In this show, Dr. Orloff shares how she applies empathy in her medical practice, and how others may utilize their own unique empathic gift for the benefit of themselves and the world. Kelly and Dr. Orloff also discuss the qualities and characteristics of empathic people, and why it’s important to know if you or someone you love is an empath.

Dr. Christine Carter, sociologist and senior fellow at UC-Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center, discusses how by doing less we can accomplish more. Being busy is a sign that we are not fulfilling our potential but makes us feel significant and important. Dr. Carter asserts that one of our biggest mistaken beliefs is that busyness is a sign of productivity and explains how we can escape cognitive overload. Busyness is a sign that we are overwhelmed. We are less efficient and the quality of our work drops when we are busy multitasking. Dr. Carter discusses how our brain cycles and how we can optimize our personal brainwave rhythms to become more productive, fulfilled and happy.

Do you control knowledge or does knowledge control you? Don Miguel Ruiz, Jr. is a Toltec Master of Transformation and the son of Don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements discusses how we have unwittingly made agreements about how we choose to live our lives and that these agreements are actually attachments -- limiting filters on who we think we are. According to Ruiz, "When we believe in something so strongly that we lose awareness of our authentic self within the stories and comments of our internal narrators, we are allowing our preconceptions to make decisions for us. Therefore, it is important to be aware of where we are on the scale of attachment with any particular belief. With awareness we can regain the power to make our own decisions." He explains that our attachments can be divided into five levels -- The Authentic Self, Preference, Identity, Internalization, and Fanaticism and discusses how we can re-evaluate these potentially harmful attachments.

The Five Levels of Attachment
