Episode Description:  In this episode, we explore a topic often left unspoken but widely experienced—how child abuse professionals use dark humor to cope with the emotional weight of their work. Joined by neurohumorist Karyn Buxman, an expert in the therapeutic power of laughter, we discuss how humor serves as a lifeline in challenging environments. Discover the fine line between humor as a coping mechanism and when it might become harmful.  Download Transcript   Guest:   Karyn Buxman, RN, MSN, CSP, CPAE  Neurohumorist  Speaker Hall of Fame         Show Notes:  In this episode, host Christina Rouse dives into a delicate and seldom discussed topic in the child advocacy field about how professionals use gallows humor and dark humor to cope with the emotional toll of their work. Joined by neurohumorist Karyn Buxman, this episode explores the science behind humor, how it serves as a tool for stress relief, and when it may cross the line. Karyn shares her expert insights on how humor impacts brain function, helping professionals recover from amygdala hijack moments and regain cognitive control in the face of trauma. Through a dynamic conversation, Christina and Karyn discuss how laughter can be both a lifeline and, at times, a liability when used without care in sensitive environments.  The episode also features sound bites from professionals on the frontlines of child abuse prevention, discussing their experiences with humor as a coping mechanism, and  Karyn details the 7 Humor Competencies of High Performers she developed: Rapport/Bond, Context, Authenticity, Safety, Timing, Content, and Delivery.  The episode encourages listeners to understand the nuances of gallows humor, while also offering practical advice on fostering healthier workplace humor that doesn't cross ethical boundaries. Karyn provides guidance for leaders on creating supportive environments and using humor mindfully, emphasizing that while abused children are no joke, laughter can help heal the caregivers and improve the care provided to victims.  Hit the subscribe button now!      Key Quote:  “Humor enables us to rise above any situation, even if only for a few seconds.

Gemeinsam erkunden Lars und Marco die Welt der Tools, Tipps und Tricks für effektives Selbstmanagement. Die beiden diskutieren Lars provokante These: Todolisten sind überflüssig und sogar kontraproduktiv. Solche Listen halten uns von den wirklich wichtigen Aufgaben ab und letztlich auch der Grund, warum wir uns oft überfordert und gestresst fühlen. Im Gespräch entwickeln Lars und Marco alternative Ansätze und diskutieren, wie ein optimaler Kalender aussehen und eine perfekte Woche geplant werden kann.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Mike Rinder today. Mike was an activist and author who had an unmeasured level of dedication to his cause. In the few interactions I had with him, he was extremely kind and generous with his time. This week's episode is from when Mike joined me to talk about his memoir A Billion Years. I hope you enjoy it. We'll miss you Mike. --- Original Airdate: October 10, 2022 This week I'm thrilled to welcome Mike Rinder to the podcast. I've been a huge fan and supporter of his work since I first read Lawrence Wright's book Going Clear about the history and abuses of the Church of Scientology. Mike co-hosted the A&E documentary series Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath. He reunited with Remini for the podcast Scientology: Fair Game. Mike was kind of enough to take time out of his busy schedule to talk about his new memoir A Billion Years: My Escape From a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology. I can't recommend this book enough. It's one I will definitely revisit over the years. Thanks for listening!  Kyler -- Episode Links:  Mike Rinder's Blog  The Aftermath Foundation ("...help those who want to leave Scientology and the Sea Organization, but lack a system of support they can rely on while getting on their feet in the outside world.")  IG: @rindermike  While available you can purchase signed copies of A Billion Years HERE.In this episode Mike mentioned these books:  Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover  Bare-Faced Messiah: The True Story of L.

