Cynicism is Exhausting. There’s an Alternative. | A Slight Change of Plans | Maya Shankar
Psychologist Jamil Zaki studies the science of human connection and he believes cynicism is holding us back. Cynicism isn't just harmful for our health, he says, it’s also misguided. He talks to Maya about a powerful, alternative mindset that can help: what he calls “hopeful skepticism.”
For more on hopeful skepticism, check out Jamil Zaki’s book “Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness.”

    • @buczumajster3671
      @buczumajster3671 Год назад

      Hey man from what ive read my understnding is an absolute Yes the reasons being : Trauma makes you withdrawn and it takes a part of you with it especialy when you are a child. At young age the trauma instead of being processed and understood it grows into you, it gets internalized.And Perhaps you May feel that No one will truly get you. Again im No expert and i don't really know the exact situation .The only thing i know for sure is that the rates of loneliness are higher among people with traumas and /or depression

    Hi Maya, I just stumbled across your work after hearing you on the Huberman Lab podcast and I’ve done a deep dive of your podcast over the last few days. Wow wow wow. Just as Kate said, you’re so smart and it’s clear that you’ve put so much thought and effort into this podcast to bring listeners actionable value and education in a very easy to digest medium. Thank you for making this podcast and I can’t wait for you to hopefully one day write a book of all your learnings from these incredible people.

    It doesn't serve to indulge in an network and try to reciprocate courtesy with vanity if the goal is to make scientifically/lifely interesting content. People that search for the scientific type of content don't, in the context, care about politics. That's politics. That's not interesting. That's why it makes no views. Normal you took the opportunity but I'm not sure it's useful for anyone : except Hillary that could think it might help her demagogic views as a professional politic (spoiler : it hasn't).

    I had so much respect for Jason before this. Now, the man is legend in my estimation. So well spoken and thoughtful responses, not just showing up and humoring Maya. We can now really understand his lyrics and their purposes. Great, insightful, hard questions that we all wanted to hear, and he answered honestly, respectfully, and with his usual brilliance. This artist literally puts his heart and soul into every album, no vapid filler songs like EVERY other musician. And, yes he is the artist the rest are musicians

Such a perceptive encapsulation of the situation the rescue divers were dealing with. What an impressive interviewer. And an even more impressive Doctor. We're so ready to judge clinicians if things go wrong, but we aren't the ones who have to step up to the plate and make a choice under such fraught circumstances. What a great conversation.

    I'm obsessed with the story of the Thai Cave Rescue and read or watch everything I find about it; that's no doubt why this popped up on my feed. I have to say I was very impressed by this interview. Dr. Shankar was obviously well prepared and asked perceptive and intelligent questions. Dr. Harris has told his stories many times and I've heard some of them word-for-word several times before, but Dr Shankar managed to elicit deeper and more enlightening responses from him, by knowing what she was talking about and encouraging him to go a little deeper into his feelings and his perceptions of the extraordinary events he was involved in. That made this podcast more valuable and interesting than I expected. Very well done--thank you.
