Brain Balance, a leading drug-free brain training program designed to help adults and kids improve focus, behavior, social skills, cognitive performance, health, safety, and emotional well-being, offers a complimentary kindness webinar. When we think about being kind or unkind, we tend to focus on the impact we have on others. While this is vitally important, it’s also key to know how being kind or unkind impacts our own brains. Extensive research has taught scientists a great deal about what occurs in our brains when we disconnect with others by being callous and when we connect with them by being kind. It has serious implications for our brain health and overall health. Kindness is a choice that can bring us amazing health benefits, as well as benefits to others. Understanding why we might feel an impulse to be unkind, learning strategies to replace this impulse with “co-regulation,” can do wonders for our health, happiness, and high-performance. Brain Balance of Greater San Diego has three centers in Carmel Mountain Ranch (10175 Rancho Carmel Drive, Suite 124, 92128), Chula Vista (310 3rd Avenue, Suite C7, 91910), and Encinitas (165 S. El Camino Real, Suite E, 92024).

We left our last episode wondering about the costs of building a house with earth or clay materials. Turns out it's cheap! So if it's cheap? Have more people jumped on the opportunity to build this way and why hasn't it taken hold in urban settings? To answer these questions, We follow up with Miguel Angel Perez an earthbuilder from Baja, and talk about the costs of earthbuilding and chat with Rachel Formanek, a New Yorker who moved from California to Baja to find better and affordable living conditions. Lastly, we sit down with Alex Ruiz, director of urban planning in Tecate, and ask for his take on the viability of earth building in city settings.
