episode JOYCE CAROL OATES: reflections on life and art artwork
JOYCE CAROL OATES: reflections on life and art

In this final episode of the first season of Lives Well Lived, Peter & Kasia interview acclaimed author Joyce Carol Oates about her prolific career and perspectives on writing and life. Joyce Carol Oates was born during the Depression in Lockport, New York. Oates published her first book in 1963 as a teen, and has since published 58 novels, many of them portraying the darkness of American society. Her writing has earned her virtually every major American literary prize, and she has been a finalist for the Pulitzer for Fiction five times.  Joyce, a longtime Princeton professor and writer, discusses the complexity of self-identity, and the nature of a well-lived life. She presents a unique view and challenges the core themes of this podcast, noting her focus on literary output over emotional introspection. Joyce expresses her belief in prioritising the work over personal fame and outlines her perspective on philosophical questions about the self. In the second half of this episode, Peter & Kasia reflect on the recurrent themes that have arisen from our guests over this first season.

Lisa Feldman Barrett, PhD, is among the top 0.1% most cited scientists in the world for her revolutionary research in psychology and neuroscience. She is a University Distinguished Professor of Psychology at Northeastern University. She also holds appointments at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, where she is Chief Science Officer for the Center for Law, Brain & Behaviour. In addition to academic work, Barrett has written two science books for the public, How Emotions are Made and Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain. This episode begins with Lisa talking about how the brain's processes can help overcome anxiety related to public speaking, and how sensations interpreted as anxiety can be redefined as determination or arousal through cognitive reframing.

SAM HARRIS: the illusion of consciousness and free will

Sam Harris is an American philosopher, neuroscientist, author, and host of Making Sense. Peter and Kasia are in-conversation with Sam on spirituality, consciousness, ethical living, and the fear of death.

The dialogue covers the contrasts between psychedelic experiences and meditation, the illusion of self, and the ethical implications of free will. Sam touches on modern ethical issues like lying, vegetarianism, and effective altruism. Ultimately this episode emphasises appreciating the present and making thoughtful philosophical adjustments to lead a fulfilling life.

PAUL BLOOM: the role of reason in moral judgements

Paul Bloom is Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto, and Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Yale University. Paul Bloom studies how children and adults make sense of the world. Paul Bloom delves into the intricacies of morality, debates the importance of reason over emotion in making moral decisions, and argues for the power of reason to help distinguish between rational and irrational reactions.
