  • From Lifespan to Joyspan: Embracing a Growth Mindset for Aging

    From Lifespan to Joyspan: Embracing a Growth Mindset for Aging
    Aug 6 2026
    Ep. 239 | Renowned gerontologist and author Dr. Kerry Burnight is passionate about changing the way we think about aging. Growing older isn’t a bad thing, she emphasizes, let’s look at what gets better as we get older! Early in Dr. Kerry’s career, she marveled at how elderly people with the same degree of physical health could be absolutely miserable or happily engaged with life, and she dug into finding out why. Her research revealed four pillars of aging that together make all the difference in the quality of our well-being. Kerry urges us to adopt these practices as soon as we can, because just like with cardiovascular training, the earlier we start, the more benefit we accrue. In fact, the evidence is clear: research shows that people who have a “decline mindset” about aging die an average of seven years earlier than their counterparts with a “growth mindset.” It seems our beliefs about aging can easily become self-fulfilling prophecies.Finding joy in the second half of life involves not only cultivating connection and growth among other things, but also, very importantly, countering our own internalized ageism. Dr. Kerry gives some telling examples of common derogatory thoughts we have about ourselves as we age, and shows us how we can turn this around and step into our power as older people. In a moving testament to the special beauty and authenticity of the elderly, Kerry expresses gratitude for her opportunities as a gerontologist to be infused with the presence of her patients, in all their humility and greater appreciation of friendships, nature, music, art—of life itself. A poignant, lovely, illuminating, and inspiring conversation with someone who lives her talk and is making a meaningful difference in a culture that has lost its way in its approach to aging and caring for elders.

Fed up with the fear-driven, anti-aging hysteria, millions of people turn to her for a proven approach to navigating the new longevity—one based upon a profound truth: the key to good longevity isn’t the length of your life, it’s the quality of your life. Efforts to maximize lifespan, and even healthspan, don’t address the whole picture. Longevity is meaningless if you don’t like your life. In her New York Times best-seller, Dr. Burnight introduces the critical concept of “joyspan,” based on the science of well-being, contentment, connection, meaning, growth, and choice.Dr. Kerry Burnight taught Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology for 18 years at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, where she co-founded and directed the nation’s first Elder Abuse Forensic Center. She currently teaches at the University of Chicago and has been featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, Time Magazine, CBS Mornings, Oprah Daily, CNN, and BBC News.

  • Meeting the Pain of the World: A Path to Collective Healing

    Meeting the Pain of the World: A Path to Collective Healing
    Jul 23 2026
    Ep. 238 | In this brilliantly articulated and illuminating conversation, renowned international facilitator Thomas Hübl shares his deep understanding of the dynamics of collective trauma as well as practical wisdom about how we can heal the large, often inherited, wounds we carry. Thomas conveys the magnitude of problems created by shoving our collective wounds out of sight and mind, perhaps the worst consequence of which is when we do this, we are destined to repeat the same horrors over again. What we need, Thomas explains, is to develop an architecture that would provide a healing space to deal with our wounds (racism, genocide, and immigration, to name a few). Meeting our collective pain in this way would allow us to mature to a level of forgiveness where we could collaborate globally on urgent issues like AI and climate change. Without this healing, Thomas says, the energy that can forgive remains frozen in the wound.The dialogue becomes profoundly hopeful as Thomas describes someone who has met their pain and healed themselves of individual and collective trauma. Listening is like receiving a transmission—for a moment we feel ourselves to be this person: integrated, authentic, vulnerable, fully attuned to our reality, at peace with both the beauty and the difficulties, free of false hopes and unrealistic dreams. If we could embrace the power of collective healing that Thomas has witnessed again and again in his work, and “melt the permafrost of our collective trauma,” we could step out of the never-ending cycle of violence, cruelty, and misunderstanding that will otherwise continue to haunt us. This conversation goes right to the heart of things: if we recognize our interrelatedness and find a way to practice interdependence, we can grow beyond our individual and collective pain into a tremendously more hopeful future. Recorded October 30, 2025.“Unconscious information is destiny. Conscious information has a choice, has a future.”Topics & Time StampsIntroducing teacher, author & facilitator Thomas Hübl, who offers a deep understanding of collective trauma—and collective healing (00:49)How is Thomas able to stay attuned and hold this large field he works with? (02:43)Attunement is another way to say interdependence (05:56)A grounded spiritual practice helps to hold the space & learn from the process, rather than direct the process (06:57)How does Thomas understand the healing process? (10:51)Bringing awareness to a collective wound allows it to give its gift (14:03)Has Thomas found a way of working with the Israel/Gaza situation? (16:03)Hot trauma is different from historical or ancestral trauma (21:55)Without processes to deal with large wounds, the repetition compulsion will keep happening (23:00)How to deal with authoritarian regimes whitewashing history? (25:47)Huge trauma wounds in the U.S.: racism, genocide, and now immigration (27:07)We need a collective healing space; everybody who is alive has been born into this legacy and it has become normalized (28:22)In this global village, there is no “them” anymore (30:25) Cultural amnesia allows us to live with violence; nonviolence is a natural consequence of realizing interdependence (32:06)Ethics and health are inherently interrelated (34:17)You cannot erase history; it’s a felt experience in our bodies (36:14) The exaggeration of separation & self-righteousness by social media (37:11)The reality we create with each other is painful; hope lies in a sense of agency (40:16) How can we forgive horrific violations of life? Melting the permafrost of our collective trauma (42:58) What does a person look like who has faced these deep issues and healed?

