Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Introducing Hive: A rebrand for Impactful Animal Advocacy, published by Hive (formerly Impactful Animal Advocacy) on May 7, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Last month, we made an April Fools Day post about rebranding to Shrimpactful Animal Advocacy. It was a two-sided joke, because we are rebranding. As of today, Impactful Animal Advocacy is now Hive. Our new name won't have the word "impactful" in it - but it's still an important part of our mission: to end factory farming through creating impact-focused communities. We are excited to announce that Impactful Animal Advocacy is now Hive, the same organization with a fresh look and feel. After much thought and consideration, we envision Hive to better reflect who we are - capturing our collaborative spirit and commitment to generating impact within the farmed animal advocacy movement. Why rebrand? This change is, in part, a response to common feedback that the name Impactful Animal Advocacy is too long (10 syllabus!), hard to remember, and difficult to recognize as the acronym IAA. We want to empower animal advocates to do work that's effective and impactful. And if they are, we want them to feel comfortable calling their work impactful animal advocacy without worrying about overstepping into an org's name. Why we chose Hive We want to convey a sense of friendliness and approachability, combined with a rational and results-driven approach. Additionally, we wanted to avoid using an acronym if possible. Name: Hive. The word hive is a place full of activity, and in the context of bees, it's a place where many gather. Hive symbolizes collaboration and coordination, while still bearing a subtle animal element. Logo: Hexagon with 3 typing indicator dots. The hexagon is a reference to bee hives. The three typing indicator dots are common on digital platforms, and help explain that we are a largely online community that thrives on communication. Colors: Deep and light orange gradient. We think these warmer colors will help establish the brand as a place for fresh ideas and energy. The fluid nature of the gradient represents the diversity of viewpoints and collaborative nature of our community. How this change affects our community or programs You will see that our name, logo, and website will be changed. Besides that, our programs (Slack, newsletter, etc) will run as usual. Other changes that you may see, such as Community Calls, are not related to the rebrand and are instead part of our continuous improvements. We thank many people and organizations: Vegan Hacktivists for their initial logo design and brand kit - it helped us get started quickly and we are thankful this service helps other orgs get off the ground also. Our trusted advisors and mentors have been critical in supporting us through all the organizational growth we experienced in 2023. Thank you to Cameron King, David Meyer and Tracy Spencer, Rockwell Schwarz, Aaron Boddy, Nicoll Peracha, Jay Barrett, Rachel Atcheson, Jacob Eliosoff, Monica Chen, David Nash, Steven Rouk, Wanyi Zeng, David Coman-Hidy, Tania Luna, Alyssa Greene-Crow, Nicole Rawling and Ana Bradley. You have all been so helpful and we appreciate your time. Our funders and donors who have helped not just with funding but with valuable advice that helped us create and follow a focused and solid strategy, including Open Philanthropy, Lush, Veg Trust, Craigslist Charitable Fund, Humane America Animal Foundation, and all the individual donors who believed in us and supported us so early in our journey. James and Amy Odene from User-Friendly who helped us come up with a new name and design the Hive logo and website. You have been incredibly helpful and patient in this process. We love the end product! All of our loyal Slack members - for being the impactful and helpful advocates that you are! We are...

This is the final installment in Strange New Work, a series that uses speculative fiction to explore radical work futures.Power. Some fear it. Others hoard it. Some with power speak softly. Others carry a big stick. Power is charisma, or coercion, or violence. Power is name recognition, or money, or computer code.Regardless of your definition or perceptions of it, power plays a critical role in how we work.Today, we explore power—what we can do with it, how we can grow it, and, critically, how we can share it—because power in the future of work will look very different than it does today.Footnotes: Find out more about Tania Luna Lead Together by Tania Luna The Power Paradox by Dacher Keltner The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K.

