    Unabridged Interview: Shankar Vedantam

    This is our unabridged interview with Shankar Vedantam.  We all like to believe that we live our lives rationally, deliberately, consciously. But what if our conscious decision making is just the tip of the iceberg?  “ I feel like I have a full picture of what's happening inside my own mind,” says Shankar Vedantam. But it turns out “there is a large portion of our mind that's working outside of our conscious awareness.”  Shankar founded Hidden Brain Media in order to teach people what science has uncovered about our brains. In this episode, he discusses why we’re not as autonomous as we think we are, and the profound implications for the ways we act, think, and live.  Show Notes  Resources mentioned this episode:  “Hidden Brain” by Shankar Vedantam  Hidden Brain Website  Shankar’s TED Talk  Similar NSE episodes:  Dacher Keltner: How Awe Will Transform Your Life  Kristin Neff: The Power of Self-Compassion  Amishi Jha: Push-ups for Your Brain  Heather Holleman: The Art of Conversation  PDF of Lee's Interview Notes  Transcript of Abridged Interview  Want more NSE?

    Unabridged Interview: Nadia Bolz-Weber

    This is our unabridged interview with Nadia Bolz-Weber.  “When I left the Christian Fundamentalism of my childhood, I became an activist.”  Christian Fundamentalism is often looked down upon for its dualistic, black-and-white outlook, which is often used for policing behavior. But, Nadia Bolz-Weber explains, these are the same extreme tendencies that she found in secular activism after she left the church.  Later in life, after working as a comedian and entering recovery, Nadia began to untangle the mindset that had taken her from one extreme to the other. Her long journey has since led her to becoming a Lutheran pastor and a three-time bestselling author. In this episode, she tells her story.  Show Notes  Resources mentioned this episode:  “Shameless” by Nadia Bolz-Weber  “Pastrix” by Nadia Bolz-Weber  Similar NSE episodes:  Philip Yancey: Where the Light Fell  Kelly Corrigan: How Vulnerability Leads to Connection  Musa al-Gharbi: We Have Never Been Woke  Suzanne Stabile: Exploring the Enneagram  PDF of Lee's Interview Notes  Transcript of Abridged Interview  Want more NSE?
