How To Perform Under Pressure—With Both Peace and Confidence | Jim Murphy

An acclaimed science writer on how to upgrade your mind by using more than your head.
 
Annie Murphy Paul is a science writer and TED speaker. Her latest book is The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain.

 
In this episode we talk about:
 
 • Why upgrading your mind involves more than just using your head.
 • How our bodies, surroundings, and relationships all have the power to enhance our thinking.
 • Practical strategies for “thinking with the body,” including interoception, the role of intuition, movement breaks, and even fidgeting.
 • The importance of gesture and movement—why sitting perfectly still actually makes thinking harder for many of us.
 • Tips for “thinking with your surroundings”—from stepping outdoors to using evocative objects and whiteboards to organize your ideas.
 • The social side of thinking: how to learn from experts, think with peers, and harness the intelligence of groups.
 • The challenges—and potential—of group collaboration, avoiding the pitfalls of groupthink, and fostering what psychologists call “groupiness.”
 • The concept of “extension inequality”: why access to the resources that enhance thinking—like nature, movement, and mentorship—is not distributed equally, and why that matters.
 • And finally, why returning to the way kids learn—using hands, bodies, play, and connection—might actually be good for all of us.

How To Figure Out What You Actually Need Right Now | Meditation with Sebene Selassie

Every year, Joseph Goldstein does a three month silent meditation retreat by himself at his home in Massachusetts. In this conversation you're about to hear, Joseph had just emerged from one such retreat with a bunch of thoughts on what are called the three proliferating tendencies or three papañca to use the ancient Pali term. 
 
These are three ways in which we perpetuate an unhealthy sense of self. Joseph has explained that you can think about the process of going deeper in meditation as a process of lightening up or getting less self-centered. You're about to get a masterclass in doing just that. 
 
For the uninitiated, Joseph is one of the co-founders of the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts. His co-founders are two other meditation titans, Sharon Salzberg and Jack Kornfield. Joseph has been a teacher at IMS since it was founded in the seventies and he continues to be the resident guiding teacher there. 
 
In this episode we talk about:
 
 • 

The framework for understanding the three proliferating tendencies; the basic building blocks of our experience in the world
 • 
 • 

Six things that make up what the Buddha called “the all” 
 • 
 • 

What non-self means and why it's essential to the Buddhist teaching of liberation
 • 
 • 

The two levels of truth: conventional and ultimate
 • 
 • 

Why language is so important in conditioning how we experience things 
 • 
 • 

How the three proliferating tendencies provide a very practical guide to understanding how we manufacture our own suffering
 •
