Chasing Life

And I talk a lot about this in my book, Keep Sharp.

I had worked on this book called Keep Sharp for some time, and the role of attention was something that really struck me.

And tip five, eat well. Don't forget how to nourish yourself. If you remember my conversation with Dr. Uma Naidoo from last season, there is a strong connection between your diet and your brain health.

Well, I talk about this a bit in my new book. It's called Keep Sharp, Build a Better Brain at Any Age.

Oh yeah, I definitely have climate anxiety. Sometimes I might even say I have climate despair, you know?

After I had been organizing for like 15 years, I was feeling very hopeless. You know, I was just like, I don't understand how we get ourselves into a formation that can survive.

And I no longer felt that that was the wisest thing to do or the most compassionate thing to do, given what climate predictions were coming across my desk when I was not seeing rapid, swift action from power holders.

And I thought, well, I am surely not the only one feeling this way. Let's do some research and figure out what the psychological impacts of the climate crisis are for other people. And that's why the book was written in the first place.

You know, I have to tell you, just as a bit of a side note, I recently read Ed Yong's book, An Immense World, and it was so funny because I listened to your TED Talk from 2015 actually, so seven years ago, and you were talking about Umwelt back in that talk, which is something, I don't know if you've read Ed's book yet, it's gonna sound very familiar.

He also just published a book called An Immense World, How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us.

We go on what we call a sniff walk. Like we go at his pace and we do what he wants. And what he wants to do is sniff.

Until I read Ed's book, I didn't even know that they could see. I also didn't know that sea turtles use the Earth's magnetic field to allow them to swim around the world and then still find the exact beach where they were hatched.

So each of us is trapped in our own sensory bubble and perceiving just this thin sliver of the fullness of reality.

I think it's that I feel that I gain so much from thinking about the creatures around us. I understand them better, and I understand my world better.

What we found was that no life is good all the time. From moment to moment, happiness changes.

I've read your book. I've read your research.

I'd encourage everyone to read his book, The Good Life.

It's partly happy. Every life has ups and downs. It's a good life is where we feel that we can meet most of the time the challenges that come our way, because challenges are always coming our way.

I always, I read the book and there were times when I felt like, wow, that really seems to fit in this particular scenario. And there's other times when people did not seem to go through the stages or they didn't go through the stages in order or they didn't go through the stages at all.

I'll also take a moment to tell you about a new book that I've just written. It's called World War C. And it comes out October 5th.

So How to Be Yourself is based off of the advice that a lot of socially anxious people will get when they're feeling nervous or anticipating social interaction.

But at the same time, being genuine, being authentic really is the best way to connect and to create a positive feedback loop of less anxiety and more connection.

In your book, you basically say that social anxiety is sort of self-consciousness on steroids.

The classic example, which I use in my book is if we text a friend and then nothing, they don't text us back. Our amygdala might say, she hates me. And our prefrontal cortex can kind of logic it down and say, you know, she's probably in a meeting. She's probably busy. She'll get back to you soon. It's fine.

So when we encounter a threat for someone with social anxiety, that threat sensor, the amygdala might be calibrated like just a little too sensitively.

That's dr Ellen Hendrickson a clinical assistant professor at Boston University Center for anxiety and related disorders and the author of How to Be Yourself Quiet your inner critic and rise above social anxiety

He's also the co-author of the book Healthy Buildings, How Indoor Spaces Drive Performance and Productivity.

You wrote in your book, World War C, about how disinformation spread during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021.

You went on Joe Rogan's podcast to debunk false claims. What did you learn about medical misinformation from that experience?

Sort of on that note, you wrote in your book, World War C, about how disinformation spread during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021.

Stephen King has written some of my all-time favorite books. The Stand, It, Misery.

He handed them this little red book and it was Mary Poppins. And he said, tell me, read it and tell me what you think.

Dad read the book and then read it to me and my older sister, Lori.

And Walt Disney said, that's what it's all about, isn't it?

His basic premise is this, even accomplishing small tasks help us to build confidence, help us to feel successful.

He has been studying psychology and the brain for decades. He's published books and articles. He has a reputation as a renowned neuroscientist, but he still remembers times when even his confidence was low.

He is author of How Confidence Works, The New Science of Self-Belief.

Confidence is a bridge over uncertainty.

Confidence is probably the most important resource in human well-being and human performance, I believe of course.

One of the things that's really cool about Marcus Aurelius is he led this action-packed life. He was emperor of Rome when they were having their own massive pandemic. He's fighting this huge war with the tribes in Germany. He's got all of these day-to-day pressures. But if you read Marcus' journal, The Meditations, he doesn't talk that much about how he's handling his day-to-day stresses. And instead, he writes himself little notes every day about things that he's noticing about himself and things he's noticing about other people that he really cares about that he wants to remember and he thinks are constant in the midst of all of the chaos.
