Modern Life Is Making You Sick, But It Doesn't Have To | Dr. Gabor Maté

<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>Hidden sources of stress — and how to beat them. Also: the myth of normal, the necessity of being disillusioned, and the disutility of comparing your suffering.</p> <p><br /></p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> </p> <p>There's so much to be grateful for in modern medicine. We can all agree that we would not do as well in a world with no Advil or dentistry. And yet, our guest today, who is a renowned doctor, says modern medicine is overlooking something crucial: the pernicious impact that modern living has on our minds and bodies. In other words, we are surrounded by these hidden societal and structural sources of stress and we aren't thinking about how to treat and prevent these factors that are degrading our happiness and our immune systems. </p> <p><br /></p> <p>Dr. Gabor Maté is a bestselling author with an expertise on everything from stress to addiction to ADHD. His latest book is called, <a href="https://drgabormate.com/book/the-myth-of-normal/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture</a></p> <p><br /></p> <p><em>Content Warning: This episode has mentions of child abuse, sexual trauma, suicide and addiction</em></p> <p><br /></p> <p><strong>In this episode we talk about:</strong></p> <ul> <li>What he means by "the myth of normal"</li> <li>How diseases, such as autoimmune conditions, are an "artifact of civilization"</li> <li>How to begin to tackle what Dr. Maté calls, "the social sources of illness" </li> <li>His definition of trauma and the difference between "big T traumatic events" and the trauma of "wounding"</li> <li>How trauma in society is so normalized that we don't even recognize it</li> <li>Whether the term trauma is overused</li> <li>Why comparing suffering is a fruitless endeavor </li> <li>What he means by "the necessity to be disillusioned" </li> <li>The power and possibility of psychedelics </li> <li>Why he thinks we should incorporate shamanic medicine into our western medical framework</li> <li>And what he means by "undoing self-limiting beliefs" and how these beliefs show up in our everyday lives</li> </ul> <p><br /></p> <p><strong>Full Shownotes:</strong> <a href=

Here's What I Learned From Writing A Whole Book About Meditation | Dan Harris

<p><strong>Editor's Note (March 2026):</strong> This episode contains a brief reference to Deepak Chopra. Since this episode was published, documents released by the Department of Justice have revealed Deepak Chopra's connection to Jeffrey Epstein. We find these revelations deeply troubling and do not condone any association with Epstein or his activities. Please know that we have removed our interview with Deepak Chopra from our library.<em><br /></em></p> <p><em>---</em></p> <p><em><br /> New episodes come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for free, with 1-week early access for Wondery+ subscribers.</em></p> <p>---</p> <p>The tables have turned: Dan is interviewed by two of his producers.</p> <p> </p> <p>This is the kickoff episode of our upcoming series celebrating the 10th anniversary of Dan's book, where two of Dan's producers, DJ Cashmere and Lauren Smith, interview him.</p> <p> </p> <p>We talk about the story behind the book, what it was like to have a panic attack on national television, why Dan decided to admit it publicly, how the success of the book utterly transformed his life, and what he learned… Both while writing the book and subsequently.</p> <p> </p> <p>We talk about concepts such as "Respond, not react," why our faults aren't our fault (but they are our responsibility), and whether we all have the capacity to change.

From The Puzzler with A.J. Jacobs | Dan Harris

<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>We're dropping a fun little treat in your feed today: it's an episode of The Puzzler, a new podcast from writer A.J. Jacobs, who was <a href= "https://www.tenpercent.com/tph/podcast-episode/how-to-reframe-your-problems-as-puzzles-aj-jacobs-688" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">my guest on Ten Percent Happier at the beginning of December</a>. His new book, also called The Puzzler, is all about his exploration of the world of puzzles – everything from word games to jigsaw puzzles to Sudoku and beyond – and how what he calls "the puzzle mindset" can really improve your life.</p> <p>So then he asked me to be his guest on <a href= "https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-the-puzzler-with-aj-jacob-114688861/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Puzzler</a>, a daily podcast that he hosts, with so-called "celebrity" guests trying to do puzzles. I've said before that I'm not really a puzzle guy, but A.J. is a delight and it was a lot of fun getting to be on his show – and that's the episode we're sharing with you today. You can find "The Puzzler with A.J. Jacobs" wherever you get your podcasts.

The Science of Breathing | James Nestor

<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>You may be breathing wrong. Here's how to fix it. </p> <p><br /></p> <p>At times, self-improvement can seem like a never-ending hallway filled with limitless shame and insufficiency. So when something as simple as the breath falls into this category, it seems only natural to meet that news with some resistance. Our guest today, James Nestor, argues that many of us, of all things, are breathing incorrectly but that by fixing our breathing, it can help with both physical and psychological ailments.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>Nestor is a science journalist who wrote a book called, <a href= "https://www.mrjamesnestor.com/order-now" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art</a>, which spent 18 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and was translated into more than 35 languages.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>In this episode we talk about:</p> <ul> <li>How Nestor got interested in breathing in the first place</li> <li>Why we are the worst breathers in the animal kingdom</li> <li>The importance of posture</li> <li>The deleterious effects of mouth breathing</li> <li>Why we need to chew more</li> <li>The relationship between breathing and anxiety</li> <li>The relationship between breathing and sleep</li> <li>And we dive into a variety of breathing exercises</li> </ul> <p><br /></p> <p>Where to find James Nestor online:</p> <p>Website: <a href="http://www.mrjamesnestor.com/" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.mrjamesnestor.com</a></p> <p>Social Media:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/mrjamesnestor" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mrjamesnestor/" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></li> </ul> <p><br /></p> <p>Book Mentioned:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.mrjamesnestor.com/order-now" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art</a></li> </ul> <p><br /></p> <p>Other Resources Mentioned:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://scholar.harvard.edu/dlieberman/home" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Daniel E.

How can we get anything done this way?</p> <p>Today we're going to meet the scientist who's done this research, find out what's driving this, and what we can do about it. And the good news is we really can do things about this.</p> <p>We're experiencing a fundamental shift in how we think, work, and focus. It shows up in our blizzard of notifications, zoom fatigue, task switching, and burn out. </p> <p>Dr. Gloria Mark is the Chancellor's Professor of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine. She has been a visiting senior researcher at Microsoft Research since 2012.
