Mike Carruthers: 保持对世界的惊奇感是非常有益的,无论在心理上还是生理上。惊奇感与更好的健康之间似乎存在直接的生物学途径。我认为培养惊奇感可以促进神经可塑性,激发亲社会情感,如同情和同理心。我们应该像孩子一样看待生活,不断增加新的体验,构建看待世界的镜头。 Monica Parker: 惊奇是一种情感体验,始于开放,进入好奇,然后是沉浸和敬畏,并且是一个循环。随着年龄的增长,我们认为自己已经掌握了所有需要的信息,不再有那么多值得惊奇的事物。我们可以选择在日常生活中发现惊奇,这是一种心态。如果我们预先设定自己去寻找惊奇,大脑会投入更多的认知资源来寻找它。体验到广阔感,感觉自己是更大系统中的一小部分,这会让我们开始体验惊奇。分享惊奇的体验可以延长和加深其影响。只需要找到少量的奇妙感就能获得健康益处。随着时间的推移,我们所拥有的那些累积的、小小的奇妙时刻,会对我们产生我们没有意识到的影响。

What is money and how does it work? It may seem like a simple question yet, there is a lot of misunderstanding about it. One example is that some people worry about the federal government running out of money. What if the government can’t pay its bills? Well, that can’t happen according to L. Randall Wray, a professor of Economics at Bard College, Senior Scholar at the Levy Economics Institute and author of Money for Beginners: An Illustrated Guide (https://amzn.to/42BuPPG).) Listen as he discusses how money works, how it has changed and what the future of money is.
