The Science Of How Nature Changes Your Brain—From Sleep To Cognition To Your Nervous System | Dacher Keltner

<p><em>New episodes come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for free, with 1-week early access for Wondery+ subscribers.</em></p> <p><em>---</em></p> <p>Scientific evidence that spending time in nature has profound impacts on your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.</p> <p>We've got something special planned for you today. We're talking about the massive psychological and physiological benefits of being in nature.</p> <p>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". </p> <p><a href="https://www.dacherkeltner.com/" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr. Dacher Keltner</a> 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. He has over 200 scientific publications and six books, including Born to Be Good, The Compassionate Instinct, The Power Paradox, and Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life. He has written for many popular outlets, from The New York Times to Slate, and has consulted extensively for Google, Apple, and Pinterest, on issues related to emotion and well-being. He also hosts the podcast The Science of Happiness.</p> <p>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. </p> <p><br /></p> <p><strong>Related Episodes:</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://www.happierapp.com/podcast/tph/dacher-keltner-546" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#546.

Stoicism 101 | Nancy Sherman

<p><em>New episodes come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for free, with 1-week early access for Wondery+ subscribers.</em></p> <p>---</p> <p>What ancient Greeks and Romans figured out about stress reduction.</p> <p>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 <em>de rigeur</em> set of life hacks among millennial self-optimizers. </p> <p>In this episode, guest <a href="https://www.nancysherman.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nancy Sherman</a> 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. </p> <p>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.

From "Impolitic With John Heilemann" | Dan Harris: Meditation, Mental Health, Six-Peckered Goats &amp; The 2024 Election

<p>Last month, Dan appeared on <a href= "https://puck.news/podcasts/impolitic/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=21020658896&campaign_type=&campaign_id=21020658896&placement=g&utm_content=&adset_id=160321680633&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwpbi4BhByEiwAMC8JnReo3xSR_MZYnklLgwAkOupumpXFSH-tBs56BB_0l2Soc-RurYRprBoCKqcQAvD_BwE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Impolitic With John Heilemann</a> — 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.</p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p>
