Your Brain on Revenge with Oprah and James Kimmel, Jr.
Descripción del Episodio
Is revenge the root of all forms of violence? Oprah sits down with James Kimmel, Jr., a revenge and violence researcher and lecturer in the psychiatry department at the Yale University School of Medicine and the bestselling author of the eye-opening book, The Science of Revenge: Understanding the World’s Deadliest Addiction - and How to Overcome It. From bullying to school and mass shootings to terrorism and even war, James Kimmel Jr’s 20-year research argues that the root cause of all human aggression and violence in the world is the one universal human emotion: revenge. After being bullied as a teenager, James Kimmel, Jr shares the horrific moment he almost became a mass shooter himself, and why that became the catalyst for his life’s work. James Kimmel Jr shares a research study that could reveal just how prone you might be to seeking revenge. He has also created The Non-Justice System & The Miracle Court App, a 5-step scripted virtual courtroom where a person who has been wronged can play all the roles in a simulated trial - victim, defendant, judge, jury, and warden. Oprah and James Kimmel Jr also hear searing stories from the audience including a woman whose neighbor shot and killed her dog, a woman who got revenge on a boyfriend who cheated on her, a wife and mother whose intense revenge addiction landed her in the hospital. And how a mother, who lost her precious 6-year-old son to gun violence at Sandy Hook Elementary, came to forgive her son’s killer.

Cuerpo y Consciencia con Susana Gamboa
By shows
Respira, Reconecta y Recuerda ay algo que no te han dicho… y probablemente no te va a gustar escucharlo: 👉 No estás tan bien como crees. Si no puedes dormir… si te irritas fácil… si necesitas ruido constante… si te sientes "exitoso", pero en el fondo no estás en paz… Este no es otro podcast de desarrollo personal. Es una confrontación contigo mismo. En este trailer, Susana Gamboa abre una conversación incómoda pero necesaria sobre lo que realmente está pasando dentro de ti: No es tu mente. 👉 Es tu sistema nervioso. Y mientras no lo entiendas… vas a seguir reaccionando igual, aunque creas que ya trabajaste en ti. Este espacio es para quienes están listos para dejar de sobrevivir… y empezar a sentirse vivos de verdad. Respira. Quédate. Este puede ser el inicio de algo distinto.
