Ep. 89: Gay, Tortured, and Abused In Turkey: The Burak Yilmaz Story, Author of "If My Mother Never Left"

Feed drop from The Deep Culture podcast from the Japan Intercultural Institute. These episodes will help you understand culture shock and the disorientation that happens during the immigrant experience. 

In this episode, Joseph and Yvonne discuss the “Oz Moment”—the experience of wonder and surprise that comes from first experiencing the sights, sounds and sensations in a foreign place. This episode explores the mental processes that lead to Oz Moment experiences. We hear from Ayako, who had a life-changing experience when she stepped into the restroom at LAX. Oz moments teach us a lot about how our mind works when we have intercultural experiences.

We are taking a break from our regularly scheduled episodes. 

This week I will be presenting a signature talk about my forthcoming book, "Come Home to Yourself: An Immigrant Experience Decoding America, Fall 2024" at the London Intercultural Institute, EmpowerHer 2024. March 7-8, 2004. The event will be streamed live on LinkedIn. 

Registration for Zoom closes today., March 6. I will present at 1:15 p.m. EST.

Feed Drop: Deep Culture Podast, Episode 5.

In this episode, hosts Yvonne van der Pol and Joseph Shaules reflect on a question they were asked during a Brain, Mind and Culture Masterclass: Where is culture in the brain? They say that there is no specific location for culture in the brain. To understand the way that culture shapes our minds, we need to remember: three brains, two minds, and one person. The three brains refer to brain structures that reflect our evolutionary past—the “reptile brain”, the “mammalian brain” and the “primate brain”. The two minds refers to the intuitive (fast thinking-pattern based) mind and the attentive (slow-thinking analytic). Despite the complexity of these cognitive systems, we experience it all simply as the self – one person. Yvonne tells a story of cross-cultural coaching—a German who feels that Dutch people interrupt too much! While the difference may be cultural, the irritation he felt was in his whole body!

This week we are taking a break from our regularly scheduled interviews.

This podcast - Deep Culture podcast from the Japan Intercultural Institute by Dr. Joseph Shaules and team has helped me under the disorientation that one experiences after moving to a foreign country.  I am sharing a few episodes with you because I think it will help you understand your own immigrant experience. 

In season 1, episode 4 of the Deep Culture podcast, Yvonne and Joseph dive deep into talk about culture from the brain-mind-science perspective. They share their excitement about new areas of research, such as cultural neuroscience, which is revolutionizing our understanding of culture and the mind. They discuss the importance of cultural “A-ha” moments of insight—these remind us the intercultural experiences touch us at deep levels of the self, and help us grow.
