There have been a lot of really troubling headlines recently about the declining mental health of teens and the increasing rates of depression and suicide— particularly amongst teenage girls, but also amongst teenage boys. What’s behind it? And more importantly, what can we do about it? Plus– what’s the real key to happiness, or at least contentment, regardless of your age? 

We’re joined by Niro Feliciano, a cognitive psychotherapist and best selling author. You can often see her speaking on the 3rd Hour of the TODAY Show, NBC News Now, and also in print at Oprah Daily, Parents.com, InStyle and Real Simple Magazines– where she shares tips and strategies around mental health and parenting. She is the author of “This Book Won’t Make You Happy- 8 Keys to Finding True Contentment” and the podcast host of “All Things Life.” Niro is also a mother of four.

This Book Won’t Make You Happy: Eight Keys to Finding True Contentment

From the Salem Witch Trials to Qanon, it turns out that conspiracy theories are “as American as apple pie.” We dive into why we believe them, and how they have impacted American history and democracy in a conversation with author and cultural historian Colin Dickey. 

His latest book, “Under the Eye of Power: How Fear of Secret Societies Shape American Democracy,” provides some fascinating historical perspective into how fears of immigrants, other religions, and secret societies have impacted the country’s history over the last few centuries. 

Mark Twain once said that “history doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes,” and we learn that from this unique look at the American story.

Carlos Whittaker is a motivational speaker and author who spreads positivity daily and he brings it to the Mo News podcast in this edition. Whittaker’s Instagram account @loswhit is a true pleasure to follow as he helps change the lives of total strangers by enlisting his “instafamilia” to raise money for good causes and good people. 

He is out with a powerful new book, How to Human, with tips on how we can find ourselves and listen to one another in these divisive times. Mosh and Carlos talk about how to remain optimistic amid the onslaught of news and how we can all unplug from social media and technology to help reset our outlooks.