Tania Luna is a psychology researcher, educator and author of the book “Lead Together: Stop Squirreling Away Power and Build a Better Team” in which she tells a story about the concepts of power, leadership, and the impact of shared decision-making in the workplace. Mike Petrusky asks Tania to discuss her research, leadership experiences, and the four principles of sharing power including how we can “rely on context, not control”. Tania believes that leaders must clarify the “why” rather than dictating the “how” and advises that when people have context, they have the information they need to take action and make good decisions. Mike and Tania explore how these concepts apply to the power struggle between leadership and employees in our post-pandemic workplace and they offer practical advice for facility management leaders as they seek to navigate changing office dynamics.

https://youtu.be/LT97fUT_bjw Tania Luna is the co-founder and chair of LifeLabs Learning and the best-selling author of The Leader Lab: Core Skills to Become a Great Manager Faster. We talk about the making of a great leader, coaching as the most important skill in leadership, and how too much entrepreneurship can be a bad thing.   --- Take the Swiss Army Knife of Management from Tania Luna Our guest is Tania Luna, the co-founder and chair of Life Labs Learning, the author of two best-selling books, including The Leader Lab: Core Skills to Become a Great Manager Faster. Welcome to the show, Tanya. I'm so excited to be on the show. I share your nerdiness for frameworks, so this is the best use of my morning. Yes, it's probably going to be a framework overkill today. Do you have a framework for frameworks? Yes, I work for frameworks. Let's see, hopefully we won't confuse the listeners with too much information. That's going to be our challenge to keep it down. So let's start the discussion with your story. So you founded two companies, you authored two books. How did you get here? I ask myself that question every day. So it depends on kind of how you want me to answer that. The first thing that comes to mind is sort of the process by which I got here, which is asking a lot of questions and then integrating different perspectives and pieces of feedback and input and just, you know, kind of repeating that process over and over and over again, asking as many people as I can questions, asking my own team questions when I was writing the books, asking potential readers questions, and then whatever feedback I get, I kind of marinate, digest, integrate, and then go back to asking questions. So I don't know if that answers your question, but it's kind of my go-to formula for pretty much anything I achieve. I love it. That's kind of a research process. You go out and you talk to people and you synthesize it and you basically look for the system in the answers. Yeah, and so my background is in psychology and organizational psychology in particular, though I've studied all sorts of things. I've studied the psychology of emotion, of language acquisition, of assertiveness, group creativity, psychology of surprise, psychology of leadership. And so that psychology background, I think, has come into the foreground for me in the sense that I look at everything kind of thinking like a scientist about it. Yeah, no, for sure. That's fascinating. So why did you start a company? Most scientists, they don't actually want to run a business. They just want to do their research. So the true story is that I was finishing my undergrad and I was about to start my PhD in organizational psychology. And at the same time, I won this young entrepreneur contest for a business idea that I had for my last company. And so I was like, hmm, do I pursue the academic route? I had just spent four years of my life working in a lab, doing research, doing my own research. So do I go academic or do I try this whole entrepreneur thing? And I figured I could always go back and get my PhD. I never did. Maybe one day I will. Or I could go down the path of actually building something and applying it. And I just fell in love with the practice side of things. I continued doing research. So I was able to start a lab and recruit research assistants to continue doing research while I was also running my business. So I think of myself as like a scholar, practitioner. That's really interesting because, you know, there's a different style of writing when you're an academic and you write books for college students and for, you know, for PhD papers and professional advancement. And it's a different style when you write for the layperson so that actually the, you know, the simple business person should understand and be able to take action on it. What do you feel is the main substantive difference between the two ways of working? I think one is better.

