    Hope for Cynics

    We often hear the term “naive optimism,” but the fact is, most of us are living in “naive cynicism.” Dr. Jamil Zaki joins the show today to explain why cynicism harms our well-being and businesses. He also gives us ways to combat it. Dr. Jamil Zaki is the Director of the Stanford Social Neuroscience Lab. He has gathered his latest research in a new book, “Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness.” He walks us through the difference between healthy skepticism and cynicism, why businesses function better when cynicism is directly addressed, and the power of hope. If you’ve noticed cynicism in your organization, loved ones, or yourself, this episode will give you tools to overcome it.

    Hyperefficient: Optimize Your Brain to Transform the Way You Work

    Mental fatigue is real. We live in a world where we have to make a thousand good decisions each day, and we’re expected to be highly creative at our jobs. That’s why it’s critical to learn how to optimize our brains to function well in this reality. Our guest today, Dr. Mithu Storoni, is here to give us some science-back tactics. Dr. Mithu Storoni is an University of Cambridge trained physician, neuroscience researcher, and ophthalmic surgeon. She advises multinational corporations on mental performance and stress management. She has accumulated her knowledge in her latest book, “Hyperefficient, How to Optimize Your Brain to Transform the Way You Work.” If you think being chained to your desk from 9am-5pm or even 5am-9pm makes you an allstar worker, think again. Dr. Mithu explains that we need to tap into the natural rhythms of the brain, and take advantage of what we now know about biochemistry: walking and naps are important for creativity and productivity. Take a listen as she explains complex topics in a clear and compelling way.

    The Quest for the American Dream with Mark Matson

    The American Dream is still alive and well, and Mark Matson wants to make sure everybody knows it. Mark joins us on the show to talk about his new book, “Experiencing the American Dream: How to Invest Your Time, Energy and Money to Create an Extraordinary Life.” Mark states that schools are promoting victimhood and entitlement, rather than hard work. He warns about seeing money as an evil thing, giving the example of his grandfather remaining poor his whole life because he held this view. He explains the American Dream is not an amount of money in your bank account, but rather a mindset about freedom that doesn’t exist in many other countries. Mark also gives us a bit of investment advice regarding the S&P, Bitcoin, and even DraftKings. So be sure to stay tuned until the end!

    LEAD BIGGER: The Transformative Power of Inclusion

    What does “inclusion” mean anyway? Lately, “inclusion” is a buzzword, and when paired with “diversity” and “equity” it generates a lot of heat and noise.

Anne shares what she’s learned from the research and her own experience about how inclusion impacts decisions about the workforce, investors, and the market.

    The Secret Language of the Body

    Push it down and power through. That’s how many of us have become high-achievers. But that’s also how many of us have developed physical and emotional unwellness. Our guests on the show today explain how to reconnect with our bodies to achieve more for internal selves. Today we’re joined by Jennifer Mann and Karden Rabin, co-authors of “The Secret Language of the Body.” They tell us their personal journeys of being high-achievers, but struggling with fatigue and illness, to being happy, healthier individuals. The key, they share, is tuning into the secret language of the body. The secret language of the body is sensations, emotions, behaviors, postures, movements, gestures, etc. Jennifer and Karden encourage us to bring awareness to that language, interrupt our typical negative response to it, and redesign a new response. Taking the responsibility to redesign our response is hard, they admit, but it opens up so many beautiful, powerful possibilities.
