Story Transcript:Hu: Ősz volt, amikor a Dunakanyar kanyonja aranyló lombbal köszöntötte a látogatókat.En: It was autumn when the canyon of the Dunakanyar greeted visitors with golden foliage.Hu: János, Zsófia és Erzsébet izgatottan pakolták be csomagjaikat a kocsi csomagtartójába.En: János, Zsófia, and Erzsébet were excitedly packing their bags into the car's trunk.Hu: Az úti céljuk az volt, hogy felfedezzék a kis magyar városokat és történelmi látnivalókat a környéken.En: Their destination was to explore the small Hungarian towns and historical sights in the area.Hu: János, aki külföldön élt az elmúlt években, különleges vágyat érzett, hogy kapcsolatba lépjen múltjával és kulturális örökségével.En: János, who had lived abroad in recent years, felt a special desire to connect with his past and cultural heritage.Hu: A keskeny úton haladva, János gondolatai mélyek voltak.En: Driving along the narrow road, János's thoughts were deep.Hu: Sokszor érezte, hogy eltávolodik a gyökereitől.En: He often felt like he was drifting away from his roots.Hu: Zsófia és Erzsébet azonban inkább a szép tájra és a közelgő Szent Mihály-napi ünnepségekre koncentráltak.En: However, Zsófia and Erzsébet focused more on the beautiful scenery and the upcoming Szent Mihály-napi celebrations.Hu: A barátságos beszélgetések és nevetések között János némán merengő pillantással nézett ki az ablakon.En: Amid friendly conversations and laughter, János gazed silently out the window, pondering.Hu: Bár szerette a barátait, néha úgy érezte, hogy nem értik igazán, milyen fontos számára ez az utazás.En: Although he loved his friends, he sometimes felt they didn't truly understand how important this journey was to him.Hu: Ahogy Visegrád felé haladtak, János eszébe jutott egy régi történet, amit a nagymamája mesélt.En: As they headed towards Visegrád, János remembered an old story his grandmother had told him.Hu: Egy kis, elfeledett kápolnáról, ahol fontos családi ereklyét őriznek.En: It was about a small, forgotten chapel where an important family relic was kept.Hu: János nem mondta el barátainak az ötletét, de eltökélte, hogy meglátogatja ezt a helyet.En: János didn't share his idea with his friends but was determined to visit this place.Hu: "Forduljunk erre!En: "Let's turn here!"Hu: " kiáltott János hirtelen, amikor megpillantott egy ösvényt a fák között.En: shouted János suddenly when he spotted a path among the trees.Hu: Zsófia és Erzsébet meglepetten néztek rá, de követték.En: Zsófia and Erzsébet looked at him in surprise but followed.Hu: A kápolnához érve egy csendes atmoszférát találtak, tele életteli színekkel ahogyan a levelek lassan hulltak a földre.En: Upon reaching the chapel, they found a serene atmosphere, full of vibrant colors as the leaves slowly fell to the ground.Hu: Ahogy János sétált a régi épület körül, egy régi ládát fedezett fel a kápolna sarkában.En: As János walked around the old building, he discovered an old chest in the corner of the chapel.Hu: Óvatosan nyitotta ki, és meglepetésére megtalálta benne a régen keresett családi ereklyét: egy régi, finoman megmunkált gyertyatartót.En: Carefully opening it, he was surprised to find the family relic he had been seeking: an old, finely crafted candlestick.Hu: Ezt az ősei készítették, és a családi történeteiket hordozta.En: It had been made by his ancestors and carried their family stories.Hu: Amikor visszatért a kocsihoz, János megosztotta a felfedezését Zsófiával és Erzsébettel.En: When he returned to the car, János shared his discovery with Zsófia and Erzsébet.Hu: A barátai csodálkozva hallgatták a történetet, és hirtelen úgy érezték, hogy ők is részesei ennek az örökségnek.En: His friends listened to the story in amazement, and they suddenly felt part of this heritage too.Hu: Az út hátralevő részében a három barát mélyebb beszélgetéseket folytatott.En: For the rest of the journey, the three friends engaged in deeper conversations.Hu: Szavaik az otthon, a kötődés és a történelem témái körül forgottak.En: Their words revolved around themes of home, connection, and history.Hu: A nap végére János újra érezte, hogy azokhoz a gyökerekhez kapcsolódik, amelyekről azt hitte, elvesztek.En: By the end of the day, János felt reconnecting with the roots he thought he had lost.Hu: Magabiztosabb lett abban, hogy megossza ezt az identitást a körülötte lévőkkel.En: He became more confident in sharing this identity with those around him.Hu: Zsófia és Erzsébet pedig inspirációt találtak János lelkesedésében, s azóta szívesebben fedezik fel saját kultúrájuk gazdagságát.En: Zsófia and Erzsébet found inspiration in János's enthusiasm, and since then, they've been more eager to explore the richness of their own culture.Hu: A Dunakanyar vörös és arany színeibe öltözve kísérte végig őket hazafelé, János pedig mosollyal az arcán nézett a távolba, tudva, hogy már nemcsak magának őrzi ezt az örökséget.En: The Dunakanyar dressed in reds and golds accompanied them all the way home, while János looked into the distance with a smile on his face, knowing that he no longer guards this heritage just for himself.