I tend to look at every interaction through the lens of how I can help this individual or this group be even better as a result of us having collided together in time and space. So it's almost like every interaction is my opportunity to make the place better than I found it.Tania Luna, co-founder and chair of LifeLabs Learning and co-author of The Leader Lab, Core Skills to Become a Great Manager Faster, says there is a “relatively small number of skills” that people need to lead and collaborate more effectively.With thousands of corporate clients and about 350,000 people her company has trained in leadership skills, she speaks as one we should listen to.“Our goal with all of the training that we do is to give people just the core skills, not all the skills, the most important skills they need to be able to collaborate more effectively, to be able to achieve amazing things together that they couldn't achieve on their own,” Tania says.Tania rattles off a list of the top priority core skills—she sharply rejects the label “soft skills—for leaders that she considers “tipping point” skills because they influence so many domains.* Coaching skills* Feedback skills* Prioritization* Leading effective one-on-ones* Strategic thinking* Leading meetings* Effectively leading change* Helping people develop skillsShe admits that it was surprising that coaching skills would rise to the top of the list. She describes it as “being able to ask high-quality questions so that you can help people develop their own capacity to solve problems and to have insights.”As chair of LifeLabs Learning, Tania has time to pursue her passions. She and her husband live with 21 rescued animals, emblems of her animal advocacy. She established a nonprofit, Scarlet Spark, to apply the leadership lessons from LifeLabs Learning to organizations that help animals.“At this point in my life, what I wanted to do was be able to help non-humans as well and focus on animals,” Tania says. “Where I landed was being that spark for animal advocacy organizations so that they are able to achieve their missions faster as a result of having great leadership skills.”Tania observed a common fallacy among nonprofits. “Nonprofits, whatever their focus is, assume that they can keep people engaged and motivated just through the power of the purpose and the mission.”The idea is pervasive. “Our clients who are for-profits are like, ‘oh, if only we were a nonprofit, then people would really care about their work,'” she says.“Unfortunately, that's not enough,” Tania says. “Oftentimes, it almost makes you feel kind of trapped because you care so much about the mission, but you have a terrible experience at work.”Her goal is to help people feel more wholly engaged. “It's so much more joyful to have a workplace experience where you feel at your best.”In purpose-driven organizations especially, there is a tendency to believe another tempting illusion. “One of the big misconceptions around how to get to that place where people are collaborating effectively, giving feedback, all that kind of stuff, is that ‘we'll figure it out as we go along,'” Tania says.It's more complicated than it seems. “Unfortunately, it's hard to learn from experience,” she says. “We don't know which thing we did last month resulted in someone quitting today.”“As a society, it seems we've bought into this idea that being good at interacting with people is important,” Tania says. “But we haven't quite recognized the diligence that it takes.”Good management and interpersonal skills don't come naturally to most people. As diversity in the workplace increases—especially in the age of working at a distance from colleagues—deliberate effort is required.In Tania's efforts to make the world better, she has leveraged her superpower, a focus on helping others become better.How to Develop a Focus on Helping Others As a SuperpowerTania's focus on helping others isn't a generalized notion about making the world a better place or helping humanity. Instead, her focus is often on the person in front of her. She shared an example that demonstrates how her superpower has worked:Just this morning I was talking to a coworker of mine who has been at life labs learning for about seven years now. Back when I was teaching psychology at a university, she was a student of mine, and LifeLabs was—she likes to call it her first big girl job—and we were just talking about like, “What do you want to be doing at LifeLabs? Do you even want to be exploring opportunities elsewhere?” And she was like, “Man, I could do a lot of things. Now I've learned so much. I've become this stronger, better person as a result of this experience.”She was this very shy person in many ways, very insecure. Now she's bold and confident and powerful, just incredibly powerful. To see that I played some small part in being a catalyst for that power. Yeah, that feels really exciting.If we've learned anything from Tania so far, we appreciate that developing and employing a focus on helping others isn't something that will just happen. We have to cultivate it deliberately. She offered some insights to help us do that.First, Tania offers that we need to learn to ask the right questions in the right way as part of the coaching skill set taught by LifeLabs. “Are you asking questions that inform you, or are you asking questions that enlarge the individual's way of thinking or seeing the world or seeing themselves?”Digging a bit deeper, Tania reflects on the importance of values. To make her point, she shared her personal experiences as a child:In fourth grade. I, for some reason, campaigned to be the vice president of the student council. In the fifth grade, I was the president of the student council. In third grade, I started the Power Girls Club because the boys had a Power Rangers club and they didn't allow girls. I was very bad at all the things, but I still had this conviction that my purpose is to make things better for others. Because that is a conviction, it makes it much easier to learn to figure out how to do that.Believe it or not, Tania adopted or discovered core values even earlier.Since I was, I think it was like two-and-a-half or three years old, when I realized I was going to die—I remember the moment and I was like, ‘Oh, life is short.' I think that comes with many drawbacks. It's created probably a sense of urgency within my life that has some negative side effects, too. But on the positive side, I always thought, so many people talk about having regrets in life. Since I was a little kid, I was like, ‘I can have regrets in terms of bad decisions I've made, but I will not allow myself to have regrets in terms of not having done enough to try to help, to try to make an impact.' So that sense of recognizing that time is limited, and this is my chance to do something good, to do something meaningful that ultimately drives the skill building.As we discussed the implications of these stories, she agreed that she holds two closely related values. First, she believes that she can make a difference for others; second, she believes that she gets to.She notes that she doesn't feel an obligation to help. It's not about “should.”“There's something about the should that feels like I'm being a bad person if I'm not helping,” Tania says. “I think that's very taxing and very heavy and can lead to a lot of compassion fatigue.”“But I try to think of it as like, ‘I get this many years to do some really cool stuff and make people's lives better, animals' lives better.' I think that drives a more kind of uplifting feeling.”“It's no one's responsibility to be helping. But we get to. It's so amazing for us selfishly to see the impact and the ripple effects that it could have on the world,” she concludes.You can make a focus on helping others a superpower that enables you to have more impact by following Tania's example and advice.

