Groceries are expensive, but there is a surprisingly simple way to leave the supermarket with a smaller bill — and it has less to do with what you buy than how you shop. I begin this episode with a technique that could help you spend less every time you go to the grocery store. Source: Eat This Not That by David Zinczenko(https://link.amazon/B03ckVUuD) For decades, we've been told the future would bring flying cars, human-like robots, smart cities, self-driving vehicles and all sorts of other technological wonders. So…where are they? Why do so many innovations that always seem to be “just around the corner” never quite arrive? Technology and science journalist Nicole Kobie reveals what really happens between a great futuristic idea and the day it becomes part of everyday life — and why predicting the future of technology is so difficult. Nicole is a contributing editor for Wired and author of The Long History of the Future: Why Tomorrow's Technology Still Isn't Here (https://link.amazon/B0h9cxllC). You probably don't give your teeth much thought until one of them hurts. Yet teeth have an extraordinary story. Some creatures have no teeth at all, while others continually replace theirs throughout their lives. So why do humans get only two sets? And how did teeth become so important to eating, speaking, survival and even our appearance? Zoologist Bill Schutt takes us through the strange and fascinating history of teeth and explains how they evolved into what is in your mouth today. Bill is the author of six books, including Bite: An Incisive History of Teeth, from Hagfish to Humans (https://link.amazon/B08TCbaUy). Paying off debt is obviously good for your finances. What's surprising is what it may do for your body. Research has found a connection between carrying significant debt and some important measures of physical health. Listen as I explain why reducing what you owe could benefit more than just your bank account. https://news.feinberg.northwestern.edu/2013/08/16/debt_and_health/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS MONARCH: Write your own money story with Monarch!

Most advice on burnout focuses on workload, stress and work-life balance. But what if the real cause is the act we put on at work? And if it is, what does that mean for an industry built on improving performance? In this week's episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Ross G and Gemma are joined by Rabih El Khodr, keynote speaker and author of The Way Out of Burnout, to explore where burnout really comes from and what L&D can realistically do about it. We discuss: why 'performance' in the theatrical sense, not overwork, drives burnout how 'survival scripts' shape the beliefs that sit upstream of our behavior why resilience training for burnt-out people is like handing a drowning person a swimming manual, and what L&D can do instead Rabih's book, The Way Out of Burnout, is available now. Rabih explores survival scripts further in his TEDx talk, Burnout Begins with a Script. For more on Rabih's work, visit rabihspeaks.com. In 'What I Learned this Week', Gemma recommended an episode of The Rest Is Science, The Threshold of Human Sensation, which explores the smallest things our senses can detect. Her highlight was lugduname, an artificial sweetener hundreds of thousands of times sweeter than sugar. Rabih shared what he learned from trying the other side of Riverside, the recording platform used by many podcasts, including this one, as he considers hosting a show of his own. Ross G recommended a piece from Wired, Why Normal People Aren't Using AI Agents. It explains why agents are still a niche next to chatbots, and why organizations hoping to adopt agentic AI will need to be deliberate about how they support people.

We physicians look outside the patient, to an expensive wearable, high-tech blood tests, or a brain MRI, to provide us with insights we hope we can use to relieve our patient's suffering. But what if some of the most powerful insights come from observations only a patient can make?Gary Isaac Wolf, author of  The Quantified Self: Learning to Observe, joins Drs. Dawn Lemanne and Deborah Gordon to explore how ordinary people can turn self-observation into evidence. Real data. Something your physician can use, but can't get from anyone but you.But before you haul out a notebook and begin writing down every ache and pain, listen up:Gary Wolf discusses why tracking when you feel good can teach you and your physician so much more than repeatedly scoring how bad you feel. Learn how Wolf discovered that his own observations of a heart arrhythmia closely tracked a medical-grade Holter monitor, and gave him--and his cardiologist--a powerful insight that the Holter monitor left invisible, an insight that allowed him and his cardiologist to improve his treatment. Find out how you can use a pen, notebook, and three-step experiment to learn what expensive testing can miss.Gary Isaac Wolf co-founded the Quantified Self movement, was an early WIRED editor and the first executive producer of WIRED Digital. His landmark New York Times Magazine article brought self-tracking to a broad audience, and his TED Talk has been viewed more than a million times.Gary Isaac Wolf: Gary's websiteThe book: The Quantified Self: Learning to Observe — book site and retailers · Workman/Hachette publisher pageThe book is scheduled for publication October 6, 2026; the official book page currently links to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop, Target, Walmart, Kindle, Apple Books and other retailers.