The episode highlights the emotional aftermath of Dani's first pregnancy, including the life-changing impact of her son's tragic loss and her journey through grief, sobriety, and rediscovering her sense of purpose as a mother. Dani describes how early parenting trends and online information influenced her choices—she candidly discusses how she embraced “all-natural” parenting, even using products later shown to be unsafe, and how she has since shifted to an evidence-based approach. Hilary and Dani emphasize that unplanned pregnancies are far more common than most people believe, and that being surprised by pregnancy doesn't make anyone less of a mom. Dani details her experience with home insemination using donor sperm as a cost-effective and empowering option for single women or couples with fertility challenges, demystifying and normalizing this choice. The conversation explores the stigma, criticism, and unsolicited advice Dani encountered online and in real life regarding her non-traditional paths to motherhood. Dani shares practical tips for others considering home insemination, including financial readiness, emotional support, and building a “village” before taking that step. The difficulties of navigating healthcare, especially when you're high risk or dissatisfied with your provider, are explored—Dani discusses real challenges in switching OBs, accessing support, and advocating for yourself during pregnancy. Dani and Hilary discuss the limitations—and some dangerous pitfalls—of using AI and online sources for pregnancy advice, and stress the value of trustworthy, evidence-based resources. Throughout the episode, the importance of compassion from healthcare providers, honest conversations, and finding the right support network for your unique pregnancy and parenting journey shines through.

Message Scriptures - Hebrews 4 : 12 -16,2 Kings 22 : 1 - 23 : 25

Introduction If you're returning to the series after our break, let me extend a warm welcome back as we begin this new season. As you may remember, we're preparing to launch the multi-pronged release of our next project, The NeuroHarmonic Method: Harmonize Your Intelligence – Transform Your Life. This work represents several years of focused effort to create a personal growth resource that the everyday person can understand and apply. It weaves together timeless insights from what has long been called the Wisdom of the Ages with the powerful findings of modern neuroscience, presenting it with enhanced scientific credibility. It is designed to spark meaningful, positive shifts in awareness that elevate every part of a person's life, regardless of previous training or time constraints. And critically, everything in the NeuroHarmonic Method is rooted in what I have studied and practiced for over fifty years. So, this is not just a set of abstract theories; it is verified by practical experience, tested across decades of living through diverse circumstances, and it only grows stronger with time, especially in the areas that matter most. We'll be exploring it in episodes throughout this new season and as a basic introduction, we're going to offer a few of its fundamental ideas for your consideration. As always with our podcast, take what resonates, set aside what doesn't, and notice what changes arise within, because the path of real inner growth is always based on individual self-discovery. Childhood Memories and the Power of Film Personally, in my own life, I've often found that the extraordinary reveals itself within the ordinary. With that in mind, let's look at some ordinary childhood memories of mine, which eventually revealed a set of questions to me that helped form the foundations of the way I began to look at life. So, when I was a boy—maybe six or seven—my older brother would take me to the Saturday matinees at a big neighborhood movie theater called the Benner, which was an easy walk from our house. Now, this was a very different time. For a quarter you could spend the afternoon wrapped in an adventure on the big screen, and for another dime, you could top it off with a generous box of popcorn. The ritual never changed. The music swelled, the house lights dimmed, the curtains parted, and suddenly we were transported into another world—larger than life in every way. Remember, this was still the fairly early days of television, which we watched on a little black-and-white 17-inch screen. And even that was seen to be a marvel! By contrast, in the theater, the images were enormous, the sound powerful, and each year the technology seemed more impressive. In that simple setting, with popcorn in