  • When Soul, World & God Became Separate: The Loss, the Paradox & the Promise of Integration

    When Soul, World & God Became Separate: The Loss, the Paradox & the Promise of Integration
    Jul 9 2026
    Ep. 237 | In the 19th dialogue of the A. H. Almaas Wisdom Series, an exploration of the final chapter of The Inner Journey Home, Hameed Ali looks at the evolution of Western culture and how it happened that soul, world, and God became divided as the culture developed. Hameed explains this was a necessary evolutionary step, an inherent part of our development, and though we lost our spiritual footing in the process (with secularization came a “gaping emptiness, meaninglessness, a lack of true fulfillment”), the separation of science and Church freed science and later psychology to take off on their own trajectories, leading to great strides in our understanding of our physical world and psychological make-up. The secularization of society turned out to have plenty of benefits, including improving the physical and economic well-being of many. But where does that leave us now, and what does the future hold? Will there be an integration of these disparate parts, where spiritual ground becomes a foundational piece of our next stage of evolution? Can the scientific perspective, with its precision and clarity of mind, be brought to bear on our inner life of spiritual inquiry as well as the outer nature of reality? In realizing that our soul needs life’s encounters to mature—meditation alone is not enough—will we find the lost “pearl beyond price” individually and possibly collectively or in small groups? Hameed concludes by telling us that the Diamond Approach is about redeeming the mind: integrating the diamond clarity of the intellect with spiritual depth. He shares his vision of fully realized scientists merging a spiritual perspective with precise and penetrating inquiry, and ends with the wish for all human beings to know: “People who are listening… it’s possible for you.” Recorded June 11, 2026.“The spiritual ground that science doesn’t deal with is needed to complete the story.”Topics & Time StampsIntroducing dialogue #19 in the A. H. Almaas Wisdom Series, in which Hameed Ali explores the final chapter of The Inner Journey Home (00:45)The development of Western culture & the idea that soul, God, and world are separate (03:27)The separation of God, soul & world was a necessary evolutionary step (05:39)This secularization of society allowed the scientific point of view to develop (09:15)The bifurcation happened also in the field of psychology, especially with the influence of Freud (14:49)Our inherent spirit of inquiry came to be applied to the outer world instead of the inner; with secularism, the spiritual perspective was left behind (17:50)With secularization came meaninglessness; capitalism & communism focused on economics (26:16)Will integration happen? Can secularization find its spiritual depth? (30:08)What does the future hold? Hameed thinks humanity’s enlightenment is a LONG way off (34:47)Valuing autonomy is an outer reflection of the valuing of the uniqueness of the individual, the pearl beyond price (36:06)Gurdjieff thought humans don’t live long enough to grow spiritually (40:12)Finding the lost pearl: the soul matures through encounters in life—not just in meditation (42:24)The complete pearl integrates the compassion, love & intelligence of boundless awareness: the personalization of the absolute (45:00)What are the possibilities of developing a cultural pearl or a species pearl? (47:00) The Fermi paradox, the future, AI, and the importance of personal experience (51:20)Can we teach AI to make truth the #1 priority? (56:22)Roger reads the epilogue of The Inner Journey Home, a beautiful distillation of the soul’s journey (57:17)Having a few spiritual individuals living their true nature is what keeps humanity alive (59:49)Redeeming the mind: this teaching integrates the diamond clarity of the intellect with spiritual depth (1:00:23)Hameed’s wish for all human beings (1:05:49)Resources & ReferencesA.
