Copy of 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday: Happiness Is Here and Now
Hello to you listening in Manassas, Virginia!
Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.
Maybe like me you’ve been so busy with stuff that you defer your happiness - until tomorrow. Maybe you think that the faster you go the quicker you’ll get ahead but actually the behinder you get.
What if we choose to begin anew by slowing our busy lives. What if there was a way to remember to slow down. I have something that might help from the good monastics at Deer Park Monastery where no one hurries but everything gets done:
“Happiness is here and now
I have dropped my worries
Nowhere to go
Nothing to do
No longer in a hurry.
Happiness is here and now
I have dropped my worries
Somewhere to go
Something to do
And I don’t need to hurry.”
Practical Tip: Give it go. See how it helps you!

Phenomenology
You are an experience machine, everything that has ever happened to you and everything that will ever happen to you is experience. Reflecting on your experience offers a unique insight into the nature of reality and forms the basis for the philosophical methodology of phenomenology. In this episode we explore phenomenology from its inception by Edmund Husserl in the early 20th century, to Martin Heidegger's exploration of being-in-the-world, the embodiment of phenomenology as described by Maurice Merleau-Ponty and its influence on the applied phenomenology of Iris Marion Young's work on femininity.

Cognitivism
The cognitive revolution in psychology began in the mid 20th century and supplanted behaviourism as the dominant theoretical paradigm explaining human cognition and behaviour which continues today. We explore the origins of cognitive psychology, what it has revealed about the workings of the mind, cognitive maps and mental models, why it is like a computer but not like a computer, neural networks, and why despite great advances, it fails to capture the totality of what it means to be human.

Behaviorism
Behaviorism is a tradition within the field of psychology which came to prominence during the early to mid 20th century through the work of John B. Watson and B. F. Skinner. It includes the theories of classical and operant conditioning and was considered to explain all of human behavior. It has since been superseded by the cognitive revolution, however the principles of behaviorism can be found throughout modern psychology and society itself which we explore in this episode.

Materialism
The prevailing philosophical paradigm underpinning the physical sciences is materialism, also known as physicalism. Simply, everything that exists is material in some sense. However there are many concepts which seem immaterial so how are these reconciled? In this episode we briefly explore materialism and it’s issues.

The Benefits of Travel
Why do we travel? Why is it such an invigorating experience? The novelty of new environments takes us out of the comforting and familiar grooves of our lives and thrusts us into a heightened awareness. You are present now. The mundanity of life is no more as you surrender your wellbeing to total strangers. Join us as we share some of the reasons we enjoy traveling, how we think it helps us become better humans, and of course how it expands our minds!
Thanks again for stopping by and we hope you enjoy this episode of Expansive Minds.

The meaningless life with Professor James Tartaglia
To kick off the new year I recently spoke with philosopher James Tartaglia, a professor at Keele University, about nihilism and the meaning of life. It turns out, there isn’t one. But all hope is not lost as we also discuss what a modern day philosopher does, what nihilism means for everyday life, how to situate ethics in a meaningless universe, the paradox of absurdism, how to respect the views of others, the difference between evaluative and descriptive statements, the sense of self, and why seeing life as nihilistic is not as bad as it seems.

Risk Redefined
Did your belief in Christ and Him crucified change how you view risk and take prompt redefined action in your personal finances…your relationships…your works? Yes, Jesus covered our eternal destiny! But what about the here and now, too? Join Kevin as he walks through the reality of risk as believers: risk intentionally transformed by our life in Christ! // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.
Nihilism
We conclude our brief exploration of existentialism with this final chapter on its darkest philosophical interpretation, nihilism. Nihilism means literally, an ideology of nothing, which has led philosophers to a range of conclusions from the destruction of everything to the, whatever. We briefly consider the implications of nihilism, whether it is really that bad, and finally conclude with a few thoughts on what to fill the emptiness of an meaningless existence with. Happy new year!

Absurdism
An area of existentialist philosophy is absurdism which considers the conflict between the human tendency to seek inherent value and meaning in life and the inability to find these with any certainty. The work of French nobel prize winning writer and philosopher Albert Camus' forms the source material for this episode, specifically his most well known essay The Myth of Sisyphus.
