Former criminalist, Eldon Taylor, believes that true enlightenment can only come when you learn to take charge of your own thoughts. Can you state that your beliefs truly are your own and not just adopted from ideas that are politically correct and mass approved? According to Eldon Taylor, free thinking is difficult for many reasons, ranging from the psychology of your being to the mass attempts to mold your thinking for the convenience of others! Join Eldon Taylor on Provocative Enlightenment, where nothing is too sacred to be discussed and everything is aimed at dissecting what it means to be spiritually aware in the 21st century. Provocative Enlightenment is for those of you interested in pushing the boundaries, creating waves, and breaking free!

February 08, 2021 20:00 - 52 minutes - 95.7 MBWhenever we worry about what to eat, how to love, or simply how to be happy, we are worrying about how to lead a good life. No goal is more elusive. In How to Be a Stoic, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci offers Stoicism, the ancient philosophy that inspired the great emperor Marcus Aurelius, as the best way to attain it.

February 01, 2021 20:00 - 52 minutes - 96.2 MBBerit Brogaard, PhD, and Kristian Marlow, MA, study people with astonishing talents—memory champions, human echolocators, musical virtuosos, math geniuses, and synesthetes who taste colors and hear faces.

From the day her daughter was born, science journalist Marta Zaraska fretted about what she and her family were eating. She fasted, considered adopting the keto diet, and ran a half-marathon. She bought goji berries and chia seeds and ate organic food. But then her research brought her to read countless scientific papers and to interview dozens of experts in various fields of stu...
21-0111-Galileo's Error with Prof. Philip Goff
January 11, 2021 20:00 - 52 minutes - 95.5 MBFrom a leading philosopher of the mind comes this lucid, provocative argument that offers a radically new picture of human consciousness—panpsychism. Understanding how brains produce consciousness is one of the great scientific challenges of our age. Some philosophers argue that consciousness is something “extra,” beyond the physical workings of the brain. Others think that if we persist in our standard scientific methods, our questions about consciousness will eventually be answered. And s...

20-1214-Scavengers of Beauty with Philippe Sibaud
December 14, 2020 20:00 - 51 minutes - 96.7 MBWhy was the mission to the Moon named after the God of the Sun, and not after a Moon Goddess or God? In this unconventional work, Philippe Sibaud explores the symbolism behind the 1969 landing on the Moon. More than fifty years after this seminal event, and whilst the Moon is attracting renewed interest, the author offers a bold new interpretation of the iconic Apollo mission. Was the Apollo landing the ultimate triumph of solar consciousness over the ancient lunar ways, a concrete enactment...
20-1207-A Glimpse Behind the Veil with Richard Rowland
December 07, 2020 20:00 - 51 minutes - 94.4 MBDid a tiny bird in Texas really communicate with a horse and convince him it was okay to load on a trailer he’d never been on? Did a horse, after a three-year absence, know that its previous owner was present by hearing a harmonica being played? Did a horse, who had never acted up, hurt its owner on purpose so she would go to the doctor, where she discovered cancer had returned? Richard D. Rowland seeks the answer to fascinating questions as he explores the connection between humans and anim...

20-1123-Why We Act with Prof. Catherine Sanderson
November 23, 2020 20:00 - 51 minutes - 93.9 MBWe are bombarded every day by reports of bad behavior, from sexual harassment to political corruption and bullying belligerence. It’s tempting to blame evil acts on evil people, but that leaves the rest us off the hook. Silence, after all, can perpetuate cruelty. Why We Act draws on the latest developments in psychology and neuroscience to tackle an urgent question: Why do so many of us fail to intervene when we’re needed―and what would it take to make us step up? A renowned psychologist wh...
20-1116-How I Escaped Political Correctness with Loretta Breuning, Ph.D.
November 16, 2020 20:00 - 51 minutes - 93.5 MBYou care about the greater good, but you want to define it for yourself. What if you disagree with the politically correct view? You fear ridicule, shunning and attack, so you tell yourself it’s not worth it and find a way to conform. Until one day you can’t. I was politically correct until the day I heard myself lie about a simple fact because the truth didn’t sound progressive. I froze– in the middle of a lecture to 150 students. Enough! I decided to take back my brain. I gave myself perm...

