I LOVE Johann Hari!! He is incredible and I have read Lost Connections! Brilliant guest! Recover well Davina!! Thinking of you and your family at this time!
After years of addiction and depression and anxiety at having come from a dysfunctional family my mind and body were sore from remembering it all. I decided to learn physics as a hobby, I got the Richard Feynman 3 vol lecture textbooks and started at vol 1...I learned in the first chapter why the wind makes a sound when it blows hard...I learned that when the orbit of a planet is measured a week apart at 2 different times of year the distance seen moved will different but the area covered will actually be the same...I learned that trees actually grow from the air and not the ground because the plant knocks the carbon in CO2 off with the energy from sunlight and uses the carbon to build its mass of the tree, which we then burn and release the sunlight energy stored in the wood, I learned there are so many amazing things beyond pain to know about this world. Studying something interesting gives you a pain free space to explore if your personal life is painful....I notices one morning instead of negative thoughts all the time I was at the window and thought how cool it was something was holding a the planets in such a definite motion whereby the area covered in the orbit by a planet will be the same at same time intervals. I then learned how they calculated the speed of light, they did it by using the law of gravity, because these moons of a planet were delayed where law of gravity predicted they knew the law was correct so the only explanation of the 8min delay in position of the moon is that it must take time for the light of the the moon to reach us and the moon os actually placed 8min ahead. From the time delay they were able to find the speed light must travel to take the 8mins to reach us, what I don't know yet is how did they calculate the speed if they just knew they time to travel but not the distance, like how did they know the distance to the moon to take that time delay and calculat speed cause I thought you need distance as well as time to calculate speed...will find that out at some point.
I know! Trees grow from the air not the ground, they only get water and some trace minerals from the earth but most of the carbon that makes the wood of the tree the tree takes from the carbon from C02 in air, not the ground. Trees literally grown from the air not ground.
Thank you for this podcast Davina, you're my hero, I'm hurting so much and I learned from this that addiction comes from pain mine would be valium and cocaine but quite complex as I suffer with crippling anxiety and panic in a daily basis, have done since about age 11/12 no reason why! Ended up spending my 15th birthday in a treatment centre for Anorexia, wrong centre done me no good at all. The only reason I ever picked up a drug is because I could not cope, secondary school was devastating for me I ended up leaving in Yr 2. I'm an intelligent woman and I often wonder how much I could have achieved otherwise DAVINA I TRULY APPRECIATE , RESPECT AND ADORE YOU. I REALLY WANT ONE OF YOUR SQUEEZY HUGS 😢❤❤❤❤❤❤
oh My good to two both just spoke to my heart I’ve had a life of many traumas and WOW just love Johan the way he explains and Davina well as always WoW thank you
People don’t want to go deep, unpack something that’s complicated or do the uncomfortable that’s necessary to deal with the areas that need airing. Religion muffles it, pills/drugs/alcohol do too….quick fixes are becoming too common.
Davina, thinking of you and your family at this time, wishing you a speedy and healthy recovery , ❤
Amen.

That’s brilliant! You can’t beat the sciences!

I so love your realness and being willing to share it with the world Davina. 🙏
Prayers for Davina!🙏

Unfortunately, after hearing the word "right" what felt like 100 times in the first five minutes I couldn't watch any more.
