12:00-12:20 Frankie welcomes Steven Baum author of “The Psychology of Genocide: Perpetrators, Bystanders, and Rescuers.” In the last century, 262 million people have been victims of genocide, with Jews, Armenians, Cambodians, Darfurians, Kosovons and Rwandans among them. The horrors of genocide are more poignant as patterns emerge. There are those who commit brutal acts, there are those who resist genocide and help victims, and there are those who position themselves in the middle, taking neither side. Baum reveals what patterns of personality and psychology emerge during wartime that give rise to these conditions. He Also examines the complex relationship between social and personal knowledge, and how people conflate stereotype with personal experience. Baum presents a new understanding of identity and emotional development during genocide, showing that behavior during genocide mirrors behavior in everyday life.

The alarm clock sounds and you instantly hit the snooze button—exhausted and dreading the second ring. The day starts with a rushed bagel, a doughnut, or sometimes just a swig of coffee and an “energy bar.” Bolstered with caffeine, carbs, and sugar (or sometimes on an empty stomach), the daily scramble begins at a frantic pace and doesn’t let up. Amidst the barrage of urgent messages, bills, children’s schoolwork, and errands, you find yourself too overwhelmed to take pleasure in your family and friends—and far too drained to make it to the gym or even prepare a healthy dinner. You just feel SPENT. SPENT is the complete guide to rediscovering the natural rhythms that help our bodies restore, revive, and replenish.
