Your Direction is a podcast dedicated to discussing the science of purpose. The essential home for evidence-informed conversation about research and cutting-edge inquiry into purpose in life.

The right conversation can be life-changing, especially when it involves learning from someone else's choices, regrets, successes, and mistakes. Unfortunately, these kinds of profound, helpful conversations are hard to come by--you're lucky if you have 2 or 3 of them as a young adult, and lots of people never even get to have a single one. Job Interviews is here to fill that void with honest, real, direct advice about school and careers from real people with real experiences. We conduct thorough, lively, funny interviews (or at least, we think they're funny :) ) with all kinds of people. We ...

How to Listen, Hear, and Validate is all about our top communication struggle - our tendency to react instead of respond, and forget that our goal is to build bridges rather than walls. You’ll learn what you’ve been doing wrong, and why your efforts at getting closer to people - in deep or light manners - have failed. You’ll learn actionable techniques and frameworks to have the most productive conversations of your life - ones that will walk away with people praising how empathetic you are.

The concept of quality is familiar. People make judgments about it every day. Yet articulating a clear definition of quality is challenging. The best companies often appear to be characterized by an ineffable something, much like that of people who seem graced by a lucky gene. For reasons that are not always evident, some do the right things with better results than average. They may not appear to be savvier acquirers, more adept marketers, or bolder pioneers, yet they integrate new businesses better, launch products more successfully, and open new markets with fewer mishaps.

Have you ever wondered why America, unlike virtually any other industrial nation, continues to show so much religious vitality? Or why are the varieties of religion found in the United States are so numerous and diverse? In this vigorous series of 24 lectures, Professor Allitt argues that the best way to look for explanations of this truly remarkable vitality and diversity is to study the nation's religious history. That's a task, though, that involves more than simply examining religion from the directions you might expect....

Notre histoire commence à Paris le 13 juillet 1793, à la prison du Temple. Marie-Antoinette, prisonnière dans sa cellule, n'est plus reine de France. La reine déchue sait qu'elle va bientôt être séparée de son enfant pour toujours. Dans quelques mois, elle sera exécutée place de la Révolution. Elle profite de ses derniers instants avec son fils Louis-Charles, devenu Louis XVII à la mort de son père Louis XVI, pour lui raconter l'histoire de sa vie.

The quest to understand the mind has motivated some of history's most profound thinkers. But only in our own time are we beginning to see the true complexity of this quest, as today's philosophers draw on the latest evidence from neuroscience, psychology, artificial intelligence, linguistics, and other fields to probe deeply into the inner workings of the mind.

Were World Wars I and II–which can now be seen as a thirty-year paroxysm of slaughter and destruction–inevitable? Were they necessary wars? Were the bloodiest and most devastating conflicts ever suffered by mankind fated by forces beyond man’s control? Or were they products of calamitous...

"Encore aujourd'hui, il m'arrive d'entendre, le soir, une voix qui m'appelle par mon prénom, dans la rue. Une voix rauque. Elle traîne un peu sur les syllabes et je la reconnais tout de suite : la voix de Louki. Je me retourne, mais il n'y a personne. Pas seulement le soir, mais au creux de ces après-midi d'été où vous ne savez plus très bien en quelle année vous êtes. Tout va recommencer comme avant. Les mêmes jours, les mêmes nuits, les mêmes lieux, les mêmes rencontres. L'Éternel Retour." Patrick Modiano

Every piece of advice in this book to increase your social standing and likability factor is 100% backed by in-depth, peer-reviewed research.

小泉八雲(ラフカディオ・ハーン)の怪談小説。死者の霊にとり憑かれた盲目の芳一を守るため、住職と納所とで芳一を裸にし、筆を以て芳一の、胸、背、頭、顔、頸、手足…、身体中どこといわず、足の裏にさえも般若心経というお経の文句を書きつけた。忘れた箇所はないのか…!?住職の言いつけどおり芳一は、縁側に坐り、迎えの霊が来ても、動きもせず、口も利かず静かに坐っていたが……。さて、うまく危険は回避することができたのか…?あまりにも有名な怪談の歴史的傑作『耳無芳一の話』をオーディオブックにしました! (C)2008青空文庫

やさしい英語で書かれた世界の名作小説を、BGMと効果音にのせてラジオドラマ仕立てでお届けします。ラフカディオ・ハーンは、日本名の小泉八雲でもおなじみです。1850年ギリシャ生まれ。両親の離婚で大叔母に引き取られ、イギリスで教育を受けます。1890年に来日し、英語の教師として赴任した島根県でセツと出会い結婚。その後、熊本、神戸、東京などを教師や記者などをしながら転々とし、数々の随筆を残して日本的情緒を世界に紹介しました。この作品はハーンの代表作の「怪談」の中の一編です。結婚後に病で亡くなったお園という主人公の亡霊が、毎晩姑の前に現れて……。

Esta obra trata - entre otras muchas cosas - de la existencia de un hombre en su pequeña habitación. La estancia insonorizada en cuyo ámbito transcurre íntegramente la acción es un microcosmos en el que aparece encapsulado un destino humano singular, que es a la vez el de un instrumento y el de su intérprete.

Bien moins connue que "Le Parfum", cette autre œuvre de Patrick Süskind nous raconte le plongeon vers la solitude et la folie d'un contrebassiste. Instrument imposant et puissant, il est selon le musicien essentiel à tout orchestre digne de ce nom. Il nous décrit avec passion les liens qui les unissent, humanisant à l'extrême l'objet musical de son désir. Mais on découvre au fil du spectacle que derrière cette fascination absolue, se cache une haine à l'encontre de cette contrebasse, encombrante et envahissante, car bientôt l'éloge pompeux laisse affleurer les frustrations et les rancœurs du musicien et de l'homme.

"Et parmi toutes ces pages blanches et vides, je ne pouvais détacher les yeux de la phrase qui chaque fois me surprenait quand je feuilletais l’agenda : "Si j’avais su..." On aurait dit une voix qui rompait le silence, quelqu’un qui aurait voulu vous faire une confidence, mais y avait renoncé ou n’en avait pas eu le temps."
