Episode Description
Kathryn interviews Author Joanna Faber. Building on core themes of mutual respect, Joanna Faber and Co-Author Julie King suggest thoughtful, constructive, and sympathetic alternatives to yelling or punishment. As a part of the “How To Talk” series, readers will learn communication strategies to some of the most difficult challenges of raising children including tantrums, homework hassles and sibling squabbles. With its lively combination of real-life anecdotes, entertaining cartoons, and answers to topics requested by readers, Faber offers an invaluable resource for every parent, grandparent, teacher, and anyone else who lives or works with children—coming after a year in which adults and kids alike have been through so much. Her invaluable advice is quoted in NY TImes Parenting.Kathryn also interviews Author Oliver Burkeman. As the journalist and highly popular former weekly columnist on psychology for The Guardian Oliver Burkeman points out, the average human life is a mere four thousand weeks long. The unavoidable reality is that there will never be enough time to do it all. So how do we do what needs to be done, let go of what doesn’t, and learn to find joy in the limited time we have? The accelerating pace of life leaves us impatient with experiences we might otherwise enjoy, such as time spent with a toddler, or pursuing a once-loved hobby. And we grow so obsessed with planning for an idealized future that we miss the pleasures of the only moment it ever is: this one. Burkeman’s life-changing book is a thought-provoking blend of philosophical musings and practical advice on learning to shed our self-imposed expectations—to come to accept our overflowing email inboxes, ditch our unrealistic bucket lists, and use our precious weeks to build lives of purpose and accomplishment instead. His work has appeared in The NY Times, The Wall Street Journal, Psychologies, and New Philosopher.
