Ever feel like you're drowning in information but starving for wisdom? You've got endless tabs open, podcasts playing, books piling up—and yet when it comes time to make that big decision, your brain feels like scrambled eggs. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I share the number one reason entrepreneurs make bad decisions and how you can stop it. I'm talking about decision fatigue, information overload, and the chaos that comes from running on autopilot without creating space for clarity. I also share my simple but powerful 3-Day Clarity Quest framework, a process that's helped me (and many others) slow down, reset, and make better decisions that lead to more income, impact, and alignment.Here's the truth: your brain is a gold mine, but you can't dig out the treasure if it's buried under junk. Studies show entrepreneurs consume 34 gigabytes of info daily. The average person makes 35,000 decisions a day. And decision fatigue alone can decrease your brain's efficiency by 40%. No wonder so many people are stuck in hustle mode, making poor choices.But here's the kicker: clarity doesn't come from more hustling—it comes from space. That's why I retreat into the Montana backcountry with no cell service, no screens, and no distractions. Just nature, stillness, and a journal. That's where I developed the Clarity Quest framework, and it's what I want to share with you today.Here are some of the big takeaways:Clarity comes from stillness, not from grinding harder. Your best ideas live in the space between distractions.Day 1 is about detox and declutter. Shut off the noise. Journal out every thought. Delete the top three distractions holding you back.Day 2 is nature immersion and stillness. Spend hours outside. Hike, sit by water, meditate. Let your mind breathe and reset.Day 3 is harvest and action mapping. Review your insights. Create a simple, time-blocked game plan. And this is crucial: attach consequences to your commitments. Because consequences create commitment.Confusion costs cash. Clarity creates cash flow. When you're clear, your productivity and decision-making power skyrocket.I'm not saying you have to run off to Montana and poop in the woods to make better choices (though, hey, I recommend it). You can adapt this framework wherever you are. The key is creating intentional space, giving your brain a reset, and approaching life and business decisions with clarity—not chaos.If you've been overwhelmed, second-guessing, or stuck on autopilot, this episode will be a game-changer. Do the 3-Day Clarity Quest, and you'll start making decisions faster, better, and more aligned with the life you actually want to create.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

It's a short treatment – nine weeks – and an even shorter read – fifteen pages – and so the story of this English governess haunted by phantom smells often goes neglected. But as Abby and Patrick explain, her case marks a key shift in Freud's clinical practice (away from hypnosis) and a succinct demonstration of his core therapeutic techniques. Lucy R's case also suggests something profound about the interlocking relationships between memories and repression, and between the history of symptoms and the course of treatment. Plus: noses, a rare novel about Lucy's nose, and tantalizing connections to Henry James's novella The Turn of the Screw about the haunting (or madness) of an English governess.Have you noticed that Freud is back?

The Theological Metaphors of Marx (Duke UP, 2024) by Enrique Dussel – A Conversation with Camilo Pérez-Bustillo and Eduardo Mendieta In The Theological Metaphors of Marx, Enrique Dussel provides a groundbreaking combination of Marxology, theology, and ethical theory. Dussel shows that Marx unveils the theology of capitalism in his critique of commodity fetishization. Capitalism constitutes an idolatry of the commodity that undergirds the capitalist expropriation of labor. Dussel examines Marx's early writings on religion and fetishism and proceeds through what Dussel refers to as the four major drafts of Capital, ultimately situating Marx's philosophical, economic, ethical, and historical insights in relation to the theological problems of his time. Dussel notes a shift in Marx's underlying theological schema from a political critique of the state to an economic critique of the commodity fetish as the Devil, or anti-God, of modernity. Marx's thought, impact, and influence cannot be fully understood without Dussel's historic reinterpretation of the theological origins and implications of Marx's critiques of political economy and politics. Enrique Dussel (1934–2023) was Emeritus Professor, Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa, and the author of many books, including Twenty Theses on Politics and Ethics of Liberation: In the Age of Globalization and Exclusion, both also published by Duke University Press.Camilo Pérez-Bustillo is coauthor of Human Rights, Hegemony, and Utopia in Latin America.Eduardo Mendieta is Professor of Philosophy and Latina/o Studies at Pennsylvania State University. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

