In this episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles welcomes Dr. Laurie Santos, a renowned psychologist and professor at Yale University, to discuss the importance of mattering in our increasingly busy and disconnected world. Dr. Santos shares insights from her popular Yale course, "Psychology and the Good Life," and her podcast, "The Happiness Lab," exploring how social connections, intrinsic motivation, and the act of helping others can enhance our sense of belonging and overall happiness.
Link to the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/laurie-santos-on-how-to-matter-in-a-busy-world/
Key takeaways:
The Importance of Mattering: Mattering is crucial for our psychological well-being. It involves feeling valued and connected to others, which is essential for happiness.Cultural Pressures: Many students today, especially in high-pressure environments like Ivy League schools, are focused on individual achievements, leading to feelings of disconnection and anxiety.Social Connection: Happy people tend to have strong social ties. Engaging with others and helping them can significantly boost our own happiness.Technology's Role: While technology can connect us, it can also lead to disconnection. The convenience of digital communication often lacks the depth of face-to-face interactions.The Work of Happiness: Achieving happiness requires effort and intentionality. Simple acts of kindness and social engagement can enhance our sense of mattering.Connect with Dr. Laurie Santos: https://www.instagram.com/lauriesantosofficial/?hl=en

In episode 582 of the Passion Struck podcast, host John R. Miles explores the often overlooked yet crucial role that small, intentional actions and moments of presence play in maintaining strong family connections. These seemingly insignificant moments are the glue that holds families together, ensuring that each member feels seen, heard, and valued.
John dives into the subtle actions and decisions that can either bring family members closer together or gradually create distance.
Full show notes at: https://passionstruck.com/mattering-in-families-fuels-belonging-and-love/
Key takeaways:
Family mattering is essential â itâs not just about love but about feeling seen, valued, and irreplaceable within the family unit.A lack of mattering creates a hidden crisis â when family members feel invisible or unimportant, emotional distance and resentment can quietly build.Small actions have a big impact â simple, consistent gestures like listening attentively, acknowledging feelings, and offering support reinforce family bonds.Attachment styles influence family dynamics â secure attachment fosters connection, while anxious or avoidant patterns can erode the sense of mattering.Mattering is a daily practice â families grow stronger when they intentionally show each other they care, not through grand gestures but through everyday moments.Repair starts with awareness â recognizing when someone feels they donât matter is the first step to healing and building a more connected, loving family.Want to take this conversation further?

In this episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles sits down with Dr. Sam Wilkinson to explore the profound impact of human connection on our sense of meaning and purpose. Dr. Wilkinson discusses the detrimental effects of our society's increasing disconnection from real human interaction and the overemphasis on individualism that has paradoxically led to more suffering. This conversation delves into Dr. Wilkinson's personal background, particularly the pivotal role his religious upbringing and mission work have played in shaping his career and approach to his work at Yale. Tune in to uncover valuable insights on how intentionality and in-person interactions can help you become the best version of yourself.
Link to the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/samuel-wilkinson-life-is-a-test-of-good-and-evil/
Key takeaways:
Evidence suggests that evolution is not purely random; patterns in nature indicate guiding principles that shape development.The crisis of meaning is exacerbated by technology, which has led to atomization and disconnection from face-to-face interactions.Affective forecasting shows that people often misjudge what will bring them happiness; strong relationships are key to lasting fulfillment.Family relationships are emphasized as a source of meaning and purpose in life.Micro choices and daily decisions significantly impact long-term happiness and character development.The role of marriage is highlighted as a cultural mechanism to strengthen bonds between fathers and their biological children.Connect with Dr. Sam Wilkinson: https://medicine.yale.edu/profile/samuel-wilkinson/

What if love doesnât feel uncertain because of the person youâre withâbut because you havenât fully chosen yourself? Many people settle for relationships that leave them questioning their worth. This episode explores The Mattering Mindset in Loveâthe difference between being chosen out of love versus convenience, why self-worth determines the love we accept, and how to cultivate relationships that foster security and emotional fulfillment. This conversation will shift everything if youâve ever wondered why love feels like a guessing game.
Download the Leave Behind in the full show notes at: https://passionstruck.com/the-mattering-mindset-in-love/
Key takeaways:
Love isnât about being chosen occasionallyâitâs about being valued consistently.If you have to convince someone of your worth, they are not your person.The Mattering Mindset in Love requires mutual investment, not one-sided effort.True commitment isnât about exclusivity aloneâitâs about daily actions that reinforce security and trust.If clarity scares someone away, they were never fully invested.The right partner welcomes conversations about commitment because they value you.Settling happens when you mistake trust and familiarity for real emotional security.Speak with your feetâyour actions should align with your worth, not just your desires.A great relationship makes you feel seen, heard, and valued for exactly who you are.If you wouldnât tolerate a certain level of effort from a friend, why accept it in a relationship?Want to take this conversation further?

In this episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles welcomes Edward Fishman, a former top State Department sanctions official and author of the groundbreaking book Choke Points: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare. The conversation delves into the evolving landscape of global power dynamics, where economic tools such as sanctions, export controls, and financial dominance have become the primary instruments of statecraft in the 21st century.
Fishman explains the concept of "choke points," which refers to critical areas in the global economy where one country holds significant leverage, allowing it to exert influence without military intervention. He discusses how the U.S. has pioneered the use of economic warfare, particularly in response to the rise of authoritarian regimes in Russia and China, and the implications of this shift for international relations.
The episode explores the historical context of economic warfare, the ethical dilemmas faced by policymakers, and the potential consequences of overusing economic power. Fishman emphasizes the importance of understanding these dynamics as nations navigate a fractured global economy, where the competition for resources and influence is increasingly defined by economic rather than military means.

