5. Invisibilia. Invisibilia – Latin for invisible things – is an exploration of the “unseeable forces” that shape human behavior – our beliefs, thoughts, and assumptions. Hosts Alix Spiegel and Hanna Rosin, both of National Public Radio, seamlessly weave storytelling, interviewing, and scientific data to tackle a wide range of topics such as prejudice and implicit bias in “The Culture Inside” to people’s desire for radical change in “Bubble Hopping.” Part behavioral economics, part neuroscience, part sociology, part pop culture, fully fascinating.

6. Jocko Podcast. Jocko Willink, a retired Navy SEAL and motivational author and speaker, along with Echo Charles, conduct compelling interviews with leaders from various fields including the military, sports, medicine, and the arts. Mr. Willink’s style of motivation is refreshingly honest and direct. I have taken tips from his podcasts that have helped me become a more efficient and energetic physician and leader. Two fundamental themes that run through his podcast are the value of treating people well and of living your life with discipline. It gets you a long way as a Navy SEAL, as well as a doctor. One of my personal favorites is Episode 69: “The Real Top Gun. Battlefield, Work, and Life are Identical” with Elite Marine Fighter Pilot, David Berke. If that doesn’t pique your interest, no worries; there are over 100 episodes from which to choose.

There are many, many more podcasts I’d like to recommend, but I’ll show some discipline (thanks, Jocko) and save them for next time.
