  • I love this podcast

    There are so many podcasts competing for attention. I keep a strict check up after I listen to different podcasts to see how I feel. Am I way too stressed than I was before I started listening? How optimistic am I about the future? How much dumber do I feel after listening?

    I love this podcast because I feel really good after listening to it. I learn something interesting I can implement. And I’m not as terrified about the future - but also not naïve about what might be coming.

  • Very disappointed

    I started listening and really loved the show but then I started seeing some political comments and realized.. it’s just another Trump hating liberal journalist . And I was do disappointed. I respect your political views and really wish it was a 2 way street. It isn’t . God bless but I’m not going to be insulted for my views .

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

That Feeling That Something's Missing, and How To Find It | Vinny Ferraro
Q: Can you say a little bit more about the distinction between healthy desire and unhealthy desire?
Ferraro suggests noticing the quality and tone of a desire. Healthy wanting can tolerate a pause, while compulsive reaching feels urgent and demands immediate obedience.
When the News Feels Like Too Much, Try This | Sharon Salzberg
Q: Surviving the news is hard enough, but how do you do it when it's directly affecting you? My wife is deployed. I keep hearing about the war and I'm just filled with rage because it feels like it will never end. It feels like I'll never have my wife back. It feels like my son will never see his other mom again. How do I approach this without going insane?
Salzberg emphasizes finding community with people facing similar circumstances, so the person can share experiences and feel less alone. Harris recommends setting personal boundaries around news use, guided by awareness of how much the nervous system can handle.
When the News Feels Like Too Much, Try This | Sharon Salzberg
Q: My strategy since the election has been to avoid reading or watching much news. However, plenty leaks through, so I'm generally aware of how bad things are. And every once in a while, I do subject myself to actual engagement with the news. I get so angry that I'm seething. I need some strategies so that I can both be aware of what's going on, take right action when I can, and stay somewhat sane. Suggestions?
Salzberg recommends accepting anger without suppressing it or becoming overwhelmed by it. She suggests noticing its physical qualities, breathing to regulate the nervous system, and asking what constructive action is possible, even if it is small.
That Feeling That Something's Missing, and How To Find It | Vinny Ferraro
Q: Why are we like this?
Ferraro says the question can become a distracting maze; he focuses instead on whether he can pause, notice compulsive wanting, and return to present experience.
Terry Bradshaw On: Clinical Depression, Crying on the Field, and the Mother He Could Never Please
Q: Well, why not?
Bradshaw explains that he did not recognize his depression and believed his recurring sadness was normal. He eventually saw a doctor, a psychologist, and a psychiatrist, who diagnosed clinical depression and began treatment.