Class is back in session, Ladies — one more time (for now)! Sarah wraps up her studies at Concordia University Irvine's Townsend Institute for Counseling and Leadership as she revisits her capstone project on humor in the workplace and celebrates the completion of her M.A. in organizational leadership. She also gives Erin and Rachel an eye-opening crash course in different types of humor and how they contribute (or don't) to workplace morale, team building, and productivity. Is your favorite style of humor affiliative, self-enhancing, self-defeating, or aggressive? Listen in to find out what those terms mean and which is your default — and learn, too, about how to optimize your use of humor to bring people together and get things done. “I hope you're inspired to think about humor in a different way,” says Sarah. “Being funny, witty, or engaging in banter isn't just a cute thing to do. It has real positive impacts not only in the workplace, but in relationships and in your own mental health.” At the end of the episode, Sarah announces her next big academic adventure: Concordia Seminary's Online Deaconess Studies program.

Every week across the U.S. more than two newspapers go out of business. In the past two decades more than 3,000 papers have shut down operations. That's left more than 1,500 counties so-called news deserts. Forty-three of West Virginia's 55 counties have just one local news source and that limited access gives the state a ranking of 46th out of all 50 states. Studies show when local news sources vanish, the result is a drop in community participation on many levels. On the next episode of Us & Them, host Trey Kay visits some regional news deserts to talk about the way local news organizations help a community see and define itself. Some say local coverage is the glue that brings a place together and in Putnam County the Hurricane Breeze continues to offer essential local news while in Greenbrier County, a startup is working to bring back that voice.
My sleep habits started to change in my 40s. Then came my 50s, and my sleep got even worse. What changed in my life? Hormones, stress levels, menopause, and, oh yes, cancer.:( However, I recorded a podcast with Dr. Henry Ealy, and the direction of our conversation surprised me. He started discussing the importance of connecting with the Earth on a daily basis. I consider myself a crunchy gal, but even I found myself rolling my eyes at that! I also know that being outside has never failed to lift my spirits and lower my stress levels. I never knew that going outside barefoot was called Earthing or Grounding. I admit, these words sound a bit "woo-woo" to me. And then, I found a research study that discussed the importance of physical connection with the Earth. Why, you ask? The Earth carries an electric charge. This negative charge can then be absorbed by the body (which is beneficial), and studies have shown that it can help improve sleep quality, reduce inflammation, and even lower stress levels. ______ Parafy worm kit Here's the link to purchase the parasite cleanse from Kim Rogers: https://rogershood.com/ref/85/0 Use the code: DENOS10 You get 10% off your purchase!Just click the link to grab yours.

After my skepticism passed, my desperation to sleep took over. I began reading articles and discovered that the science is solid. Studies have shown that participants who use grounding sheets experience a significant decrease in cortisol levels, resulting in improved sleep quality and reduced stress. What did I have to lose? I researched, found the best grounding sheets on the market for the best price, and bought them. It took me a few nights, but I sleep much more deeply now. I fall asleep faster and wake up feeling refreshed! I wish someone had told me about these sheets years ago. https://groundluxe.com/deborahenos Use the code Enos15 for 15% off.

Is there an ethical way to do religion? That's one of the many topics we explore in the newest podcast episode with Ann Russo, LCSW, founder and clinical director of AMR Therapy. As a queer phycologist with a MA in Theology, Ann speaks to what religious trauma is, how it affects the body and brain, and how to navigate and heal from religious trauma. From growing up in a secret queer household in the 80's and 90's to entering religion herself, Ann shares personal stories that inform the way she's able to help others today. Religious trauma can look differently for everyone, and today's episode is a reminder that you're not alone. Tune in for venerability, science-backed explanations, and a path forward. “Studies show that queer folks have higher rates of mental illness, suicide, and drug abuse. Some church folks like to say it's because you're queer.

