My book “HUMOR ME: How Laughing More Can Make You Present, Creative, Connected, and Happy” is out now!

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Want to be healthy? Initiate conversation, let curiosity drive it, ask follow-up questions, and don't be fragile if people are not interested in talking to you.

My brother @arielemanuel always introduces himself in elevators, and that is what everyone should do. Social interaction can go a long way in improving health and wellbeing.

Listen to more about the value of social interaction in my conversation with @chrisiduffy on the @ted ”How to Be a Better Human” podcast at the link in bio.

What are three health myths or health practices that I think are misinformed?

Obsessing over protein. Ignoring social interaction. Thinking more exercise is better.

Americans focus too much of their time on the wrong things to prioritize wellness. Most people probably get enough protein. Peter Attia ignores how having meaningful social relationships is integral to longevity. Overexercising can lead to injury.

On October 3, 2026, at the Broad Stage in Santa Monica, we invited screenwriters, filmmakers, and storytellers to join us in defining intelligence. After all, if a slime mold can navigate a maze, an octopus can think with its arms, and a silicon chip can reason, what exactly is intelligence? And what do we owe to the minds we share a planet with?

The part I’m happiest about is the one you can’t fully program: when the talks ended, nobody left. After the talks ended, the night kept going with music, drinks, and good conversation.

Big Think’s mission is to help people get smarter, faster, and a room full of curious people from different fields, arguing about elephants and chatbots over a drink, is still one of the better ways we’ve found to do it.

Thank you to the John Templeton Foundation for trusting us with the launch of Templeton Futures, to our speakers, and to everyone who joined us.

POV: your therapist gives you a podcast prescription instead of homework. 🎧🧠

These are the 6 I’d put on your “between sessions” list.

Speech recognition has come a long way. Until it meets a toddler.

Children don’t always use complete words - or anything resembling them. Yet somehow, parents know exactly what they mean. They can translate the gibberish, understand the context and often anticipate the request before a word is even spoken.

In the first film from The Parent Launch - an initiative that borrows the language of smart-assistant marketing to reframe everyday parenting as the intelligence it already is - award-winning comedian, television writer and podcast host @chrisiduffy introduces the most advanced speech-recognition system of all: DAD.

𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵, 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵, 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘵 𝘛𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨.

Watch the film and meet The OG Assistant (and Way More).

If it made you smile - or feel seen - share it with a parent who deserves the same recognition❤️.

Hooters: The Movie is officially in the works!

For some reason we can’t yet fathom, the original founders of Hooters are independently producing a movie about how the restaurant chain was created. Do you think it will be so bad it’s good, or just bad?
