**🌪️ From Chaos to Clarity: A Rockstar's Journey to Redemption 🎸🕊️** Growing up on a tour bus with Ozzy Osbourne as your dad, "normal" was never in the cards. Fame hit hard when *The Osbournes* skyrocketed—and so did addiction. Jack Osbourne took his first drink at 14 and was snorting 400mg of Oxycontin with Jack Daniels not long after. The rush? Temporary. The loneliness? Crushing. By 17, worn out, depressed, and on the brink, he entered rehab—not for a miracle, but for structure. Slowly, sobriety took hold. Chores, schedules, and reflection replaced the chaos. The turning point? Becoming a dad. Now, Jack knows that version of himself still lives inside—but so does the strength to choose differently every day. 🌅 **“The Universe unfolds exactly as it should.”** And for Jack, that’s meant trading destruction for purpose—and loving every second of fatherhood. 💙 Folllow this Podcast for daily Episodes ----------------------------10:23-30 ----------- Learn more about your ad choices.

Excessive goal-setting has made us depressed. Lisa Miller, a Columbia psychology professor, explains what could save us. What if our innate spirituality was the antidote to the escalating rates of mental health issues in the world? Dr. Lisa Miller, a Columbia University professor, studies the profound interplay between spirituality and mental health. She argues that our modern obsession with achievement has led to neglect of our spiritual side, contributing to increased depression and despair. In contrast, "awakened awareness," a state where we are receptive to life's signals and guidance, can serve as a neuroprotective mechanism against such issues. Emphasizing the universality of spirituality, irrespective of religiosity, she suggests altruistic acts as a means to strengthen our spiritual core. Such acts, according to her, could ignite a journey of recovery and holistic wellness. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Lisa Miller: Lisa Miller, Ph.D., is a professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University. She is the Founder and Director of the Spirituality Mind Body Institute, the first Ivy League graduate program and research institute in spirituality and psychology, and has held over a decade of joint appointments in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University Medical School. Her innovative research has been published in more than one hundred peer-reviewed articles in leading journals, including Cerebral Cortex, The American Journal of Psychiatry, and the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

University College London professor Brian Klaas exposes the ugly truth about world leaders. Political scientist Brian Klaas uses philosophical thought experiments like the "trolley problem" to explore the moral complexities faced by leaders when making decisions under immense uncertainty. According to Klaas, Winston Churchill's World War II choices serve as real-life examples of such dilemmas. Klaas identifies four factors—dirty hands, learning, opportunity, and scrutiny—that may falsely appear as corruption in leaders. "Dirty hands" refers to leaders making harm-inflicting decisions when all options are bad. "Learning" means leaders becoming more efficient at causing harm over time. "Opportunity" signifies the increased chances of those in power to cause harm, while "scrutiny" refers to heightened public examination of leaders' actions. Klaas asserts that misinterpretations of these factors can lead to incorrect problem diagnoses and solutions. While these factors should not absolve leaders from accountability, they do provide a nuanced understanding of leadership complexities. 0:00 Cracking the Enigma code: Churchill’s WWII trolley problem 2:07 Why all leaders make bad decisions 2:42 4 factors of the corruption illusion 3:12 #1 The dirty hands problem 3:38 #2 The idea of learning 4:09 #3 The problem of opportunity 4:30 #4 The problem of scrutiny ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Brian Klaas: Associate Professor of Global Politics at University College London, Contributing Writer for The Atlantic, author of Corruptible: Who Gets Power and How It Changes Us, and Creator/Host of the award-winning Power Corrupts podcast. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------11:24-5 ----------- Learn more about your ad choices.

Why do the worst people rise to power? University College London professor Brian Klaas responds. George Washington famously didn’t want to become the president of the United States, but he accepted the job and performed it well. That’s how people should feel about important leadership positions, according to how political scientist Brian Klaas thinks about the role of power in society. Klaas says that power should be a burden on people because leaders have to make decisions that will ultimately have negative consequences for many people. One problem: some humans don’t care about those consequences. And, according to Klaas, our institutions don’t do a very good job of screening these people out of important leadership spots. Klaas suggests implementing psychological screening for top jobs, asking questions to determine why someone seeks power, and identifying whether they are in it for themselves or for the greater good. These measures can help to ensure that the right people are in positions of power, whether that means leading a company, governing a nation, or handling nuclear weapons. 0:00 Power should be a burden / Power should keep you up at night 1:18: The dark triad personality traits 1:43 Machiavellianism 2:06 Narcissism 2:40 Psychopathy 4:04 Psychological screening for powerful jobs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Brian Klaas: Associate Professor of Global Politics at University College London, Contributing Writer for The Atlantic, author of Corruptible: Who Gets Power and How It Changes Us, and Creator/Host of the award-winning Power Corrupts podcast. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------11:24-5 ----------- Learn more about your ad choices.

