marcus and Hohn also go searching for Emersonian influences in “The Mast-Head” chapter of Moby Dick. But they spend most of the conversation with the essayist from Concord, that artisan of indelible sentences, whom Melville once compared to a great philosophical whale who could dive “five miles or more,” sounding the depths.

Are you living the same year over and over, or are you moving toward your vision? In this week's episode of The Genesis Frequency, we go deeper into the process of creating a powerful vision for your life — and uncovering the hidden paradigms that keep you stuck.Last week, we talked about clarifying your big dream goals and noticing what holds you back. This week, we'll look at why vision alone isn't enough. We'll talk about the subconscious programming — the paradigms — that quietly dictate your behavior and results. And most importantly, you'll discover why you can't break free on your own, and why having a skilled guide is the fastest, most effective way to transform your life and business.You'll hear wisdom from great teachers like Bob Proctor, Jack Canfield, Wayne Dyer, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Michael Bernard Beckwith, reminding us that all things are possible when vision meets belief, action, and mentorship.This is your wake-up call. You don't have to stay stuck in cycles of self-sabotage. You can have your thriving business, your dream career, your ideal relationships — but you must act, and you must have guidance.Don't wait for another year to slip by. Tune in, take notes, and then take action. Your new beginning starts now.Produced by:Dr. Koz (and effect!)Dr. Stephen J.

Viel Spaß bei der nächsten Folge von Emerson: Vertraue dir Selbst! Von Intuition und Schlafproblemen.

"Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets." Amos 3:7 Have you ever felt that gentle tug on your heart, urging you to pay attention? It's in these quiet moments that the Divine speaks to us, revealing truths that can change our lives. As the Bible reminds us, “God reveals His secrets to those who seek Him.” This isn't just about hearing; it's about cultivating a relationship that allows us to understand His voice amidst the noise of our world. Consider the story of Samuel, a young boy who learned to listen intently. In 1 Samuel 3, God called him multiple times, and each time Samuel responded with an open heart. This pivotal moment illustrates that a true prophet is not only a messenger but a seeker whose heart is attuned to God's whispers. By nurturing a listening heart, we too can discern the Divine calling in our lives, becoming vessels of hope and guidance for others. Jeremiah 23:18 says, "But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD to see and hear His word? Who has given heed to His word and obeyed it?"  Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” So, as you reflect on what said so far, ask yourself: Am I open to becoming the person God wants me to be? Am I ready to step forward in faith, trusting that He will guide and empower me to fulfill His purpose? The decision lies within you — will you answer His call? Will you be willing to listen, to surrender your own plans, and to follow where He leads, even when the path is uncertain? Throughout history, God has chosen ordinary people — those who were open, humble, and willing — to carry out extraordinary tasks. Moses doubted his own abilities, Jonah ran from his calling, and Jeremiah felt too young and inexperienced, yet God equipped each one for the work He set before them. Remember, being used by God isn't about personal greatness or perfection but willingness and surrender. So, the choice is yours, but answer when He calls. Amen. Psalm 25:14 says, "The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them." Prayer for the Day!In the name of Jesus, I pray that the Lord grant you the courage to be faithful messengers of His Word. May He fill you with wisdom and discernment, guiding your steps as you walk in obedience to His calling. I pray that the Holy Spirit empowers you to share His love with compassion and grace, touching the lives of those around you. May your words bring hope, comfort, and truth, reflecting the light of Christ in all that you do. In Jesus' name, Amen

Communication that works at home. "Speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become...mature." Eph 4:15 NIVVirginia Satir, a founder of family systems therapy, determined that most families have five styles of communication. (1) Some members are placaters. They go along to get along, and reduce stress by saying what others want to hear that makes them less upset. (2) Others are blamers: finger-pointers, nitpickers, spinners of exquisite theories, eager to prove that they're right and you're wrong. And by accepting the blame, you vindicate and empower them. (3) Satir describes other family members as super-reasonable. Their motto is, "Always agree with what other people say and conceal your real feelings." It's how they prevent getting hurt. They talk from their head and not their heart, redirecting the conversation toward things that are "safe." (4) Other family members opt for irrelevance, deflecting the conversation away from uncomfortable and potentially threatening topics. They talk only about what's unrelated to whatever is going on. (5) The final communication style is congruous or consistent. Congruous people tell it like it is. No disguising feelings, no double-talk, and no pretending. If they're angry, they own their anger, they say they're angry, and they may even look angry. They're straight shooters. They have credibility; you can understand and believe them. No topics have to be dodged, and no questions avoided. Anything and everything can be discussed, and everyone's opinion is respected. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "Nothing astonishes men [and women] so much as common sense and plain dealing." And it's a scriptural, truth-based communication style that works.Communication that works at home"Common sense and plain dealing"Share This DevotionalSend us a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

