Dr. John Schinnerer on another difference within the marvelous human brain – automatic or conscious processes. Who is really in charge - your “old” emotional brain or your “new” rational brain?

Close the gap between how you think your brain works and how it ACTUALLY works. You THINK you have free will. What if it were the case that you don’t have as much free will as you think? What if 90% of what you do and say is automatic?

A fascinating and novel approach to radio. Dr. John borrows Jim Gaffigan’s method of speaking the thoughts of the audience making for humorous and helpful radio. Best ever?!

Join Dr. John and Dr. Elizabeth Kearney for a rousing talk about a politically incorrect topic – the differences between the sexes. How do men and women differ in their approach to problem-solving? How are we different in the way in which we pursue goals? How are we different in our use of language?

Elizabeth Kearney, Ph.D. who specializes in strategic planning, effective leadership, and staff development training. This award-winning author and professor was a John Hopkins Fellow, and three of her books – Customers Run Your Company: They Pay the Bills, Everyone is a Customer, and People Power: Reading People for Results were Fortune Book-of-the-Month Club selections. Her latest book, Women Who Paved the Way, was introduced in November of 2005. Liz was selected in 2003 & 2004 as Businesswoman of the Year by the National Business Advisory Council.

Dr. John chats with Amy about parenting boys in this day and age where boys are often expected to act like little girls - quiet, restrained, and self-reflective. We’ve discussed the disservice we’ve done to our boys and men by shaming them into suppressing their feelings. After being shamed numerous times with looks of contempt and disgust, suppressing emotions becomes automatic. Once their behavior is automatic, then boys have two choices to respond to a perceived threat – silence or violence. They either get very quiet, withdraw or lash out physically.

Some boys have a terribly hard time managing their anger due to ADHD or simply to the fact that boys have more physical energy than girls.
So the question is how do you deal with this energy level particularly in the classroom? Tune in to find out.

Dr. John Schinnerer talks with Dr. Jonathan Haidt, author of “The Happiness Hypothesis: Why the Meaningful Life is Closer Than You Think.” Jon is a professor at the University of Virginia. And his book is about ten Great Ideas. Each chapter is an attempt to appreciate one idea that has been discovered by several of the world’s civilizations: to question it in light of what we now know from scientific research, and to extract from it the lessons that still apply to our modern lives. It is a book about how to construct a life of virtue, happiness, fulfillment, and meaning.

Some of the questions asked include…

You use metaphors effectively to help readers understand complex ideas. Would you tell us about your rider (conscious mind) and the elephant (unconscious, emotional mind) metaphor?

You write that we are all hypocrites and so it’s quite hard for us to stick to the Golden Rule. Why are we so hypocritical?

What about the happiness hypothesis? Where do you think happiness comes from?

What are your thoughts about Nietszche’s statement, “what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger?”

How have our concepts of values and morality changed over the years?

Listen in to Dr. John Schinnerer every Monday through Friday on KDIA 1640 AM in the SF Bay Area. http://www.guidetoself.com.