hand and my feet barely reaching the floor, without knowing it, I absorbed certain themes that would shape me for the rest of my life. Yes, there were plenty of cowboy serials and cliffhangers, but every so often a real cinematic treasure would slip into the Saturday lineup. Even though I was far too young to understand them, I sat through classics like Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison, Witness for the Prosecution, and Anatomy of a Murder. Most of it was over my head, but the searing drama, augmented by the scale of the image, the light and the sound, created a total immersion that left quite an impression. Three Science-Fiction Masterpieces Among the countless movies I'd seen, three science-fiction masterpieces stood apart, striking me in a way that went far deeper than the rest. Looking back, I realize they were planting seeds within me — seeds that would eventually grow and inspire a lifelong quest for higher meaning. Those three films were Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Incredible Shrinking Man, and The Day the Earth Stood Still. In this episode, we're going to take a closer look at Invasion of the Body Snatchers. We'll save the other two films for a later time. But as we do, I invite you to see them not just as vintage sci-fi relics from a bygone era, but as vehicles that ask profound questions like: What is it that truly makes us human? Do we have an authentic self,  capable of bringing lasting fulfillment, or are we merely personas we construct to navigate the world? And is there something more to us than just body and mind — something connected to a greater reality, beyond time and space? The Story Unfolds So, Invasion of the Body Snatchers begins in a quiet California town, where people begin to suspect that some of their close friends and relatives suddenly don't seem to be quite themselves anymore. Nobody can quite describe the phenomenon but it's very strange. Outwardly, everything seems normal: people have the same faces, the same voices, the same routines. Yet something essential seems to be missing. Then, a troubling secret is revealed to the audience — the unsettling difference is that these oddly changed people actually have no emotions. No joy, no sorrow, no anger, no happiness — no feelings at all. None. Then an even more sinister revelation is revealed. Alien pods have begun appearing in garages, backyards, and basements. Over a short time, each pod morphs into an exact replica of the person it lies near. Once the replication process is complete and the targeted human falls asleep, the replicant executes a complete takeover. It absorbs everything — memories, thoughts, opinions, habits, even the most intimate gestures. By morning, the original human is gone, replaced by the replicant double. In a seamless transition, it steps into the former person's life as though nothing had changed. Everything is the same except the replicant feels nothing. Although it is hard to tell, the chilling truth is that it is, in essence, a living robot. The Replicant World As the replicant population grows, these new beings begin to communicate among themselves. They proclaim how much better life has become now that all inner feeling has been erased. To them, the truth is obvious: without emotions such as anger, jealousy, greed, lust, and fear, life runs more smoothly. With those troublesome impulses gone, they believe order can finally be established in the world. As the plot unfolds, some of the remaining humans begin to grasp the terrifying truth. Determined not to lose themselves to the emotionless replicants, they fight desperately against the spreading invasion. The tension escalates as the struggle becomes a battle for the very essence of humanity. In the original 1956 film, the story ends on a hopeful note, suggesting that the humans might prevail after all. But in the 1978 remake, the conclusion is far darker. There, the replicant doubles are shown to be unstoppable, destined to take over the world — leaving the human race, as we know it, doomed. Reflections and Questions When I first saw the remake, I was surprised — even unsettled — by the change in the ending. Why would the studio alter the story so drastically? What had shifted in those twenty-two years to move the perspective from hope to despair? Perhaps it was nothing more than market dynamics — after all, fear always sells better than hope. As the old newspaper adage goes: if it bleeds, it leads. But perhaps the shift points to something deeper — a reflection of the cultural mood at the time, or even a stage in the unfolding evolution of human