Raghunath and Kaustubha explore a bold truth drawn from the bhakti-yoga tradition and Ralph Waldo Emerson: that real spiritual power isn't loud—it's earned quietly through honesty, humility, and freedom from envy. They discuss how small, virtuous choices—especially when no one is watching—build a subtle force that gives one's words and presence lasting impact. The episode flows from reflections on Vedic brāhmaṇas to personal stories of ethical tension, spiritual parenting, and learning to let go with grace. It's about becoming powerful not by dominating others—but by mastering oneself. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.7.8-19 ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

The grip of fear and anxiety has tightened around countless lives today—even among believers. What does it look like to break free? Join hosts John Martin and Valerie Peterson as they continue their heartfelt, practical discussion on overcoming these powerful emotions."False evidence appearing real." This simple acronym for fear reveals how deceptive our anxious thoughts can be. Throughout this conversation, John and Valerie offer transformative strategies for shifting the seesaw of emotions—when faith rises, fear naturally falls. They explain how thanksgiving acts as spiritual armor against anxiety, sharing the powerful truth from Philippians 4 about bringing everything to God with gratitude. For those struggling with persistent worry, they distinguish between experiencing the emotion of fear versus living under a spirit of fear.The hosts tackle difficult questions head-on: Why do traumatic experiences trigger anxiety years later? How can we identify the "why behind the what" of our anxious responses? When bad news arrives, what scripture can anchor our hearts? Their honest admissions about their own battles with fear create a judgment-free space for listeners facing similar struggles.Most powerfully, they share Ralph Waldo Emerson's profound wisdom: "Do the thing you fear most and the fear will leave you." This courage to act despite discomfort—to do it afraid—often becomes the pathway to freedom. Whether you're paralyzed by anxiety or simply seeking greater peace, this episode provides both compassionate understanding and practical tools for standing steadfast when life feels overwhelming. Listen, apply these principles, and discover how to manage your emotions rather than letting them manage you.For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com

I'm back! Viel Spaß mit der neuesten Folge von Philosophie zum Schlummern.

In this episode, Todd continues dismantling the transformation of modern political movements into ideological religions—complete with dogma, heresy, excommunication, and a mob-ready priesthood of online enforcers. Drawing on figures like H.L. Mencken, Joan Didion, Noam Chomsky, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, he explores how belief systems—left and right—have become substitute faiths, powered by dopamine, hashtags, and performative outrage. Todd weaves in cognitive science (via Nicholas Carr and neuroplasticity), propaganda theory (via Jacques Ellul and Edward Bernays), and personal experience to reveal how the digital age has eroded attention spans, critical thought, and individual conscience. Social media becomes the new pulpit. Echo chambers replace dialogue. Heresy now means thinking for yourself. At the core is a warning: intellectual autonomy now requires personal and moral courage. The courage to be disliked. To reject tribalism. To say, “That's bullshit”—especially when it comes from your own side. From Mencken's skewering of revivalist mobs to the modern cancellation of NPR apostate Uli Berliner, Todd paints a bleak but brutally honest picture of conformity culture, urging listeners to reclaim their minds—even if it means exile. This is not a feel-good sermon. It's a call to arms for the heretical unicorn.   *Recorded in Southwest Michigan and blasting worldwide on WBCQ 7490 starting next week! Details inside.   Like it?

