1
00:00:14,956 --> 00:00:26,116
Speaker 1: Pushkin. Hey, it's Maya. We're back next Monday, June fifth,

2
00:00:26,156 --> 00:00:29,036
Speaker 1: with a brand new season of a slight Change of Plans.

3
00:00:30,156 --> 00:00:33,476
Speaker 1: As always, we'll hear personal stories of change from people

4
00:00:33,556 --> 00:00:34,956
Speaker 1: who face the unexpected.

5
00:00:36,156 --> 00:00:40,836
Speaker 2: I was really angry, I said heart cancer. Nobody gets

6
00:00:40,876 --> 00:00:41,556
Speaker 2: heart cancer?

7
00:00:41,716 --> 00:00:42,036
Speaker 3: Kidding?

8
00:00:42,076 --> 00:00:45,476
Speaker 1: Is that even a thing? We'll also hear from experts

9
00:00:45,516 --> 00:00:48,316
Speaker 1: who teach us how we can live happier, healthier lives,

10
00:00:48,916 --> 00:00:52,956
Speaker 1: like world debate champion Boso, who helps me rediscover the

11
00:00:52,996 --> 00:00:54,676
Speaker 1: power of a good disagreement.

12
00:00:55,356 --> 00:00:59,476
Speaker 3: I experience disagreement as a kind of closeness, and that

13
00:00:59,636 --> 00:01:03,236
Speaker 3: means sometimes being in touch with yourself, being in touch

14
00:01:03,316 --> 00:01:07,156
Speaker 3: with others, with the world around you at such proximity

15
00:01:07,476 --> 00:01:08,556
Speaker 3: that it could.

16
00:01:08,356 --> 00:01:13,996
Speaker 1: Hurt Psychologist Kristin Nephini. Thus some myths about self compassion,

17
00:01:14,596 --> 00:01:17,636
Speaker 1: like the idea that self criticism is more motivating.

18
00:01:18,196 --> 00:01:21,636
Speaker 4: Our sense of self kind of gets absorbed by the shame.

19
00:01:21,676 --> 00:01:25,476
Speaker 4: It's like we disappear self. Compassion is actually what motivates

20
00:01:25,516 --> 00:01:27,276
Speaker 4: you to try to correct the behavior.

21
00:01:28,236 --> 00:01:31,356
Speaker 5: And then we'll hear from a pioneer in meditation research,

22
00:01:31,676 --> 00:01:35,836
Speaker 5: doctor Richie Davidson, who explains how the practice can change

23
00:01:35,876 --> 00:01:39,476
Speaker 5: our brains and why It doesn't require a special cushion

24
00:01:39,676 --> 00:01:40,716
Speaker 5: or dedicated time.

25
00:01:41,356 --> 00:01:44,996
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. You don't need to take any time

26
00:01:45,076 --> 00:01:47,636
Speaker 2: out of your day. You can do this while you're

27
00:01:47,636 --> 00:01:51,556
Speaker 2: engaged in other activities of daily living, like taking out

28
00:01:51,596 --> 00:01:56,556
Speaker 2: the garbage or doing your dishes, or commuting or whatever.

29
00:01:56,596 --> 00:01:57,036
Speaker 3: It is.

30
00:01:57,236 --> 00:02:00,036
Speaker 1: Okay, that is the most compelling pitch I've ever heard,

31
00:02:00,476 --> 00:02:04,676
Speaker 1: so thank you, and this is a fun one. You'll

32
00:02:04,716 --> 00:02:07,276
Speaker 1: also hear a story from someone who makes his living

33
00:02:07,436 --> 00:02:11,396
Speaker 1: as a professional pizza enthusiast. He tells me how he

34
00:02:11,476 --> 00:02:12,156
Speaker 1: got his start.

35
00:02:12,756 --> 00:02:15,596
Speaker 6: When you're going to pitch a business to somebody, you

36
00:02:15,756 --> 00:02:18,716
Speaker 6: clean up and dress nice. I was not in that mode.

37
00:02:18,876 --> 00:02:21,676
Speaker 6: I was living on a boat. I probably hadn't showered.

38
00:02:22,036 --> 00:02:24,076
Speaker 6: I'm sure I was wearing a sweater with holes in it.

39
00:02:24,476 --> 00:02:26,156
Speaker 6: I never would have said yes to myself.

40
00:02:30,556 --> 00:02:33,796
Speaker 1: I can't wait to share these conversations with you. In

41
00:02:33,836 --> 00:02:36,956
Speaker 1: the meantime, you can follow me on Instagram at doctor

42
00:02:37,076 --> 00:02:39,916