consciousness. Maybe one day that perspective will shift again, back toward hope, as awareness continues to grow. Who knows? Anyway, for me as a child, even through the eyes of a seven-year-old, the film stirred something deeper. It made me begin to wonder about the phenomenon of inner feeling — and what it truly means to be human. Of course, without the burden of negative emotions like anger, jealousy, or fear, life might seem easier. But what about the positive feelings? Would they have to be erased as well? Talk about throwing the baby out with the bathwater! In essence, the peace the replicants proclaimed was deeply chilling. It painted a picture of a society where routines and order remained intact, but individual personhood quietly disappeared. Yes, such a world might look peaceful, quiet, and orderly — filled with well-behaved, human-like figures. But the “peace” being offered was really the peace of the grave: a world of perfect appearances, populated by flawless facsimiles. In reality, they were the walking dead. Fast Forward to Today So, given the warning sounded back in 1957, fast forward to our world today. Where are we now? We may not have alien pods growing in our basements, fashioning replacements for our bodies, but what have we become? And even more importantly, what are we becoming? Look around. So many of us have been absorbed — not by alien doubles, but by the ever-present glow of screens, from the smallest in our hands to the largest on our walls. Meanwhile, our attention is consumed by endless scrolling, fed by social feeds of sound bites, emojis, and dopamine-driven clicks. And all of this is fueled by the constant bombardment of commercial messaging designed to sell us products — a barrage that has now gone completely off the charts. Back in 1957, the average person was exposed to about 350 ads per day, or roughly 25 per hour. Of those, about 20% were problem-solving in nature, framed with a negative bias, while the other 80% were aspirational or lifestyle-based. Now today, the numbers have spiraled out of control. We are now hit with between 8,000 and 10,000 ads per day — about 600 ads per hour. Even more disturbing is the shift in tone: nearly 70% of these are negative, problem-solving ads built on anxiety and fear, while only 30% lean toward the positive. Put another way, each of us is now exposed to about five negatively framed ads every single minute of every waking day. That is a lot of negative messaging. And we don't even have time here to fully explore what that does to our thoughts, our feelings, and ultimately our sense of truly being human. The Human Question So, back to the two questions – what have we become? And what are we becoming? With this tech invasion the bottom line is that we seem to be less and less able to think for ourselves. And less able to feel the positive inner feelings that are at the very essence of our being. Oh sure, we have incredibly easy access to feelings – like anger, fear, outrage, cynicism, and frustration. We're so good at feeling bad that we can get into any negative state at the literal drop of a hat. But tenderness? Compassion? Wonder? It seems like they've been filed away in a dirty room in the basement. It has almost become a way of being — drifting into the haze of robotic conformity, marching to the beat of an overwhelmingly negative bias, and losing touch with the higher understandings that define what it truly means to be human. After all, both timeless wisdom and modern neuroscience remind us of the immense value of being touched once again by the better angels of our nature. The Remedy So, what's the remedy for this modern day invasion of the body snatchers? It is not more noise. Not more programming. Not more frantic searching. The remedy is rediscovery. Rediscovery of our higher nature. Rediscovery of positive thoughts and feelings. Rediscovery of the simple wonder of being alive in the now. And rediscovery of the Indwelling Presence that is always within you, waiting to be uncovered. This is not just poetry. Neuroscience confirms that practices of awareness and presence change the brain itself — strengthening circuits of compassion, focus, and resilience. Here the sages and scientists meet: the truth is that you are more than a body, more than a mind. You are consciousness itself, capable of awakening to your true nature. But of course, knowing this is not enough — it must be experienced. And this is where NeuroHarmonics enters the picture, with its blend of simple but profound understandings paired with practices that are clear, natural, and incredibly easy to integrate.