“What did you win? You won awkward silence. You won their contempt. You won the first to apologize. When you win an argument, you will lose their confidence, you will lose their respect, you will lose the connection.” What if every argument you’ve ever “won” actually cost you something way more valuable? Whether that be respect, connection, or trust, lawyer and author Jefferson Fisher argues that when you try to control the conversation, you end up losing something far more important. Instead of fighting to be right, Fisher invites us to unravel the tension of disagreement and examine the real triggers that lie beneath. --------------------------------------11:24-5 ----------- Learn more about your ad choices.

Sabine Hossenfelder talks about Albert Einstein, dead grandmothers, the physics of aging, and more in this full interview with Big Think. In this Big Think interview, physicist Sabine Hossenfelder discusses a variety of topics, including the search for a theory of everything, information preservation in the laws of nature, the mysteries of entropy, and the measurement process in quantum mechanics. She further provides an overview of the four fundamental forces of nature and the challenge of uniting them into one coherent whole. Hossenfelder also addresses John Horgan's book The End of Science, which posits that humanity is nearing the end of major scientific discoveries. Contrary to Horgan's perspective, Hossenfelder believes that we are nowhere close to a theory of everything or the end of scientific discovery. She highlights the lack of a successful theory for quantum gravity and the unresolved issues in the measurement process in quantum mechanics as evidence that there is much more to discover. Hossenfelder also suggests that finding answers to these questions could lead to significant technological advances, emphasizing the ongoing potential for progress in both theoretical understanding and practical applications. 0:00 Meet Sabine Hossenfelder 0:20 Why did you pursue a career in physics? 2:07 Are spiritual ideas compatible with modern physics? 3:28 Is my dead grandmother still alive? 4:38 What is Einstein’s concept of “Now”? 9:52 What is the block universe? 11:41 How do the laws of nature preserve information? 13:21 What are the two cases where information could get destroyed?

**🧘 What Enlightenment *Really* Means in Zen — And Why It’s Not What You Think ✨** Enlightenment. We chase it like a prize—something to attain, something to *keep*. But in Zen, it's not about bliss or a permanent state of awakening. Instead, it’s about *seeing clearly*: 🌐 Realizing the deep, ever-shifting interconnectedness of everything—where *you* and *I*, this chair, and the whole universe, are not truly separate. Yes, people have intense spiritual experiences—moments of pure oneness. But Zen warns: don’t cling to them. Even after awakening, you still have to do the laundry 🧺 and brush your teeth 🪥. There’s no escape from daily life. True enlightenment isn’t about staying “high.” It’s about how you *act* in each moment: 🌱 Are you kind? 🌍 Are you living with awareness of how deeply connected you are to others and the planet? Zen reminds us: **There are no enlightened people—only enlightened actions.** So skip the perfection fantasy. Enlightenment is not an endpoint—it’s a way of *being*.

Is it better to be rational or optimistic? Steven Pinker explains. There is no force in the Universe called progress. But there are plenty of natural forces that seem to only make it harder for us to make progress as a species, such as disease, the laws of entropy, and the dark sides of human nature. So, what pushes humanity forward in the face of all these obstacles? To the psychologist Steven Pinker, the answer is rationality: When people use their reasoning skills and other cognitive abilities to help improve the lives of others, the result is progress. From pseudoscience to religious extremism, irrational beliefs can cause real harm. That’s why Pinker argues that society would be better off if more people learned to be more rational. 0:00 The bad news: reality 0:39 The good news: rationality 1:26 How rational are we? 3:04 Even Americans, though?

