10% Happier with Dan Harris Folgen

Today we're going to get a deep take on the old cliche, "You are what you eat." Usually that expression speaks to the impact of food on our bodies, but what is often overlooked is the impact nutrition has on our minds. Dr. Mark Hyman is the author of a book called Food Fix. He studied Buddhism in college and then went on to become a practicing family physician and a leader in the field of Functional Medicine. He's written thirteen New York Times Bestselling books, including his new one, and is also the host of a podcast called The Doctor's Farmacy. In this episode, we talk about the impact of food on our mental health, and Dr. Hyman's view that food is a social justice issue that impacts everything from chronic diseases to climate.

In my opinion, purveyors of joy can come off as oily and unctuous, even in the best of times. Like walking impersonations of Rainbow Brite. But in hard times, arguing for joy can seem pollyanna-ish or downright clueless. Our guest today reframes joy as supremely relevant and eminently doable. His name is James Baraz. He is the co-founder of Spirit Rock Meditation Center in California, and author of the book Awakening Joy. We talk about: why joy gets a bad rap; why it's not a feel-good project, but instead a "feel-everything" project; and the role of meditation in taking on pressing issues such as climate and race. Also, stay tuned for a cameo from our producer, Marissa, who weighs in with a personal question.

"Narcissist" is a word that gets thrown quite a bit, including by me -- often, semi-facetiously, about myself. But until this conversation, I didn't actually know what the word meant. My guest today is Keith Campbell, who's been researching narcissism for more than 30 years. He's got a new book called The New Science of Narcissism. In this episode, we talk about the difference between garden variety narcissism and the diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, the difference between grandiose narcissism and vulnerable narcissism, what to do with if you're married to a narcissist, how to identify your own narcissism, and what he calls the CPR method for narcissism control.
