Arthur Brooks is a Harvard professor, social scientist, and three-time New York Times bestselling author whose life's work centers on a single, urgent question: what actually makes a human life feel meaningful? In this conversation, we explore why depression and anxiety have surged since 2008, how technology has hijacked the part of the brain responsible for wonder and meaning, and what it looks like to live, as Arthur puts it, like his great-grandfather Leroy, present, bored at times, and genuinely alive.What moved me most in this conversation is how Arthur bridges the ancient and the scientific without losing either. We get into the three components of meaning, coherence, purpose, and significance, as well as the dangers of extrinsic reward, the psychology of calling, and why the formula most of us are running on is just slightly off. His answer to the meaning crisis is not complicated. Use things, love people, worship the divine. But getting there requires honest self-examination, and this conversation is a strong beginning.MUDWTR - Up to 43% off sitewide (and a free frother!)https://www.mudwtr.com/knowthyself[Code: KNOWTHYSELF]Try LMNT & get a free sample pack https://drinkLMNT.com/KnowThyselfBiOptimizers - Best magnesium to enhance your sleephttps://www.bioptimizers.com/knowthyselfUse code KNOWTHYSELF for 15% off at checkoutAndré's Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Introduction: Arthur Brooks01:54 The Modern Meaning Crisis02:47 Coherence, Purpose, and Significance06:17 Why Meaning Collapsed After 200814:19 The Doom Loop of Technology20:22 The Death of Boredom25:13 Ad: Mudwtr26:34 Living Like Leroy: The Case for Real Life30:05 Six Practices for the Right Hemisphere36:22 The Morning Routine and Brahma Mahurta43:35 Ad: LMNT44:39 Ad: BiOptimizers45:47 Breaking Free from Your Phone49:07 Romantic Love and the Paradox of Choice54:59 Finding Your Calling1:01:29 Progress, Arrival Fallacy, and Living Now1:17:22 Enjoyment, Satisfaction, and Meaning1:19:36 The External Scoreboard and Love Is Not Earned1:25:10 The Four Idols1:29:49 Self-Transcendence and the Divine1:37:40 Marriage, Adoption, and Walking to Heaven1:45:03 Suffering, Beauty, and Meaning1:53:59 Use Things, Love People, Worship the Divine___________Episode Resources: https://www.arthurbrooks.com/https://www.instagram.com/arthurcbrooks/https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com

Throughout most of history, marriage wasn't seen as something you did ‘for love'. We paired up for resources, family alliances and survival - so when did it change? In this episode, we explore the history of romantic love and how it's changed from ancient love poems and medieval knights, to Shakespeare and modern romcoms. DM us your thoughts, questions, topics, or to just vent at @triplejthehookup on IG or email us: thehookup@abc.net.auThe Hook Up is an ABC podcast, produced by triple j.

What's the difference between lust, limerence and love? Can love be addictive? Is romantic love technically even real? And if love is so natural to humans then why do we struggle with it? These are just a few of the questions we get answered by world renowned evolutionary anthropologist Dr Anna Machin, an expert whose research focuses on why we love.SHOW NOTES:Your love stories pod ep: Is Monogamy natural? pod ep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmlHf6yvSb4Where you can find Dr Machin's work: https://annamachin.com/DM us your thoughts, questions, topics, or to just vent at @triplejthehookup on IG or email us: thehookup@abc.net.auThe Hook Up is an ABC podcast, produced by triple j.

Lisa Rusczyk and Dona Murphy discuss the spirit of romantic love, why we love hard (sometimes it seems like too hard!), and Lisa's experience with being a Taurus during this astrology transition of Uranus leaving the sign of the bull for the twins. She has an aha! moment in the episode, as our regular guest Nichell had predicted earlier in the day on Instagram in a comment on her ad for another podcast she was going to do...