In the last few decades, the concept of “burnout” has become ubiquitous in modern discourse around work and academia. However, there is a common misunderstanding about what burnout actually is. To many people, burnout is synonymous with being overworked and stressed. But cognitive scientist and Yale professor Laurie Santos wants you to know that that’s not the case. Rather, burnout is a clinical syndrome with specific symptoms of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization or cynicism, and a sense of personal ineffectiveness. It can be caused by a heavy workload, but it is often due to a mismatch in values, unfairness, or a lack of intrinsic reward. Properly understanding burnout — and knowing how to identify it — is crucial for employing practical steps to proactively avoid the syndrome. To do so, Santos suggests four simple, actionable steps that can help you not only spot burnout, but stop it in its tracks. 0:00 3 symptoms of clinical burnout 1:51 3 causes of burnout 3:39 Questions for assessing your burnout 4:59 How to treat burnout ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Laurie Santos: Dr. Laurie Santos is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Yale University.

How to defeat debaters who deal in distractions, according to two-time world debate champion Bo Seo. Bo Seo, a two-time world debate champion, watched the 2016 presidential debates between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and was disappointed by the unedifying spectacle that the debates had become. Seo saw the potential for the format of debate to be exploited and degraded, and he believes that the capacity to disagree well or poorly is within all of us. Seo identified four common types of bad arguers: the dodger, who changes the topic; the twister, who misrepresents the point being made; the wrangler, who is never satisfied and never offers an alternative; and the liar, who makes false or misleading statements. To Seo, these negative impulses must be managed in order to guide arguments towards being more productive and positive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Bo Seo: Bo Seo is a two-time world champion debater and a former coach of the Australian national debating team and the Harvard College Debating Union.

Modern males are struggling. Author Richard Reeves outlines the three major issues boys and men face and shares possible solutions. Boys and men are falling behind. This might seem surprising to some people, and maybe ridiculous to others, considering that discussions on gender disparities tend to focus on the structural challenges faced by girls and women, not boys and men. But long-term data reveal a clear and alarming trend: In recent decades, American men have been faring increasingly worse in many areas of life, including education, workforce participation, skill acquisition, wages, and fatherhood. Gender politics is often framed as a zero-sum game: Any effort to help men takes away from women. But in his 2022 book Of Boys and Men, journalist and Brookings Institution scholar Richard V. Reeves argues that the structural problems contributing to male malaise affect everybody, and that shying away from these tough conversations is not a productive path forward. 0:00 1:35 Men in education 7:26 *Class matters 7:53 Men in the workforce 10:54 Men in the family 13:00 Deaths of despair ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Richard Reeves: Richard V.

Natalie Nixon, a creativity strategist, emphasizes the importance of asking the right questions in order to foster innovation and creativity. She believes that inquiry and curiosity are crucial for driving innovation, as they can bridge information gaps and encourage expansive thinking.  Nixon introduces the "Taxonomy of Questions," which includes divergent questions ("Why?", "What if...?", "I wonder...?") that promote big picture thinking, and convergent questions ("What?", "Where?", "When?") that provide tactical guidance. To thrive in an ambiguous world, we need to balance both types of questions, embracing creativity as a uniquely human trait that sets us apart from technology and automation.  Nixon suggests becoming "clumsy students" of something new in order to build confidence in asking questions and seeking help. By practicing this discipline of inquiry, we can develop our ability to think differently and drive innovation. 0:00 Asking better questions 1:11 Inquire and be curious 1:47 Two types of questions: Divergent & convergent 2:30 Creative questions = surviving automation 3:39 How to practice better questions ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Natalie Nixon: Dr. Natalie Nixon is the Creativity Whisperer to the C-Suite, helping leaders achieve transformative business results by applying wonder, rigor, and foresight.

Plato famously described the human psyche as two horses and a charioteer: One horse represented instincts, the other represented emotions, and the charioteer was the rational mind that controlled them. Astronomer Carl Sagan continued this idea of a three-layer, “triune brain” in his 1977 book The Dragons of Eden. But leading neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett challenges this idea of the brain evolving in three layers, instead revealing a common brain plan shared by all mammals and vertebrates. The development of sensory systems led to the emergence of the brain, and hunting and predation may have initiated an arms race to become more efficient and powerful predators. Despite advances in neuroscience and genetics, the question of why the brain evolved remains elusive.
