Welcome to another episode of Doing Well: The Well-Being Science Insights Podcast. Host Lu Ngo is joined by the renowned educator and TED speaker, Lisa Bu, to unravel a common mental habit we all fall victim to: the myside bias.

But her expertise doesn't stop there; she is also a computer programmer with a Ph.D. in journalism and an MBA in information systems from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, coupled with a BA in Chinese from Nanjing University in China. In this episode, Lisa demystifies the concept of my-side bias, offering real-life examples that vividly illustrate its impact on our decision-making processes. Lu and Lisa explore potential solutions for overcoming this bias, delving into strategies like harnessing emotional intelligence and preventing cognitive dissonance. Join us today to gain valuable insights into busting those inner biases. Tune in for an engaging and insightful conversation that will challenge your thinking and provide practical tools to navigate the complexities of human perception and decision-making.

As director of the Mindfulness Center at Brown University, Loucks teaches mindfulness-based programs and leads high-quality, methodologically rigorous research to investigate the science behind mindfulness and its impact on health and well-being. An expert in aging-related research, he optimizes mindfulness programs for specific age groups. He is the lead developer of Mindfulness-Based College (MBC) and Mindfulness-Based Blood Pressure Reduction (MB-BP) and has received numerous research grants from the National Institutes of Health to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions, including MBC, MB-BP, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). Dr. Loucks’ book entitled “The Mindful College Student” (New Harbinger Publications) was released in April 2022. Throughout his career, he has held teaching positions at Harvard, McGill, and Brown Universities. Loucks has practiced mindfulness for about 25 years. The conversation starts by getting to know Dr. Loucks through his favorite book, then deep diving into the importance of taking care of your well-being through exercise. He explains how mindfulness-based interventions help with physical health and health-related behaviors and also the relationship between engaging in active nature-based outdoor recreation and mindfulness.

Ep 8Karla McLaren, M.Ed.: Self-awareness, emotional fluency, and empathy in a workplace | Doing Well #6

Most individuals tend to distract themselves due to the notion that being vulnerable is associated with weakness. Every single day individuals deal with different emotions related to their workplace. In contrast, it is important to identify our emotions to understand ourselves. Only some people are aware of the importance of self-awareness. On this new episode of Doing Well: Wellbeing Science Insights Podcast, Karla McLaren, is an award-winning author, social science researcher, pioneering educator, founder and CEO of Emotion Dynamics LLC and EmpathyAcademy.org. will be joining our host, Lu Ngo. Motivated by her own traumatic abuse experienced as a young child, Karla conveys an emotional, honest, and empathetic view of self-awareness through understanding emotion and humanity in a social science field. Karla has researched, discussed, consulted, and written an award-winning book on emotion regulation. Self-awareness is primarily an emotional skill where emotion is not separated from logic. It is the basis of how an individual functions as a person. Everything an individual does and believes is based on decision-making and is impacted by emotion. How do individuals understand and be aware of their own emotions when people surrounding them tend to do the opposite? The conversation starts by getting to know Karla through his favorite book. Karla also shares her history as a survivor with the listeners and all the other journeys that led her to who she is now. Going to the heart of the discussion, the audience learns how self-awareness affects emotion and applies healthy empathy in the workplace.

Ep 7Adam Rosensweig: Emotional Intelligence and Adaptive Emotion Regulation | Doing Well #5

Most of the time, we get overwhelmed by our own emotions. This often occurs and eventually leads to counter-productivity, affecting our concentration and ability to achieve our goals. Instead, we need to find a prolific pathway to understanding our emotions and finding ways to overcome the overwhelming feeling that takes effect. Through this, we will be led to adapt emotional regulation and then move toward our goals. In this episode of Doing Well: Wellbeing Science Insights Podcast, host Lu Ngo is joined by Adam Rosenweig. Through his current journey as an emotional intelligence certified specialist, trainer, coach, and consultant and his experience in professional development, Adam conveys an adventurous route to emotional intelligence and how it can be regulated to become the personal benefit for any individual. Steuart has researched, discussed, consulted, and certified in emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence (EI) is a set of emotional and social skills that influences how an individual perceives and expresses themselves, develops and maintains social relationships, copes with challenges, and uses emotional information effectively and meaningfully. How do individuals do that when people surrounding them tend to do the opposite? The conversation starts by getting to know Adam through his favorite book. Adam also shares with the listeners his history as a blue-collar in construction and all others unrelated to EI experience, which brought him to focus on the emotional intelligence industry. Going to the heart of the discussion, the audience learns how EI can escalate them to achieve what they are destined for.

Most of the time, we are unaware of the importance of maintaining our digital health and wellbeing. Simply because most of the time, we never really notice it as the prominent thing in our life. When we dive into it, digital health and wellbeing are basically all about examining and managing our relationship, engagement, breaching potential, setting goals, and physical, mental, and spiritual health in our digital life and the interaction individual have with technology to help us thrive. Then if we think more about our digital citizenship and digital wellbeing, we've also got deep into cyber safety and online safety issue.

Ep 5Kit Kline: Nature-based Therapy | Doing Well #3

Most of the time, we are subconsciously disconnected from nature. Those times happen to us more than we can notice; when they happen, we often drift farther away from the beauty nature presents. This creates deeper issues, lengthening the road to finding our true selves. Instead, in life, we need to find balance and heal ourselves holistically. We need to have silent moments with ourselves in nature to voice out the grandeur and splendor of our souls. Through this, we will be led to our true selves. When we dive into it, nature-based therapy is a practice for individuals to find their authentic selves in an inauthentic world. All individuals should go back to their roots, our ancestors. All of this is to connect with nature and ourselves. How do we do that when the society around us is physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally unwell? On this Doing Well: Wellbeing Science Inside Podcast episode, host Lu Ngo is joined by Kit Kline. Kit delivers a calm approach to nature-based therapy, hopefully inspiring the listeners to do the same and find their inner balance. Kit has 17 years of experience working as a Counsellor and Educator in the social and community services sector with both public and private health services, specializing in mental health and addictions. The conversation starts by getting to know Kit through her favorite book. She also shares with the listeners her experience as a counselor and educator, which brought her to impactful work. Going to the heart of the discussion, we learn how this nature-based therapy can help us reconnect with our surroundings and, more importantly, ourselves.

Ep 4Marc Brackett: How to Understand Self-compassion Right | Doing Well #2

There are times when an individual suppresses and denies feeling. Even more, individuals can become judgemental and give themselves harsh critics, which we call self-critical. But instead, in life, we need to understand that for us to thrive as humans, we need to be kind to ourselves, and that's what we call self-compassion. When we deep dive into it, self-compassion is a practice for individuals to accept and permit themselves to feel, fail, fall, and forgive. All of which is to help ourselves to grow and move forward in life. How do we do that when it is easier to avoid and suppress ourselves to practice self-compassion? On this episode of Doing Well: Wellbeing Science Inside Podcast, host Lu Ngo is joined by Marc Brackett. He's writing his next book after his best-selling book on "Permission To Feel". Marc's energy is super calming in a way that influences the listeners to calmly accept and permit themselves to feel and embrace all of the imperfections in our lives as individuals. The conversation started by getting to know Marc through his favorite book. He also shares with the listeners his ongoing projects that will be launched soon, then goes to the meat of the discussion on how this self-compassion can help us thrive and maintain our wellbeing.
