My Good Three Thanksgiving Special 2024 - Best of Friday

Thanksgiving Week Compilation Episode - Best Of FridaysEpisode F3: We Can Lift A WhaleSaving the Blue Whale is something I haven’t thought much about. It wasn’t until I learned about how close the largest animal to ever roam the earth (larger than dinosaurs) came to extinction recently, because of humans, that I stopped to pay attention. The real magic in this story, is how humans brought the Blue Whale species back - and what that means about our power and our future, as a human species, when we work together.Episode F4: Cynicism Is Not TrustworthyDo you feel like you’re cynical, and there’s nothing you can do to change it? If so, there’s good news. Changing is much easier and faster than you think, and the benefits of being less cynical are worth fighting for. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be an idealist, just make some small changes and prepare to see your future in a brighter light.In this episode I reference findings from Dr. Jamil Zaki, Director of the Social Neuroscience Lab at Stanford University, which he shares in his new book, Hope For Cynics.Episode F5: The Four-Day Workweek Is ComingHello, Fridays.

With our office suddenly fitting in our pockets thanks to technology, work began coming along with us wherever we went - and it’s only gotten worse. But there is hope on the horizon for anyone who feels like they can’t get away from the job. Thanks to Four-Day Week Global, and the Four-Day Week Campaign, we are closer than ever before to the tipping point in the quest to have employers across the globe adjust the work schedule to a four-day workweek.
