We're going to keep this in here, but it's not
my parenting.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Well anyway, Shop Talk number forty three is my parting
prescription for America. And it's not my parting prescription for America.
It's a surgeon general's former Surgeon General of the United
States parting prescription for America, which we'll share with you
right after these brief messages from our general sponsors. Everybody,
(01:32):
welcome back Shop Talk number forty three. On January seventh,
the US Surgeon General, doctor B. Beck Murphy published a
public letter upon leaving his post that's titled My Parting
Prescription for America. And here goes.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Just to be clear, it's we don't know if it's
faveque favec. Just like Ramaswami, you said.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Vi v I v e K. How would you say it?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I get confused now, you know if a vager amis
from me like they say it multiple.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Ways, fake vivid?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Did you know?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I should have looked it up to be you.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Know, tear and tear are spelled the same way.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah, true, Yeah, which is weird because our English language
is so bizarre.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
If you're tearing up something, if something is tearing you up,
making you cry, or is it ripping you an half?
Kind of weird.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Huh that's really deep, Bill.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I bet a guy named Vivic wrote that true. Okay.
January seventh, US Central US Surgeon General doctor v I
V E K Murphy published a you know that's weird.
It isn't v iv e k probably like Southeast Asia.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I think it's about to say in the letter there,
I think you should just.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Go because Murphy and I mean it's like Southeast Asia
meets Ireland.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Anyway, Okay, here's what he wrote, my parting prescription for America.
My father told me he never felt emptiness, that painful,
gnawing feeling that something is missing in your life until
he left his farming village in rural India. I told you, Yep,
there it is. It was a remarkable statement from a
(03:21):
man who grew up with no running water or electricity,
and whose family scarcely had enough to put food on
the table each night. But into village, people took care
of each other. They shared food, looked out for each
other's kids, and helped out in a crisis, like when
my father's mother died when he was just ten and
(03:43):
neighbors stepped in like surrogate parents. People also knew each other,
not just their names, but their stories and families, and
they chose to spend time with each other over meals, games,
and celebrations for the many festivals that dotted the calendar.
I have found myself coming back to my father's story
as I've gappled, as i've grappled with a central question
(04:07):
during my two terms as Surgeon General. What are the
deeper root causes of the pain and unhappiness I encounter
so often across our country. Answering this question is urgent
because the status quo is harming our physical and mental health,
robbing us of our optimism, and contributing to division and polarization.
(04:31):
There are well known contributors to stress and discontent, economic hardship,
worries about the future, the negative headlines that dominate our feeds.
But even when these and other issues are addressed, there's
often still something missing. After years, reflecting on the stories
I've heard, delving into scientific data, and convening researchers, I've
(04:53):
come to see that there are three essential elements that
fuel are fulfillment and well being relationships. Service and purpose.
Relationships keep us grounded and bonded to each other. Service,
from formal volunteering to informal small acts of kindness sound familiar,
(05:17):
m M yeah, you yep is about helping each other.
And purpose gives our life a sense of direction and meaning. Together,
these elements form what he calls the triad of fulfillment.
Each of these can significantly impact our physical and mental health,
reducing our risk for heart disease, depression, anxiety, and premature death.
(05:42):
They also allow us to connect with something bigger than ourselves,
a universal human need that brings us perspective and support,
and helps avoid the excessive rumination and focus on self
that often contributes to mental distress. Yet all three drivers
are fulfillment have diminished in many of our lives. One
(06:06):
third of adults and about half of young people are
struggling with loneliness. The majority of our country is not
engaged informal or informal service to each other. A majority
of young adults say they have little or no sense
of purpose or meaning in life. I'm going to say
that again. A majority greater than half of young adults
(06:30):
say they have little or no sense of purpose or
meaning in life. Man, what's it worth living? You know?
If you don't have that, all right, I'll pick it up.
Perhaps this is because so many of the messages coming
at us tell us to prioritize a different triad, the
triad of success, fame, wealth and power. While there is
(06:55):
nothing inherently wrong with these elements on their own, they
rarely bring lasting fulfillment. Young people feel like they must
constantly hustle and chase accomplishments, recognition followers on social media,
hoping it will lead them to success. Inside, many of
us are wondering, is this what life is all about?
