ReSocial

Anthony Silard

Given the skyrocketing rates of loneliness, depression, anxiety and suicide since the release of the first iPhone in 2007 and Android phone a year later, we can say that our first attempt as human beings at creating healthy social relationships has largely failed.   I’m Dr. Anthony Silard, your host of ReSocial. Are you the type of person who values nothing more in your life than your close relationships? If you are, ReSocial was created for you. We bring in the top thought leaders in the world at the nexus of research and practice to help you rediscover, reflect on and renew the CMSRs – the Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships - in your life. Let’s get started so you can create the life you have imagined – a life filled with CMSRs.

    Dr. Kristen Shockley – Women are Burning Out in Zoom Meetings – Here’s Why

    If working from home is so exhausting, why do people prefer it? Why do organizations keep fighting about bringing people back to the office? Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs.   Today I'm joined by Dr. Kristen Shockley, whose NSF-funded research into remote work patterns reveals something surprising: people who work from home actually work the same amount as office workers. But they're spending the time they save differently. And some of those differences are genuinely healthy.   Information about Kristin’s research: https://harbert.auburn.edu/directory/kristen-shockley.html   ReSocial and Anthony Silard: ·         ReSocial on ABC/KMET with podcast links: https://www.kmet1490am.com/resocial ·         Are you willing to tell us what you enjoyed about ReSocial and what you think can be improved?

    Dr. Alicia Grandey – Women are Shamed about their Bodies in the Workplace

    Many of our listeners are exhausted. They're managing invisible demands — a health transition, a shift in their body, emotions they can't quite control — while performing competence and calm at work. They're faking it because that's what the job requires, what their industry demands, what they've learned will keep them safe.   Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs.   I'm joined today by Dr. Alicia Grandey, a distinguished professor of industrial-organizational psychology at Penn State University and the author of Emotionally Charged: How to Lead in the New World of Work. Her research shows that there's usually a reason why trying harder to manage yourself isn't working. When you spend your energy faking emotions instead of feeling them, you don't just burn out. You become invisible. You become lonely. The solution isn't more discipline or better emotional management. It's understanding what you need to feel safe enough to be yourself and recognizing that authenticity, not performance, is the foundation of real connection.   Alicia’s new book Emotionally Charged: https://bit.ly/42YBllr More information about Alicia’s research: https://psych.la.psu.edu/people/aag6/   ReSocial and Anthony Silard: ·         ReSocial on ABC/KMET with podcast links: https://www.kmet1490am.com/resocial ·         Are you willing to tell us what you enjoyed about ReSocial and what you think can be improved?

    Dr. Nicholas Epley – Always on My Mind, Never Shared: The Cost of Withheld Gratitude

    Many of our listeners feel thankful for something in their lives: their families, close friendships, comfortable homes, good health. How many of us keep that gratitude to ourselves? Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs.   I’m joined today by Dr. Nick Epley, professor at the University of Chicago and author of the upcoming book A Little More Social. We’re talking about the choices that keep us more isolated than we need to be and why the connections we are most likely to avoid are the ones that would almost always reward us. I want to turn now to a specific form of reaching out that Nick’s research shows is both more powerful and more neglected than almost anything else we can do: expressing gratitude.

    Dr. Juliana Schroeder – Going to Text Instead of Call? Think Again

    Have you ever been in a conversation where you could feel—almost physically—that the other person wasn't trying to understand you, they were just trying to win? Most of us have been on both sides of that divide.   Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs.   Today we’re speaking with Professor Juliana Schroeder, who teaches Negotiations and Conflict Resolution at Berkeley Haas. Her research reveals something counterintuitive: the way we approach disagreement is almost perfectly designed to fail. She's discovered what actually works in hard conversations—whether between teenagers from opposite sides of a conflict or two people in the same house trying to find their way back to each other.

    Dr. Jenny Radesky – What Distracted Parents are Really Saying to Their Kids

    Many of our listeners graduated into adulthood in a different world than the one their children inhabit. You navigated your own childhood without a smartphone in your pocket, a notification pinging every few seconds, an algorithm deciding what you see. And now you're trying to parent in an environment that moves faster, connects deeper, and—if we're honest—works directly against the kind of presence and conversation that builds CMSRs.   Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs.   Today I'm joined by Dr. Jenny Radesky, a developmental pediatrician at the University of Michigan and co-Medical Director of the American Academy of Pediatrics' Center of Excellence on Social Media and Youth Mental Health. Her career is built on a simple but radical premise: the problem isn't you, the parent, trying harder to manage screens. The problem is the systems—the design choices, the business incentives, the lack of federal guardrails—that make it almost impossible for families to build authentic connection in the first place.

    Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky – The Five Mindsets for Feeling Loved

    Feeling loved is something we build through how we choose to show up in every conversation, with every person who matters to us. And the power of that—the part that's actually within your control—starts with the first move. It's yours to make. Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs.   We’re joined today by Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky, author of How to Feel Loved, to discuss her research which shows us that how we listen—how we stay genuinely curious about the people we love—may be one of the most powerful things we can change if we want to feel more loved and help the people we care about feel the same way.

    Dr. Richard Boyatzis – What Happens When You Overdose on Convenience

    Have you ever ended a long week feeling completely spent or like you gave everything and somehow came back with less than you started? Or maybe you have someone in your life who keeps pushing, keeps achieving, but seems to be running on fumes and doesn't know why. That feeling isn't a personal failing, and it has a solution.   Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs.   Today I'm joined by Dr. Richard Boyatzis, Distinguished Professor at Case Western Reserve University and author of The Science of Change. Over fifty years, Richard has studied how people actually change and what makes the relationships around us either restore us or quietly drain us dry. He will share what the neuroscience of renewal and human connection can offer all of us who are tired of feeling tired.

    Your Attention Please – How Many of Our Tech Companies are Harming Our Children

    Many of our listeners picked up their phones this morning and scrolled before getting out of bed. Some of you are still holding yours while listening to this. And a lot of you have felt, at some point, a small voice asking: Is this what I actually want? Is this how I want to spend my attention, my time, my relationships? But here's the thing—it's not just a personal weakness or a lack of willpower. It's by design. Today on ReSocial, we're talking to the creators and contributors of Your Attention Please, a film that explores how so many of us became addicted to our phones and asks who built them that way?   Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs.   Today I'm joined by Sara Robin and Jack LeMay, filmmakers, and Kristin Bride, whose story of loss became the moral compass of this film. Together, they've created something that moves beyond personal blame and points toward collective healing—and that starts with understanding how we got here.   How to View Your Attention Please: https://www.yourattentionplz.com   ReSocial and Anthony Silard: ·         ReSocial on ABC/KMET with podcast links: https://www.kmet1490am.com/resocial ·         Are you willing to tell us what you enjoyed about ReSocial and what you think can be improved?
