Ep519 - Arjuna Ardagh | Technology Brings Forth Genius
Jan 24, 202500:52:21Tap to summarizeWe’ve all – hopefully – experienced what it’s like to fall into a sense of flow. It’s when everything happens easily. You have a natural sense of meaning and purpose without having to think or worry about it very much at all. But for some of us, that’s harder to come by. That’s where Arjuna Ardagh comes in. Arjuna is the founder of Awakening Coaching, where he’s coached leaders for over 35 years across the technology field, the movie industry, writers, and innovators in public policy. Arjuna maps out technology for shifting and managing consciousness. He shares how to access new dimensions of yourself to optimize creativity, dissolve roadblocks, and how to turn self actualization into tangible results in your work and the rest of your life.

Jan 21, 202501:01:04Tap to summarizeRavi Bapna and Anindya Ghose visit Google to discuss their book “Thrive: Maximizing Well-Being in the Age of AI” - the book explores how AI can positively impact many aspects of our daily lives, from health and wellness to work, education, and home life. Artificial intelligence is a powerful general-purpose technology that is reshaping the modern economy, but misperceptions about AI stand in the way of harnessing it for the betterment of humanity. In their book Thrive, Ravi Bapna and Anindya Ghose counter the backlash by showcasing how AI is positively influencing the aspects of our daily lives that we care about most: our health and wellness, relationships, education, the workplace, and domestic life. The authors explain the underlying technology and give people the agency they need to shape the debate around how we should regulate AI to maximize its benefits and minimize its risks. Bringing over two decades of experience with cutting-edge research, consulting, executive coaching, and advising to bear on the subject, Bapna and Ghose demystify the technology of AI itself. They offer a novel “House of AI” framework that encompasses traditional analytics, generative AI, and fair and ethical deployment of AI. Using examples from everyday life, they showcase how the modern AI-powered ecosystem fundamentally improves the emotional, physical, and material well-being of regular people across the globe.

Transcribe →Ep516 - Peter Attia | Outlive: The Science & Art of Longevity
Jan 14, 202501:02:45Tap to summarizeDr. Peter Attia visits Google to discuss his book "Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity.” The book is a guide to living better and longer, and reveals a new approach to preventing chronic disease and extending long-term health. For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of aging that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments that are too late to help, prolonging lifespan at the expense of healthspan, or quality of life. Dr. Attia believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than waiting. This is not “biohacking,” it’s science: a well-founded strategic and tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia’s aim is less to tell you what to do and more to help you learn how to think about long-term health, in order to create the best plan for you as an individual. Aging and longevity are far more malleable than we think; our fate is not set in stone. With the right roadmap, you can plot a different path for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade better than the one before.