In this episode, we welcome WNCW intern Elena Dickson to the podcast. Elena is a student at the University of Michigan, and here, she takes a turn at the helm for our episode on western North Carolina artist Sally Anne Morgan: My favorite Ralph Waldo Emerson quote reads, “Cause and effect, means and ends, seed and fruit, cannot be severed; for the effect already blooms in the cause, the end preexists in the means, the fruit in the seed.” It makes me think of the interconnectedness that lies beneath all our actions and that everything we do–from deciding what to eat for breakfast to moving across the country–has a deep impact on our lives in areas we don't even realize. Sally Anne Morgan embodies Emerson's coda. Even as a visual artist, musician, mother, and brewery owner, she emphasized how circular life feels: we are nothing without where we came from and where we came from wouldn't have been possible without what we have become. She embodies this through her music through her traditional techniques to create innovative elements. Rooting herself in tradition while employing new age elements, she resists the conformity and neatness that recording software, and certain genres, often demands. While she views old time and other music traditions as a living artform rather than something that belongs in the archives. Her stories have a background and history but they have nothing close to an end. When I decided to apply to WNCW to enhance my senior thesis on Appalachian storytelling, I had to explain why I was doing what I was doing to a few more people than I would have liked. Next time someone asks, I will send them this podcast so they can see the fluidity of storytelling and how deeply enmeshed it is with all other aspects of our lives. Telling a story does not require a defined beginning, middle, and end. Instead, it requires a conversation and a dedication to honoring what the story was and what it is going to become. Sally Anne Morgan creates in a way that makes you want to participate in the conversation and keep the story alive.

生命的意义究竟是什么？今天分享一句爱默生说过的话，或许会对你有一些启发。拉尔夫・沃尔多・爱默生（Ralph Waldo Emerson，1803 年 5 月 25 日－1882 年 4 月 27 日）美国超验主义领袖与文化偶像爱默生是 19 世纪美国最具影响力的思想家、散文家、诗人，被称为 “美国文明之父”。他发起的超验主义运动（Transcendentalism）彻底革新了美国文学与哲学，主张通过直觉和自然领悟真理，反对机械理性主义，强调个体精神的独立性。Quote to learn for todayThe purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.——Ralph Waldo Emerson翻译生命的意义不在于追求快乐，而在于活得有用、活得高尚、活得慈悲——要让你好好活过的痕迹，为这世界带来些许不同。—— 拉尔夫・沃尔多・爱默生26期爱趣英文开启限额招募，跟着卡卡老师彻底摆脱懒癌，全面系统提升！公众号：卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信：kakayingyu001

很多人都在感叹，日子过得太快了。这让我想起艾默生说过的一句话： “The years in your life are less important than the life in your years” ，无独有偶，孔子也讲过 “朝闻道，夕死可矣” 。这两句话，乍看没有太多关联，实则都在讲一个理。人活着，不能只盯着年龄数字的增长，更要在乎每一天有没有收获、有没有成长。除了看着日历数日子，吹着蜡烛过生日，最重要的是，能否在自己有限的生命中迸发出全然的生命状态和活力。能让自己的心灵得到提升。拉尔夫・沃尔多・爱默生（Ralph Waldo Emerson，1803 年 5 月 25 日－1882 年 4 月 27 日）美国超验主义领袖与文化偶像爱默生是 19 世纪美国最具影响力的思想家、散文家、诗人，被称为 “美国文明之父”。他发起的超验主义运动（Transcendentalism）彻底革新了美国文学与哲学，主张通过直觉和自然领悟真理，反对机械理性主义，强调个体精神的独立性。这句话也让我想起在英语学习当中非常容易陷入的一个误区，在《刻意练习》这本书当中提到了天真练习和刻意练习最大的区别在于：天真练习是漫无目的的练习，它没有自我的反馈以及方向感，但刻意练习不同，要针对自己容易犯错的地方反复进行纠正，反复进行练习，这样才可以在一次次的练习和纠正中让自己逐渐变得优秀。很多小伙伴学英语已经有十几年的时间了，可总是没有办法完整流利地用英文表达自己，其实本质上大家都可能陷入了天真练习的误区了。Quote to learn for todayThe years in your life are less important than the life in your years.——Ralph Waldo Emerson翻译你生命中的岁月，不如岁月中的生命重要。—— 拉尔夫・沃尔多・爱默生26期爱趣英文开启限额招募，跟着卡卡老师彻底摆脱懒癌，全面系统提升！公众号：卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信：kakayingyu001

