    The "Happy Life" Scientist: How To FINALLY Beat Stress, Worry & Uncertainty! Dacher Keltner | E219

    Dacher Keltner, Steven

    Dr. Dacher Keltner addresses the decline in US life expectancy by arguing that structural inequality and the accumulation of power erode the biological mechanisms of compassion, such as vagal tone and awe. He presents evidence that simple interventions like social connection, skin-to-skin touch, and nature exposure can counteract this "power paradox" to significantly extend longevity and reduce systemic issues like obesity and recidivism. The speaker concludes that integrating these elements into hospitals, prisons, and homes is essential to reverse the current meaning crisis and restore cooperative human instincts.