Beyond the Bad Trip: Psychedelics, Myth, and the Rediscovery of Spiritual HealthTalking with Dr. Thomas Cook, psychiatrist, writer, on navigating the crossroads science, spirituality, and myth. On psychedelics (“bad trips”) as way markers back to the natural state, as tools for dissolving the walls of modern state, on genuine religious connection. On depression ego inward-facing, a comforting puppet show of self-talk, and the bad trip as its opposite: a shattering, outward-facing vision that shocks us back into relationship with the world.On the modern epidemic of skepticism, rationalism, and invisibility, and how psychedelics remove the Ring of Power to return us to childlike awe, returning us to visible beings once again. On demons, entities, and Tolkien's Sauron as metaphors for the hidden darkness we deny. On Christianity, paganism, and the rediscovery of primal virtues through psychedelic experience.On the failures of the pharmacological model of psychiatry and the limits of mainstream science, on folk medicine and scientific humility, on microdosing and sacredness, and on building a moral framework sturdy enough to contain powerful experiences. On the value of different tools, on the dangers and risks of psychedelics, on other ways. On madness as non ego. On introjection, on family as the root of culture, broken homes as the source of modern illness, on monogamy, jealousy, and the natural laws embedded in the human soul.A conversation discussing Dr Cook's latest essay on “The Benefits of Bad Trips”, on psychological surgery, psychedelics as spiritual compasses and tools to reconnect with awe..Dr Cook's Essay: The Benefits of a Bad Triphttps://beyondmentalhealth.com/the-benefits-of-a-bad-trip/Dr Cook's Medical Practice2022 Leafbox Interview with Dr CookExcerptsOn His Latest Essay So the original motivation is to give a hardheaded, more traditionally psychoanalytic explanation for why a bad trip in particularly heals depression… Psychedelics free people not just from rationalism, but also from moralism and depression is a form of moralism. It's a moral disease. It's a moralistic disease, and science is not moralistic. It's ontological….On Skepticism I see the atheist skeptical position as similar to the depressed position. That miraculous, wondrous outwardness that you get from psychedelics, that psychedelics restore people to a genuine religiosity, not a fake one.And they may even break down a person with fake religiosity. I think if they use a psychedelic, it may terrify them that they're not a believer anymore. They now you're back to the square one. Now you're back to where you were when you were a little kid. And you might feel like you're a pagan again.You may go out in the yard and look at the flowers and be tempted to worship them. And that's not a bad thing. That's natural. That's all humanity as it's in its starting point. We, for, that's just the starting point in humanity. You have to have sympathy on it.On Universal Soul It's hippie dippy, but it's also Native American. It's also Catholic. It's also Pagan. It's also Roman. It's also Viking. It's also Samoan. It's also Eskimo. Just look around the world. What do people value the most is family and their souls and the state of their soul.Dr. Cook does not recommend the use of any federally illegal drug.

Let's pick them together."He: אליאנה ניסתה, אך תחושת הניתוק לא נעלמה.En: Eliana tried, but the feeling of disconnection did not disappear.He: כשהקטיף התקדם, ענני סערה הופיעו באופק.En: As the harvest progressed, storm clouds appeared on the horizon.He: הרוח התחזקה, והמשפחה הבינה שעליהם למהר.En: The wind grew stronger, and the family realized they needed to hurry.He: אליאנה ראתה בפניהם דאגה.En: Eliana saw the concern on their faces.He: "אני יכולה לעזור!" היא הכריזה פתאום, מפתיעה את עצמה.En: "I can help!" she suddenly declared, surprising herself.He: היא החלה לארגן את האנשים עם אנרגיה החלטית.En: She began to organize the people with determined energy.He: "בואו נתחלק לקבוצות, וכל אחת תטפל בעץ אחר."En: "Let's divide into groups, and each group will take care of a different tree."He: בתדהמה, כולם החלו לפעול יחד.En: Amazingly, everyone began to work together.He: הזיתים ניצלו, ובסוף היום המשפחה התכנסה לסעודת החג.En: The olives were saved, and at the end of the day, the family gathered for the holiday meal.He: שולחן הארוחה היה מלא בכל טוב - תפוחים בדבש, רימונים, וכל מה שמשמעות ראש השנה.En: The dining table was filled with all sorts of good things—apples in honey, pomegranates, and everything that symbolizes Rosh Hashanah.He: אליאנה צפתה במשפחה וצחקה איתם.En: Eliana watched her family and laughed with them.He: היא הרגישה שייכת.En: She felt like she belonged.He: היא הבינה שהיא יכולה לשלב בין העולם החדש שגילתה לבין הבית שהיא תמיד תאהב.En: She realized she could integrate the new world she had discovered with the home she would always love.He: כולם הודו לה על שנעמדה מנהיגה ברגע הקשה.En: Everyone thanked her for stepping up as a leader in a difficult moment.He: עם סיום הארוחה, אליאנה הרגישה שמחת לב יוצאת מן הכלל.En: As the meal ended, Eliana felt an extraordinary joy.He: היא מצאה מחדש את הקשר למשפחתה ולשורשים שלה, והבינה שמקומה הוא כאן, בלב הקהילה המסודרת והחמה של הקיבוץ.En: She had rediscovered her connection to her family and her roots and understood that her place was here, in the heart of the organized and warm community of the kibbutz.