Would you accept $10,000 to live near a data center? A Pennsylvania developer's offer is dividing residents. Plus: Zuckerberg's estimated wealth falls nearly $20 billion, Gen Z faces AI job pressure, and a Claude Code user reports a cleanup that deleted more than 55,000 files. Hashtag Trending for Tuesday, September 29, 2026, with Jim Love. NorthPoint Development is offering $10,000 to roughly 4,500 eligible households in Hazle Township, Pennsylvania, alongside another $120 million for community programs and services. But residents near the proposed 15-building data center campus worry about noise, property values and divisions within the community. Also in this episode: • Meta's falling shares cut nearly $20 billion from Mark Zuckerberg's estimated fortune across Friday and midday Monday, amid concerns about returns on AI spending. • Goldman Sachs estimates AI reduced monthly U.S. job growth by about 25,000 positions, partially offset by 9,000 additional jobs where AI supports human work. Younger, less-experienced workers face much of the impact. • Wired reports that AI agents are joining workplace conversations, taking assignments and appearing on organizational charts. • Bexorg uses donated human brains to study potential treatments outside the body. The company says the brains cannot regain awareness. • A Claude Code user reports that an automated cleanup followed Windows directory junctions into a working project, deleting thousands of files and local Git history. Claude Code's rewind feature does not cover deletions made through Bash. The incident has not been independently verified.

Is cortisol really the enemy? Or have we completely misunderstood this essential hormone? In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Erin Kinney breaks down what healthy cortisol should actually look like, how chronic stress can leave us stuck in a cycle of exhaustion, and the surprising signs that your nervous system may be dysregulated. We share our own burnout experiences as we explore the connections between cortisol, blood sugar, thyroid function, perimenopause, caffeine, intermittent fasting, and even fasted workouts. Dr. Kinney also reveals why multitasking, emotional suppression, and stealth infections can keep the body in stress mode—and what we can do to strengthen our “relax muscle.” If you've ever felt exhausted but wired, relied on caffeine to get through the day, or wondered why your body isn't responding to all the “healthy” things you're doing, this episode is a must-listen!Dr. Erin Kinney is a Naturopathic Doctor, speaker, and podcast host who helps stressed-out patients balance their hormones, improve their mood, and restore their energy. She runs a private practice in Annapolis, Maryland, specializing in chronic health conditions related to hormonal and nervous-system imbalances, and has guided more than 7,000 people back to vibrant health through her clinic, workshops, retreats, and online programs. Outside of work, she loves spending time with her husband and their five children. SHOW NOTES:0:38 Welcome to the podcast!3:27 About Dr. Erin Kinney4:08 Welcome her to the show!5:36 Why do we need cortisol?7:55 Energy surplus vs deficit10:26 A normal cortisol pattern12:28 Cortisol crash & adrenaline13:55 Perimenopause advice14:30 Lauren & Renee's burnout stories16:06 Signs & symptoms of dysregulated cortisol20:41 How to strengthen your relax muscle22:58 Cortisol testing26:24 How cortisol affects thyroid30:23 Taking a “bed day”32:23 The impact of multi-tasking38:37 Glucose-Cortisol relationship41:08 Intermittent Fasting43:05 Vicious caffeine-sedative cycle44:27 Fasted workouts & fat burning47:35 Stealth infections & cortisol52:03 How emotional suppression affects cortisol57:23 Where to find her book58:04 Her final piece of advice58:40 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Book: The Cortisol CureWebsiteInstagramPodcastYouTubeFacebookAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