Today we are here with Dustin Benac. Excited to have him here. He's a little different kind of guest than we usually have, so we're going to start with Dustin telling us a little bit what he does here at Baylor, and then we'll get into how it connects to what we do as educators. Dustin, welcome in. Dustin Benac: Thanks Jon. Thrilled to be here. Love what you guys do in the School of Ed. Jon: Can you tell us a little bit about what you do here at Baylor? We overlap some because we're interested in leadership, we're interested in education and institutions, but can you talk a little bit about what you do here? Dustin Benac: Absolutely. I am the director and co-founder of the Program for the Future Church. We are a research, resource and relationship hub that's devoted to engaging the complex and emerging challenges between current and emerging Christian leaders. We do that through curriculum. We do that through convenings or gatherings, and we do that through contextual research. And one of the things that we're seeing is that even as the church and our communities are changing in incredible and dramatic ways, there is a remarkable future and we're committed to supporting that and pursuing that together. Jon: Love that. My question for you, obviously we care deeply about the church. That's one of the primary institutions that really supports what goes on in our country and around the world. And we have the global flourishing study that's a partnership of Harvard and Baylor, looking at what flourishing looks like, and certainly churches and faith are a big part of that, but another big part of it is schools. Where do you see K-12 schools fitting into the work that you're doing? Dustin Benac: I think they are an essential aspect of the flourishing of our communities and the flourishing of churches. Because one of the things we see is that the faith formation of people who inhabit churches, particularly inhabit churches over their life course emerges in those first 10 to 12 years. That certainly happens in families, but that also happens in spaces well beyond families. Sunday school classrooms, camps, schools, after school programs, baseball fields, athletic fields, gyms, art rooms, all of those are spaces where people are being formed. And a flourishing church, particularly a flourishing future church requires flourishing generations. And then secondly, it requires connections across different communities of faith. We think about our work happening at the level of the system or the ecology where we think communities need thriving congregations. They also need thriving schools, they need thriving nonprofit sectors, they need thriving entrepreneurs and the health of those realities, those sectors will only contribute to the thriving of the local church. Jon: A lot of that focus on community because we don't do any of these things in isolation. And so as educators, we have this great role of walking alongside people as they become more of who they're created to be as we become more of who we're created to be in the work that we do as we are formed. My question for you especially is your vantage point largely focused on the church, but also then looking at the ecology, as you use your term, which I love that term as well. What does a healthy school look like in your opinion, either currently or in the future, or maybe those are the same thing, but what's it look like to you? Dustin Benac: I think there are several markers of a healthy school. One, I think healthy schools require healthy leadership, and that's one of the reasons I appreciate the work you and your colleagues do is you all are equipping, resourcing and engaging healthy leaders and supporting healthy leaders across the country. That's the first thing. I think the second thing is a connection to and commitment to place. One of the things I love about education is it's one of the increasingly few institutions that still have a geographic designation. We have ISDs that are connected to particular places. And schools are places that bring people from their surrounding community to a shared gathering. Third, I think healthy schools require a healthy balance of diversity and similarity. You have to have something that you have in common, which I think is the education of our children. And you also have to have environments where people gather around and from the various differences and particularities that they bring to these spaces. Third, you've got to have matters of trust, justice, equity. Schools are only as strong as the virtues that carry them, and our leaders are only as strong as the virtues that they possess, so you've got to have schools that are marked by integrity. And fifth and finally, I think a healthy school requires a hopeful vision for the future. We can't have a hopeful vision for our children if the leaders and the communities don't have a hopeful vision for the future. Jon: The country right now is somewhat polarized as we're in an election year and you hear a lot of things about separation of church and state. And a lot of times that comes into play in schools where what's allowed, what isn't allowed? In Oklahoma right now, there's mandated Bible teaching going on in public schools with a hope that that will lead to better virtue development. And that's getting a lot of push back and possibly not really being implemented because that's not been traditionally what's gone on in public schools in Oklahoma at least over the last several decades. I'm curious to have you talk a little bit about the way you think churches and schools can work together effectively, because we also have the model of churches coming in and reading with kids and providing tutoring with kids and afterschool programs and this kind of ecology that we're all in this together and that both schools and churches serve the community. Do you have any sense of what that might look like? Not in the church state, separation wars that are out there, but in we're all part of a community, leadership as service. How do we lead in a way that serves each member of the community well? Dustin Benac: Yep. I love that question. I think that's part of one of the things that gets me really hopeful about the future schools and the future of churches because I think there's opportunities for real partnership here. Just a quick anecdote, I found my way into this work after doing several years of research in the Pacific Northwest. And the Pacific Northwest is a context where there's a marginal position for religious organizations. They're on the edges of society, but there's also a real history of religious entrepreneurship, that