In today's episode, Alan shares how a rare open Saturday—spent hiking into the Colorado mountains to fly-fish—quickly turned into another to-do list. He realized that our most life-giving pursuits (hobbies) are constantly at risk of becoming tasks we “have to” check off. In this conversation, Alan unpacks why hobbies are essential to flourishing, offers a framework for rediscovering them, and gives practical steps to reclaim joy, creativity, and rest in the midst of our busy “have-to” lives. What You'll Learn: Why Hobbies Matter: How leisure activities serve as mental rest, spark creativity, and renew passion for work and family. Focal Practices: The power of “idle,” present-moment activities that reconnect you to what truly matters. Benefits of Hobbies: From distraction of weighty issues to replenishment cycles that boost productivity. Rediscovery vs. Discovery: Tips for uncovering the hobbies you loved as a kid—or stumbling on new ones today. Practical Steps: How to schedule your first hobby session in two weeks—no guilt, no strings attached. Key Takeaways: Hobbies are “get-to” activities in a “have-to” world. Even large organizations credit “white-space” time for breakthroughs. Simple focal practices (gardening, evening walks, hammocking) anchor joy and presence. Your work, relationships, and well-being depend on carving out hobby time. Action Challenge: Block off a 2-hour window in your calendar this week for your rediscovered hobby—whether it's fly-fishing, woodworking, dancing, or simply sitting in a hammock—and notice how you feel afterward.

“There's something I find strangely moving about the ‘Extracts' section of Moby Dick—before we even get into the text—by virtue of the attention that has been paid to the whale,” writer Wyatt Mason says in this episode of The World in Time. “It's astonishing as you're reading through. It's proof of two kinds of life. It's proof of the life of the creature itself. But it's also proof of the life of the mind and the attention that we pay—meaning, we readers and we writers pay—through time to this creature, which is very different from the elephant because most of us never see one in our lifetimes. If we're fortunate, we might, but for the most part, no. So they reside or they live in texts.” With this episode, the second in an intermittent series on the literature, history, and science of the sea, The World in Time launches onto the waters of Moby Dick. The episode begins with excerpts from a pair of conversations Lewis Lapham recorded during his final years as host. First, Lapham speaks with Richard J. King about his 2019 book, Ahab's Rolling Sea: A Natural History of Moby-Dick. In the second excerpted interview, recorded in 2022, Lapham talks with Aaron Sachs about Up From the Depths: Herman Melville, Lewis Mumford, and Rediscovery in Dark Times. The episode concludes with a new conversation. Wyatt Mason and Donovan Hohn talk about the first time they read Moby Dick, about teaching Melville's novel to incarcerated students enrolled in the Bard Prison Initiative, and then, like a pair of sub-sub-librarians, they swim through two curious documents, “Etymologies” and “Extracts,” that precede the famous first sentence of Melville's tragic Leviathan American novel.

Gresham Harkless reflects on the challenges of a long and uncertain sales process, particularly in selling a business opportunity that lacks the clear, proven system of a traditional franchise.   He acknowledges the difficulty in balancing patience with the need for continuous improvement and occasional pivots, while also recognizing the value of sticking to what works.   Despite not having closed deals yet, Gresham celebrates small wins, such as successfully handing off prospects to his Zor and providing ongoing coaching.   Gresham plans to reinvigorate his approach starting on day 201 by joining a BNI networking chapter and focusing more on content creation, especially leveraging his podcast, to build momentum.