This episode wraps up the month's theme on manufacturing intelligence by tying together the insights from previous episodes and putting them into the context of real plant-floor projects.Vlad begins with an in-depth story from his time at Procter & Gamble, where he led an energy monitoring project with the ambitious goal of reducing power consumption by 20 percent. He explains the practical challenges of turning a corporate initiative into an actionable plant-level strategy, from limited baseline data to deciding between standalone meters and integrated monitoring solutions. Vlad shares the lessons learned in balancing cost, data ownership, and scalability, and why a more open solution can sometimes offer greater long-term value than proprietary systems.Dave then takes us into the world of pet food manufacturing, where millions of dollars in raw materials can be lost each year due to inaccurate batching and poor measurement practices. He walks through the process of defining the problem, setting up data collection without overhauling legacy systems, and using that information to identify overages, improve tolerances, and design remediation strategies. The conversation dives into practical engineering decisions, such as when to invest in VFDs for precision dosing, when to redesign process equipment, and how to ensure data insights lead to lasting operational changes.The discussion expands into organizational challenges, including why decision-makers often lack actionable visibility into losses, how to present findings in terms of tangible business impact, and the cultural shift required to actually use the data once it is available. Vlad and Dave also explore examples from discrete manufacturing, where OEE tracking and daily direction setting (DDS) meetings help guide capital allocation, continuous improvement initiatives, and team alignment. They share observations on why some facilities succeed with these systems while others fall back into old habits.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Episode 221 and monthly theme recap02:00 Vlad's background and approach to modernization projects04:50 Dave's background and focus on data-driven manufacturing solutions06:30 Recap of previous episodes on data collection, historians, and MTP/MCP07:30 Vlad's Procter & Gamble energy monitoring project case study13:40 Addressing power blips, capacitor banks, and ROI considerations19:10 Choosing between proprietary and open monitoring solutions23:40 Dave's pet food manufacturing story and raw material variance29:50 Methods for data collection without disrupting legacy systems34:20 Improving accuracy, process changes, and remediation strategies44:00 Organizational challenges in acting on data insights52:00 OEE, DDS meetings, and capital allocation in discrete manufacturing59:50 Predictions for the future of manufacturing intelligence and AI integrationReferences MentionedIgnition by Inductive Automation – https://inductiveautomation.com/Ignition Community Conference (ICC) – https://icc.inductiveautomation.com/Procter & Gamble – https://us.pg.com/Rockwell Automation – https://www.rockwellautomation.com/Mettler Toledo – https://www.mt.com/Badwater Ultramarathon – https://www.badwater.com/“Can't Hurt Me” by David Goggins – https://davidgoggins.com/book/About the HostsVlad Romanov works with manufacturers to modernize operations by bridging the gap between legacy systems and today's technology.

In today's episode, we take a deep dive into the essence of early Christianity—before it became intertwined with the Roman Empire and cult of Messianic Judaism. We're stripping away the grandeur, the pageantry, and the complex theology of later traditions to explore a simpler, more intimate form of the faith. This is a time when Christianity was defined not by cathedrals or massive religious institutions, but by small house churches, humble leaders, and a singular gospel.Join us as we discuss the Pre-Nicene Christians, who were not bound by the later, Judaized versions of Christianity but held firm to a faith centered on Paul's singular gospel, written in 34 A.D., long before the four anonymous gospel accounts we know today. This early Christian movement was focused on the teachings of Jesus, with an emphasis on the concept of God as "Our Father" and a direct connection between Christ's earthly life and his divine nature.We'll also take a closer look at the first Christian Bible, as transcribed by Saint Marcion in 144 A.D.—an early canon free from the Old Testament's Torah scriptures. The Pre-Nicene Christian way of life was one of simplicity, with house churches and presbyters at the forefront. These early believers lived in relative anonymity, using their home gatherings to avoid persecution from the Roman Empire, which sought to stamp out the faith. In fact, we'll explore the fascinating history of the Dura-Europos house church, the oldest Christian house church in the world, and the artifacts that reveal how these early communities worshipped in secrecy.Finally, we'll reflect on the role of the presbyter—how these leaders, unlike today's priests, were grounded solely in Christian teachings, never distracted by the merging of Judeo-Christian traditions that would come centuries later.This episode takes you back to a time when Christianity was not a state religion but a humble, resilient movement that survived through simplicity and faith. Tune in for a fresh perspective on the early days of Christianity—before it became what we know today.The first Christian Bible of 144 A.D.https://www.theveryfirstbible.org/Presbyter Traininghttps://www.marcionitechurch.org/Presbyter-Training.htmlMass, Baptism, and Prayers of the First Christians (2020)https://payhip.com/b/7ZQqJournal of Pre-Nicene Christian Studies ISSN: 3068-8469https://journal.pre-nicene.org/Marcionite Churchhttps://www.marcionitechurch.org/Pre-Nicene Christian Ecclesiahttps://www.pre-nicene.org/Watch Marcionite Masshttps://www.youtube.com/@EgliseMarcioniteWilliams, R.

