While the world may feel increasingly more fraught, we can't sustain ourselves on anger and fear alone. We must remember what we're fighting for and, as Tennessee Williams asks of us, save the love.

This latest episode kicks off a series of episodes on Awakening the Heart - theories, teachings, and practices that will better sustain us in the months and years to come. 

This month, we take a look at why shouldn't feel guilty for taking time out of resisting to foreground what brings us joy and happiness. In fact, making sure we build in positive moments in our lives is going to set up our brains to be more creative and energetic warriors. 

Some highlights include: 

- Dr. Barbara Fredrickson's theories on  "micro-moments of connection" and Broaden & Build

- The Mahayana Buddhist concept of bodhicitta (open-heartedness)

- Dr. Rick Hanson's "Taking in the Good" practice.
