IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™...… Swedish journalist Johan Anderberg joins the show to talk about how he captured a rare moment in his country’s history during the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.His book, “The Herd: How Sweden Chose Its Own Path Through the Worst Pandemic in 100 Years,” explains this unique time. In it, he gives a fly-on-the-wall account of the herd-immunity strategy that Sweden adopted during the first year of the pandemic. First, the government instituted no restrictions. Then, it declined to order that people wear face masks. While the rest of the world looked on with incredulity, condemnation, admiration, and even envy, Sweden stood alone in its decisions.“We have to value the fact that different countries do different things,” Johan says.Here’s what you’ll learn by listening:How the Swedish COVID-19 strategy veered far from what the rest of the world was doing.Why "The Swedish Experiment” has been alternately praised and held up as a cautionary tale.In what ways Sweden’s laissez-faire strategy with few restrictions worked.Differing perspectives—no judgment or right/wrong—about the actions and reactions of governments, communities and individual citizens during a medical crisis.WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

Combined, they’ve spent over nine decades searching the seas and documenting their findings. Canadian Jill Heinerth explores the underwater world as one of the greatest cave divers on the planet. She’s considered this generation’s Jacques Cousteau. She’s completed more than 7,500 dives in her career so far and dived deeper into caves than any woman in history.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™...…a legacy upgrade conversation with Paul Chek delivers the goods on how to improve your physical, emotional and mental performance. He lays out what it takes to get into your optimal state—including a higher state of consciousness. For more than 30 years, he’s used a unique, integrated approach to treatment and education. Paul gets back to basics and formulates practical systems that work to help you help yourself to get well.“I look at happiness, movement, quiet, and diet,” Paul says. “I get a holistic picture of their life because you can’t reduce a living philosophy below those four factors.”Paul's an expert in the fields of corrective and high-performance exercise kinesiology, stress management and holistic wellness. By treating the body as a whole system and finding the root cause of a problem, he’s been successful where traditional approaches have consistently failed. And he goes even further into the metaphysical realm.“The world populace due to the destruction of the environment, due to the chemicals in the environment, due to the electromagnetic pollution, due to overstimulation, due to the lack of sleep, due to the manipulation of people’s biochemistry by medical drug use, … we’re going lower and lower into our levels of consciousness, which is putting us more and more in a fight or flight state, which is making us more and more reactive.”But you can make a difference within your own life, even going into higher levels of consciousness, Paul explains.“Every human being has genius within it,” Paul says. “We can use the same technology and the same level of brain power that got us in trouble to reverse it.”This legacy episode is the full version of a 2-part episode series. Now, you can listen to the entire conversation without interruption. Paul tells it like it is—no holds barred and no BS. You’re going to learn a lot and enjoy his style!About Paul Chek: Paul founded the CHEK Institute (Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology) in 1995. He’s a certified neuromuscular therapist and clinical exercise specialist (ACE) who’s studied with experts worldwide from many disciplines.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™......you'll learn some surprising lessons sorrow and longing can teach you about creativity, connection and love. You’ll find out why longing isn’t passive—as most people think—but actually “momentum in disguise.”Author Susan Cain combines research, the stories of others, and memoir to explain how sadness can be your superpower. “Bittersweetness is the hidden source of our moon shots, masterpieces, and love stories,” she says in her newest book, “Bittersweet: "How Sorrow And Longing Make Us Whole”.Longing can improve your creativity and fuel a drive to express yourself. Longing coupled with pain can help you to connect to others and provide a common ground that enhances compassion and helps you feel less alone in your troubles. Instead of hiding or shying away from feelings like sadness and longing, Susan encourages you to embrace them as part of who you are, and part of what it means to be human. This conversation gets into:How bittersweet differs from melancholyHow Acceptance Commitment Therapy helps you manage the “bitter of life” How sadness is the ultimate bonding agentHow the concept of “winners” and “losers” changed over timeHow to live and work authentically in an environment of enforced positivityHow to embrace deep reflection and ask yourself: "What.