20-1102-Practicing Positive Leadership with Prof. Kim Cameron
November 02, 2020 20:00 - 51 minutes - 94.6 MBPlenty of research has been done on why companies go terribly wrong, but what makes companies go spectacularly right? That’s the question that Kim Cameron asked over a decade ago. Since then, Cameron and his colleagues have uncovered the principles and practices that set extraordinarily effective organizations apart from the merely successful. In his previous book, Positive Leadership, Cameron identified four strategies that enable these organizations, and the individuals within them, to f...
20-1026-Ultimate Price with Prof. Howard Steven Friedman
October 26, 2020 19:00 - 51 minutes - 94.4 MBHow much is a human life worth? Individuals, families, companies, and governments routinely place a price on human life. The calculations that underlie these price tags are often buried in technical language, yet they influence our economy, laws, behaviors, policies, health, and safety. These price tags are often unfair, infused as they are with gender, racial, national, and cultural biases that often result in valuing the lives of the young more than the old, the rich more than the poor, ...
20-1019-The Meritocracy Trap with Prof. Daniel Markovits
October 19, 2020 19:00 - 51 minutes - 94.1 MBIt is an axiom of American life that advantage should be earned through ability and effort. Even as the country divides itself at every turn, the meritocratic ideal – that social and economic rewards should follow achievement rather than breeding – reigns supreme. Both Democrats and Republicans insistently repeat meritocratic notions. Meritocracy cuts to the heart of who we are. It sustains the American dream. But what if, both up and down the social ladder, meritocracy is a sham? Today, m...

20-0907-Truth with Hector Macdonald
September 07, 2020 19:00 - 51 minutes - 95 MBWe like to think that there is a clear distinction between true and false. The reality is far murkier. Truth can be spun in the names used, the context applied, the omissions committed, the framing deployed and many other ways. “Truth” can look vey different to different people. Macdonald explains how these so-called “competing truths” are used both constructively and misleadingly by businesses, media, politicians, advertisers, and even regular people having regular conversations. Hector Ma...

20-0824-Decoding Schopenhauer's Metaphysics with Bernardo Kastrup
August 24, 2020 19:00 - 51 minutes - 93.7 MBFirst proposed more than 200 years ago, Schopenhauer’s extraordinarily prescient metaphysics – if understood along the lines thoroughly elucidated and substantiated in this volume – offers powerful answers not only to the paradoxes of quantum mechanics, but also to modern philosophical dilemmas such as the hard problem of consciousness – which plagues mainstream physicalism, and the subject combination problem – which plagues constitutive panpsychism. This invaluable treasure of the Western...
20-0817-Shine On with David Ditchfield
August 17, 2020 19:00 - 51 minutes - 94.4 MBAcross thousands of years, people have described one of the most astonishing of all human phenomena: the near-death experience (NDE), the subjective experience of an Afterlife, a place where we apparently survive death. The more powerful the NDE, the more profound the after effects. The ambitious reset their priorities. Atheists change their values. Doctors rethink their beliefs. But what if the after effects of an NDE were undeniable? What if someone suddenly developed the ability to produc...
20-08010-Self-Compassion with Kristin Neff, Ph.D.
August 10, 2020 19:00 - 51 minutes - 94.6 MBThe relentless search for high self-esteem has become a virtual religion; and a tyrannical one at that. Our competitive culture tells us we need to be special and above average to feel good about ourselves, but we can’t all be above average at the same time. Fortunately, there is an alternative to self-esteem that many psychologists believe is a better and more effective path to happiness: self-compassion. The research of Dr. Kristin Neff and others strongly suggests that people who are more...

20-0720-The Velvet Rope Economy with Nelson Schwartz
July 20, 2020 19:00 - 51 minutes - 93.6 MBFrom New York Times business reporter Nelson D. Schwartz comes a gripping investigation of how a virtual velvet rope divides Americans in every arena of life, creating a friction-free existence for those with money on one side and a Darwinian struggle for the middle class on the other side. In nearly every realm of daily life–from health care to education, highways to home security–there is an invisible velvet rope that divides how Americans live. On one side of the rope, for a price, red t...

July 13, 2020 19:00 - 51 minutes - 93.8 MBOne simply has to look at news headlines, in the workplace, or into a classroom to find evidence of a troubling problem: bullying is affecting the lives of many people, causing severe emotional damage that can stay with them for life.

As a long-time educator and parent, Jeanie Cisco-Me...

July 06, 2020 19:00 - 52 minutes - 95.9 MBIn The Myth of Mirror Neurons, neuroscientist Gregory Hickok re-examines the mirror neuron story and finds that it is built on a tenuous foundation-a pair of co-dependent assumptions about mirror neuron activity and human understanding. Drawing on a broad range of observations from work on animal behaviour, modern neuroimaging, neurological disorders and more, Hickok argues that the foundational assumptions fall flat in light of the facts. He then explores alternative explanations of mirror ...

He reaches the provocative conclusion that, if the universe is thought of in terms of its truths, it is essentially open and incompl...
