26 min - Human Ability for Self Change
Reuven Feuerstein said, “Change is the most stable characteristic of human beings.” Although we may not even recognize it when it does happen. Now that neuroscience supports this idea with research in the field of neuroplasticity, we have more good reasons to believe in the power of this parameter of mediated learning experience.

16 min - Transcendence and Inspiration
The mediator can be a parent, a teacher, a counselor, or a friend. When the mediator helps another to see the big picture and go beyond the immediate need to just complete a task, we are getting to the heart of transcendence. This is like building a bridge between a simple worksheet and principles for life. Let’s call them nuggets of wisdom! Take a listen to some golden truths!

23 min - Meaning & Mediation
We all have that special person in our life that we could spend hours with at a coffee shop solving the world’s problems. We also remember that one amazing teacher who helped us to finally see value in a school subject that we thought we disliked! At least I hope you had one of those teachers! Dr. Zehr had a certain Mr. Williams in 7th grade. She discovered science was way cooler than she ever imagined! For human interactions to go beyond intentionality-reciprocity, they need to be meaningful. Listen to this week’s topic of meaningful mediation.

About Build a Brain
From the publisher's feed
How in heaven’s name does someone BUILD A BRAIN! Please allow me to explain. In the late 1990’s, I was watching a webinar about teaching for intelligence. This very idea was counter to all I had been…
taught in college. Of course, intelligence is fixed - determined by the genes and early childhood. It can’t be “taught” or so I thought. But one man on the panel of child experts disagreed with everyone else. I saw his name was Reuven Feuerstein and he changed my life!
