On episode 173, we welcome Valerie Tiberius to discuss the significance of cultivating a system of personal values, values as opposed to goals, Valerie's clash of values - between being a good woman and a good philosopher, self-enhancing beliefs and how they preclude us from knowing what we're actually capable of, searching for approval from those who don't want what's best for us, focusing on your values to motivate yourself to complete mundane tasks, strategies for discovering what's meaningful to us, culture as a barrier to value fulfillment - especially misogyny, using our emotions as guides to meaningful activities, and why an obsession with doing what you have to - as opposed to what you want to - leads to burnout. Valerie Tiberius is the Paul W. Frenzel Chair in Liberal Arts and professor of philosophy at the University of Minnesota. Valerie's work focuses on practical philosophy, particularly on the topics of well-being, happiness, and the good life. She has published numerous articles and books in these areas, and her work has been widely cited and recognized for its insightful contributions to the field. Her books include Well-Being as Value Fulfillment: How We Can Help Each Other to Live Well and The Reflective Life: Living Wisely with Our Limits. Her newest book, available now, is called What Do You Want Out of Life?: A Philosophical Guide to Figuring Out What Matters. | Valerie Tiberius | ► Website | https://www.valerietiberius.com/newbook ► What Do You Want Out of Life Book | https://amzn.to/3BmMbUy Where you can find us: | Seize The Moment Podcast | ► Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/SeizeTheMoment ► Twitter | https://twitter.com/seize_podcast ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/seizethemoment ► TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@seizethemomentpodcast

(First Broadcast - 21st June 2020) What is the value of wisdom in the time of the global pandemic? Does the community of behavioural scientists studying wisdom agree on anything about the nature of wisdom? Can we say what we now know about wisdom and, conversely, what do we know we don't yet know? Howard Nusbaum joins Igor and Charles to discuss the recently assembled Toronto Wisdom Task Force and the resulting Common Wisdom Model, meta-cognition, the thorny issue of moral-grounding, and sage advice regarding how to measure wisdom in the lab. Igor stresses the importance of building solid theoretical foundations for the field in the context of the pandemic, Howard reflects on the viability of evil wisdom, and Charles learns that we had better pay close attention today to the values we program into the decision-making robots of tomorrow. Special Guest: Howard Nusbaum.
In this episode, Sabrina and Hans sit down with Valerie Tiberius, a professor of philosophy at the University of Minnesota. Tiberius shares her experiences about getting into philosophy, how she came about her research on values and well-being, and offers her perspective about human nature and relationships.
Mom Enough: Parenting tips, research-based advice + a few personal confessions!
In what ways and at what age do children figure out whether or not to trust someone? This week’s Mom Enough guest has fascinating research that sheds light on this important aspect of development. We often think of infants and very young children as being naively trusting and ready to believe what any adult tells them. But Melissa Koenig, professor in the University of Minnesota's Institute of Child Development, is part of a team of researchers who are showing that even babies know how to be skeptics. These provocative findings raise important questions about how trust enters in to children’s learning and how parents and teachers can earn the trust of children and help them build their ability to recognize honesty at a time when it’s often hard to come by. WHAT WAS YOUR BIGGEST TAKEAWAY ABOUT CHILDREN AND TRUST? What was surprising to you about Melissa Koenig’s findings about young children and trust? Marti & Erin and their guest talked about the need for parents to be “transparent” with their kids and to only make promises they can keep.

Can philosophers and psychologists work together to guide us towards living wisely? In pursuing the good life, can too much reflection be dangerous? Might philosophers have downplayed the importance of getting lost in experience? Valerie Tiberius joins Igor and Charles to discuss positive illusions, values integration, bearing our own reflective survey, and the perils of excessive introspection. Igor has questions about the rise of the empirically-informed movement in philosophy, Valerie suggests humility is critical to friendship, and Charles wants to know how hit-moral-philosophy-comedy ‘The Good Life’ ever got commissioned. Welcome to Episode 9. Special Guest: Valerie Tiberius.
Special guest Valerie Tiberius joins us to talk about values, well-being, and friendship. What role should reflection play in the good life? What about emotion? How can we make our values more consistent and sustainable? Do we know our friends better than we know ourselves? Plus, are philosophers experts? Experts of what?