Send us Fan MailIn this week's minisode, I'm taking aim at one of the biggest lies we've been fed by Disney, romcoms and half the songs on the planet: that romantic love will save you. Spoiler alert: it won't. Yes, love can be gorgeous — but that early “I'm floating on air” feeling is often chemistry and fantasy, not a rescue mission. I talk about how we confuse intensity with compatibility, and why relationships can't fix loneliness, purpose, self-worth or emptiness — because you can't outsource your wholeness to another person. A healthy relationship can be a wonderful addition to your life, but real liberation comes when you stop needing one to feel complete and start building a life (and a relationship with yourself) that you genuinely love.

What if the real reason you feel stuck, anxious, or unfulfilled has nothing to do with your biohacking stack and everything to do with which half of your brain you're actually using? In this episode, Host Dave Asprey sits down with Harvard professor and bestselling author Arthur Brooks to reveal the neuroscience of meaning, consciousness, and why your left brain's obsession with optimization is quietly destroying your happiness and human performance. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR - Buy Arthur's new book “The Meaning Of Your Life” at: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/724315/the-meaning-of-your-life-by-arthur-c-brooks/ Arthur Brooks is a professor at both the Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School, where he teaches leadership and happiness.

His new book, The Meaning of Your Life: Finding Purpose in an Age of Emptiness, releases March 31, 2026. Brooks is one of the world's foremost experts on the science of human happiness. Dave and Arthur go deep on hemispheric lateralization, the rediscovered neuroscience showing your right brain holds everything that makes life worth living: meaning, mystery, consciousness, and the ineffable experiences that no AI, no nootropic, and no amount of fasting or sleep optimization can manufacture for you. They break down why the depression and anxiety epidemic is really a right-brain deficiency crisis, and why all the supplements, ketosis protocols, and functional medicine hacks in the world won't fix it if you're living entirely in your left hemisphere. This is a rare episode that bridges hard neuroscience with the deepest questions of human existence. Whether you're deep into anti-aging, neuroplasticity training, or Smarter Not Harder living, this conversation will change how you think about what you're actually optimizing for. You'll Learn: Why the mental health crisis is fundamentally a meaning crisis, and what your brain hemispheres have to do with it How technology, AI, and screen culture are suppressing the right hemisphere and wiring you for anxiety The six scientifically backed ways to open your right brain and unlock experiences of real meaning Why self-improvement fails without first understanding the neuroscience of how ideas install in the brain How suffering, handled correctly, is the single most powerful path to consciousness and purpose Why romantic love, beauty, and deep conversation are forms of neurological medicine What Dave's $2.5 million biohacking journey taught him about the limits of optimization The Buddhist physics of suffering: pain times resistance, and how to lower the resistance instead of the pain Thank you to our sponsors! - Danger Coffee | Grab yours at DangerCoffee.com and use code DAVEPOD at checkout for 15% off. - Screenfit | Get your at-home eye training program for 40% off using code DAVE at https://www.screenfit.com/dave. - Join My Low-Oxalate 30-Day Challenge: daveasprey.com/2026-low-ox-reset - Calroy | Go to Calroy.com/DAVE for exclusive discounts on Arterosil HP, Vascanox HP and all Calroy products.Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Valentine's Day has come and gone, but we're relentlessly reminded that romantic love ought to be the most important relationship in our lives. But in this conversation, evolutionary anthropologist Robin Dunbar, Emeritus Professor of Evolutionary Psychology at the University of Oxford, provides a more nuanced idea. We explore where humans sit evolutionarily between monogamy and polygamy, why pair bonding may have evolved as a protective strategy in large social groups, and why romance includes friendship and requires continued investment to remain stable. If we treat romantic partners as permanently secure family members we risk neglecting the very behaviors that sustain long-term bonds.

Romantic LOVE can be complex! Sometimes it expands, sometimes it shrinks, and sometimes it disappears altogether as if it never existed. Romantic love doesn't have to struggle through complexity. It can navigate through the high and lows, if we human beings, give it a strong foundation to stand upon, and we remain committed to keeping that foundation strong TOGETHER as a couple. Listen to the revelation, I had recently, about the three foundations that keep love thriving. Think about your current and past romantic relationships and see if they embodied these foundational elements. Is your current romantic relationship built on a foundation that can weather the storms of complexity or do you and your partner have some work to do?