Are you procrastinating on a task, simply unable to find the will to get it done? Today, we talk about procrastination. Why it happens and how to stop it! Tune it to learn more!   Transcript:   Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in about 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life.    I'm your host Katie Jefcoat, and I don't wanna do this episode recording…can't I do it tomorrow? Just kidding! I love doing these podcasts, but I will be the first to admit that procrastination can strike at any time! A 2007 study found that 94% of people admit to procrastinating. Another study found that procrastinating can lead to stress, anxiety, guilt, and even affect our health! One would think that this obvious set of actions and consequences would teach us to stop procrastinating…but it doesn't; we continue to do it time and time again, negatively affecting our happiness? Why do we do this to ourselves, you ask? Research suggests that procrastinating is caused by a wide range of concepts, from genetics to task aversion to emotional avoidance. It can be as simple as not wanting to do it or having layered reasoning. For example, one can procrastinate on scheduling a call with a client because they: A: Understand that talking on the phone causes them anxiety. B: Recognize that they will end up with more work on their plate. C: Know that the client likes to drone on and waste their time. D: All of the above! So, what can we do to bust procrastinating and improve our happiness? An article from Tania Luna from Psychology Today recommends the following: First, initiate self-study. By looking internally, we may be able to discover what is causing us to procrastinate. For example, we want to look into what feelings this specific task initiates, what steps we have to take to complete it and why those bother us, the consequences of avoiding it, and how we will feel when it does get accomplished. Now, I am not telling you to beat yourself up about procrastinating, but rather to find out why it is happening in the first place. If you get stuck in a negative feedback loop, take a break. Not sure what I mean? Check out episode 475. The second step to busting procrastination is giving yourself some grace. It may sound odd or counterproductive, but sometimes we really just have to show ourselves some compassion. We need to recognize that we are not alone in procrastinating, acknowledge that it is a normal and reasonable fact of life, forgive ourselves for being behind, and see ourselves as wiser and stronger for taking this mental step. Studies have shown that giving yourself some compassion will actually make you less likely to procrastinate on the same task in the future. And on occasion, it is healthy to let ourselves off the hook with non-essential tasks. So you didn't do the dishes one night, or you didn't make it to a work event; oh well! The world won't stop turning; it's okay to take a break. The last tip to bust procrastination is to dopamine hack. There are obviously some tasks in life that do not make us happy. I can't say that cleaning the bathrooms makes me want to jump for joy. But, we can make some tasks happier to complete through dopamine hacking. Here are four ideas you can try, and we will use cleaning the bathroom as an example.       Chunk It! Break up the task into smaller chunks, and conquer them one at a time. For example, cleaning all the toilets at once. Next round, all the sinks. Next, all the showers. You get it.       Time It! Set a timer for a specific amount of time, and try to get as much done as possible. It's like a race against the clock. When the timer goes off, take a break and do something else fun.  This is what I do with my kids.        Milestone it! Some of us respond well to deadlines. When you have an arduous task, give yourself a due date and put it on the calendar!       Reward It! We can train ourselves not to despise a task if there is a reward at the end. Let's say you are cleaning all the bathrooms; you could reward yourself with a piece of chocolate, an episode of your favorite show, or a walk in the sunshine after completing it!   I know I will definitely try these tricks the next time I have a challenging task, and I hope you will too! In the comments, tell me which tasks you procrastinate the most often on. Want to stop procrastinating on listening to my episodes?