I woke up with my heart racing. Later, I had a panic attack on a flight. And I kept asking myself: Is this stress? Is this perimenopause? Or is it both?Ryan and I sit down for a very real (and very Heidi's Lane) conversation about that question—and about a hormone I think deserves more attention: progesterone.I share what I've been learning about ovulation, why progesterone can change during perimenopause, and why sleep, mood, and that “wired but tired” feeling can become such a big part of the conversation.We also talk honestly about my own experience with hormone therapy, the questions I'm bringing to my clinician, and why someone else's dose or plan is never a shortcut to your own answers.And yes, we take a few detours! The challenge community that means so much to me, the “Hey Mom” tattoo in Matix's handwriting, and Ryan patiently following every turn in my brain all make an appearance.

Romans 13:9-14

Have you ever felt like you're just going through the motions, waiting for something better? Or maybe you're struggling to make sense of the pain and suffering in the world around you? This episode of Healing Conversations explores the idea that we're wired for intercession, and that our groanings can be a sacred way to connect with God. In this conversation, the speaker delves into the concept of intercession, drawing on biblical teachings and real-life examples. They discuss how we often try to navigate the complexities of life on our own, but that God has given us a way to intercede, to have someone speak on our behalf. This can be a powerful way to find hope in the midst of uncertainty and pain. The speaker also talks about the importance of understanding decay and pain, and how we often try to avoid or minimize these experiences. However, they argue that intercessors choose to approach pain and suffering in a different way, seeing them as opportunities for growth and transformation. They also explore the idea of hope, and how it's rooted in the biblical teaching that we're patiently waiting for God to bring about a better plan. As we navigate the challenges of life, it's easy to get caught up in complaining or trying to fix everything on our own. But what if we could learn to groan in a way that's not just about complaining, but about seeking God's help and guidance?

Scott Curran is a social impact lawyer, advisor, and educator who spent ten years in the All-Star game of global philanthropy at the Clinton Foundation . When I sit back and look at the wacky headlines and persistent headwinds in our world right now, it can be really easy to throw up our hands . But Scott brings us right back to the science: human beings are naturally wired for good, and our brain chemistry practically throws a party of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins whenever we do something kind or even just watch someone else do it ! Scott candidly shares how a middle-of-the-night couch conversation with his wife turned into a mission to give away a decade's worth of hard-earned tools to help leaders scale their impact . Purpose isn't just a fluffy concept. Purpose drives profits, sparks employee joy, and connects us to our shared humanity . Key Themes & Highlights Humans Are Science-Backed and Wired for Good. Human beings are fundamentally built for reciprocity and community care . Despite negative news cycles, basic brain chemistry releases feel-good neurochemicals whenever we give, receive, or observe acts of kindness . "No headline, no headwind, no culture warrior accusation can change the human reality that we are wired for good, and that it feels good when we do it, and even when we just see it."  Starting a Purposeful Entity Requires Borrowing Success. Launching a nonprofit doesn't require reinventing the wheel because all organizations follow a predetermined regulatory lifecycle . Before starting a new entity, change-makers should first consider plugging their energy into an existing organization . "There's approximately just under 2 million nonprofits in the United States running the gamut of all non-profit work. And the great news is they're all special, but not that unique." The BOPP Framework Drives Organizational Success. Sustainable, purposeful organizations rely on a balance of four core elements: a diverse, independent Board; lean Operations; clear Programs; and impactful Partnerships . "If you want the quick approach to a great organization, I'm gonna give you four things to focus on. It's BOPP." Everyday Corporate Good Builds Community Connection. Organizations don't need to overcomplicate social impact; simple initiatives like corporate service days or employee donation match programs create immense shared value . "Start where you are, focus on the causes that hit most close to home... Being aware and being intentional are the only two things I hope people take away."  Actionable Takeaway Ask your employer if they offer an employee donation matching program to double your impact for free—and if they don't have one yet, invite your leadership team to start one !

