    #36 Henry Zhu: Let's Talk About Male Mental Health and Masculinity

    Henry Zhu studied psychology at Harvard and is now Chief of Staff at The JED Foundation, which aims to protect the emotional health of, and prevent suicide for, teens and young adults. While the foundation advises schools on mental health policies and runs PSAs with celebrities like Billie Eilish and leagues like the NBA, Henry is especially interested in male mental health and modern masculinity overall. Basically, how the culture pushes boys and men to think and behave in a certain way that is getting in the way of guys being their healthiest selves. As you might be able to guess, that’s where what we focus our conversation on today. Relationships. Vulnerability. Self worth. All the things that make us whole. And don’t let Henry’s soft spoken nature fool you - he is incredibly passionate, knowledgable, and ambitious about improving mental health for young people and males in particular.

    #35 Dr. John Weisz: Treating Youth Mental Health

    Dr. John R. Weisz, Ph.D., is a Professor of Psychology at Harvard where he focuses his research on developing interventions for youth mental health problems.  He is a past president of the Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology and the International Society for Research in Child and Adolescent Psychopathology as well as a recipient of the James McKeen Cattell Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association for Psychological Science. At Harvard, Dr. Weisz's Lab for Youth Mental Health focuses on developing, implementing, and testing psychological treatment interventions to help alleviate anxiety, depression, conduct problems, ADD/ADHD, and post-traumatic stress in kids. The thing is, most children present multiple problems at the same time. To best treat kids with a profile of mental health issues, Dr. Weisz and his team have worked hard to combine components of the best tested and proven interventions into one comprehensive approach. On top of explaining what that transdiagnostic approach looks like, we talk more generally about other treatments I'm trying to better understand like CBT and medication and also dive into brief digital interventions. They are 30 to 45 minutes, interactive, delivered online without any supervision needed, and most importantly proven - making them a great way to expand the accessibility of mental health care that is so desperately needed. Please enjoy.

    #33 Michael Norton (Harvard Business School Professor): Using Rituals to Change How We Feel and Money to Buy Happiness

    Today, Harvard Business School Professor Michael Norton joins the show. His research covers a range of topics, but in this one we really tackle rituals - what they are, when to implement them, and why they help - and then cover his older research on money - does more money make us happier? How should we spend our money to change how we spend our time? What about buying experiences? - and a lot more. While he’s no doubt an expert, that says nothing about how thoughtful and kind Mike is - an entirely different lesson I take from this conversation and from having known him.

    #30 Adam Stone: Team USA Collegiate Pitcher on Mindset Secrets, Pre-Game Jitters, Gaining 40 Pounds, and Bouncing Back from Tommy John Surgery

    Adam Stone is a pitcher for the Team USA Collegiate National Team, Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod Baseball League, and Harvard Baseball. He's a top professional prospect as a starting pitcher, standing at 6 foot 6 and over 215 pounds, and getting it up to 98 miles an hour with a wipeout slider—but he won't tell you that.  After listening back, I realized that Adam gives a crash course in sports psychology in this one. stress appraisal—how he re-frames his pre-game jitters as getting locked in self-talk—what he says on the mound and how he gathers confidence mental imagery—seeing a game before it happens positive mental approach—bouncing back from Tommy John surgery (a rehab process that takes a whole year) Beyond that, we talk about what he learned about preparation from playing alongside the best college guys in the country and we even dive into how he gained 40 pounds in a little over a year.

    #29 David Havelick: How Harvard (And You) Can Combat Climate Change

    David Havelick is a Senior Sustainability Manager at Harvard, focused on overseeing the university's climate impact.  While there are a bunch of different areas for improvement, David is especially committed to Harvard's climate impact through food. He helped champion Harvard joining the Cool Food Pledge which is a commitment to reducing the school's green house gas emissions from food by 25% by 2030 - an effort we connected over. In this one we talk about how you and I can be more environmentally friendly - and the answer isn't a reusable water bottle or recycling. His answer actually might surprise you by focusing more on groups and less on individual responsibility.  Then we dial in on food. Since it's a top contributor to global climate change, what can be done? How's Harvard thinking about this issue?  Then we wrap up with learning more about David and especially his journey towards acting in alignment with his values - particularly with his food choices as someone who avoids animal based products for moral and environmental reasons.