In this episode, we explore how The Tempest reflects—and at times challenges—patriarchal power structures in Shakespeare's world and in its performance history. First, we examine how Prospero's control over Miranda, Ariel, and Caliban reflects early modern ideas and debates about gender, political authority, and service. Then, we look at how changing the gender of Prospero reshapes the play's dynamics, how productions across stage and screen have used gender to reimagine magic, hierarchy, and power, and what the critical response to these productions reveals about modern gender politics.

In this groundbreaking episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Tobias Kohler, a professor of urology at the Mayo Clinic, to discuss a topic most people are afraid to talk about: men's sexual health.Dr. Kohler shares eye-opening insights, backed by over two decades of clinical experience and research, on the powerful link between foundational health habits and male sexual function. They reveal why erectile dysfunction is a critical "check engine light" for heart disease and how building muscle and exercising can improve not just your erections, but your overall longevity.This conversation goes beyond simple fixes, providing actionable, science-based information that every man needs to hear.This episode is brought to you by: Puori - Get 20% off sitewide with code DRLYON → https://puori.com/DRLYON Cozy Earth - Use code DRLYON for up to 40% off - https://cozyearth.comBONCHARGE - Use code DRLYON for 15% off your entire order - https://boncharge.com/DRLYONOneSkin - Get 15% off with the code DRLYON – https://www.oneskin.coChapters0:00 - Link between muscle mass & erections0:52 - Erectile function1:13 - The truth about penis size & penile implants2:32 - The foundational pillars of men's health8:48 - Erectile dysfunction is an early sign of heart disease16:14 - The role of anxiety, alcohol & cannabis on ED24:29 - The "use-it-or-lose-it" organ29:31 - The truth about PDE5 inhibitors (Viagra & Cialis)46:46 - The "C"s of urinary frequency54:43 - The connection between muscle, testosterone & sexual function1:02:07 - Is there a point of no return for penile health?Erections: A “Check Engine Light” for Your HealthOne of the most striking points from the discussion was Dr. Kohler's perspective on erectile dysfunction (ED). He described it not just as a sexual problem, but as one of the earliest "check engine lights" for heart disease. The blood vessels leading to the penis are much smaller than those in the heart. As we age, plaque can build up in these vessels. This process, known as atherosclerosis, affects the smaller vessels first.This means if you're experiencing persistent issues with erections, it's a strong indicator that you may have vascular problems that could soon affect your heart. As Dr. Kohler put it, "If the penis is failing, you should assume you're going to have problems with your heart soon until proven otherwise." The good news is that anything good for your heart—like exercise and a healthy diet—is also good for your penis.The "Use-It-or-Lose-It" OrganThe conversation also tackled the surprising phenomenon of penile shortening. When the penis goes into a "garage" for an extended period—meaning there is a consistent lack of erections—it can lose length. Dr. Kohler shared that a consistent lack of erections for just three months can lead to a loss of 1-2 centimeters in length due to the formation of scar tissue. This is why he calls the penis a "use-it-or-lose-it" organ. The key to maintaining penile health is to exercise the penis through erections, and tools like a vacuum erection device can be used for penile rehabilitation.Muscle Mass, Testosterone, and Sexual FunctionFor many men, this is where the conversation gets personal. Dr. Kohler highlighted the direct correlation between muscle mass and erectile quality. Studies show that men with more muscle mass have better erections and higher testosterone levels. The reverse is also...
Episode 106 of Trail Society opens with the hosts catching up after a busy stretch of travel, training, and transitions, sharing experiences from Alaska fast-packing, Wyoming family visits, and runs on hometown singletrack. The conversation then shifts to the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, highlighting Pauline Ferrand-Prévot's long-awaited victory and the breadth of her multi-discipline cycling career. While her win came after a calculated, team-guided performance plan that included a 4 kg weight reduction, the hosts discuss how such strategies can raise health concerns, especially in a sport with a history of under-fueling and the belief that “lighter is always better.” They explore the risk that focusing on weight, both in training and in media coverage, can perpetuate unhealthy body standards, particularly for young women who may try to emulate elite athletes without the same medical oversight or resources. The discussion considers how to balance performance optimization with athlete well-being and how coverage could better reflect the complexity of such decisions. The episode also examines new research on self-efficacy and fatigue, showing how endurance limits are influenced by the brain's ability to predict and sustain effort. Studies on subliminal cues suggest that positive mental inputs can extend performance, reframing fatigue as partly a perception-driven process. Listener “Society Slams” bring forward concerns about limited access to women's race coverage, suggestions for scenic, low-altitude trail races ideal for groups, and lighthearted reflections on dream race snacks that don't sit well mid-run. Through these segments, the episode blends athlete health, sports science, and community conversation.