Most Americans know Hobby Lobby as a craft store. Investigative journalist Michael Blanding says the bigger story is how the Green family has used the fortune behind the company to advance its understanding of the Bible in American law, culture, education, and politics.Blanding joins Faithful Politics to discuss his new book, The Gospel According to Hobby Lobby. We trace the family's rise from an Oklahoma craft business to the 2014 Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Supreme Court case, which held that closely held corporations could receive protections under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.We also examine the Museum of the Bible, the Green family's controversial acquisition of antiquities, relationships with conservative Christian organizations, Dominionism, Christian nationalism, and Blanding's reporting on the museum as a gathering place for religious and political networks in Washington.The conversation asks a larger question running through Blanding's book: what happens when sincerely held religious convictions are backed by billions of dollars and an effort to shape a pluralistic democracy?BOOKBook: The Gospel According to Hobby Lobby: Inside a Billionaire Family's Quest to Craft a Christian NationBookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9781541703940GUEST BIOMichael Blanding is an investigative journalist and author whose work has appeared in The New York Times, WIRED, Smithsonian, Slate, The Nation, and other publications.

Today is how to FEEL like yourself again, and better, because you can get the body and still not feel like you. I start with the sentence I hear on every call: "I just don't feel like myself." Then the three ways it actually shows up. Feeling flat with no spark, even when life looks good on paper. Tired but wired, snapping over nothing, awake at 3 AM. And numb, living in your head, disconnected from your own body. Then the solutions. Breath and long exhales, heart coherence at about six breaths a minute, and what your HRV and resting heart rate are really telling you. The labs I want you to look at, including a four point cortisol test and blood work through Function Health. And the deepest one, the future self activation I do every morning, plus the alignment questions that decide whether any of it sticks. If you want to do this work with me, The Spark is open. One on one, three months, activations plus labs, nutrition, protocols and peptides. There are 8 spots and application calls are 15 minutes.   I TALK ABOUT: 00:00 Welcome back, and what part 2 is 01:44 What women mean by "I don't feel like myself" 03:08 The Exhale replay, and The Spark 05:00 Feeling flat, with no spark 07:36 What flat looks like on your labs 09:04 Tired but wired, and the snapping 10:05 The cortisol curve and the 3 AM wake up 14:37 Numb and out of your body 19:15 Breath, long exhales and regulating daily 21:38 Heart coherence, and what your HRV is telling you 26:41 Labs, a 4 point cortisol test and Function Health 31:24 The future self activation, and the alignment questions   RESOURCES: The Spark, my one on one program, 8 spots Function Health, about $25 off with my link The LongHer Life Longevity Community Part 1: How to Look Like Yourself Again, and Better The Exhale, my free masterclass replay, up until Sunday night   Part three drops tomorrow: BE like yourself again.

What happens to mathematics when doing mathematics is no longer an exclusively human activity? For years, we've watched artificial intelligence get progressively better at math: solving equations, passing exams, succeeding at mathematical competitions, and generating proofs. But recent developments seem to cross a different kind of threshold. This month, OpenAI announced that an internal AI system had produced a solution to the Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness problem—one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems, designed to represent some of the most difficult unsolved questions in mathematics. The announcement has generated excitement, skepticism, and controversy. But it also raises a much larger set of questions. What does it actually mean to do mathematics? Is mathematics about arriving at a correct answer, or understanding why that answer is true? What happens to ideas like discovery, creativity, and authorship when machines can participate in producing new mathematical knowledge? And what does that tell us about artificial intelligence—and about ourselves? My guest today is Dr. Noah Giansiracusa, a math professor at Bentley University and a faculty associate at Harvard, with a PhD in algebraic geometry from Brown University. Noah is cohost of the podcasts Breaking Math and AI in Academia, and his writing has appeared in The Washington Post, Scientific American, TIME, Wired, Slate, and The Boston Globe, among others. His first book, How Algorithms Create and Prevent Fake News, examined the mathematics and technology underlying our information ecosystem. His latest, Robin Hood Math, asks how people from all backgrounds can use mathematics to navigate—and reclaim some control over—a world increasingly governed by algorithms. Today, we're talking about what happens when those algorithms begin doing mathematics themselves.