We talk about the ‘IKEA' effect–when we build something, we attribute more value to it. Putting process behind your passion. Success entrepreneurs step back and analyze how to make something scalable and efficient. At LifeLabs Learning, Tania studies what differentiates average managers from great managers. We talk about the importance of making businesses more scalable.either through automating processes, creating checklists, creating training, etc.Hiring managers, listen to what to keep in mind when recruiting, retaining, and engaging employees especially in sectors where it's hard to find qualified people.

B´´H Shiur dedicado à elevação da alma de Meir ben Pessach Z´´L. Refuah Shlemah de Tania Luna bat Esther. Exploramos duas frases contraditórias do Talmud: " O encontro de um casal é difícil como a abertura do mar" e "40 dias antes da formação do embrião, uma voz celestial declara: a filha de fulano sera para fulano". Independente se a pessoa está ou não num segundo relacionamento, precisa entender que todo relacionamento é composto de duas núpcias. Esse shiur pode transformar seu relacionamento.

Today we interview Tania Luna from Life Labs Learning and author of Surprise: Embrace the Unpredictable and Engineer the Unexpected. This show was a result of some questions from an audience member that involved business decision psychology. As a result I called in a heavy hitter. Listen in as we talk about corporate psychology, team dynamics, employee empowerment, confirmation bias, and much much more.

What do you do every day that lights you up? What pulls you down? If you're like me, you probably have meager accurate awareness of how you actually spend your hours. Instead of focusing on what we failed to do this year, and making the same promises (aka resolutions) next year, we'll look at who we became over the the last twelve months. They key to that is to decide how each of our daily actions makes us feel, and to do more of the ones that make us feel most alive. However 2020 treated you, this tool will wake up many aspects of how you live. I promise that looking into a few dark corners will produce gold in 2021.

Shower Up Nashville (0:00:00) Whether it's after a long, stressful day or in preparation for your next outing, there are few things in life that feel better than a warm shower. For those who are facing homelessness, however, this privilege can be hard to come by. Lacking access to clean showers is not only stressful but can make it hard to communicate with others if you don't have proper hygiene. This is what inspired the creation of Shower Up, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Nashville that brings mobile showers to local homeless communities. Joining us on the show today is co-founder and executive director Paul Schmitz, here with us to discuss how a simple shower can make a world of difference for the homeless.   Why We Need Cuteness (0:16:47) For anyone who's been to Japan, the word “kawaii”, meaning cute, is nothing new. Although it is used as frequently in Japan as the word “cute” is in America, “kawaii” is not just a word to the Japanese, but a cultural phenomenon. The cuteness trend is visible in nearly all facets of life from fashion, to entertainment, to product design and packaging. And while the kawaii trend has already gained a fair amount of traction in Western Spheres, Tania Luna, psychology researcher and Co-CEO of LifeLabs Learning, here to discuss with us why we need more cuteness in our lives and the psychology behind it.   How to Negotiate with Your Kids (0:36:24) As parents we have the final say in decisions around the house. We are the Queens and Kings of our castle and our word is law. However, any student of history will tell you that a sovereign's power is always dependent on the loyalty of their subjects, and sometimes our homes can feel more like the French Revolution than we would hope. So, how can we lead our families to keep our kids obedient and happy? Roi Ben-Yehuda's advice would be to negotiate with them! He's a professor of conflict resolution at both Columbia University and John Jay College and a leadership trainer at LifeLabs Learning, who's on the show to teach us how to negotiate with our kids.   Tips for 2020 Freshman (0:52:47) College freshman across the country are going to have a unique experience come this fall. With COVID shaking everything up, colleges are changing the way they're going to operate. This can be scary and intimidating for graduated high school seniors already stressed about leaving home and taking on the next level of education. So, what can we do to help prepare our freshmen for the upcoming school year and the impact COVID will have on it? Here to talk us through it is Rob Franek, editor-in-chief of the Princeton Review.   Reducing Your Eco Footprint (1:11:21) The environment revolution is nothing new. But given the accelerated rate at which environmental degradation is occurring, the topic seems more prescient than ever. As a result, many people have begun to wonder more concertedly about their own personal impact on the environment. What can we do on a personal level to reduce our eco-footprint? Here to answer this question and others about our personal energy consumption is Hugh Jiang, founder of environmental blog Get Green Now.   Rebranding (1:26:54) What lots of brands have in common is a symbol that we can easily recognize and immediately associate with that brand. For those involved in any kind of business, big or small, symbols, designs, catchphrases and other branding techniques are critical to a business's success. But is there a secret to creating an attention-grabbing brand as well-known as Apple, Target, or Nike? Or what can we do if our brand is lagging? Well today, we have Katie Lundin, a brand specialist from Crowdspring, here to tell us everything we need to know about making, maintaining and even recreating a strong brand.

