Episode Synopsis

Dr. Niobe Way is the Steinhardt Professor of Applied Psychology at NYU and the author of many books on boyhood and the crisis of connection, including the just-released Rebels With a Cause: Reimagining Boys, Ourselves, and Our Culture. In this interview, we talk about the danger of coding maturity and success as strictly masculine; why our culture values emotional hardness over emotional softness; the psychology of mass shooters; the importance of feeling heard and seen; how to listen with curiosity; the emotional wisdom of 5-year-olds; how thinking and feeling are inseparable; the questions we should be asking teenagers; and the importance of telling thick vs thin stories. •
