SUPERAGENCY: What Could Go Right With AI?

A recent Pew Research survey found that most Americans are more worried than excited about AI. Reid Hoffman, however, isn't one of them. He knows the risks — arms races, runaway superintelligence, the whole humans-being-turned-into paperclips scenario — but he's still convinced that AI is poised to usher in an era of extraordinary human progress. And as you'll hear in this episode, he makes a pretty good case. Reid is the co-founder of LinkedIn, Inflection AI, and Manas AI, a partner at the venture capital firm Greylock, and host of the podcasts "Masters of Scale" and "Possible." Just this week, he published a thrilling new book called "Superagency: What Could Possibly Go Right with Our AI Future." Today, he tells Rufus why he's "unequivocally very optimistic" about AI (and why you should be, too), how he's using AI in his daily life, and why he doesn't think DeepSeek is as much of a game-changer as some people say. 📱 Follow The Next Big Idea on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

WINTER: The Secret to Thriving in the Darkest Season

In our deeply divided nation, there's one thing many of us seem to agree on: winter is the worst. A recent study found that nearly half of Americans would skip winter if they could. Yet not everyone dreads the cold months. Psychologist Kari Leibowitz has spent years studying these winter-lovers, and she's arrived at a surprising truth: people who thrive this time of year aren't just born that way — they've learned to see the season differently. So can you. Guest: Kari Leibowitz, author of "How to Winter" Host: Caleb Bissinger 📩 Want big ideas sent straight to your inbox every morning? Sign up for our Book of the Day newsletter

DRIVE: A Fresh Look at the Science of Motivation (with Daniel Pink)

What drives human motivation? For years, the answer seemed simple: rewards. Dangle the right carrot — a bonus, stock options, "Employee of the Month" certificate — and people will perform. But Daniel Pink's 2009 bestseller "Drive" flipped this idea on its head. Drawing on decades of scientific research, Dan revealed that our deepest motivations come from within: the innate drive for autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Now, 15 years after "Drive" revolutionized our understanding of motivation, Dan joins us to discuss how this science has evolved and what it means for anyone trying to motivate themselves or others in today's rapidly changing world. 💿 You can find Dan's previous appearances on the show here 📰 And follow his Washington Post column "Why Not?" 🎧 Check out our Next Big Idea Classics episodes with James Clear and Kim Scott 📱 Follow The Next Big Idea on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

I have enjoyed this podcast for several years. It is thought provoking and informative from a platform that is based on learning. The majority of episodes would get 5 stars. But the NEXUS Part 1 podcast ended with a strong political bent that was disturbing. The last few minutes could and should have been edited out. Keep your podcast politically neutral and allow your listeners to come to their own conclusions.

Used to love all the great book recommendations, but Casey Means? Really? You should be ashamed spreading health misinformation. Now I have zero trust in any of your future recommendations.