Paul Schmitz talks about his nonprofit, Tania Luna explains why we love cuteness, Roi Ben-Yehuda gives tips for negotiating with kids, Rob Franek gives advice to new freshmen, Hugh Jiang teaches how to reduce our eco footprint, Katie Lundin discusses how to rebrand a business.

“Back in 2008, Tania Luna founded Surprise Industries as a way to tap into our culture’s yearning to be surprised. For a small fee, Luna’s company would surprise you or your family or your company. You just paid a little monthly subscription fee, and you literally have no clue what will happen. Surprise Industries might show up at your workplace and unleash a hundred puppies. Or they might tee up a flash mob, or bring a circus act to your doorstep… Surprises, Luna discovered, have a paradoxical feature. They tell us we were wrong; yet paradoxically, we still yearn for this.”

Tania is the co-CEO at LifeLabs Learning. She is also a psychology researcher, leadership trainer, and co-author of the book Surprise: Embrace the Unpredictable & Engineer the Unexpected. Sorry to ruin the surprise, but she’s my guest today and we’ll be talking about….surprise and how it important it is in our lives (especially now!) Learn more about your ad choices.

Finding More Time (0:00:00) Do you remember when you were a kid and days seemed to last just a little bit longer? What was really just a 15-minute recess felt like a whole hour of playground adventure. As we get older however, we seem to lose that perception of time. Days feel like seconds. And before you know it a whole year has passed us by, the kids are grown up, and we're left wondering where all the time has gone. While our perception of time may change as we age, we actually have a lot more control of how long our days feel than we may think. Joining us today is Tania Luna, co-CEO of LifeLabs Learning, to discuss how we can change the way we perceive time in our day.   Everyday Rockstar (0:13:10) Lisa and Richie feature this week's Everyday Rockstar. You or someone you know can be featured on the show, too! Send your nominations to thelisashow@byu.edu.   Poetry in Education (0:21:17) Our brains seem hardwired to recognize and react to poetry. This is one of the most ancient art forms, and people have been loving and responding to poems for thousands of years. But recently, poetry been evaporating from the standard classroom. How can we still enjoy the benefits of this humanizing art? We've invited Kimberly Johnson onto the show to teach us more. She is a poet, literary critic, and professor of Renaissance literature and creative writing at Brigham Young University.   Being Unoffendable (0:37:10) Now-a-days people seem to be offended by everything. Sometimes it's politics. Sometimes it's stupid stuff that people say on the internet. And with our world becoming more and more connected, it's inevitable that we'll run into people who misunderstand us and say things that we might find offensive. So, is there no hope? Are we destined to be in a state of annoyance, perpetually offended forever? Here to talk about how to become “unoffendable” is Michelle McCullough, author of “The HappyIST” and friend of the show who teaches how to find more happiness and success in life.   First Date Disasters (0:50:37) “Cyber dating expert” Julie Spira talks with Lisa and Richie about the worst first dates, and explains what we can do to keep those things from happening to us.   Reducing Cravings (1:14:34) We all have those days where we crave specific foods, usually they're the less than healthy treats like chocolate chip cookies or a nice pancake breakfast. These cravings refuse to go away until we satisfy them. And I've often wondered if these cravings are our body's way of telling us what we need or if they're just a result of bad habits. To find out we invited registered dietitian-nutritionist and friend of the show, Laura Silver. She joins us to help us understand more about our cravings as well as if and how we can reduce them.   The Worth of a College Degree (1:30:10) Today, there's a lot of skepticism surrounding the value of a college degree. With technological advancements and creativity, some are able to find careers without ever pursuing higher education. This makes us wonder if college degrees are as essential to our success as they used to be. In fact, many are looking for reason not to spend 4 years and thousands of dollars on school if they don't have to. But our next guest says that a college education is critical for competing in today's economy. Today we're talking with Scott Pulsipher about the worth of a college degree. Scott is the president of Western Governors University and a member of the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board. 

