How To End The War With Your Body | Sonya Renee Taylor
23 december 2024 · 1 uur
New episodes come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for free, with 1-week early access for Wondery+ subscribers. Lees meer
---
"Radical self-love" — what it is and how to do it.
It is incredibly common for many of us humans, whatever our gender, to be at war with our bodies -- trying to live up to the people we see in the movies, on social media, or even the versions of ourselves in old pictures. This never-enough-ness can lead to an ambient level of self-loathing that can be incredibly destructive. That's where "radical self-love" comes in.
Our guest today is Sonya Renee Taylor. She is the author of three books, including The Body is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love. She is the Founder and Radical Executive Officer of The Body is Not An Apology. She has come to this work as a result of her own personal pain, as a Black woman inhabiting a body that she says does not conform to societal norms.
In this conversation, we talk about defining radical self-love (and why she believes it's our natural state), tools for cultivating radical self-love, and the connection between being OK with yourself and the larger society.

New episodes come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for free, with 1-week early access for Wondery+ subscribers. Lees meer
---
Very few of us relish chaos and disruption, but they are facts of life, given the nonnegotiable nature of change. In this episode with Zenju Earthlyn Manuel, we're going to talk about how to tune into the value of disruption, and learn how to sit with the chaos.
Zenju Earthlyn Manuel is an ordained Zen priest, holds a Ph.D., and worked for decades as a social science researcher and development director for non-profit organizations. She is also a prolific author.
In this conversation we'll explore:
what to do with the unknown and not having any answers
the power of a "sip of silence" (her term)
what she means by the phrase "death as a doorway to tenderness"
how she defines tenderness - a word that can easily get bogged down in sloppy sentimentality
and what she meant when she wrote "I'm not advocating love as an answer to all of the ills of the world. Then again, it is just that simple to be love."
Content Warning: There are brief mentions of assault; spiritual, sexual, and substance abuse; and racism, including an incident Zenju experienced herself.

Anu Gupta is an educator, lawyer, scientist, and the founder and CEO of BE MORE with Anu, an education technology benefit corporation that trains professionals across corporate, nonprofit, and government sectors to advance DEIB and wellness by breaking bias. His work has reached 300+ organizations training more than 80,000 professionals impacting over 30 million lives. Gupta holds a JD from NYU Law, MPhil in Development Studies from Cambridge University, and BA in International Relations and Middle Eastern & Islamic Studies from NYU.

A peer-reviewed author, he has written and spoken extensively, including on the TED stage, the Oprah Conversation, Fast Company, Newsweek, and Vogue Business. He is the author of Breaking Bias: Where Stereotypes and Prejudices Come From—and the Science-Backed Method to Unravel Them.

Joseph Goldstein is a cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society and the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies, both in Barre, Massachusetts. He is the author of Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening, A Heart Full of Peace, One Dharma: The Emerging Western Buddhism, Insight Meditation and The Experience of Insight: A Simple and Direct Guide to Buddhist Meditation. Joseph has studied and practiced meditation since 1967 under the guidance of eminent teachers from India, Burma, and Tibet and he leads Insight Meditation retreats around the world.
In this episode we talk about:
The three month solo silent meditation retreat Joseph had just finished
How to not suffer in the face of unwanted experiences
Three exercises for slowing down
Pragmatic applications of retreat practice for life in the real world

A journalist-turned-Buddhist-nun shares six phrases – or mantras – to help keep your relationships on the rails.
Relationships can be tricky.

Scientific evidence that spending time in nature has profound impacts on your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
We've got something special planned for you today. We're talking about the massive psychological and physiological benefits of being in nature.
Nature impacts your mood. It has a whole long list of positive benefits for your nervous system, and even changes how you are with other people. In fact, as you'll hear today's guest say, "nature is healthcare".
Dr. Dacher Keltner is one of the world's foremost emotion scientists. He is a professor of psychology at UC Berkeley and the director of the Greater Good Science Center.

This is the first of a three-part series we're doing focused on the benefits of spending time outside. Today we talk about how it impacts sleep, cognition, memory, your nervous system, and your relationships. Next week, we address the 80% of Americans who live in urban areas—how do you derive these benefits? And in week three, we take a deep dive on the science of walking.

Evidence from the guy who pioneered the science.
James Pennebaker is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. He is known for his early research on expressive writing and health. More recently, he has pioneered ways to study people's personalities and behaviors through the analysis of their language use. His text analysis program LIWC is used across disciplines. Author of over 300 scientific articles and 8 books, his research has affected our understanding and treatment of mental and physical health of people dealing with upheavals in their lives.
In this episode we talk about:
The specific form of journaling, called expressive writing or therapeutic journaling, that he invented and studied.
Other kinds of journaling such as to-do lists and gratitude lists.
Why writing things down helps shift our perspective on our stress or trauma.
How that can lead to a cascade of benefits, from improved sleep to improved working memory