Joseph Smith was the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, known by those outside the church during his life and today as the Mormons. But Joseph Smith was many things besides: the child of a struggling family gradually moving westward in search of opportunity, a day laborer, visionary, seer; treasure hunter; translator; revelator; prophet; elder, banker, prisoner, wrestler, real estate speculator, polygamist, Lieutenant General, Master Mason, Mayor, and martyr.“America,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson in 1844, “is the country of the future…[a] country of beginnings, of projects, of vast designs and expectations.” My guest John Turner observes that Joseph Smith might not have been what Emerson had in mind when he spoke of new beginnings and bold projects. But those were part of his life, in addition to vast designs and great expectations. Indeed, it is not too much to say that few nineteenth century Americans have an enduring legacy that can compare to Joseph Smith's.Yet John Turner's new book Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet also describes how this very untypical man was yet absolutely typical of his times. From his religious awakening among the religious revivalism of western New York, to his founding of utopian communities in the midwest, to his dietary concerns, and even to his experience of brutal mob violence that amounted to religious pogroms against his church, Smith's experiences–and those of his followers–were far from atypical. John G. Turner is professor of religious studies and history at George Mason University. His previous book was They Knew They Were Pilgrims: Plymouth Colony and the Contest for American Liberty, which we talked about in Episode 157.For Further Investigation In Episode 181, Sara Patterson and I discussed the practice of Mormon pilgrimage.For a conversation about a very different but equally charismatic and controversial 19th century American, see my conversation in Episode 198 with Bob Elder about John C. Calhoun, whom Elder describes as the "American heretic"; a nice pairing with an American prophet.The Joseph Smith Papers

For several decades, Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was perhaps the most prominent writer and intellectual in America. As an advocate of personal freedom living in Massachusetts, surrounded by passionate abolitionists, one might expect that his positions regarding slavery would be obvious and uncomplicated. And yet, Emerson struggled with the issue - not whether it was wrong (he was opposed to it), but the extent to which it obliged him or others to take action, and if so, how best to act in a way consistent with his philosophical principles. In this episode, Jacke talks to author Kenneth Sacks (Emerson's Civil Wars: Spirit in Society in the Age of Abolition) about what Emerson's wavering between self-reliance and collective action can tell us about who he was as a thinker and person - and whether his journey has lessons for the rest of us. PLUS Victoria Namkung (An Immortal Book: Selected Writings by Sui Sin Far) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read. AND ALSO Jacke jumps into the belly of the clickbait whale, following the headline "We Had Sex Inside Moby-Dick!" to learn about Japan's love hotels and their connection(?) to the Herman Melville classic.

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series on radio and podcast. In 1839, five women gathered in a Boston parlor, asking two profound questions: What are we born to do? How shall we do it? Their answers helped shape one of the most important intellectual movements in American history—Transcendentalism. We know the names Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. But what about Mary Moody Emerson, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, Sophia Peabody Hawthorne, Lydia Jackson Emerson, and Margaret Fuller? These women weren't just observers of the movement; they were its architects. They nurtured its philosophy, challenged its leaders, and laid the foundations for American feminism. Yet, history largely ignored them. Their ideas, often groundbreaking, were overshadowed by the men they inspired. Until now. Today, we welcome Smithsonian Associate Dr. Randall Fuller, the Herman Melville Distinguished Professor of 19th-Century American Literature at the University of Kansas, to uncover the hidden story of Transcendentalism.  Smithsonian Associate Dr. Randall Fuller will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up. Please check out our show notes today for details on his presentation, titled Bright Circle: Five Remarkable Transcendentalist Women. His book of the same name, available at Apple Books, Bright Circle: Five Remarkable Women in the Age of Transcendentalism, challenges what we think we know about this movement and restores these women to their rightful place in history. Did Emerson's most famous ideas actually begin with his aunt? Did a woman's journal from Cuba shape the way Americans saw nature? And how did one wife push her husband to take a stand on abolition? This is a conversation about the influence, erasure, and intellectual power of women in a time that tried to silence them. So, let's step back into the 19th century and meet the women who changed America—without ever getting the credit. My thanks to Smithsonian Associate Dr. Randall Fuller will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up. Please check out our show notes today for details on his presentation, titled Bright Circle: Five Remarkable Transcendentalist Women His book, of the same name, and available at Apple Books, Bright Circle: Five Remarkable Women in the Age of Transcendentalism. My thanks to the Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show. Please wish them a Happy 60th Anniversary this year! My thanks to Sam and Miranda Heninger for all they do to help ths show, too. And my thanks to you, our wonderful audience here on radio and podcast.