Tania Luna explains how to make more time, Kim Johnson discusses the role of poetry in education, Michelle McCullough teaches how to be unoffendable, Julie Spira gives dating advice, Laura Silver talks about reducing cravings, Scott Pulsipher explains the worth of a college degree

As a young child, Tania Luna left her home in post-Chernobyl Ukraine to take asylum in the US. And one day, on the floor of the New York homeless shelter where she and her family lived, she found a penny. She has never again felt so rich. A meditation on the bittersweet joys of childhood -- and how to hold them in mind.

어린 시절, 타니아 루나는 체르노빌 원전 사고가 일어난 고향 우크라이나을 떠나 미국으로 망명했습니다. 그녀와 가족들이 살던 뉴욕의 한 노숙자 보호소에서 그녀는 어느날 페니 동전을 발견합니다. 그때처럼 그녀가 부유하게 느낀 적은 없었습니다. 이 강연은 달콤씁쓸한 어린 시절의 기쁨들과, 그 기쁨들을 어떻게 마음속에 간직하는지에 관한 명상입니다.

Enfant, Tania Luna a quitté l'Ukraine de l'après Tchernobyl pour trouver asile aux États-Unis. Un jour, sur le sol d'un foyer pour sans abri où elle séjournait avec sa famille, elle a trouvé une pièce d'un cent. Elle ne s'est jamais sentie plus riche depuis. Quelques réflexions sur les joies douces-amères de l'enfance - et la façon de les retenir.

De pequeña, Tania Luna dejó su hogar en la Ucrania pos-Chernóbil para recibir asilo en los EE.UU. Un día encontró un centavo en el piso del refugio para indigentes de Nueva York donde vivía con su familia. Nunca volvió a sentirse tan rica. Una meditación sobre las alegrías agridulces de la infancia...y de cómo tenerlas siempre en mente.

Quando era ainda uma criança, Tania Luna deixou sua casa na Ucrânia após o acidente de Chernobyl para procurar asilo nos Estados Unidos. E um dia, no chão do abrigo para sem-teto em Nova Iorque onde ela e sua família viviam, ela achou uma moeda. Ela nunca se sentiu tão rica. Uma meditação sobre as alegrias doces e amargas da infância -- e como mantê-las na memória.

Als Kind verlässt Tania Luna ihre Heimat in der Ukraine, um nach Tschernobyl in den USA Zuflucht zu finden. Eines Tages findet sie in dem New Yorker Obdachlosenasyl, wo sie mit ihrer Familie lebte, einen Penny. Nie wieder hat sie sich so reich gefühlt. Ein Gedenken an die bittersüßen Freuden der Kindheit - und wie man sie sich bewahrt.