people of faith are doing new things. Entrepreneurship is the water they swim in. And one of the things I saw there is that people of faith and churches in the Pacific Northwest, they found a way to exist on the margins of society in ways that are not anxious. They're not trying to reclaim power, they're just trying to be faithfully present. And I think that's the first step to find this meaningful partnership, is churches and people of faith can pursue meaningful partnerships with schools, public or private, not trying to control the content or control the outcome or set the table, but simply show up and be a good partner and be present. Second, that takes a lot of time. Jon: You're right. Dustin Benac: You can't just parachute in a community and expect change to happen. You've got to keep showing up. Go to the football games, go to the band concerts, show up, show up over and over and over again. And when you do that, you begin to, one, see the needs of the community and they might be different than what you think. And then secondly, you begin to earn trust. The third thing I say is be prepared to be surprised by the encounter. When I've shown up in spaces, when I've tried to be relationally, faithfully present, I go in expecting knowingly or unknowingly something from that connection. And I'm always surprised. And as a person of faith, I like to think that surprise is part of the gift of God. Jon: That's beautifully put. I would say I think it overlaps with our view of leadership in general, but I would go all the way back to teaching middle school students. You can't just hit middle school kids over the head with truth if you don't do it with love because they're not listening until they know that you love them and you show them that you love them by spending time with them when you're not contractually obligated to spend that time with them. And so it is that showing up. And I think that's true with adults that we lead and we work with the educators we serve all over the world. It does coming alongside listening first, being surprised by what we might learn, not coming in with solutions for people. We don't know the context. We come in with processes. We come in with ideas for improvement. We come in with networks of people that we connect. That's Eric Ellison's main job at the Center of School Leadership. He does that even on Baylor's campus for us. And so how do we do that better? Because ultimately in the time we're in now, I don't think anybody can be that superhero solo leader. We write a lot about collective leadership at the center and what that looks like to do the work that moves towards shared goals. You do a lot of work on collaborative leadership. What kind of leadership do you see working at Baylor in churches in the ecologies? What kind of leadership do you see working? What are some attributes of that that you're encouraged by as we move forward? Dustin Benac: There's several different attributes. One is it's leadership that moves at the speed of trust. Collective collaborative leadership is leadership that it can't be engineered, it can't be manufactured. It takes time and it moves at the speed of trust. The second thing is this type of leadership is leadership that's carried by shared language. And I think that's one of the values of a place like Baylor or a place like the Center for School Leadership is I think one of the things you all offer are some shared language. And that allows people to partner around shared work by using the shared language because we can't assume that we mean the same thing when we talk about community or education or formation or faith. You have to have shared language because that's the point of contact where the shared work begins. The third thing that I think is required is an ability to recognize and celebrate a diversity of leadership expressions. Leadership, particularly collaborative leadership, is carried by teams. In order to have a strong team, you need to have people who lead in different ways. In my book, Adaptive Church, I talk about this across six different modes of leading, leading as the caretaker, leading as the catalyst, leading as the connector convener, leading as the surveyor, leading as the champion, leading as the guide. An effective collaboration requires people and teams who have the diversity, the dexterity, and the variety of gifts to lead in different ways in order to respond the needs of their community. Jon: You talk about diversity, dexterity, and variety, and a lot of people will hear that, and say it sounds messy. Dustin Benac: It is. Jon: And my argument is leadership's always going to be messy. It's whether it's going to be messy on the front end or the back end. I'd much rather it be hashed out with diverse thinkers that bring this variety to what we do so that we better represent the communities we serve. If you're thinking in ecologies, you certainly can't, as a single person know what's going to work best for everyone in that ecosystem. That is just not going to be possible. But it takes time, which you already mentioned about relationships, but it also takes time to process things. But then at the back end, you have something that actually might work as opposed to you implementing something which churches do this all the time, "Oh, we got to grow attendance, we got to grow the budget. We got to do..." And so it just becomes this hamster wheel we jump on and then we're spinning off crazy. And in churches, you are burning human beings who get run over by that hamster wheel. Dustin Benac: That's exactly right. And I think it's important to make a difference between the messiness of shared and collaborative leadership and sloppiness because- Jon: Yes. That's a good point. Dustin Benac: ... we don't have an excuse for being sloppy. The responsibility of leadership requires that we do it as well as we can. And part of not being sloppy is having shared language, knowing your lane, and also having good and effective strategy. It's going to be messy, it's going to be improvisational. It's not going to turn out like you thought or hoped it would, but you can be purposeful, you can be intentional, you can be strategic, you can be patient. And when those ingredients are there, the outcome is oftentimes far better than we could ever hope or imagine. Jon: The sloppy piece is such a great point. I think in schools, we have oversold the idea of failing forward. We've taken this Silicon Valley idea that fail fast, fail forward. No one wants to fail. And so you don't take haphazard risks, that's sloppy. You take strategic risks and Chip and Dan Heath write that the promise of risk