Spark My Muse

If you're born with all the markers of a psychopathic brain, can you really be blamed if you commit a crime that others in your family tree have committed? (Hear about Neuroscientist James Fallon's story.)

How much choice do we have in life, really?

What are we truly morally responsible for?

Is the person who plans a crime but doesn't get to carry it out because of a mistake as guilty as a person whose same evil pan worked?

These and other interesting and difficult questions are the topic of discussion today with my guest, philosopher Diana Hsieh.

Visit SparkMyMuse.com for helpful links, show notes, and extras. Don't forget to tune in on Wednesdays and Fridays for new shows.

Thanks so very much for listening.

Today's episode is about those maybe all too common times when people and situations remind us of old pain, or we catch ourselves reacting instead responding because there is something familiar happening to us once again....and what to do about it.

Please make sure to visit SparkMyMuse.com for show notes with very useful information (the author I mention in the episode, but couldn't call to mind by name during the recording, is Matt Khan and his a book link is in the show notes!) and kind of "pre-announcement" for Soul School fans about something on the horizon that I'm working on.

SPARK MY MUSE DETAILS:

WEDNESDAYS are episodes of Soul School.

FRIDAYS are longer episode conversations with guests.

LIVE

In FEBRUARY, join me on Blab.im for 3 LIVE discussions.

• Thursday, FEB 11, 8pm ET

• Saturday, FEB 13, 11am ET

• Thursday, FEB 25, 8 pm ET

( Access link to attend & REPLAY links to watch can be found by following me on Twitter @lisadelay and see REPLAYS at SparkMyMuse.com)

I thank you so much for listening in and sticking me in your ears....in a good way. AND for sharing the show with others, in the form of an iTunes review or just old fashion word-of-mouth, "hey dude (or darling), I know you'll like this!".

Every little bit of love and support helps and I am very grateful. If you spread the word, let me know you did, and I'll be sure to thank you, personally. I've been known to mail out Spark My Muse stickers too...so if you're creative, that counts as bonus points.

Check out Facebook.com/sparkmymuse if you'd like to leave comments about an episode or event pictures about "assigned homework" and check out backlogged episodes. You have to subscribe to see them all. iTunes is weird like that. Thanks for being so awesome. I love the retweets, and emails, and "great job!" messages. Thank you.

If you want, tweet a "hi" to me @lisadelay or even leave me a message at (608) 957-7275 with a question or comment.

I appreciate all the lovely listeners in 147 countries tuning in. How amazing is that!? wow. You make me smile.

I'm grateful that you are listening in. Will you help me spread the word. It's just me over here, pounding the keys like a primate and hoping to get more ears tuning in. I need your help to make that happen--you bet I do!

"Follow Your Passion!" might be the worst advice you can ever get. Cal Newport's take flies in the face of that common adage and I had to share my findings with you.

Each WEDNESDAY join me for a short and potent SOUL SCHOOL. and each FRIDAY come back for a longer episode with a guest.

Stop by SparkMyMuse.com for important links and extras for each episode, and get in on the Friday newsletter too that includes links to articles and REPLAYS to my Live online discussions.

I appreciate that you are spending some time with me and listening in. If you enjoy the show at all, please leave a review on iTunes and include what you liked about the show. You can contact me at SparkMyMuse.com using the contact page if you have questions or suggestions. Or reach out on Twitter: @lisadelay

I'm cooking up some very special goodies for Patrons/subscribers in 2016, so stay tuned for announcements.