You keep telling yourself things will feel different after the next hire, the next quarter, the restructuring, the launch.But what if nothing changes?What if the next two years are simply the last two weeks… repeated?The same Sunday dread. The same brain that refuses to leave work when you do. The same version of you who is brilliant in one room and suddenly contracted in another. The same habit of taking things back because explaining them feels harder than doing them yourself.Here's the uncomfortable part: doing nothing isn't actually doing nothing.Your brain is learning either way.Every time you respond to pressure in the same way, you reinforce the architecture behind that response. And every time you deliberately interrupt and rewire that pattern, you start building something different.So the real question isn't whether you'll change over the next two years.It's what you'll be training yourself to become.In this episode of Wired to Win, I'm taking you into two very different futures: the leader who keeps repeating the patterns that got her here, and the leader who does the work to change them.We're talking about things like…Why your Sunday-night dread is more than “just stress”What happens when your brain never actually leaves workWhy the capable version of you can disappear in the rooms that matter mostHow internal urgency quietly changes the quality of your decisionsWhy waiting for work to calm down may be the most expensive strategy of allWhat two years of repeated survival patterns can reinforceAnd what becomes possible when the compounding starts working for you insteadIn this episode, you'll learn:Why neuroplastic change compounds, and why your current patterns are compounding tooThe difference between managing a leadership pattern and changing the architecture underneath itHow sustained pressure can affect your ability to think strategically, hold complexity, and make long-range decisionsWhy the small moments, taking the task back, postponing the conversation, proving yourself when challenged, matter more than they lookHow to recognize which leadership patterns you are reinforcing right nowWhy “I'll deal with it when things calm down” keeps so many high-performing leaders stuckWhat it can look like when your capable self becomes available under pressure, not only when everything is quietWhy sustainable high performance isn't about becoming less ambitious, it's about changing the internal system carrying that ambitionThe goal isn't to become a leader who never experiences pressure.It's to stop requiring internal pressure in order to lead at your highest level.Because two years from now, you will have reinforced something.The question is what.Your Next Steps:Watch the Free MasterclassIf success still feels heavier than it should… this masterclass will help you understand why.Watch The Rewired Method™ in action How we help women executives end burnout and build sustainable success in less than 90 days...I recorded a step-by-step training for you here: The Sustainable Success Plan for Executive Women LeadersExplore The Rewired Woman™https://therewiredwoman.com/Follow on InstagramConnect on LinkedInCorporate Partnerships & Leadership Programshttps://rewiredglobal.com/corporates/

That is until one day, a series of anonymous accounts on X started proliferating explicit, non-consensual videos of her. This week, Zoe sits down with WIRED's senior writer Ej Dickson to discuss the burnerverse — a sprawling, loosely organized network of anonymous accounts that have turned the sexual humiliation of young women into an online participatory sport. Maddie Kowalski is one of countless young women who've had their lives destroyed by the burnerverse, a loosely connected online community of sports fans. Now she's fighting back. Articles mentioned in this episode: A College Girl Was Exploited on Camera. A Network of Anonymous Men Got to Work Join WIRED's best and brightest on Uncanny Valley as they dissect the collision of tech, politics, finance, and business, from the newest ventures to the effects of inaccurate information from artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots on social protests.