taking is not, I don't have the exact quote, but the promise of risk taking is not success. It's learning. All right. If success were always promised for taking risks, it wouldn't be a risk. And so ultimately, how do we take the right risks? How do we take them with the right people? How do we take them in the way that we're actually going to learn from them and then revise and improve? I've certainly taken many risks in my career where I'm like, "I'm never doing that again." That was just a flat mistake. But most of the time, whatever it is, I figure out ways that we can improve and do better the next time. And then that's where leadership is fun because you're constantly iterating and you know don't have to have it right the first time ever because we probably aren't. But it's like all we got to do is get better. And so I've quit talking about solutions because solutions sound too neat, sound too prepackaged. It's not about solutions. It's about improving, so if you are leading a dumpster fire, just put the fire out. You don't have to build the Taj Mahal yet. Get the dumpster fire out first. Dustin Benac: I love it. Jon: As we think about that, what's your greatest fear as you look ahead to churches and schools? What's the greatest fear you have right now? I know there are many fears out there. What would you say is the thing that keeps you up at night about churches and schools? Dustin Benac: You actually teed this up so well, Jon, because I think my greatest fear is that we wouldn't take the risk. I think we are in a moment of significant and dramatic change. The world is changing, the church is changing, how we gather is changing, what education looks like and feels like is changing. And that can be a moment of real anxiety and uncertainty. It can also be a real moment of opportunity. And my hope is that in this moment of incredible change, we will do the thoughtful, the strategic, maybe even the prayerful work of considering what are the risks that are ours to take and take them with other people. We don't have to take these risks alone, but I do think we are in a unique moment of time where there's things that we can do together that are going to build the structures, the schools, the churches that our children inhabit for a generation. And if we don't do that, I think we've missed an opportunity. Jon: That's well said. Before we jumped on, you mentioned a couple of books that you were reading, which I think tie into this fear and also to the hope that we can have. Would you mind sharing a couple of books? I always like for our listeners to get a couple of recommendations that might be useful that may or may not be part of a typical educator's reading list. But do you have a couple for us? Dustin Benac: Yeah. One of the very best books I read in the last year is a book by a Stanford psychologist, Geoffrey Cohen's Belonging, a brilliant book about the structure of connection and how to understand the need for belonging and also the strategies that can help us build cultures of belonging. Brilliant work, data-driven, translatable across cultures and across contexts, so, that's the first one. The second one is a book by Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning that is about his experience surviving a concentration camp and also his theory of purpose that emerged out of his work there as a clinical psychologist. And one of the things Frankl says is that those who survived, survived because they found purpose, even purpose in suffering. And it's precisely this purpose that gave them meaning and ultimately gave them a future hope that they could imagine. Even if the circumstances were such, that it was very unlikely that they would live to see that future hope, the purpose carried them forward and gave them a reason to live. Jon: Well, I like the way those two books fit together in that if we're going to belong, we have to have a purpose. Dustin Benac: Yes. Jon: And that's part of what we do. And when we have a purpose, we are willing to struggle well with each other. And ultimately that's where joy is found. It's not the freedom from the struggle, it's the fuel to struggle well. And our joy comes from something deeper than our circumstances because that's where happiness lies and certainly Viktor Frankl is not talking about happiness. He's talking about where purpose can lead to joy because there's a life of meaning. And we don't have wellbeing if we don't have a purpose. And so I think the belonging piece doesn't happen unless we can do that with others because we serve a relational God and we reflect that in the ways that we interact with each other. We don't thrive by ourselves. That just doesn't happen. Love those two books. You shared your greatest fear, not taking risks, so what's your greatest hope as you look ahead for schools and churches? Dustin Benac: That new connections will form? I think the future of schools, the future of the church is carried by the work we do together. And one of the things that gives me great hope is that in a time of isolation, in a time of polarization, in a time where so many people do not feel like they belong, new connections are being formed every day. And that gives me great hope. That gives me great hope for the work that we do in the program where people come through our events, come through our courses, come through our programs, and they come out saying, "I'm more connected with other people." That's my hope about Baylor, is we have incredible students who come through our classes, and they certainly leave with a degree, but they also leave with a lot of connections. And that's my hope for churches, is that churches are finding a way to be faithfully present right where they are that is simply holding out the space for connection. Connection with others, connections with themselves, and connection with God. Jon: And that's why it's such a blessing to be part of Christian Research One University where we can convene these things, create those connections across communities, study them, and try to amplify the good work that schools and churches are doing, because there's a lot of great work going on out there. We just don't always hear about it. And so how do we accelerate that? Well, let's bring people together. Let's do it together in a way that creates connection and joy and then amplify it. Dustin Benac: That's right. Jon: And so that's the blessing. Well, thank you for all you do at Baylor through this, the program for the Future Church. Thanks for being with us and always love allies like you at Baylor, so thanks for taking the time. Dustin Benac: Thanks, Jon. Thrilled to be here.

