THRIVING IN TIMES OF STRUGGLE
What does it mean to flourish when the systems we depend on are under strain?
Flourish in Times of Struggle is a new podcast series for people who want to move beyond personal resilience and grapple with the deeper structures that shape our lives. In this opening episode, Michael C. Patterson introduces the series’ focus on systems, legitimacy, and collective action—and invites listeners to think together about how healthier, more democratic forms of governance might emerge.
Earlier Flourish As You Age podcasts focused more on personal change and development to promote brain health and mental management.

We struggle to prevent and treat dementia because the need for researchers to publish positive results, coupled with the urge to put profits over people, leads to fraud, corruption and quackery. We end up with bad research and misguided public policy.
This podcast is a reading of a recent article of mine for 3rd Act Magazine in which I give recent examples of fraud, corruption, and quackery that have made it harder for us to prevent and treat dementia.