A Note from James:So the question is, I really feel that in order to get not good at something, but great at something, you have to be obsessed. You can't just wake up and decide to be obsessed—it has to be deep, almost irrational. Obsession is like addiction. It throws your life off balance, and yet... there's this insane joy when you enter the subculture of your obsession and get better at it.I've seen this recently in crypto. I saw it in chess in Norway, commenting on what might've been the best chess tournament ever. And I felt it again when I sat down with Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam from New In Chess.We didn't just talk about chess. We talked about obsession, aging, failing at something you love, and trying to find your place in a subculture that's moved on without you.If you care about learning, obsession, or just love chess, you're going to get something out of this episode. Dirk and I recorded this in Stavanger, Norway. I hope you love this conversation as much as I did being a part of it.Episode Description:What does it mean to return to your first love after nearly 30 years away? In this special crossover episode, James Altucher sits down with Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam, editor of New In Chess magazine, to reflect on his lifelong (and recently rekindled) obsession with chess. They explore how obsession shapes mastery, why wisdom sometimes trumps raw skill, and what it's like to try and reclaim an old identity as an older version of yourself.James opens up about losing games to kids half his age, obsessively chasing improvement, and why it still might be okay to fail—as long as the journey is honest. From teenage blitz tournaments to dinner with Garry Kasparov, from neuroscience to narrative writing, this episode is as much about how to live as it is about how to play.What You'll Learn:Why obsession is both a superpower and a dangerHow James approaches relearning chess after a 27-year breakWhat changes in the brain as we age—and how to work with itThe surprising ways chess opens doors in life, business, and writingWhy storytelling and vulnerability matter more than "success" aloneTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] The Power of Obsession[01:00] Travel Tales: Norway and Crypto[03:00] Chess Commentary and Podcasting with Dirk Jan[05:00] Dirk Jan's Intro on James Altucher[08:00] James' Curiosity and Love of Learning[10:00] Starting Chess at 17 and Becoming Addicted[13:00] Losing to Irena Krush and Facing Limits[17:00] Chess, Ego, and Real-World Consequences[22:00] How Chess Skills Apply to Business Problems[26:00] Writing as a Path Through Vulnerability[33:00] Returning to Chess: Memory, Aging, and Rediscovery[37:00] Eric Rosen, Coaches, and Mental Decline[41:00] Pattern Recognition vs. Calculation[47:00] What Makes Chess Players Unique[50:00] Interviewing Kasparov, Judit Polgar, Hikaru[56:00] Obsession and the Myth of Talent[58:00] Will the Book Get Written?[60:00] The James Altucher Invitational[62:00] Reflecting on the JourneyAdditional Resources:

Fluent Fiction - Swedish: Midsummer Mysteries: Linnea's Journey to Family Rediscovery Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-06-11-22-34-02-sv Story Transcript:Sv: Solen stringde sina varma strålar över det stora familjehuset i den lilla svenska byn.En: The sun cast its warm rays over the large family house in the small Swedish village.Sv: Trädgården var pyntad med färgglada dekorationer och doften av vilda blommor fyllde luften.En: The garden was adorned with colorful decorations, and the scent of wildflowers filled the air.Sv: Det var Midsommar, och hela familjen hade samlats för att fira.En: It was Midsummer, and the whole family had gathered to celebrate.Sv: Mitt i allt detta stod Linnea, som känt sig lite frånkopplad från familjen sedan hon flyttade till storstaden.En: Amidst it all stood Linnea, who had felt a bit disconnected from the family since she moved to the big city.Sv: Inne i huset rådde en behaglig kaos.En: Inside the house, there was a pleasant chaos.Sv: Barn sprang omkring, vuxna skrattade och pratade högt.En: Children ran around, adults laughed and talked loudly.Sv: Linnea kände en viss oro.En: Linnea felt a certain anxiety.Sv: Det var hennes första riktiga sommar tillbaka hemma, och hon ville så gärna bli accepterad och betrodd som den ansvarsfulla vuxna hon blivit.En: It was her first real summer back home, and she genuinely wanted to be accepted and trusted as the responsible adult she had become.Sv: Men så hände det oväntade—farmors gamla silverbrosch var borta.En: But then the unexpected happened—grandmother's old silver brooch was gone.Sv: Broschen var älskad och hade gått i arv i generationer.En: The brooch was beloved and had been passed down through generations.Sv: Underbara minnen kopplades till det glänsande smycket.En: Wonderful memories were linked to the shiny piece of jewelry.Sv: "Är det någon som sett broschen?"En: "Has anyone seen the brooch?"Sv: ropade Linnea över