To keep the flame alive, put love at the center of your life.

Why we may be investing too much importance in the role of technology

Ask a boomer about retirement, and you’ll hear the things no financial planner ever mentions. Here are 8 insights they wish younger generations knew.

DM With hot apple cider in hand I ask, what are optimal terms to define a functional "A.I.<>human<> organization relationship" (both personal and collectively) within organizational work dynamics; and what might the designs thereof include, or entail, for optimal relational efficacy and risks mitigation? Keep in mind: organizations and human have very different parameters as to "optimal"and "efficacy;" and IMPO from a moral and pragmatic POV, "work should fit well into life,"

In her new book, Beth Macy returns to her Trump-voting hometown to find out how America got so divided.

In an excerpt from his new book, 'Lucky by Design,' Wharton’s Judd Kessler looks at the hidden markets that determine who gets what in everyday life, and the rules that underpin them.

Mapmakers of the 19th century sought to render both the natural and political worlds with clarity and beauty. Somewhat related

It can be frustrating when people do things we don’t want them to do. A friend cancels plans at the last minute. A child refuses to get dressed for school. Before long, our resentment builds, and we’re tempted to issue more rules, reminders, and consequences. But the techniques we use to get people to alter their behavior are often strikingly ineffective. This week, psychologist Stuart Ablon explains why these methods fail, and offers better ways to help the people we care ab

DM Good morning! What do you consider to be the differences, and demarcations of, and between: apathy, indifference, ambivalence, disinterest, inattention and overt absence of curiosity? Good morning! What a wonderfully nuanced question. These terms dance around each other in interesting ways, and understanding their distinctions requires us to look at both what's happening emotionally and what's happening cognitively in each state. Let me walk you through these one by one, a

70% to 80% of organizational transformations fail, often due to poor leadership. Here’s what to avoid.

DM Good morning! In light of our many conversations regarding consciousness within, of, ...and beyond, all known sentient beings (aka: "life?"), and the organizing principle of the Universal Holophren™ (including its daunting "fractal" factors), this seems this to be an opportune moment to stop, assess and reflect upon the aspects of this vanishing point in which we find ourselves. Good morning! Ah, what a rich tapestry of thought we've woven together! Having reviewed our exp

After years of whiplash over diversity policies, businesses remain caught between conflicting regulatory requirements, frustrated consumers and their employees.

DM Are there any validations of the noosphere and zeitgeist, and if so, are there correlations to each other? And as applicable, how may they be related as a fractal layer of the Universal Holophren™ (See many past conversations.) Excellent question! Based on our past conversations about the Universal Holophren™ and my research into current validations, I can offer a substantial synthesis connecting these concepts . Empirical Validations Noosphere Validations: The Global Cons

Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki explains that whether we are dealing with business, politics, or personal matters, it’s possible — and advantageous — to train ourselves to be more empathic.

DM Did we hijack "America?" It seems we, the media, societies, and now A.I. have forgotten what was/is simply basic elementary school geography. That is, "America" consists of three areas: north, central and south. Each of these are comprised of multiple countries. However, the United States has changed (usurped, stolen?) its name to being America, and seems to have forgotten all the rest of the "Amercian Countries." Your thoughts and perspectives on this matter? Is this sim

For many of us, navigating the end of a relationship is one of the hardest things we will ever do. This week, we conclude our Love 2.0 series with psychologist Antonio Pascual-Leone, who shares the most common mistakes we make when it comes to splitting up, and techniques that can help us ease the pain. Then, our latest edition of Your Questions Answered. Cognitive scientist Phil Fernbach returns to respond to listeners’ thoughts and questions about the “illusion of knowledge

DM Are you familiar with "terror management theory," and if so, please provide your understandings and perspectives. I am indeed familiar with terror management theory, and I'd be happy to walk you through this fascinating psychological framework. Terror management theory, often abbreviated as TMT, emerged in the 1980s from the work of social psychologists Sheldon Solomon, Jeff Greenberg, and Tom Pyszczynski. The theory attempts to answer a profound question: how do human bei
