  • Love so many of them episodes here with the exception for GLP-1 episode

    I can appreciate the discussion of habit change and how we can change habits, however, we need more wariness and skepticism of these drugs that are currently dominating our culture narrative and skewing our view of natural body diversity. I think we also need to be wary of anyone claiming to be an Evangelist of a certain idea or approach (or medication.) Give the 10% episode with Evelyn Tribole a listen if you haven’t already, I think the guest of this episode should give it a listen as well as ... more

  • But plz don’t become an alien and bigfoot show

    Been a fan for a long time. Dan’s a great interviewer. The topics are almost always on point. I especially enjoy his conversations with leading Buddhist thinkers.

    I’m leaving this review now because the most recent ep is about aliens and bigfoot… (wtf).

    Please do NOT go down this road!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sara Bareilles On: The Feelings You Fear Might Destroy You, What Antidepressants Actually Did to Her Creativity, and Why There's Nothing to Fix

Medication is framed as a tool that restores balance and helps manage anxiety and depression, allowing her to be more present and capable in her life and art, with an emphasis on using therapy and meditation alongside meds.
Sara Bareilles On: The Feelings You Fear Might Destroy You, What Antidepressants Actually Did to Her Creativity, and Why There's Nothing to Fix
Q: What is the mechanism by which grief changes you?
Grief is described as a gateway to truth that softens, awakens, and makes present the awareness of the moment, while also creating a vulnerability that can be harnessed into meaningful art.
How To Handle AI Anxiety: A Computer Scientist and a Buddhist Teacher On Managing Uncertainty | Cal Newport & Matthew Brensilver
Q: Cal, how worried should we be about the job displacement angle?
In the near term, not very worried; engineers are increasingly coding by hand again and automation tends to augment rather than fully replace many jobs, with some roles changing rather than disappearing.
The Science of Habit Change, Why GLP-1s are Disrupting It, and How To Use It To Have Better Conversations | Charles Duhigg
Q: What is a keystone habit and why does it matter for broader behavior change?
Keystone habits are powerful because when they change, they set off a cascade of other changes in related behaviors and even self-identity, making multiple patterns more malleable.
The Science of Habit Change, Why GLP-1s are Disrupting It, and How To Use It To Have Better Conversations | Charles Duhigg
Q: What is the basic architecture of a habit and how can you apply it to everyday goals like exercising?
A habit has a cue, a routine, and a reward. By identifying the cue and the reward, you can redesign the routine to achieve the same reward more healthily, which makes the new habit easier to maintain than relying on willpower alone.
