The latest episode, dropping October 23rd, features Andrew Stuhl, an environmental studies professor. He discusses his "Agnes Flood Project," which gathers memories from Susquehanna River Valley residents about the devastating 1972 Hurricane Agnes flood. Stuhl emphasizes how historical events, like the flood's pungent mud smell, trigger powerful memories and offer vital lessons in resilience. These insights are crucial for navigating today's challenges, including the Coronavirus Pandemic and climate change.

This interview from The Well, created with the John Templeton Foundation, features biological anthropologist Agustín Fuentes. He challenges the traditional measure of evolutionary success—population growth and increased lifespan—arguing it's a narrow, Euro-American perspective that doesn't truly equate to success.

Fuentes proposes that human evolutionary success should instead be measured by our capacity for flourishing, encompassing health, security, interaction, and well-being. Crucially, this includes how flourishing is distributed across our entire species.

This interview from The Well features Arthur Brooks discussing metacognition—the act of thinking about thinking. Brooks explains how this skill helps us reflect on our emotional life, allowing us to evaluate feelings before reacting. This practice fosters greater emotional health, much like encouraging children to "use their words" instead of screaming.

Metacognition is a learnable skill requiring patience. Brooks stresses that negative emotions are normal and healthy; what matters is how we engage with them. Mastering this ability can enhance personal happiness and the well-being of others. Watch Arthur Brooks’s next interview: There is a formula for happiness — but it’s highly misunderstood.
