111 : Dacher Keltner - The Science of Happiness
Survival of the Kindest
It can be quite hard to understand that emotions play a fundamental role in our evolutionary biology. This is mainly because emotional science historically focused on the negative aspects of emotions such as anger and fear. Dacher Keltner paid a second visit to the podcast with the publication of his excellent new book Awe. We have difficult emotions which cause us all kinds of problems, but they can also be seen in a prosocial, evolutionary light. Fear and anger can help to save us in a life threatening situation. Love, friendship and wonderment, or as Dacher calls it, awe, help to bind us...

Survival of the Kindest
Training in science is built on theory and evidence. The hope is that scientific theory turns into reproduceable results. In the case of medicine, finding evidence is the search for the holy grail.

Our guests today found a different way of helping people with life limiting illness through finding ways of communicating outside of the clinical setting. Dr Sammy Winemaker, Associate Clinical Professor in Family Medicine at McMaster University, Canada. She is a...

108. Carey Sipp
Survival of the Kindest
Carey Sipp To be fully present, to make best use of the incredible potential we all possess, to make the most of what it is to be human, we need a deep sense of belonging and connection. This is something that arises out of our family, our friends and our community. Too often, the development of these deep trusting relationships is marred by traumatic experiences of childhood. But these experiences do not define the people who have them. None of us want to be judged by anything other than the best parts of ourselves. People with adverse childhood experiences are not defined by them. Carey Sipp...

107: Neil Mantell: Teaching Compassion
Survival of the Kindest
Neil Mantell is a very old friend, not just that he is ancient like me, but we have known each other for nearly 40 years. We met on bleary eyed walks in the early morning around the hills of the village where we lived, having both been woken up by young babies far to early, taking the opportunity to give our respective partners a break at the same time as walking the dogs. Neil was a school teacher, and an extraordinary one at that. I know he was a great teacher because my 3 children all passed through his classroom. Inspired by the remarkable educator Ken Robinson, his path to being a...

Survival of the Kindest
Charlie Herzog Young is a climate activist and author of Spinning Out, his new book, which explores his journey navigating climate change and mental health issues which affected him from his early years onward. Charlie makes the explicit what many of us experience, that of nihilistic feelings about the inevitable progression of climate breakdown. And not just this. The nihilism is worsened by those in power who place self interest above the welfare of everyone else, including plants and animals. This sense of depression about the world ended up precipitating a mental health crisis,...
info_outline"The LGBTQ+ community is not just my friends and what some people refer to as a chosen family, but it's also a connection to history and what got us to where we are now."
Stewart O'Callaghan (they/them) is the Founder and Chief Executive of Live Through This, the UK's only LGBTIQ+ cancer charity and one which is firmly patient-led.
When, aged 29, Stewart was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia, they moved back to England from Germany in the hope of being better supported there. Unfortunately, as a queer person, they instead encountered biases and barriers within cancer care.
Julian talks to Stewart about their treatment journey and how that led them to set up a charity to improve the representation, information and support available to LGBTIQ+ people affected by cancer.
