Today we welcome spiritual teacher and mental health researcher Ishan Shivanand as he shares powerful wisdom from his new book The Practice of Immortality. Raised in a monastery in India, Ishan bridges ancient yogic science with modern mental health research. He reveals how practices like breathwork, mindfulness, and daily gratitude can help you overcome distractions, build resilience, and live with peace—without giving up the modern life you love. We also explore what true immortality means, why fear, competitiveness, and anger are the root causes of modern suffering, and how meditation can transform your relationship with yourself and the world.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
