I've attended several Mindfulness trainings at Omega Institute, and plan to take a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course this year. Participants create Facebook groups and email chains to stay in touch and share resources. I also meditate and help my classes to meditate with apps like Headspace and guided meditations on YouTube.

Some of my favorites are TED Radio Hour (on NPR) and Radio Lab. I recently enjoyed an interview with Malcom Gladwell from the Tim Ferris show. Here's a link to a fascinating interview with Frans de Waal about Animal Intelligence.

We humans have long thought of ourselves as superior to animals. We design tools. We have a sense of self. We understand past and future. It turns out, so do other species. A crow in England bent a straight wire to create a hook to extract food from a tube. A study of Asian elephants showed they can recognize themselves in a mirror. And chimps at a Dutch zoo correctly inferred from an empty box that a grapefruit treat was in their future. A new book by the prominent primatologist Frans de Waal challenges our notions of animal intelligence. Join guest host Susan Page for a discussion on how animals are much smarter than we think.

Six high school kids (some popular, some not), two eighth graders (one a tech genius), and six little kids trapped together in a chain superstore build a refuge for themselves inside. While outside, a series of escalating disasters, beginning with a monster hailstorm and ending with a chemical weapons spill, seems to be tearing the world--as they know it--apart.