Welcome back to season three of The New Fatherhood podcast.Life with children can often feel overwhelming. And, in a way, that's what this episode is all about.But before you hit play, I have to confess something.This interview was recorded three years ago. Not last month. Not over the summer. Three years ago, I sat down with a writer and father of three Jesse J Anderson, also known as ADHD Jesse. I asked him everything I could think of about ADHD and came away from that conversation promising myself that I was going to book myself an assessment to find out if I had ADHD too.And then I did nothing. For three years. Why? Because nothing was on fire. There was no deadline. Nobody was waiting on it. Jesse was generous with his time and his experience, and I repaid him by leaving our conversation in edit purgatory for years.I've always struggled to understand my relationship with effort and output. I've been writing the newsletter, almost weekly, for five years. I wrote a book. I've read every productivity book there is. I built systems for everything. But somewhere in my thirties it started to dawn on me that they weren't systems at all—they were coping mechanisms. Scaffolding I'd built around something I couldn't see and had never named.Here's what my life actually looks like behind the curtain: I can't start anything without a deadline thundering towards me. The newsletter goes out once a week, and that's the only reason it goes out at all. I'm terrified of being told no in a way that is completely out of proportion. There's a name for this, you'll hear Jesse explain it, and when I first came across it I had to close my laptop to go for a walk. It's why I can spend years writing a book and then find it almost physically impossible to send an email that tells anyone it exists.There's a gap I think about a lot. And it isn't the gap between being a good dad and a bad one. But the gap between the dad you are, in your worst moment, and the one you aspire to be. We treat that gap as a character flaw. But what if it isn't? What if something has always been there, invisible, pulling the strings—and you've spent forty years blaming yourself?Jesse knows all about that gap. In this episode, you'll hear us talking about t-shirt tags and lunchtime detention. About the four things that actually motivate the ADHD brain, and why “because it's important” isn't one of them. And we talk about watching your own kid struggle with the same things you struggle with, and how it feels to know precisely what's coming.Make sure to listen to the end, because when this is over, I'll tell you what happened when I finally did the thing I promised all those years ago.This season of The New Fatherhood is presented by Matic. Matic was founded by two fathers who love technology and wanted to spend less time cleaning the house and more time playing with their kids. That's about as on-brand for this newsletter as it gets. It's a floor-cleaning robot that vacuums and mops on its own, builds a 3D map of your house using cameras on board, and keeps all that data on the device rather than in the cloud. WIRED gave it a 10/10, the only perfect score their reviewer had given in over a decade.

Today, we covered the breaking news of Iran's possible overture on opening the Hormuz Strait, followed by a breakdown of the market's strong risk-on reaction to news of strong demand for Meta's Muse personal AI assistant app, especially the cluster of stocks that rallied the most on the news. Elsewhere, a look at the state of play in FX and interest rates, geopolitical news flow and much more. Today's pod features Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen and is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy. Links Some color on the Meta-Amazon dispute, but you can do better if you want to understand the nature of the issue with an AI prompt like "How best to understand the nature of the Amazon-Meta dispute regarding the blocking of the Muse app and what is at stake in the big  picture for the two companies that lies adjacent to this issue." Wired magazine says that Meta's Muse is better at surveilling than at helping. Sounds about right if you use the Charlie Munger maxim "Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome." Just remember, for Meta, you are the product. A writer who uses AI for some writing tasks but not for most writing says that you should be very careful before allowing AI to write for you, which can turn people away from wanting to every wanting to read what you write again. (HT FTAlphaville.) Did the "last veil of Bank of England independence" just drop last Thursday? PML Macro thinks so. (HT FTAlphaville.)

Tillie Treadwell has seen ghosts, UFOs, strange beings and the nearly invisible Glimmer Man since childhood. But what if the real mystery is Tillie herself? Richard Syrett sits down with Tillie and her husband Artemaeus to explore unusual brainwaves, heightened senses, missing time—and whether some people are biologically wired for the paranormal. GUEST: Tillie Treadwell is a lifelong paranormal experiencer whose encounters reportedly began in childhood and include ghosts, UFOs, missing time, unexplained beings and the elusive “Glimmer Man.” Her experiences have taken an unusual turn as researchers have examined aspects of her physiology, including brainwave activity, hearing and eye structure. Neurodivergent and diagnosed with porphyria, Tillie explores the provocative possibility that what we call paranormal perception may sometimes involve biological differences in how people experience and process reality. GUEST: Artemaeus is Tillie Treadwell's husband, witness and fellow experiencer. Rather than simply accepting Tillie's extraordinary accounts from the sidelines, he says he began encountering unusual phenomena himself after they became a couple. His perspective brings an important second set of eyes to experiences occurring around Tillie and, in some cases, inside their own home.

