单集简介 ...

Crafting. Motorcycle repair. Banjo lessons. Hobbies aren’t a reward, but tools to save your mental and physical health. Journalist/author of “The Connection Cure,” — and professional Salugenology expert — Julia Hotz explains the science behind going outside, rediscovering what makes you happy, scheduling time for hobbies if you have no time for hobbies, free support, how quarantine affected mental health, what if social interaction gives you the willies, what if depression keeps you from doing the things that lift depression, the scientific deal with cold-plunging, where to volunteer, saving money by joining knitting circle or fishing club, if protesting is a good hobby, how capitalism can literally kill us, and why she hates the title of her own book.

  • Oh, hey, it's the guy at the falafel truck who gives you extra hummus, Allie Ward.

  • So if you come to Ologies for the toads, but you stay for the science-based self-help advice.

  • This one delivers with info on how to lift your blues with some suggestions that make us healthier and calmer,

  • less anxious and more present.

  • This episode may alter the course of your life.

  • So this guest is an award-winning author and a journalist who has written for Time,

  • Wired, Scientific American, The New York Times,

  • and she spent several years interviewing doctors and patients and digging into published research for a book that has been praised by Harvard University as the best public health book of the year.

  • And it's backed by a bunch of doctors who are like, yes, this.

  • And when I got a heads up on her book, The Connection Cure, The Prescriptive Power of Movement,

  • Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging, I was like, is this bullshit?

  • And then I looked into the bibliography and I wanted to chat with her for selfish reasons

  • because it ripped.

  • I was like, this is great.

  • So I figured you might want to hear it too.

  • And hence, an episode was very much in order.

  • Actually, two episodes.

  • So part one and two, because...

  • This interview itself is almost two hours long.

  • It's worth two installments, trust me.
