BRAIN HEALTH
MENTAL MANAGEMENT
A GOOD DEATH
Let's not just fade away; let's FLOURISH as we age!
The MINDRAMP Podcasts focus on three key components that have been shown to contribute to flourishing in the later years of your life. You will find mini-series of episodes that explore each component.
1) Keeping your brain and body healthy - see The Roots of Brain Health
2) Managing your mental states - see Flourishing
3) Planning the kind of death you want to have - (coming 10/1/24))
You will also find the occasional episodes that focus social concerns that I feel have an impact on our well-being, for example "Elections."

ELECTION - Jamie Raskin Writes in Praise of President Biden
On July 6, congressman Jamie Raskin send President Biden a letter encouraging him to caucus with Democratic leaders to hear their concerns about his continuing in the campaign. On July 21, Biden decided to withdraw from the campaign and to endorse Vice-President Kamala Harris to take his place on the ticker.
Much of Raskin's letter consisted of deep raise for President Biden and his legacy. He praised Biden as "a truly great and magnificent leader." I want to share a partial reading of Raskin's letter to highlight what a brave, selfless and patriotic act Joe Biden performed in stepping down from his position of ultimate power. Further, I want to use Raskin's eloquent words to hold Biden's presidency up as a model of kind of character we want in a president of the United States.
