We sit 187 days a year. AI is frying our brains. We feel like crap. But we don't have to! My book BODY ELECTRIC is out today. Built on a @ColumbiaMed clinical trial with 20,000 people, it's a playbook for reclaiming your body and brain without going off the grid.

I got to talk with @manoushz on @TEDRadioHour! npr.org/programs/ted-radio-h…

When Stories Collide

In the cult comic American Born Chinese, Gene Luen Yang weaves mythical folklore with a coming-of-age immigrant story. The author reflects on why his story still feels relevant to young readers.

It feels odd to be so down about cuts @npr yet so delighted by part 2 of @TEDRadioHour's #mindbodyspirit series. If YOU need some light shed on a dark week, listen to @SIRHEFFINGTON @leethomastv Adie Delaney @KCDavisSays on feeling GOOD in our BODIES bit.ly/42vjIrV

Mind, Body, Spirit - Part 2

We know it's important to listen to our bodies and trust how we feel—but it's not always easy. In part 2 of our series Mind, Body, Spirit, TED speakers explore ideas about movement, pleasure and rest.

Elon, come on. You have to pay for 2-step verification via text now? That's just exploitative.

Despite the proverbial sword dangling from above, @npr staff continues to make great content. Had the pleasure of mastering a special upcoming @TEDRadioHour episode yesterday. Kudos to @manoushz, @kmonteleone_, @s_meshkinpour, @AndreaGtrrz & my engineering colleague @NPRPatrick.

An example of bad AI? I backed up thousands of photos of my kids to Dropbox where it A) stripped the metadata + B) decided my kids are the same person. It then put composite-child's photos in chronological order starting at newborn. I'll have to manually go thru them, I guess? 🤨

This week is heavy here @NPR. The layoffs become real and we will lose colleagues who work so hard to put on our programming everyday. We don't know who will go but we know that everyone who is here now... we need them. Tough days ahead.

Thank you @manoushz for the philosophical discussion about BCI on TED Radiohour as well as a little peek into the future. @NPR @TEDRadioHour npr.org/2023/03/17/116398822… – at Bronx, NY

What if a brain was given technology?

What if you could control a device, not with your hand, but with your mind? Physician and entrepreneur Tom Oxley talks about the implantable brain-computer interface that can change the way we think.

Is self-love just narcissism in disguise? Even if it works, will it really change anything in a fucked-up world? I get grilled by the great @manoushz on these and other questions on the venerable @TEDRadioHour n.pr/40ePVC0

Mind, Body, Spirit - Part 1

For millennia, we have debated the mind, body, spirit connection. But today, it sounds trite, #selfcare. In this series, we explore fresh ideas on how we think, move, and feel. This hour: the mind.