sorlet.En: Linnea called over the din.Sv: Snart flög frågor och spekulationer genom rummet.En: Soon, questions and speculations flew through the room.Sv: Var det farmor som hade städat undan den, eller kanske någon annan som lagt den på ett säkert ställe?En: Was it grandmother who had tidied it away, or perhaps someone else who had put it in a safe place?Sv: Linnea tog på sig att finna den.En: Linnea took it upon herself to find it.Sv: Hon bestämde sig för att prata med alla släktingar, börja med att retracera kärlekens väg hos de små barnen som gärna lekte klä-ut sig.En: She decided to talk to all the relatives, starting by retracing the path of affection with the little children who loved to play dress-up.Sv: Till hennes förskräckelse fick hon höra av hennes kusin Karin, att hennes lillebror Erik hade haft broschen när han lekte prinsessa.En: To her dismay, she heard from her cousin Karin that her little brother Erik had had the brooch when he played princess.Sv: Ett känslomässigt pussel började formas.En: An emotional puzzle began to form.Sv: Linnea följde spår utomhus och upptäckte att Erik varit i trädgården.En: Linnea followed tracks outside and discovered that Erik had been in the garden.Sv: Hon gick runt bland blommor och buskar och frågade Erik.En: She moved around the flowers and bushes and asked Erik.Sv: Han tittade skamset ner i marken.En: He looked shamefully down at the ground.Sv: "Jag hade den bara för en stund," mumlade han.En: "I only had it for a moment," he mumbled.Sv: Efter flera minuters letande hittade Linnea en liten blank del som stack upp ur jorden mitt i blomrabatten.En: After several minutes of searching, Linnea found a small shiny part sticking up from the soil in the middle of the flower bed.Sv: Där låg den, farmors älskade brosch, lite jordig men i gott skick!En: There it was, grandmother's beloved brooch, a bit dirty but in good condition!Sv: Med broschen i handen kände Linnea en otrolig lättnad.En: With the brooch in hand, Linnea felt incredible relief.Sv: Med snabba steg rusade hon tillbaka till huset.En: With quick steps, she rushed back into the house.Sv: "Jag hittade den!"En: "I found it!"Sv: ropade hon glatt, och en våg av lättnad strålade runt i rummet.En: she shouted joyfully, and a wave of relief radiated through the room.Sv: När de senare samlades runt bordet för den stora midsommartoasten, hängde farmors brosch på plats hos Linnéa.En: Later, when they gathered around the table for the grand Midsummer toast, grandmother's brooch hung in its place on Linnea.Sv: Hon insåg då något viktigt—det handlade aldrig om att bevisa något.En: She realized something important then—it was never about proving anything.Sv: Det var kärleken och banden till familjen som verkligen betydde något.En: It was the love and connections with the family that truly mattered.Sv: Plötsligt kändes allt mer hemma igen, och hon förstod att hon alltid hörde till i denna brokiga och älskvärda samling av folk.En: Suddenly, everything felt more like home again, and she understood that she always belonged to this motley and lovable group of people.Sv: Och så, under Midsommarnattens ljus, log Linnea när skratten och sångerna blandades med löftet om nya minnen tillsammans.En: And so, under the light of the Midsummer night, Linnea smiled as the laughter and songs mingled with the promise of new memories together.

"He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions." How are we supposed to understand the phrase "merciless Indian Savages" in the Declaration of Independence? In this episode, expert in American Indian history Prof. Matthew Kruer (U. of Chicago) gives a thorough analysis of indigenous-colonial relations from the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) through the Declaration of Independence (1776). Topics include the following: -The enormous diversity of the 574 indigenous nations recognized by the US Federal government -The Great Dying, which led to the death of 90% of the indigenous population of North America due to war, disease, and enslavement -The complexity and size of indigenous urban centers and trade networks -The consequences of the Seven Years' War (or the French and Indian War), which ended in 1763, for native peoples and colonists -The Proclamation of 1763, which demarcated settler country and Indian country -Pontiac's War (1764) and settler-Indian violence -The rise of the Black Boys, arguably the first violent anti-British imperial militia -Dunmore's War (1774), the conflict between Mingo and Shawnee against the Virginia Militia -Indigenous reactions to the Declaration The episode ends with a reflection on the tension between the ideals expressed in the Declaration and the characterization of native peoples as "merciless Indian savages." The books discussed in the episode are: Kruer, Matthew. Time of Anarchy: Indigenous Power and the Crisis of Colonialism in Early America. (2021, Harvard UP). Blackhawk, Ned. The Rediscovery of America: Native Peoples and the Unmaking of US History. (2023, Yale UP).