Stoicism 101 | Nancy Sherman
4 november 2024 · 1 uur 7 min
New episodes come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for free, with 1-week early access for Wondery+ subscribers. Lees meer
---
What ancient Greeks and Romans figured out about stress reduction.
You may have heard about stoicism, in the common parlance, as having a stiff upper lip, sucking it up, grinning and bearing it, suppressing your emotions, etcetera. Or you may have heard of Stoicism, the ancient Greco/Roman philosophy, that has become the de rigeur set of life hacks among millennial self-optimizers.
In this episode, guest Nancy Sherman argues that Stoicism is way deeper than any of that. She will argue that, in fact, Stoicism is kind of the opposite of all the above. It's a way to truly know your patterns of thought and emotion.
Nancy Sherman is a Professor of Philosophy at Georgetown University. She is an expert in ethics, the history of moral philosophy, moral psychology, military ethics, and emotions. Her most recent book is called Stoic Wisdom: Ancient Lessons for Modern Resilience.
This episode is a rebroadcast from 2021: it's one of our most-listened episodes, and we thought it might be particularly useful in this time of election-related stress.
In this conversation, we:
cover the basics of Stoicism,
how and why capital "S" Stoicism is often misinterpreted,
a meditation practice called "premeditation of evils," which is far more practical than it may sound,
and another practice designed to make you feel "at home in the world".
Content Warning: There is a brief reference to suicide.

How to get the practice into your molecules—not in some militaristic way, but in a way that feels easy and natural.
Alexis Santos has been in the field of mindfulness and meditation since 2001. After graduating from Harvard University in 1995, he spent several years in medical school before leaving his chosen career as a doctor to seek out a different path. It was while traveling in India that he was introduced to insight meditation.
Since that time, Alexis has practiced in many meditative styles and traditions, including with Sayadaw U Tejaniya, the Thai Forest tradition with Ajahn Sumedho, the Tibetan tradition with Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche and within the lay Western insight community where he continues to learn from the growing diversity of voices.
Alexis's primary teacher has been Sayadaw U Tejaniya, from the Burmese Theravada tradition, and with whom he ordained as a Buddhist monk from 2003 - 2005. Sayadaw encouraged Alexis to teach in 2012. Alexis also completed the Spirit Rock/IMS four-year teacher training program with Jack Kornfield and others, including mentors Joseph Goldstein and Carol Wilson.
Alexis teaches meditation at retreat centers around the world. He is featured on the Ten Percent Happier meditation app and is co-founder of Open Door Meditation Community in Portland, Maine where he is a guest teacher.
Alexis's teaching style is natural and uncrafted. He brings a practical, intuitive and compassionate approach to the development of wisdom.

Why the man behind "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" is a self-help junkie.
Judd Apatow is one of the most prolific comedic minds in the industry. Recently, Apatow produced Peacock's buddy comedy Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain and Universal's romcom, Bros, starring and co-written by Billy Eichner. Apatow also directed, produced, and co-wrote with Pam Brady, the Netflix comedy The Bubble and produced and co-directed HBO Films' Emmy®-winning documentary George Carlin's American Dream with Michael Bonfiglio. His Netflix comedy special, Judd Apatow: The Return, released in 2017 and premiered to critical acclaim. Previous director credits include the Emmy®-award-winning documentary, The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up and The King of Staten Island. He produced Academy Award®-nominated The Big Sick and Bridesmaids, as well as Superbad, Pineapple Express and Anchorman. For television, he executive produced Crashing, Girls, and Freaks and Geeks. Off screen, Apatow authored Sicker in the Head, a follow-up to his New York Times best-seller Sick in the Head.
In this episode we talk about:
The role of his parents' bitter divorce in his life and work
The balance between creativity and ambition
Why so many comedians are so neurotic
His creative process, including some gems from the TV writer David Milch
His relationship to panic, and a hilarious story about freaking out on weed
The way he's started to understand the different voices inside of him
His recent experiment with ayahuasca, and what he learned
And the role of comedy when it feels like the world is on fire

From "Impolitic With John Heilemann" | Dan Harris: Meditation, Mental Health, Six-Peckered Goats & The 2024 Election
18 oktober 2024 · 1 uur 13 min
Last month, Dan appeared on Impolitic With John Heilemann — the two guys are old friends — to talk through Dan's strategies for staying sane in the homestretch of this anxiety-fueled, agitation-inducing, existentially unnerving election; why failure is often more productive and profitable (mentally, emotionally, spiritually) than success; how to maintain a sense of calm, balance, and serenity while working harder than, in Dan's phrase, a "six-peckered goat;" and the career earthquake that's led to the big recent changes you've all heard about in the 10% Happier empire. Dan thought that the conversation was terrific, so he asked John if he could offer it to his followers—et voila, here it is! If this taste of John whets your appetite for more, please follow Impolitic With John Heilemann for a twice-weekly all-you-can-eat buffet of fresh, candid, no-holds-barred conversations with the people who shape our politics and culture. Thanks for listening, hope you enjoy, and namaste. Lees meer

"America's Government Teacher" has smart tips for staying calm in turbulent times.
After years of serving as a high school government and law teacher, Sharon McMahon took her passion for education to Instagram, where more than a million people (who affectionately call themselves "Governerds") rely on her for non-partisan, fact-based information.

In addition, she is the author of The Preamble, a Substack newsletter about politics and history.

How to avoid being 'confidently wrong'
How we often get confused between our opinions and our identity—which makes it very hard to change our opinions
The importance of having a diverse media diet
Tips for consuming the news without driving yourself nuts
How to have compassion for people who we completely disagree with
How history can be a balm for hopelessness—an antidote for when we're tempted to conclude that things have never been worse
How everyday people have way more power than we think
And why hope is a choice.