(07:17):
We need a clear and explicit We need a clear
and explicit shift that puts relationships, service and purpose at
the heart of society and our own lives. So how
can we do this? We can take one action each
day to help someone. We can reach out to one
(07:39):
friend each day to check on them. We can be
more intentional about having conversations with friends and our children
about how we cultivate purpose, rooted and contributing to the
lives of others. As a nation, we can strengthen and
expand participation in national service programs. We can support local
(08:03):
initiatives that bring people together to build relationships and serve
both employers and schools can build a focus on relationships, service,
and purpose into the recruitment criteria and organizational culture. Finally,
we can lift stories of purpose through music, novels, books, movies,
(08:27):
and sermons, so we can see a purpose driven life
as worthy and inspiring and within our grasp.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I don't thank you forgot us podcasts same on him.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
It's true. Let me add this, he omitted one thing. Finally,
we can lift stories of purpose through music, novels, movies, books, sermons,
and podcasts, so that we can see the purpose driven
life as worthy, inspiring, and within our grasp. The profound
change we're living through isn't easy to make, but it
(09:01):
presents an opportunity to rethink how we are living our lives.
We have a choice the status quo marked by pain, disconnection,
and division, or a different path of health, happiness, and fulfillment.
Choosing the latter will require rethinking what defines success in
a good life. It will require building our lives around
(09:23):
the time tested triad of fulfillment, grounding in relationships, service,
and purpose. Like most people, I sometimes find myself worried
about whether I'm achieving enough. In those moments, I think
about the patience I cared for at the end of
their lives. I think about what they shared with me,
about what made for fulfilling life. It was never the
(09:45):
size of their bank accounts, the number of their followers,
or their list of accomplishments. It's always about people, the
people they loved, the people they served, the people whose
lives they touched in the end, when only the most
meaningful of life remain. That is what matters as I
complete my term as Surgeon General. This is my parting
(10:08):
prescription for the country. I love to remake and recenter
our lives around relationships, service and purpose. This is the
path the health, well being in fulfillment. It is what
will help us find our way home that we're from
the words of US Surgeon General doctor Vvick Murphy when
(10:33):
he published his public letter upon leaving his post, titled
My Parting Prescription for America. Y'all, are we going to
put this up on the website or something?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I mean, it'll be either a shop talk, it'll be
on the website.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Goodness I take from the middle of this. Relations Relationships
keep us grounded and bonded to each other. Service from
formal volunteering to informal small acts Oficindness is about helping
each other. And purpose gives our life a sense of
direction of meeting together. These elements form the triad of fulfillment.
(11:13):
We're going to use the term the triad of fulfillment
a lot coming up. Absolutely love that. But here's the
other thing that's interesting. This is a doctor. This is
a surgeon general, and he says each of these can
significantly impact our physical health. In other words, service, service,
(11:40):
a sense of directing and meaning, volunteering, the fulfillment of relationship,
service and purpose can significantly impact our physical health, leading
to a reduction and our risk for heart disease, depression, anxiety,
and premature death. Can consider that that our whole humanness,
(12:08):
our heart and our lungs and our stomachs and our
bodies are so connected to our mental health, to our brains,
that things like connectivity and relationships and having a sense
of purpose and service can actually improve our physical health
(12:31):
because of the state of mind that it puts us in.
This is surgeon General. This is not some idealistic fifty
six year old with a podcast trying to convince people
of this. This is the lead physician of our country.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
They actually called the position America's doctor, but I didn't
put it in there because so many people are skeptical
after the COVID environment.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
They may not have wanted to hear that.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
The dude's still a big time physical doctor. Making the connection.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Historically, I mean they call the job a marta doctor.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, it's America's doctor and his parting. Prescription is not
even something physical or medical or prescriptive. It is simply service,
finding a purpose, relationships, community and service. I can't, I can't.
I can't think of a better thing except Alex. I mean,
(13:22):
we need to call this student and get them on
the show. That would be, well, what are you gonna
do about it?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Not do it?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Why not do it? You're gonna do it? I think so.
I mean, the guy's awesome, and what he just said
is I mean, we at least he needs to know
about the show because I think he'd think maybe we're
an army of normal folks medical community. Well, I mean,
if he's right, we're actually doing something for people's physical health,
(13:49):
aren't we Sure? Why not?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
We're not? I thought you were going to it.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
We don't need to spin off an army of normal
medical people. We don't need another spin off. We got
dead people, we got mother people.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
There's another one, or normal blood donors, and we got.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
The army of normal quotes or what are those things?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Normal folks?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