Questions? Comments? Text Us!When can love—and even pain—become a form of revelation?In this powerful dialogue, Dr. Jerry L. Martin and Dr. Abigail L. Rosenthal trace the mysterious link between romantic love, moral conscience, and divine communication. Abigail shares two defining experiences of spiritual discernment: a moral act that cost her a lifelong family bond, and the unexpected moment she realized she was falling in love. Both called for the same inner movement—trusting what had her name on it.Jerry reflects on his own “Why me?” experience of revelation, exploring how trust bridges the human and divine, and how moral courage and love alike can summon the soul toward its destiny. Together, they ask: How do we recognize the voice of God when it speaks through ordinary life? When is trust not blind, but a sacred form of clarity?Drawing on philosophy and lived experience—from Aristotle and Husserl to the dream world of conscience—Jerry and Abigail reveal that divine communication doesn't always arrive in thunder. Sometimes, it whispers through the courage to act, or the surrender to love.This episode invites you into a deeply human and spiritual conversation—where reason and revelation meet the heart.#godanautobiographythepodcast #jerryandabigailanintimatedialogue #spiritualdiscernment #divinerevelation #truecalling #spiritualgrowth #philosophyandfaith #moralcourage #spiritualpodcastRelated Content:252.

He has a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and a Bachelor of Laws from the Australian National University. He is currently enrolled in a PhD in Biological Anthropology at the Australian National University's School of Archaeology and Anthropology and holds a position as a Sessional Academic at Federation University Australia in the Institute of Health and Wellbeing. Adam is a proponent of a new approach to the science of romantic love which takes a broad definition of romantic love, uses an ethological framework, and suggests it evolved by co-opting mother-infant bonding. In this episode, we talk about romantic love. We start by discussing what it is, an interdisciplinary approach to love, and whether it is a human universal. We then go through Tinbergen's 4 questions applied to romantic love. We discuss whether romantic love is an evolved adaptation, the evolutionary history of romantic love, and Adam's hypothesis that romantic love evolved by co-opting mother-infant bonding.

In her new memoir, The Dry Season, Melissa Febos (award-winning author of Girlhood) examines her (and our culture's) relationship to love, to falling in love with someone, to being in love with someone. Today, we talk about why she decided to spend a year celibate after a particularly rough breakup, and what more she wanted from a relationship, from herself, and for her life. We talk about being conditioned to be codependent, the lovely things that have happened in our own long-term relationships when we've gone off script, what it actually means to be a people pleaser—and more.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!Welcome to the debut of a new series: Jerry and Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue, a conversation between two philosophers who are also deeply in love. This is not just a love story. It is an exploration of what love means at the level of reality itself.In this episode, Dr. Abigail L. Rosenthal and Dr. Jerry L. Martin ask a question deeply human and spiritually profound: What is love and what does it reveal about the nature of the world we live in?Through personal recollection, philosophical reflection, and cultural insight, they explore:The stroke of lightning: Romantic love as a break in the surface of realityWhy biblical love stories begin the work of GodRachel as the sine qua non of sacred historyLove as an ontological force more than emotion, embedded in beingSpiritual meaning beyond religion, through feeling, intuition, and integrityCultural contrasts: European vs. American views on love, purpose, and compatibilityThe role of gratitude, authenticity, and moral seriousness in real connectionWhat it means to live in a disenchanted world and how love re-enchants it"Love is not a delusion. It is what moves the sun and the other stars.” – Abigail L. RosenthalJerry and Abigail remind us that truth is not always found in the dominant worldview. Often, it comes from moments that break through: a glance, a conversation, a shared fight for something that matters.This intimate dialogue speaks to those who live at the edge of conventional categories, those who are spiritual but not religious, seekers of meaning, lovers of wisdom.If you've ever felt there must be more to love than psychology, more to life than surface logic, this is your episode.Begin here.