Trying to Make Sense of Life Ecclesiastes 6:1-7:29   15 Realizations Worth Considering When Trying to Make Sense of Life: 1.      Realize that Chasing Money and Success for Money and Success' Sake Will Never Fill our Void of Discontentment. 2.      Realize that Who You Are Is More Important than What You Have. 3.      Realize that It Is Better to Live Our Vanishing Life with Purpose, than to Waste It through the Pursuit of Pleasure.   4.     Realize that remaining teachable before a sage trumps being entertained by the blissful ignorance of fools. 5.      Realize that caving into the temptation of oppressing others leads the wise into moral compromise. 6.      Realize that painful patience is better than succumbing to the price of impatient shortcuts to achieve success. 7.      Realize that one easily offended inevitably plays the fool. 8.      Realize that now is all that we have, so don't overly romanticize the past.         “In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.” ― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning   9.      Realize that wisdom tells us that we will either use wealth or wealth will use us. 10.   Realize that wisdom gives us the ability to trust God with mystery. 11.   Realize that we shouldn't trust in our own righteousness or grandiose wisdom, nor should choose to be foolish. 12.   Realize that wisdom is more powerful than power, for wisdom is power. (19-20) “ten rulers in a city”     "The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel: To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity; to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth— Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance, to understand a proverb and a saying, the words of the wise and their riddles. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Proverbs 1:1-7).     13.   Realize that if you live for the words of others, you will become fragilized by them. 14.   Realize that gaining a dose of modest wisdom doesn't arrive by accident, it comes through disciplined determination. 15.   Realize that it is better to reflect on the importance of wisdom over folly and to do so in advance.

Viktor Frankl, Begründer der Logotherapie und Autor des weltbekannten Buches "Trotzdem JA zum Leben sagen" hat mit seinem Werk und seiner Therapieschule Menschen auf der ganzen Welt inspiriert und neuen Lebens-Sinn eröffnet. "Das kommende Jahrhundert wird der Suche nach Sinn gewidmet sein.", so seine Prognose. Um möglichst vielen Menschen Zugang zu Frankl's Gedankengut zu eröffnen haben Johanna Schechner und Heidemarie Zürner vor 20 Jahren beschlossen, etwas auf die Beine zu stellen. Daraus geworden ist das weltweit erste Viktor Frankl Museum und ein Zentrum, das mittlerweile Veranstaltungen, Fortbildungen, einen Logopädagogik Lehrgang und vor allem Workshops für Schüler und Schülerinnen anbietet. Gefeiert wurde das Jubiläum mit vielen MitarbeiterInnen, Freunden und Unterstützerinnen am 26. September im Wiener Gartenbaukino. "Wir sind nicht verantwortlich für die Zeit, in der wir leben, aber wir sind verantwortlich dafür, wie weit wir diese Zeitströmungen mitprägen oder auch ihnen gegenhalten." (Viktor E. Frankl)

Her book, "Meaning Indicator: Finding Significance through Challenge, Work, and Love," inspired by Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning," explores resilience and intentionality. Michelle emphasizes the power of choice and compassion in life's challenges. [07:06] Michelle discusses the balance between challenge and care in her coaching experience, emphasizing love as caring for oneself, others, and the world. She explains that love in the workplace can coexist with honest, direct feedback and that sometimes the most loving action is for both parties to move on. Michelle highlights that love is about helping others realize their potential. Jim references a past guest who noted the Greek language's multiple words for love, aligning with Michelle's view of love as deep, honorable caring. Michelle's research on meaning in life revealed people often discuss challenges more than love, though they rank love higher in surveys. [17:40] Michelle explains the concept of "and" from her book, highlighting how it helps navigate life's complexities. She acknowledges those motivated by work and solving problems but also notes the tension when work overshadows other aspects of life. Michelle shares how her mother's passion for programming influenced her, wishing she had shared this passion when they were younger.  [19:16] Michelle discusses her research on the "greater good" archetype from Carolyn Taylor's work, highlighting how leaders navigate competing stakeholder needs and make thoughtful trade-offs. Jim raised an interesting point about the tension between significance and happiness, referencing his observations from different cultures. This sparked a discussion on how meaningfulness often involves stress and contemplation, while happiness focuses on satisfying basic desires. Jan shared an inspiring story about Jim's leadership during a challenging expedition in Patagonia, emphasizing how he thrives under pressure and excels at delegating.  [22:53] Michelle dives into the intricacies of leadership and personal growth, emphasizes the balance between results and relationships in leadership, noting the evolution from command-and-control to inspiring willing participation.

