Have we become more fragile?

Does it seem to you that we have become more fragile? Not only people, but culture, climate -- even whole countries -- seem brittle, one step away from crisis and catastrophe. In the latest Book Case podcast, my colleague Dr. Dan Lewis and I review two new books on the subject. Not only do they provide a provocative explanation for this trend – the way we think about risk and growth is wrong, even harmful – but also a number of concrete tools readers can apply to actually benefit from uncertainty and danger.

The Most Important Book on Psychotherapy?

Dan and Scott return to discuss two books. The first is what many consider the most authoritative volume on psychotherapy: The Handbook of Psychotherapy and Behavior Change. Published in multiple editions since the late 1970's, these massive volumes review the evidence about "what works," separating fluff and nonsense from facts. The second book is, "Ghost Hunters," Deborah Blum's delight history of the search for life after death. What, you might reasonably ask, could these vastly different books have in common?
