Many people are adopting a bespoke spirituality - like combining a ritual from Hinduism with a Buddhist meditation, and adding in a trip to an Amazonian psychedelic retreat. But what's lost when spirituality goes DYI? This week, I talk with Liz Bucar. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Loneliness is on the rise. That's not news. But maybe part of the reason is: we're no longer sure what it means to be a good friend or lack tools to make it happen. I talk with Sam...

Is withdrawing from the world into a life of contemplation or being in the world trying to heal it the best route to growing spiritually? Turns out, as @sigalsamuel.bsky.social notes, they're not mutually exclusive. The two paths can reinforce each other. More here podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
Doubt isn't the death of faith -- it often provides a route to renewal and new revelation. Here's friend of the show Rabbi Angela Buchdahl talking about how that idea is baked into the fabric of Judaism itself. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
While it's true that the idea of hell can cause stress and fear, @shadihamid.bsky.social argues that, somewhat paradoxically, it can also offer an opportunity to chill -- a relief of responsibility to ensure complete justice now while maintaining solace that it will be meted out. 🧵
When things are difficult, gratitude can feel out of reach. That's when it's important to remember that gratitude isn't an act of complacency. It can be an act of resistance - a way to know you matter, a way to find strength and resilience. www.wbur.org/onpoint/2025...
When it comes to making better decisions, science backs up what St. Ignatius figured out centuries ago: distancing yourself by taking a 3rd person or other perspective helps. This week, I talk with @bostoncollege.bsky.social Father Bart Geger about seeking wisdom www.howgodworks.org/podcast/seas...
It's fall, and that means How God Works is back with a new season! We'll explore the wisdom the world's faith traditions offer to improve our friendships, our decision-making, and lots more about our lives. Plus, why shamans are everywhere & how Tibetan monks control their dreams.
Young women are leaving the church in record numbers, even as many young men are looking to it for meaning. What direction this goes next depends on how the debate about the roles of men & women plays out: dominance or complements? My chat with Richard Reeves & @drmoore.bsky.social 1/2
There's a lot going on out there right now! It's time for...a breather. But how you take that breath really matters! Spiritual traditions developed ways to heal minds & bodies with breath, long before breathwork became a life-hack. We discuss how & give some tools: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
Religions always influenced diet. But Christian influencers like Alex Clark are taking modern diet & wellness ideas and dressing them up in theological claims, with a big one being: God doesn't want you to be fat. I talk with @jessgrose.bsky.social about it on HGW podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
Fifteen years ago (a long time for tech), my lab showed not only that people were willing to engage in conversation with social tech, but that we could manipulate their moral beliefs around trust by having the robot send different nonverbal signals. Imagine what today's tech can do.

It’s unfortunate that men have forgotten their responsibilities as men. They should be guardians, protectors, thoughtful, insightful and decisive. I look at me especially those on the right and am disappointed by what I see. Tony

U.S. strikes on Iranian-linked targets continued. Coverage of whether those strikes broke a ceasefire or enforced one split almost perfectly along partisan lines, and the split was not incidental. It went to the factual core of the story.
VIA reichwingwatch This is capitalism in its rawest form... Not “how many lives will be lost?” but “will this move the needle on my portfolio?” This is the system working exactly as designed. Human lives are the expendable. Wall Street profits is the constant.

I am running for Congress because I see the links between the violence that Palestinians face under Israeli apartheid and the violence Black communities face from American law enforcement. Our federal officials have achoice: invest in human suffering or invest in human dignity.