Historically Black colleges and universities have played a vital role in educating generations of students. But today, enrollment among Black males at HBCUs is at its lowest level since the mid-1970s. Studies indicate that when Black men disengage from HBCUs and higher education, the consequences are far-reaching. We examine the impact, why this is happening, what schools are doing to combat it and more.

She has garnered appreciation for her analytical approach and commitment to empowering listeners to make informed health decisions. Episode Summary: Join Dr. Kristin Hieshetter as she delves into the critical connection between alcohol consumption and breast cancer on this episode of Functional Health Radio. As alcohol use remains prevalent, understanding its health implications becomes crucial, especially in light of emerging research. Dr. Kristin examines the cultural shifts in alcohol consumption and the heightened awareness about its potential risks, leading into an in-depth discussion based on recent medical findings. In this informative episode, Dr. Kristin highlights the sobering reality illustrated by recent studies, showcasing the increased risk of breast cancer associated with alcohol consumption. From alcohol's biological impact on estrogen levels to its epidemiological connection to various cancers, listeners will gain a comprehensive understanding of the inherent health risks. Dr. Kristin also provides practical advice on reducing these risks, emphasizing mindful consumption and advocating for better dietary and lifestyle choices to mitigate cancer risks. Key Takeaways: Alcohol is widely consumed but poses significant health risks, including increased cancer risk, particularly breast cancer. Studies reveal that every 10-gram increase in alcohol consumption raises breast cancer risk significantly. Alcohol contributes to numerous cancer types, raising estrogen levels, which can exacerbate cancer risk, especially in post-menopausal women. Reducing alcohol intake can significantly lower cancer risk, encouraging more mindful drinking habits. Mocktails, like a raspberry basil concoction, provide healthy, antioxidant-rich alternatives to alcohol. Notable Quotes: "People are just using [alcohol] to medicate, right? Like, well, screw it. The virus is still here, and it's snowing again. I'm gonna have myself a beverage." "Alcohol causes three out of four of those genetic mutations. Scary, right?" "If there's anything you can do to prevent from ever needing cancer or chemotherapy, I want to be in your corner helping coach you through that process." "Be safe, everybody. Okay? So these different patterns of alcohol drinking may have different effects on breast cancer." "One beverage a day raises your risk 200%. Say it again. Have a beverage on a holiday. Have a beverage once a month." Resources: PubMed - Source of numerous studies including data on alcohol and cancer.

Most of us have not been taught how to handle conflict well. We've learned how to shut down, lash out, avoid, or pretend—but not how to lean in with love and truth.And this is a problem—because difficult conversations aren't going away. They're part of life. Whether you're dealing with a strained relationship, tension at work, or just trying to talk through different perspectives—learning how to communicate across discomfort is essential.Studies show that, in personal relationships, fear of conflict is one of the top reasons people avoid necessary conversations, often leading to resentment, broken trust, and missed opportunities for growth.So today, we're digging into how to not just have those conversations—but how to hear them with grace and self-awareness. And my brilliant guest today does this work for a living.

Culture is selling our kids a pack of lies every single day—are they buying? In this must-listen episode of Christian Parent/Crazy World, host Catherine Segars tackles one of the most pressing challenges facing Christian parents today: the pervasive, culture-wide lies targeting our children’s hearts and minds. As parents, recognizing and uprooting these falsehoods is essential if we want to raise godly kids in an ungodly world. Catherine is joined by Elizabeth Urbanowicz, founder of Foundation Worldview—a curriculum dedicated to equipping parents and children to rightly interpret Scripture, think critically, and recognize truth. With dual master’s degrees in literacy education and Christian apologetics, Elizabeth brings both academic rigor and biblical foundation to the conversation. In this “Best Of” episode, Elizabeth counts down the TOP 7 LIES that culture is selling our kids, including: If I feel it, it must be true. Follow your heart. Love is affirming everything I feel. Faith is the opposite of knowledge. Humans are the product of blind, unguided evolution. You are the one you’ve been waiting for. A good God wouldn’t judge. Elizabeth and Catherine don’t just name the lies—they empower parents with practical, age-appropriate strategies to expose these cultural deceptions and ground children in biblical truth. Learn how to turn conversations (and even family games!) into teachable moments, helping kids discern between feeling and fact, and equipping teens to logically walk through real-life scenarios that challenge what is true, right, and loving. One powerful quote:“Our emotions shouldn’t be negated, and they shouldn’t be followed. They should be discerned.” – Elizabeth Urbanowicz COUPON CODE: Use the coupon code “CPCW10” to get $10 off any family license with Foundation Worldview.

