<![CDATA[ Individuals who embrace positivity are more likely to approach challenges with resilience and adaptability, thus enhancing their ability to overcome adversity and thrive. Research shows that a positive attitude serves as a powerful catalyst for not only extending lifespan but also enhancing quality of life, and in certain cases is a better predictor of longevity than genetics, or life choices. To explore the timeless wisdom behind longevity, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with history buff and the Founder of LongeviQuest, <a href="https://longeviquest.com/">Ben Meyers</a>. A demand for longevity and healthspan data led Ben to create a business to certify and learn from the world’s oldest people. Ben shares his findings about the most common attributes of supercentenarians, what supercentenarians say is the key to a long life, and the future role of AI in caring for us as we age.

Out of Sorts and on the Edge with Dr. Meg Arroll

<![CDATA[ What some people consider small stressors can trigger and overwhelm those whose biological and psychological makeup is foundationally built upon intergenerational traumas. Those with intergenerational traumas can be predisposed to heightened emotions that may not be widely understood by their societal circles. If you have witnessed someone’s reaction to a circumstance that didn’t appear to warrant it, it could be based on the person’s unique heritage and ancestry without them being aware of the factors at play. To discover ways to break the cycle of intergenerational trauma and begin the healing process, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with Columbia University-trained Psychologist and intergenerational trauma expert, <a href="https://www.drmarielbuque.com/">Dr. Mariel Buqué.</a> Like what you're hearing?

<![CDATA[ Understanding and navigating interpersonal dynamics is crucial for maintaining healthy relationships. As an example, in a family where one or both parents are narcissists, it can be difficult for children to achieve a sense of self.

In the last 20 years, humans have developed a set of mental challenges for themselves unlike any other in human history.

As the 2024 election cycle begins, the amount of memes for and against political candidates in social media feeds will increase exponentially.

This episode is part of a series exploring disinformation, media literacy, and the emerging science of cognitive immunology. Mind viruses spread in the same manner as viruses in the body. Something is passed from one person to another. The person's belief system or mental immune system processes the content of the information and either overcomes it and discards it or the virus takes over and causes an illness. To discover tips for mental vaccinations and truth recipes, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with an associate professor of English at the University of Central Florida and the author of Deadly Delusions: Right-Wing Death Cult and The Cognitive Immune System: The Mind's Ability to Dispel Pathological Beliefs, <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Barry-Mauer">Dr. Barry Mauer</a>.

Streetwise: A Rationally Philosophical Road to Reason and Accountability with Anthony Magnabosco

<![CDATA[ Harvesting Happiness is proud to partner with the researchers and scholars at the Mental Immunity Project (MIP) and Cognitive Immunology Research Collaborative (CIRCE). This episode is part of a series exploring disinformation, media literacy, and the emerging science of cognitive immunology. Fear and doubt serve as powerful tools in the political landscape, allowing politicians to manipulate public perception and sow confusion. By labeling legitimate investigations or criticisms as "witch hunts," these leaders attempt to delegitimize the concerns raised against them. This tactic not only deflects attention from the actual issues at hand but also erodes trust in the democratic process. To discover how we can inoculate ourselves against cultural viruses, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with a lecturer of cultural history at the Department of History and Art History at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, <a href=https://www.uu.nl/staff/STHofhuis/">Steije Hofhuis PhD</a>. Steije shares historical information about how witch hunts spread and how ideas about witchcraft adapted in new ways that stimulated more witch prosecutions. His research shows that cultural viruses, or mindbugs, adapted and evolved in a Darwinian manner throughout certain geographical areas and time periods. </a>Like what you’re hearing?

This episode is part of a series exploring disinformation, media literacy, and the emerging science of cognitive immunology. The primary goal of most media sources is to make money by pushing an agenda.

This episode is part of a series exploring disinformation, media literacy, and the emerging science of cognitive immunology. The media has already begun priming the pump for the 2024 election cycle in the US.