Despite his cancer diagnosis, Mickey was at peace, reflecting on his great life and embodying leadership through results and relationships. Michelle felt grateful to capture and share his life through this process. [31:33] Michelle reflects on the significance of her book, emphasizing that the things that matter most now are the same as those that will matter in the end. Michelle notes that her book is a short read, perfect for recalibrating during a plane flight. Jim and Jan express their gratitude for Michelle's insights and the opportunity to have her on the show. [32:34] And remember, Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself  - Viktor E. Frankl   Quotable Quotes "Leaders go first. I need to be doing my best to walk my walk and role model." "People don't need my perfectionism. They need my compassion." "Sometimes the most loving thing is for everyone to move forward." "The word I chose for love was caring for self, others, and our world." "Seeing that aliveness in people who are passionate about what they do is very compelling." "Widen the lens, and just having that awareness." "Challenge, work, and love are ways people find significance in life." "Even as an empty nester, I'm reorienting myself to my own relationship with work and discovering new focuses." "The things that matter most in the end are what matter most today. This is an opportunity to reconnect with what is significant for you."   Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | Sponsored by | Rafti Advisors. LLC | Self-Reliant Leadership.

Purchase at Amazon or your favorite book seller. Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl (Author), William J. Winslade (Afterword) This edition is no longer in print. Please check ISBN: 9780807014271 for the most recent edition. Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. Frankl's theory-known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos ("meaning")-holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful. At the time of Frankl's death in 1997, Man's Search for Meaning had sold more than 10 million copies in twenty-four languages. A 1991 reader survey for the Library of Congress that asked readers to name a "book that made a difference in your life" found Man's Search for Meaning among the ten most influential books in America. --------------------------------------------------------------------  Check out our ACU Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/ACUPodcast   HELP ACU SPREAD THE WORD!  Please go to Apple Podcasts and give ACU a 5 star rating.

Chapter 1:Summary of Man's Search for Meaning"Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor E. Frankl is a profound book exploring the psychological experiences of a Holocaust survivor and delving into the therapeutic philosophy known as logotherapy. Published in 1946, the book is divided into two parts: Frankl's experiences in Nazi concentration camps, and an introduction to his ideas about finding meaning in life.In the first part, Frankl narrates his harrowing experiences in various Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz. He describes how the daily horrors and inhumane conditions led to a mental state he refers to as the “provisional existence of prisoners.” Frankl observes that those who managed to find meaning in the midst of their suffering were more likely to survive. He shares anecdotes of fellow prisoners who found purpose in small acts of kindness or in the hope of being reunited with loved ones.The second part of the book explains Frankl's theory of logotherapy, which asserts that the primary drive in human beings is not pleasure (as Freud suggested) or power (as Adler suggested), but the pursuit of what Frankl calls “meaning.” According to Frankl, life has meaning under all circumstances, even the most miserable ones, and it's our responsibility to find it in every moment of living.Frankl identifies three main ways to find meaning in life: 1) by creating a work or doing a deed; 2) by experiencing something or encountering someone; and 3) by the attitude we take toward unavoidable suffering. The last idea is particularly poignant given his experiences, suggesting that when we cannot change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.Ultimately, "Man's Search for Meaning" is both a personal account and a guide to coping with suffering and finding significance in all forms of existence. It is considered one of the most influential books in the field of psychology and has inspired millions worldwide.Chapter 2:The Theme of Man's Search for Meaning"Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor E. Frankl is a profound and deeply insightful book that outlines the experiences of the author during his imprisonment in Nazi concentration camps during World War II, and his psychotherapeutic method called logotherapy. Below are some key plot points, character development, and thematic aspects: Key Plot Points1. The Horror of Camp Life: Frankl describes the brutal conditions in the concentration camps, including the constant presence of death, the arbitrary cruelty of the guards, and the psychological impact on the prisoners. He provides vivid descriptions of the struggle for survival amidst starvation, forced labor, and the despair of losing loved ones.2. Search for Meaning: Throughout his experiences, Frankl observes how those who could find meaning in their suffering were more likely to survive. He recounts stories of individuals finding purpose through various means, whether in thoughts of loved ones, a desire to survive to tell the story, or in small acts of kindness and solidarity among prisoners.3. Development of Logotherapy: Frankl uses his observations as a basis for developing his psychotherapeutic method, logotherapy, which posits that the primary drive in human beings is not a pursuit of pleasure (as Freud suggested) or power (as Adler suggested), but a pursuit of what he calls "meaning". According to logotherapy, life's meaning can be discovered in three ways: through work, through love, and through suffering. Character Development- Viktor E. Frankl: Throughout the narrative, Frankl evolves from a practicing psychiatrist and neurologist to a prisoner struggling with the most basic aspects of human existence. His journey depicts a profound transformation wherein he applies his professional knowledge to his personal suffering and develops his theory of logotherapy. His character...

