Self-construction: An Inner and Outer Journey with Brian Lowery PhD May 24, 2023

Show notes

From birth, our self is created by other people. We inherently carry intergenerational baggage from our ancestors, then the process of constructing our ‘self’ comes from feedback about who we are from the time, culture, and society we grow up in. Do we truly have any control over who we are and who we will become?
To discover the social construction behind what we consider our sense of self, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with social psychologist, and the Walter Kenneth Kilpatrick Professor of Organizational Behavior at Stanford University, Dr. Brian Lowery.
Brian explains the premise of his book Selfless: The Social Creation of “You”, and describes the multidimensional facets of self.

From Happiness to Hopefulness with Carol Graham PhD Apr 26, 2023

Mind the Dash: Forging a Meaningful Life with Dean Rickles PhD Apr 19, 2023

Show notes

Most teenagers’ default setting is mimetic desire. Before online technologies were ubiquitous, teens would mimic the behavior of familial or social influences to shape their morality and conduct. During times of quiet reflection, they indulged in self-assessment.
But with social media algorithms designed to manipulate the mind through wasted time, there are entire age groups that are becoming externally referenced.
To discover ways to retain our individualism, Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with author and professor Dean Rickles PhD. Dean offers a philosophical and psychological look into the damaging effects of social media on social connections. He shares the core principles from his book Life is Short: An Appropriately Brief Guide to Making it More Meaningful as examples of how death can be a driver to embark on a richer, more meaningful life.
