• Self-Compassion in Uncertain Times | Randall Birnberg | TEDxRWTHAachen

    Randall talks about how self compassion and positive thinking can help us deal with our past. He shares the steps to self compassion and the habits that can make you more compassionate.

    For over 30 years, Randall Birnberg, an American educator and psychologist, has been helping to develop the human potential that lies within each individual. Whether it was the Native Americans "on the rez" of New Mexico or Italian street children in Rome, he always provided the crucial psychological tools to work on individual consciousness and self-compassion.

    Twenty four years ago, he brought his knowledge and experience to Europe. In university lectures, seminars and coaching, he "taught" doctoral students, teachers, employees of international companies … as well as private individuals throughout Europe. As a happiness researcher at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, Randall works within the relatively new science of happiness, also known as "Positive Psychology".

    Positive Psychology deals with human emotions, strengths, relationships, the meaning of life and our achievements. Ultimately, through our well-being & happiness, we become more resilient and more able to withstand uncertain times as we our experiencing today. Randall's current passion is to help Ukrainian refugees living in Germany to integrate into the German culture i.e., by teaching self-compassion techniques, resilience and love-kindness meditations.

    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

  • Why More And More Colleges Are Closing Down Across America

    The mid-2010's saw an uptick in U.S. college closures—particularly in the private nonprofit space.
    Since 2016, 91 U.S. private colleges have either closed, merged with another school, or announced plans to close according to a CNBC analysis of data from Higher Ed Dive. This trend is affecting tens of thousands of college students across the country, with almost half of those schools closing after the onset of the pandemic in 2020. For many struggling schools the pandemic was the final straw—but two major themes showed up consistently throughout the closures: finances and enrollment.

    "There are two significant issues affecting higher education right now," said The Princeton Review's Editor-in-Chief Robert Franek. "Specifically, through the admission and enrollment offices. Number one, it is the admission cliff, and that is the impending decline. We'll be graduating our lowest high school classes by population in 2025. And most enrollment professionals have been wringing their hands about this date of 2025, but many schools have seen those enrollment declines already."
    About 95% of U.S. colleges rely on tuition, according to Franek, meaning they rely on money from students to operate. Dwindling enrollment numbers mean less money, fewer student offerings, and eventually a shuttered institution.

    "It's a reflection of, I think, an unsustainable operating platform, meaning a heavy reliance on tuition, which can't always keep up with inflation," said Fitch Ratings Senior Director Emily Wadhwani.

    "It can't always keep up with erosion in enrollment. We can't keep hiking tuition sticker price in the hopes that the net residual once you account for scholarship and discounting and the like is gonna be enough to sort of offset your growing expense base."

  • Is it normal to talk to yourself?

    Dig into the psychological benefits of positive self-talk, and find out when it can become problematic.

    --

    Being caught talking to yourself can feel embarrassing, and some people even stigmatize this behavior as a sign of mental instability. But decades of research show that talking to yourself is completely normal; most if not all of us engage in some form of self-talk every day. So why do we talk to ourselves? And does what we say matter? Dig into the psychological benefits of positive self-talk.

  • Congratulations Graduates!

    It’s graduation season – and I know so many of us are thinking of the graduating students we know, and the sense of accomplishment, excitement, and nervousness they’re feeling right now.

    Every May, I think back to MY time as a student at the University of Arkansas. I’ll never forget sitting in the back row of Dr. Jonathan L. Johnson's Business Strategy class, ­soaking up the knowledge and insights he had to offer. Although apparently not ALL of it, since I got a ‘B’ in the class!

    Dr. Johnson and I are friends to this day, even though we still like to give each other a hard time about that ‘B.’ He joined me for this episode of The Huddle, and brought three of his most outstanding students – Sophia, Laurel, and Ali – who are all graduating with their MBAs this month. We talked about their experiences, their career goals and how they hope to apply the skills they've learned in class in the “real world.” We even had a little fun giving them a chance to take over The Huddle and ask me some questions.

    If you’re an upcoming graduate or navigating the next steps in your own career, this episode is for you. And to all the graduates out there – congratulations! I’m rooting for you, and can’t wait to see the positive impact you’ll make in the world.

    Save Money. Live Better.

  • Why don’t we cover the desert with solar panels? - Dan Kwartler

    Explore what would happen if we covered the Sahara Desert in solar panels, and the possibility of it solving our energy crisis.

    --

    Stretching over roughly nine million square kilometers and with sands reaching temperatures of up to 80° Celsius, the Sahara Desert receives about 22 million terawatt hours of energy from the Sun every year. That’s well over 100 times more energy than humanity consumes annually. So, could covering the desert with solar panels solve our energy problems? Dan Kwartler digs into the possibility.

    Lesson by Dan Kwartler, directed by Christoph Sarow, AIM Creative Studios.

  • Explore the psychology of the phenomenon known as cute aggression, which is the urge to squeeze, bite or pinch something cute.

    --

    Watching a kitten fumbling around, it might feel as if you’ve never encountered anything so devastatingly adorable in your mortal life. You may want to pet its soft fur and kiss its tiny head. But you may also feel the conflicting urge… to squeeze or smush the kitten, maybe even stuff it in your mouth. What is this peculiar phenomenon? Joshua Paul Dale explores the urge known as cute aggression.

    Lesson by Joshua Paul Dale, directed by Oksana Kurmaz.
