We all live in boxes. Rich, poor, smart, not-so-smart: everyone’s inside their own personal box, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Boxes are safe, secure, and familiar. However, there’s a point in every human’s life where the goal is to break out of that box—to discover the world that’s truly out there. The question is, how? What does it take to break out of our boxes? What’s in store for us when we step outside our comfort zones?In this episode, I explore why we all live in a box and how our lives revolve around getting more boxes to fit inside our box. I describe Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and how it relates to our boxed lives. I explain why current society demands that we check boxes rather than find fulfillment. I describe why some people fail to get out of their boxes. I also share why I think technology, especially the type that keeps us anonymous, has made us live deeper in our boxes."Box thinking at a planetary level may in fact be the biggest existential threat there is." - Chris ColbertThis week on Insert:Human●      Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and my interpretation●      Why many people don’t reach the top levels of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs●      Why we find boxes comfortable●      How our diplomas are essentially proof of worth for other boxes●      Why the natural world is not made of boxes●      How technology has pushed us deeper into boxesResources Mentioned:●      Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html)Insert:Human - For a Better Life & Better WorldThanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Insert:Human.

Progress means taking risks, but sometimes we let fear paralyze us. We allow fear to make us think it’s impossible to move from where we are—that it’s safer to stay put. On the other hand, the bold ignore their fears, which is problematic in itself as it invites an array of dangers and risks. How do we manage the right balance between fear and possibility? In this episode, I explain how to win the battle between fear and possibility. I discuss why having too much fear or possibility is terrible and reveal how to achieve the correct ratio. I describe how I let fear rule some of my major life decisions and the long-term effects thereof. I relate fear and possibility to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and list the three questions we need to ask ourselves. I also explore why the US is currently operating in fear."Whatever we seek to transform, we can only succeed if the force of possibility within us outweighs the force of fear." - Chris ColbertThis week on Insert:Human●      Achieving the right ratio between fear and possibility●      Why too much fear or possibility is bad●      Some major decisions I made out of fear●      Reviewing Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs●      What allowed me to find a better ratio●      Asking ourselves about mastery, autonomy, and purpose●      How the pandemic threw everything into a fear-based tailspin●      The fear of loss surrounding the US today●      My one wish for the worldResources Mentioned:●      Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html)●      Book: A Course in Miracles by Helen SchucmanInsert:Human - For a Better Life & Better World Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Insert:Human.

His latest book, The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers, explores what dead philosophers can teach us about modern-day living. Eric was also a former foreign correspondent for NPR and a reporter for The New York Times.Eric joins me today to discuss the idea of progress and whether it’s always good or bad. He explains why religion still has a place in today’s technology-driven life. He describes the different ways technology can be biased. He shares what it means to be useful when aging alongside newer and faster technologies. Eric also discusses the easiest ways to find happiness today."What I find interesting is not what is said, but what is unsaid. What is unsaid is we are confused about progress, what it means, what it looks like, and its importance." - Eric WeinerThis week on Insert:Human●      Why Eric is a recurring guest on my show●      Eric's thoughts on the state of the world and the role of technology ●      Why progress is a topic we all collectively find confusing●      Why technological progress can be considered a religion●      Why every piece of technology has a bias●      Some of the simplest ways to boost personal happiness●      Why people assume technology is a good thing●      Why Eric says religion is still essential in today's society●      How usefulness is attached to age●      The one thing listeners should think about after this episodeConnect with Eric Weiner:●      Eric Weiner Website (https://ericweinerbooks.com/)●      Writing & Wellbeing in Bhutan (http://www.himalayanwritersworkshop.com/discovering-a-sense-of-place)●      Atlas of Ideas Newsletter (https://ericweinerbooks.com/newsletter/)●      Book: The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World●      Book: The Geography of Genius: Lessons from the World's Most Creative Places●      Book: The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers●      Book: Man Seeks God (https://www.amazon.com/Man-Seeks-God-Flirtations-Divine/dp/0446539481)●      Eric Weiner on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-weiner-17aa8639/)Insert:Human - For a Better Life & Better WorldThanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Insert:Human.

When I started this podcast, it never crossed my mind that we would reach 100 episodes so soon. I didn’t even think that we were nearing such a milestone, but here we are, and I’m happy to have you join me this past year. What were some of the highlights of the first 100 episodes? What should you expect for the next 100? In this episode, I share where I was in my career before I started Insert:Human. I describe what motivated me to talk about humanity, innovation, and where we’re headed. I explain the importance of seeking truth and how it’s the only way to realize our full potential as human beings. I discuss why many attempts at innovations fail. I also describe what I call The New Humanism Doctrine."For without truth, we are lost. With truth, we can realize the full potential of the human experiment." - Chris ColbertThis week on Insert:Human●      Where I was before I started this podcast●      My expectations when Insert:Human began●      Why innovators often fail to understand humans●      The consequences of some innovations●      Reflecting on the past year of the podcast and what we've learned●      Leading the human revolution and putting human centricity in everything●      Defining and explaining the Seven I's●      Why we can't rely on legacy systems to fix the human state●      The New Humanism Doctrine●      What to expect from the next 100 episodes of Insert:HumanInsert:Human - For a Better Life & Better WorldThanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Insert:Human.

Most of us were introduced to myths from an early age. I was fascinated by Greek myths and Greek mythology. There was something about the ancient mythical world of Hera and Zeus, Hades and Dionysus, and Ares and Aphrodite that really resonated with my eight-year-old self. The tales of Ulysses, Helen of Troy, and Romulus and Remus were better than almost any other tale I have ever been told.This truth has made me ponder; why do I - and humans in general - love myths so much, even when our rational selves know that Medusa wasn’t that ugly and snakes can’t actually grow out of a Gorgon's head?In today’s episode, I explore why we believe in myths and why our society’s beliefs in falsehoods, make-believes, and mythology only grows. I opine about the conspiracy theories and political myths in American society today and the many myths children today are encouraged to believe. I explore the Four Theories of Myths and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs theory, a myth in itself. And finally, I highlight how we use myths to comfort our fears and worries and find simple answers to the complex and often unanswerable questions about living and the meaning of life.“They make us feel better simply because we can use myths to park all our anxiety, all our worry in a lovely little box called a myth.” - Chris ColbertThis week on Insert:Human●     The paradox of our societies often being built on myths and falsehoods●     Conspiracy theories, political myths, and how 27% of white evangelicals believe QAnon is real●     The myths American children hear while growing up and why we are raised on myths●     The Four Theories of Myth●     Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory and the framework of all human behavior●     How religion satisfies Maslow's five fundamental levels of need●     The problems of taking action and making decisions based on fiction instead of factResources Mentioned:●     American Enterprise Institute Survey (https://www.aei.org/)Insert:Human - For a Better Life & Better WorldThanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Insert:Human.