Episode 2292: To achieve true fulfillment, Benjamin Hardy argues, one must transition from being a consumer focused on personal gain to a creator driven by a desire to give and serve. This transformative approach not only leads to greater contributions and personal growth but also allows for a deeper experience of love and success. Hardy challenges readers to introspect on their motivations, urging a shift towards a purpose that transcends self-interest.

Fifty-four percent of incarcerated people in the United States have mental illness. Eighty-five percent of the prison population have an active substance use disorder or were incarcerated because of drugs. Jeremy Schall is one of these individuals. Coming from a family history with addiction and having his first psychiatric hospitalization at age seven, his name was written all over the prison walls. What happened to liberate Jeremy from his own mental prison while he was stuck for four hours in a prison shower filled with black mold? How did Jeremy turn his life around with so many cards stacked against him? Why didn't he go down the road of no return like so many others who end up never leaving prison? What is his main message to anyone at risk of harming themselves or others? Find out from Jeremy the main component of making life work in your favor. Bio My name is Jeremy Schall and I am a living testament to the power of resilience and personal growth. Throughout my life I battled with mental health and addiction, facing some of the darkest moments imaginable. However, through sheer determination and unwavering support, I emerged from those depths. My journey to recovery was not easy, but it taught me invaluable lessons about self-reflection, inner strength, and the importance of seeking help. With the support of a strong recovery program, a dedicated network of loved ones, and my own commitment to healing, I was able to regain control over my life. Today I stand as a beacon of hope and inspiration for others on a similar path. I am deeply passionate about raising awareness for mental health, those justice impacted, and for those whose life has been transformed by addiction. I actively engage in prison reentry advocacy work to eradicate the stigma associated with these struggles. By sharing my own experiences, I strive to empower others to seek help, know they are not alone, and remind them that there is light at the end of the tunnel. “Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how.'” - Viktor E.

There are a lot of unspoken challenges and hidden battles that men face in modern society. They often manifest themselves in a uniquely male malaise where a man feels apathetic, frustrated, cynical, and lost.Jon Tyson has thought a lot about the problems men face and has been on the ground trying to help them as a pastor in New York City. In today's episode, I talk to Jon about the sources of this male angst that he explores as the co-author of a new book, Fighting Shadows: Overcoming 7 Lies That Keep Men From Becoming Fully Alive.Jon and I discuss how men often try to solve their malaise and why those approaches don't work. We then explore some of the shadows men fight in their lives, including the shadows of despair, loneliness, unhealthy ambition, futility, and lust. Jon offers some advice to overcome these shadows, including sitting around a fire pit with your bros, taking time to develop your telos or aim as a man, and injecting a bit more playfulness in your life to counteract grumpy dad syndrome.Resources Related to the PodcastJon's previous appearances on the AoM podcast:#810: How to Turn a Boy Into a Man#926: The 5 Shifts of ManhoodAoM longform article/short "ebook": A Roadmap to Manhood in the 21st CenturyAoM Article: Create a Blueprint for Your FutureMan's Search for Meaning by Viktor E.