Romans 13:9-14

“I think our genetic makeup makes us miserable. We evolved to be miserable.” — George Loewenstein Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Yeah, yeah. We've all heard that one before. When Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence in 1776, he remixed Locke's “life, liberty and estate,” replacing the idea of property with happiness. As we know from last week's conversation with the historian Joshua Specht, America's age-old love affair with real estate has been perpetually mortgaged. And our guest today, the behavioral economist George Loewenstein, who happens — probably not coincidentally — to be the great-grandson of Sigmund Freud, offers a similar warning about the ideal of happiness. Happiness' antonym is misery. In his new book The Opposite of Happiness, Loewenstein explains that it's misery, and not happiness, which has simultaneously broken humans and built humankind. We evolved to be miserable, the behavioral economist argues, explaining that English has four times as many words for negative emotions as for positive ones. The depths we can sink to are incomparably deeper and more interesting than the heights we can reach, Freud's great-grandson reassures us. Happiness is a Disneyfied mush while misery is infinitely variegated, he tells us, building a twelve-part taxonomy from envy and regret to loneliness and anxiety. The behavioral economist even invents a “Misery Survey” and cites an experiment he conducted with married couples which found that doubling their sexual frequency left them less happy. So much for sex. Loewenstein spent a lifetime escaping Freud and has ended up desexualizing him for modern America. I've always found behavioral economics to be a particularly miserable subject (ideology dressed up as science). But maybe that's the point. Life, liberty and the pursuit of misery. A Loewensteinian redraft of the Declaration, anyone? Five Takeaways •       We Evolved to Be Miserable. Loewenstein's starting point contradicts the entire happiness industry: misery is the human constant, and happiness the occasional exception. Not because society ruins us — he takes exception to Rousseau's idea that we are born happy and civilized into unhappiness — but because our genetic makeup makes us so. Every negative emotion evolved to push us toward behavior that served our fitness; that is precisely why they are unavoidable. His evidence is asymmetry. English has, by his count, four times as many words for negative emotions as for positive ones. The depths of misery are incomparably deeper than the heights of joy. And happiness is “a big mush,” while unhappiness is infinitely variegated — twelve specific miseries in the book's second half, each with its own facial expression, its own pattern of brain activity, and its own behavior. Novelists, he says, have always known this; they are better psychologists than the academics, and misery is simply more interesting.•       Envy Is Local. Andrew's cheekiest question: does Loewenstein, part of what he calls the second shift of behavioral economics, envy Daniel Kahneman, Amos Tversky and Richard Thaler, the field's Nobel-garlanded founders? He didn't deny it. We don't envy billionaires and trillionaires, he explains; we envy people close to us and just ahead, and those three are the textbook case. Then the move that makes the book humane rather than cynical: meta-emotions. You're not supposed to envy your friends, so when you inevitably do, you feel guilty about feeling envious — misery about misery. Understanding your own negative emotions, he argues, works like understanding another person: you forgive what you understand. And no, this is not a book about selfishness — sympathy, guilt and shame are some of the most social emotions we have. Nor are these first-world problems: the struggling farmer cares about self-esteem, guilt and loneliness as much as anyone.•       The Freud Inheritance. Loewenstein spent much of his career trying to escape his great-grandfather — he wouldn't even mention the connection for years — and now finds himself reinventing him: his research on pain, hunger and sex is, he concedes, a study of what Freud would have called the conflict between id and superego. The family history is its own novel. His mother, Sophie Freud, was the daughter of Freud's eldest son; when the family fled the Nazis, the main branch went to London while she and her mother escaped by bicycling through France. Edward Bernays — Freud's nephew and the father of American public relations — paid for her college education when she arrived in the United States penniless. She later wrote Living in the Shadow of the Freud Family, about feeling rejected by the clan. And the glass-half-empty temperament? From both parents, he says, but more from his father. Andrew's framing: a lifetime escaping Freud, only to end up desexualizing him for modern America.•       The Missing Motive. On Bentham and quantification, Loewenstein is cautious — psychologists can put numbers on feelings, but moving from an inchoate internal state to a figure is genuinely hard. His real hero is Adam Smith, not the Smith of The Wealth of Nations but of The Theory of Moral Sentiments, his first book and the last he revised, and in Loewenstein's view a psychology book of striking modernity. (Andrew notes the Smith of Susan Neiman's evil book last week is the same one; Loewenstein recommends Dennis Rasmussen's book on Smith and Hume, and Rasmussen was on last week too.) His most provocative claim is about self-esteem: probably the single main motivator of human behavior, and yet almost absent from economics — one book and a handful of papers. Money buys happiness only up to a point. And his own experiment, instructing married couples to double their sexual frequency, found they did — and reported less happiness and less closeness. He doesn't quite believe his own result.•       The Happiness Industry. Where the psychology meets the economics. Institutions built on attention — above all the internet companies selling advertising — “don't give a fig about your well-being,” he says, and are amplifying human misery; Meta keeps losing lawsuits because jurors, like everyone else, simply dislike the company. Happiness sells the illusion that the next car, the next pill, the next accomplishment will do it, and advertising plays on a wiring we already have. On therapy he is careful: his friends and family include therapists, the research says therapy works (cognitive behavioral therapy especially), though the cultural focus on mental health may make people more inwardly focused. What strikes him in his students is how casually they mention their therapists, and how anxiety and depression, two separate conditions in his generation, have fused into one. On Trump, his verdict is short: a deeply insecure man driven by feelings of inadequacy. And the sign-off: a Nietzschean moustache, and a Nietzschean book. Andrew's verdict: life, liberty and the pursuit of misery — a Loewensteinian redraft of the Declaration. About the Guest George Loewenstein is the Herbert A.