In this heartfelt episode, I share a story of one of my clients who chose to live as if she was cured—even while waiting for a PET scan. Her courage and clarity inspired this conversation about mindset, belief, and the science behind choosing peace in uncertain moments. We'll explore: The difference between what's true and what fear tells us The emotional and biological cost of staying in survival mode Studies that show how belief and agency improve healing outcomes How to anchor into peace with simple daily practices Why the story you tell yourself is powerful medicine Plus, I'll leave you with a reflective journal prompt to help you shift your mindset the next time fear creeps in. This is a must-listen for breast cancer survivors and anyone learning to live in the space between healing and uncertainty.

بیدار شدنِ هر صبح زیر آسمانی که از دیشب سنگینتر به نظر میرسد یعنی چه؟ یعنی دوستداشتنِ سیاره آنقدر عمیق که خبرهای شبانه مثل پایانِ یک رابطه دل را میشکند، و در عین حال آنقدر هوشیار ماندن که هنوز بتوان برای نجاتش جنگید. در قسمت این هفته، سراغ کتاب «نسلِ وحشت: یافتن معنا در عصر بحران اقلیمی» نوشتهی پژوهشگر اضطرابِ اقلیمی بریت رِی میرویم؛ اثری که هراس را بیماری فردی نمیبیند، بلکه آن را ندایی جمعی میداند که نیاز به شنیده شدن دارد. رِی با پیوندِ عصبشناسی، روانشناسی و روایت، نشان میدهد عرقی که از ترس بر پیشانی مینشیند «پاسخی سالم به وضعیتِ بحرانی جهان» است، و یادگیری زبان این احساسها نخستین گامِ شجاعانه برای عمل است.در ۳۰۰ صفحهی پر از اندیشه، نویسنده ما را با درمانگرانی آشنا میکند که متخصص «آسیبزیستبومی» هستند، فعالانی که حلقههای سوگ را به جلسهی راهبردی بدل کردهاند، و والدینی که با اخلاقِ فرزندآوری در جهانِ داغشونده گلاویز شدهاند. نتیجه آمیزهای است از خاطره، راهنما و بیانیه، و امیدی ریشهدار که هرگز به انکار نمیلغزد#نسل_درد #بریت_ری #اضطراب_اقلیمی #سوگ_زیستبومی #پادکست_کتاب #اقدام_اقلیمی #سلامت_روان #مطالعه_هدفمند #گفتگوی_چندرشتهای #امید_در_عمل#پادکست#مرور_کتاب#کتاب_صوتی#ایمان_فانی#مدرسه_زندگی_فارسی#تحلیل#مطالعات_میان_رشتهای#podcast#interdisciplinary_Studies#iman_faniخرید دورههای آموزشی در ایران:https://b2n.ir/a19688https://imanfani.comhttps://telegram.me/dr_iman_faniWhat does it mean to wake up each morning to a sky that feels heavier than yesterday's, to love the planet so fiercely that the evening news hurts like a breakup, and to try—somehow—to stay sane enough to keep fighting ? In this week's episode we dive head-first into Generation Dread: Finding Purpose in an Age of Climate Crisis by science communicator and climate-anxiety researcher Britt Wray, a book that refuses to treat dread as a private pathology and instead reframes it as a communal signal flare. Wray fuses neuroscience, psychology, and storytelling to show that our sweaty-palmed worry is “a healthy response to the troubled state of the world,” and that learning to speak the language of those feelings can become the first step toward courageous action.Across 300 thought-provoking pages she introduces therapists who specialize in “eco-distress,” activists who use grief circles as strategy sessions, and parents who wrestle with the morality of bringing children into a warming world. The result is equal parts memoir, field guide, and manifesto, threaded through with a radical optimism that never slips into denial. #GenerationDread #BrittWray #ClimateAnxiety #EcoGrief #BookPodcast #ClimateAction #MentalHealthMatters #ReadWithPurpose #InterdisciplinaryTalk #HopeInAction #Books #Book_review Hosted on Acast.