What is Fluff? Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs. The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true. (Ecclesiastes 12:9-10, NIV). Harry Frankfurt in On BS: The BS-er…is neither on the side of the true nor on the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all, as the eyes of the honest man and of the liar are, except insofar as they may be pertinent to his interest in getting away with what he says. He does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly. He just picks them out, or makes them up, to suit his purpose.[1] Fluff is whatever is extraneous, superfluous, or unseemly. Fluff is the opposite of the substantial or the fundamental. Physical fluff is never desired and easily floats away. No one wants it, unless it is in a pillow, perhaps. Some students pad their papers in order to meet word requirements. Such padding is always fluff and may involve going down rabbit trails unrelated to the thesis of the writing. Much fluff today is autobiographical, and there are far too many memoirs.[2] Entire books may be autobiographical fluff, such as the egregious Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller and myriad others.[3] Contemporary writers often cannot resist talking about themselves even when it is irrelevant to the point they should be making. One of the great principles of the classic writing guide, Elements of Style, is to keep yourself in the background. This is what Strunk and White write: Write in a way that draws the reader's attention to the sense and substance of the writing, rather than to the mood and temper of the author. If the writing is solid and good, the mood and temper of the writer will eventually be revealed and not at the expense of the work. Therefore, the first piece of advice is this: to achieve style, begin by affecting none—that is, place yourself in the background.[4] Exhibitionism is one of the great sins and blind spots of our age. Consider Victor Frankl's comments about why he reluctantly decided not to anonymously publish his classic book, Man's Search for Meaning: "I had intended to write this book anonymously, using my prison number only. But when the manuscript was completed, I saw that as an anonymous publication, it would lose half its value and that I must have the courage to state my convictions openly. I therefore refrained from deleting any of the passages, in spite of an intense dislike of exhibitionism."[5] Fluff may also be unseemly, which may or may not include gratuitous personal references. The unseemly is what is inappropriate—the lude, crude, or rude. What Paul applies to speech should be applied to writing. “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen” (Ephesians 4:29). To tighten it up: Fluff is what is unnecessary in a piece of writing, either due to BS, redundancy, exhibitionism, or literary boorishness. Fluff can be avoided by removing unnecessary content, by keeping yourself in the background, and by being polite. To avoid fluff, ask yourself these questions: Am I aiming at objective truth? Have I written more than is needed? Have I said too much about myself? Have I been off-putting or offensive to my reader? [1] Frankfurt, Harry G. On Bullshit (p. 56). Princeton University Press. Kindle Edition. [2] I wrote a memoir, which I attempted to justify in the first chapter. Douglas Groothuis, “Introduction,” Walking Through Twilight: A Wife's Illness—A Philosopher's Lament (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity, 2017). [3] Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz (New York: Harper Horizon, 2003). The first paragraph of page 103 is the most absurd and egregious collection of falsehoods I have encountered.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Mild Chronic Depression "Dr. Mindell says most of us have a mild chronic depression. We're not clinically depressed, but we're living in a Flatland. It's a disconnect from the dream-like nature of reality, from seeing the dream-like nature, from only connecting with our dreams at night, but not connecting with our dreams during the day." - Jason Pickard The Purpose of Life "We're on an epic journey of growth and discovery, and we're here to learn. We're courageous warriors that have decided to come in and incarnate at this particular time in history and learn, grow, and change. Going through and finding the resiliency to overcome the biggest challenges make us who we are." - Jason Pickard What Is Wealth? "Wealth" comes, etymologically, from "well-being." And "well-being" comes from "wheel." And wheel comes from chakras, wheels of energy. Wealth is about being in our chakras, being fully secure in all of our energy centers, and recognizing ourselves beyond the physical body. Once we're fully embodied, we can also recognize that we take this wheel out into the world." - Jason Pickard Links From Today's Show  Jason Pickard The Abundance Archetype - $500 off with code "JOSH" at checkout or in your free discovery call with Jason Paul Tudor Jones How to Eat, Move and Be Healthy! by Paul Chek Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E.

By the age of 26, he was recognized as one of the top 30 traders under 30 years old in the World. Yet his health was on an absolute decline. He was 330 lbs. and suffered from a mental and physical health crisis. On a quest to become a master of both his inner and outer worlds, he decided to travel the world –– spending thousands of dollars and studying for thousands of hours learning directly from the greatest masters of a wide variety of healing arts, martial arts, holistic nutrition and movement, cutting edge psychology, and wisdom traditions of the East and West, ancient, indigenous and contemporary. He has now integrated the wisdom gained on this journey by creating The Abundance Archetype method to help you discover and actualize your supernatural capacities to create wealth and well-being in your life, to thrive at work while also feeling your best. This, in turn, will give you a greater sense of your reason for being alive –– at this pivotal moment in human history. Website Instagram Listen To The Latest Episodes...
