Dr. Martha Beck is here to discuss how anxiety is fueled by the brain's negativity bias and offer creativity as a way to break the anxiety cycle. She distinguishes between anxiety (ongoing worry) and fear (a survival response), suggesting techniques like deep breathing and self-compassion to manage anxiety. She also emphasizes limiting exposure to negative media and the importance of purpose and creativity in reducing stress. Lastly, she highlights the gut-brain connection in managing anxiety.

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.
