Your brain doesn't really make the distinction between being rejected by love and being sort of cast out of the clan to lie on the savanna and be circled by hyenas.

You know, your body registers this as a very threatening state, like a physically threatening state. Welcome to the one you feed. Throughout time great thinkers have

recognized the importance of the thoughts we have quotes likeotes like garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think,

ring true. And yet, for many of us, our thoughts don't strengthen or empower us. We tend toward

negativity, self-pity, jealousy, or fear. We see what we

don't have instead of what we do. We think things that hold us back and dampen our

spirit. But it's not just about thinking, our actions matter. It takes

conscious, consistent, and creative effort to make a life worth living. This podcast

is about how other people keep themselves moving in the right direction, how they feed their good wolf. For decades the mafia had New York City in a stranglehold with law enforcement

seemingly powerless to intervene. It uses terror to extort people. But the murder of Carmichaelante marked the beginning of the end.

It sent the message that we can prosecute these people.

Hi Florence, welcome to the show.

Hi Eric, so great to be here.

Thank you.

Yeah, it's wonderful to have you back on. We had you on, I don't know the date. It's been years at this point. We talked about your last book, which was all about nature. Your current book is called Heartbreak, a personal and Scientific Journey, and you're just such a great writer.
