  • In today’s episode, John R. Miles explores the concept of choice bracketing, a powerful framework that shows how the seemingly small decisions we make every day can compound over time to significantly impact our future. Drawing on the real-life examples of Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffett, we discuss how big-picture thinking helps avoid reactive, short-term choices in favor of intentional actions that align with long-term goals.

    The episode breaks down the science of decision-making, focusing on how balancing short-term comfort with long-term success requires shifting from narrow, isolated choices to a broader, portfolio of choices approach. You’ll learn how Bezos applied the regret minimization framework to launch Amazon and how Buffett’s investment philosophy is rooted in viewing life through a long-term lens.

  • In episode 502 of Passion Struck, we tackle a subject that's hitting hard in our world right now: cynicism. Cynicism creeps into our thoughts, erodes our connections, and chips away at our belief in one another. To help us untangle this, we have an extraordinary guest, Dr. Jamil Zaki, a professor of psychology at Stanford University and an expert in empathy and kindness. His new book, Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness, reveals how we can overcome cynicism through hopeful skepticism.

    Dr. Zaki shares powerful insights from over two decades of research on how to escape the cynicism trap and boost your mental well-being. We discuss the myth of the cynical genius, how to combat polarization, and foster a more unified world. Dr. Zaki also delves into his personal journey, including how his parents' difficult divorce influenced his study of empathy and understanding others.

  • In this captivating episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles engages with Dr. David S. Yeager, a leading professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, to uncover the science behind inspiring and motivating young minds. Dr. Yeager, who has worked with renowned experts such as Carol Dweck and Angela Duckworth, offers transformative insights into how adults can help young people thrive during their most critical developmental years.

    Through his groundbreaking research, Dr. Yeager explores in his new book the unique developmental stage from ages 10 to 25, when the brain is especially sensitive to social status and respect. He introduces the concept of the "mentor mindset," showing how adults can effectively guide young people by understanding their social and emotional needs. Dr. Yeager's insights go beyond theory—his practical advice empowers parents, educators, and mentors to create environments where young people can flourish.
