Episode Description
Kathryn interviews UPenn Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center Co-Director Robert Meyer, author of “The Ostrich Paradox: Why We Underprepare for Disasters”. History has shown that we consistently fail to heed the warnings and protect ourselves against catastrophes, despite having access to unprecedented amounts of information to help us. Meyer explores why our cognitive systems perform so poorly when dealing with these events — from the individual to the larger communities and policy makers. Kathryn also interviews Adele Paula Royce, author of “The Little Black Book of Suicide Notes”. What could make a person feel that they can no longer go on living? Royce presents a semi-fictional look inside the mind and heart of a tortured soul on the verge of ending her own life. Through this raw and authentic tale, Royce shines a unique light on the human experience, leaving the reader more inspired to live life to the fullest and never take anything for granted.
