Unlock Hope

Avi Loeb is the Director of the Institute for Theory and Computation at Harvard working in astrophysics and cosmology.  According to TIME he is one of the 25 most influential people in space. Today he is here to talk with Lisa about how we've been searching in the wrong places for extraterrestrial life. For decades we have focused on things like radio signals when millions of objects pass by us every year. Avi believes some of this space debris could be artificial and may hold answers to our greatest questions. 

Lisa tells the story of the accident she had when she was 11 years old. How she responded then and how those events are still affecting her even 40 years later. The experiences we have shape who we are and even if you try to leave some things unresolved in the past your body doesn't forget. 

This week on Unlock Hope, Lisa sits down with author Steven Kotler to talk about his upcoming book, Gnar Country: Growing Old, Staying Rad. A study of how with proper goals and a bit of FLOW psychology we can redefine what aging means for our bodies. He has developed a practice to prove that you can in fact teach an old dog a new trick, you just have to know how.

Steven Kotler is a New York Times bestselling author with 14 books out currently. He is the Executive Director of the Flow Research Collective and a leading expert on human performance. He and his wife are also heavily involved in animal rights and cofounded the Rancho de Chihuahua a sanctuary and hospice care center for special needs dogs.