Can friendship outlast romantic love? To answer this BIG Question Jess Rowe is joined by Best Selling Author and Podcaster Holly Wainwright for a joyful deep-dive into the power of platonic love, the heartbreak of friend breakups, and why our soulmates might just be our best friends. Jess and Holly get real about the ups and downs of long-term friendships and why they need just as much care as romantic relationships.

In this enlightening episode of Father and Joe, hosts Father Boniface and Joe Rockey delve into the profound concept of the "Perfection of Love" and its implications in our daily lives. Building on previous discussions about drawing closer to Mary and Jesus, this episode explores the multifaceted nature of charity and how it manifests differently in each individual's life. Father Boniface clarifies the church's technical use of the term "charity," derived from the Latin "Caritas," which transcends mere acts of giving to embody the perfection of love.The conversation navigates through the complexities of human relationships, emphasizing that no two relationships are the same due to the infinite ways we can interact with one another. Father Boniface highlights Pope Benedict's teachings on how various forms of love—self-emptying service, love of country, family, friendship, and romantic love—find their ultimate fulfillment in Christ. This episode challenges listeners to reflect on their motivations and actions, urging them to strive for a genuine concern for all, as exemplified by Christ's love.The hosts discuss practical scenarios, such as prioritizing family responsibilities over immediate acts of charity, and how these decisions reflect our interior motivations. They encourage listeners to be honest with themselves about their motivations and to seek growth in virtue by expanding their hearts and interior freedom. The episode underscores that growing in virtue is a gradual process, requiring honesty, prayer, and a willingness to step outside of comfort zones.Listeners are invited to contemplate their own lives and consider how they can move towards the perfection of love, not as a one-time achievement but as a continuous journey. Father Boniface and Joe Rockey provide actionable insights and encourage a mindset of openness and growth, fostering a deeper union with God and others.Perfection of Love, Charity, Virtue, Spiritual Growth, Father Boniface, Joe Rockey, Podcast, Faith, Relationships, Self-Reflection, Motivation, Pope Benedict, Caritas, Holiness, Love, Spiritual Direction, Daily Life, Free Will, Jesus, Mary, Jubilee of Hope, Self-Emptying Service, Love of Country, Love of Family, Love of Friendship, Romantic Love, Christ, Interior Freedom, Virtue Development, Moral Law, Galatians, Spiritual Journey, Prayer, Comfort Zones, Self-Improvement, Compassion, Empathy, Spirituality, Faith Journey, Christian Living, Personal Growth, Community, Service, Love in Action#PerfectionOfLove, #Charity, #Virtue, #SpiritualGrowth, #FatherBoniface, #JoeRockey, #Podcast, #Faith, #Relationships, #SelfReflection, #Motivation, #PopeBenedict, #Caritas, #Holiness, #Love, #SpiritualDirection, #DailyLife, #FreeWill, #Jesus, #Mary, #JubileeOfHope, #SelfEmptyingService, #LoveOfCountry, #LoveOfFamily, #LoveOfFriendship, #RomanticLove, #Christ, #InteriorFreedom, #VirtueDevelopment, #MoralLaw, #Galatians, #SpiritualJourney, #Prayer, #ComfortZones, #SelfImprovement, #Compassion, #Empathy, #Spirituality, #FaithJourney, #ChristianLiving, #PersonalGrowth, #Community, #Service, #LoveInAction

We tend to consider romantic partners and family ties to be our most important relationships, but deep friendships can be just as meaningful. In a perspective-shifting talk, author Rhaina Cohen introduces us to the people unsettling norms by choosing a friend as a life partner — and shows why we're all better off recognizing there's more than one kind of significant other.

[video available on spotify] is it just me, or is it starting to feel like romantic love is an illusion? i'm starting to question the concept of romantic love and what that experience is for us as humans because of my own life experiences, but also because the statistics are pretty damning. according to the american psychological association, approximately 40 to 50% of first marriages end in divorce. it's so fascinating to me that something so fundamental to human life seems destined to fail. as i'm maturing and facing these realities, i can't help but ask the question, why? and my brain immediately goes to, well, romantic love must just be an illusion.
