What AI Can’t Teach You About Feeling Human Again w/John R. Miles | EP 687
What if the most advanced intelligence on Earth isn’t artificial, but emotional?In this opening episode of the new Passion Struck series, The Irreplaceables: Rediscovering Human Worth in an Age of Acceleration, host John R. Miles explores the rarest skill of all in the age of AI: how to feel.We’re racing to make machines seem human while forgetting how to be.Through powerful storytelling and science-backed insights, John reveals how we’ve optimized ourselves into emotional flatlines—mistaking numbness for strength and speed for progress.Drawing from leading experts like Dr. Zac Seidler, Dr. Zelana Montminy, and Dr. Susan David, this episode unpacks: Why emotional awareness is the root of every good thing—love, leadership, creativity, and connection. How “high-functioning despair” is stealing purpose from millions (especially men). The neuroscience behind emotional agility—and how to build it even if you’ve been numb for years. Simple Agility Reps you can practice daily to feel human again. Why the true danger isn’t AI replacing us—but us replacing ourselves.
