On episode 236, we welcome Nicole Karlis to discuss the benefits of altruism, the link between depression and feeling unimportant, the disaster effect and bounded solidarity, the myth of self-love, burnout as an indicator of poor social structures, why some people won’t accept help, how helping others aids our own mental health, altruism’s effects on the brain, co-regulation as the rule rather than the exception, and cultivating the Malama Mindset.

Nicole Karlis is a health and science journalist. Her work has been published in Salon, The New York Times, Marie Claire, and The Bold Italic. Her new book, available now, is called Your Brain on Altruism: The Power of Connection and Community during Times of Crisis.