Congress is looking to rein in Flock cameras; plus, Apple has a new way to prove your iPhone photos are real.But first, it's been a wild week in AI. After the freakout over an Anthropic researcher quitting in protest last week, CEO Dario Amodei called for a slowdown in AI, and his counterpoints Sam Altman and Elon Musk agreed. President Donald Trump? Not so much. He called fears of rogue AI a hoax, and even went after a niche intellectual community that's deeply invested in AI safety: the Effective Altruist movement.Paresh Dave, senior writer at Wired, joins Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino to explain more about all this on this week's “Tech Bytes: Week in Review.”Check out our YouTube page to watch more episodes of “Tech Bytes.”

My guest this week is Steve Silberman, an award-winning science writer who authored the 2015 book NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity, a brilliant book that upends conventional thinking about autism and suggests a broader model for acceptance, understanding, and full participation in society for people who think differently. Steve's articles have appeared in Wired, the New York Times, the New Yorker, the Financial Times, the Boston Globe, the MIT Technology Review, and more. In our conversation, Steve and I talk about neurodivergence, autism, acceptance, tolerance, changing cultures, systemic change, and so much more. As a science writer who researched the history of autism in writing his book for more than five years, Steve brings an incredible breadth of knowledge, as well as passion for the neurodiversity movement, to the show. By the end of this interview I was inspired and motivated for the changes to come, and grateful there are thought leaders like Steve doing this important work in the world. I hope you enjoy our conversation!   Things you'll learn from this episode The impetus for Steve's book NeuroTribes How and why the anti-vaccine movement has negatively affected the autistic community The real impact of language like “epidemic” in relation to neurodifferences like autism How Steve's book NeuroTribes has been received by members of the autistic community Steve's thoughts on how parents raising neurodiverse kids can best support the neurodiversity movement The importance of autistic peer mentoring   Learn more about your ad choices.
