  • WINTER: The Secret to Thriving in the Darkest Season (Ad-free)
    Jan 16 2025
    In our deeply divided nation, there's one thing many of us seem to agree on: winter is the worst. A recent study found that nearly half of Americans would skip winter if they could. Yet not everyone dreads the cold months. Psychologist Kari Leibowitz has spent years studying these winter-lovers, and she's arrived at a surprising truth: people who thrive this time of year aren't just born that way — they've learned to see the season differently. So can you. Guest: Kari Leibowitz, author of "How to Winter" Host: Caleb Bissinger Want big ideas sent straight to your inbox every morning? Sign up for our Book of the Day newsletter

  • DRIVE: A Fresh Look at the Science of Motivation (with Daniel Pink) (Ad-free)
    Jan 9 2025
    What drives human motivation? For years, the answer seemed simple: rewards. Dangle the right carrot — a bonus, stock options, "Employee of the Month" certificate — and people will perform. But Daniel Pink's 2009 bestseller "Drive" flipped this idea on its head. Drawing on decades of scientific research, Dan revealed that our deepest motivations come from within: the innate drive for autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Now, 15 years after "Drive" revolutionized our understanding of motivation, Dan joins us to discuss how this science has evolved and what it means for anyone trying to motivate themselves or others in today's rapidly changing world. You can find Dan's previous appearances on the show here And follow his Washington Post column "Why Not?"
