Welcome to another episode of [The Tim Ferriss Show] (http://tim.blog/podcast?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=monthly-recap) , where it is my job to deconstruct world-class performers to tease out the routines, habits, et cetera that you can apply to your own life. This is a special inbetweenisode, which serves as a recap of the episodes from last month.It features a short clip from each conversation in one place so you can easily jump around to get a feel for the episode and guest. Based on your feedback, this format has been tweaked and improved since the first recap episode. For instance, listeners suggested that the bios for each guest can slow the momentum, so we moved all the bios to the end. See it as a teaser. Something to whet your appetite.

#769: Q&A with Tim — Reinvention, Visualization Techniques, Making “Risky” Decisions, Parenting Cons...

This past April was the podcast’s 10-year anniversary, and the platform [River] (https://getriver.io) helped listeners organize parties around the world in more than 180 cities! More than 4,000 people RSVP’d. I was able to join about 40 cities via Zoom for quick hellos and drinks (huge thanks to Rae and Ana for the quarterbacking), and I had a blast dropping in on the Paris meetup in person. Thanks to everyone who gathered for wine, celebration, and meeting like-minded people! After all the parties, and as a thank you for their hard work, I invited all of the hosts to a private Q&A. And that’s what you’re about to hear.

#768: What Happens When Israelis and Palestinians Drink Ayahuasca Together?

Welcome to another episode of [The Tim Ferriss Show] (http://tim.blog/podcast) .For this episode, I’m doing something different. I’m featuring a very special episode from a brand-new podcast called [Altered States] (https://psychedelics.berkeley.edu/altered-states-podcast/) . Here’s the teaser for the episode you’re about to hear: “For the last couple of years, producer Shaina Shealy has been following Israeli and Palestinian peace activists who have been coming together to drink the psychedelic brew ayahuasca in an effort to heal their collective intergenerational trauma. It seemed to be helping them when suddenly the region erupts into chaos and violence.” Shaina Shealy was a fellow from the [Ferriss-UC Berkeley Psychedelic Journalism Fellowship] (https://fellowships.journalism.berkeley.edu/bcsp/) , which offers ten $10,000 reporting grants per year to journalists reporting in-depth print and audio stories on the science, policy, business and culture of this new era of psychedelics. The fellowship is supported by my foundation, the [Saisei Foundation] (https://saiseifoundation.org/) , and made possible in collaboration with Michael Pollan, Malia Wollan, and others at UC Berkeley. Altered States looks at how people are taking psychedelics, who has access to them, how they're regulated, who stands to profit, and what these substances might offer us as individuals and as a society. [00:00] An intro to the Altered States podcast and its mission. [00:02:24] Shaina Shealy explains what ayahuasca is and how it affects the human brain. [00:03:47] Palestinian Sami Awad’s peace activism and ayahuasca journey. [00:17:18] Dr. Rachel Yehuda and the science of intergenerational trauma. [00:19:27] How the Israeli-Palestinian ayahuasca experiment came about. [00:25:47] Participants share their experiences. [00:38:35] How the violent events of October 7th affected the participants and the project. [00:45:52] Reflections on the experiment’s effectiveness and participants’ continued commitment to peace. [00:50:29] Closing credits.