Key takeaways:
Factors contributing to the rise of economic warfare include:The hyper-globalization of the 1990s leading to economic interdependence.Political shifts post-9/11 that made military action less appealing.The resurgence of great power competition, particularly with Russia and China.The implications of sanctions and economic tools, emphasizing their dual nature as both offensive and defensive strategies.The ethical dilemmas associated with economic warfare, particularly the humanitarian impact on civilian populations.The potential for a fractured global economy, with nations becoming isolated economic deserts due to competing economic blocks.The importance of maintaining economic security and the risks of over-reliance on economic sanctions are emphasized.The dangers of a chaotic global economy where only great powers set the terms, potentially leading to military conflicts.Connect with Edward Fishman: https://www.energypolicy.columbia.edu/edward-fishman/

What if the missing piece in your love life isnât about finding the right personâbut about how you see yourself?
In this episode of Passion Struck, John R. Miles explores the concept of mattering in loveâwhy the way you perceive your own worth directly impacts the relationships you attract and accept.
Too many people stay in relationships that leave them feeling unseen, undervalued, and emotionally drainedânot because they donât want love, but because they donât believe they truly matter.

John breaks down:
â How your self-worth dictates your relationship choices
â The danger of chasing validation instead of genuine connection
â Why so many people mistake attachment for love

đĄ Mattering in love starts with youâand when you believe you matter, the way you experience love will never be the same.
Tune in now and start making the shift toward love that truly fulfills you.

Have you ever felt that your pursuit of excellence leaves you more stressed than satisfied? What if perfectionism isnât a flaw to be fixed but a strength to be harnessed?
In episode 572, John sits down with Katherine Morgan Schafler, psychotherapist, speaker, and author of The Perfectionistâs Guide to Losing Control: A Path to Peace and Power. Katherineâs groundbreaking approach challenges everything we think we know about perfectionism, showing us that it isnât something we need to eliminateâbut rather, something we can transform into a tool for personal and professional growth.
They explore the five types of perfectionistsâClassic, Intense, Parisian, Messy, and Procrastinatorâand how understanding your type can unlock self-awareness, resilience, and healthier relationships. Katherine reveals how perfectionism intersects with belonging, self-worth, and the universal need to matter, as well as why it can be both a motivator and a barrier in our pursuit of fulfillment.

In this episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles welcomes one of the worldâs leading psychologists, Dr. Shige Oishi, to discuss his latest book, Life in Three Dimensions: How Curiosity, Exploration, and Experience Make a Fuller, Better Life. Dr. Oishi introduces the concept of psychological richness, a third dimension of well-being that goes beyond traditional notions of happiness and meaning.
Through their engaging discussion, they explore the psychological science behind what makes life truly fulfilling, how personal exploration enhances our sense of self, and why embracing novel experiencesâeven difficult onesâcan lead to fewer regrets and a more enriched life. This episode provides practical insights into how we can intentionally cultivate curiosity, challenge our perspectives, and lead a life that is both meaningful and psychologically deep.

In this episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles welcomes back Dr. Ethan Kross, a leading expert on emotions and self-regulation, to discuss his latest book, SHIFT. The conversation delves into the importance of understanding and managing our emotions, emphasizing that emotions should not be suppressed but rather harnessed as powerful tools for personal growth and resilience.
The episode explores various strategies for managing emotions, including the concept of "shifters"âsensory experiences that can alter our emotional states. Dr. Kross emphasizes the role of music, scents, and touch in modulating feelings, sharing a personal anecdote about using music to uplift his daughterâs mood before a soccer game.

Sometimes stepping away from a situation allows for better clarity and decision-making when returning to it.Sensory Shifters: Our senses can significantly influence our emotional states. Engaging with sensory experiences, such as music or scents, can help shift our emotions quickly and effectively.Cultural Influence on Emotions: Culture plays a crucial role in shaping our beliefs, values, and norms regarding emotions. Understanding the cultural context can help individuals navigate their emotional lives more intentionally.No One-Size-Fits-All Solution: There are no universal solutions for managing emotions.

In this episode of Passion Struck, John dives deep into a critical conversation about the battle for our souls and the importance of reclaiming our purpose in a world that constantly distracts us from what truly matters. John shares his personal journey of disconnection, illustrating how the relentless pursuit of success and external validation can lead us to lose sight of our authentic selves.
We explore the subtle ways we lose the fight for our soulsâthrough distractions, people-pleasing, and the fear of stepping outside our comfort zones. John emphasizes that success without meaning is merely a distraction dressed as achievement, and he challenges listeners to reflect on who they are truly living for.

The pursuit of moreâwhether it be money, status, or accoladesâoften results in dissatisfaction and a sense of emptiness.Fear and Comfort Zones: Fear of failure and the unknown can prevent individuals from pursuing what truly matters. Many remain stuck in their comfort zones, avoiding the discomfort necessary for growth.The Fight Framework: Jon introduces a five-step framework to reclaim your soul:Face the Truth: Identify your core values.Identify the Noise: Eliminate distractions that drain your energy.Grow Through Discomfort: Embrace challenges that foster growth.Harness Inner Strength: Discover your ikigai, or reason for being.Take Daily Action: Make purpose-driven choices every day.John encourages listeners to take immediate action by identifying one thing they will fight for today.
