Everything Everywhere Daily - Mandarins and the Chinese Imperial Exams


Subscribe to the podcast! 

https://podfollow.com/everythingeverywhere/


In the year 607, the Emperor Yang of the Sui dynasty implemented a reform whereby a series of exams would be administered throughout the empire to create a bureaucratic elite that would administer the country. 


That reform became one of the bedrocks of Chinese society, through every dynasty, for the next 1,300 years. The effects of these exams can still be felt in Chinese society today.


Learn more about the Mandarin class and the Imperial Examination system on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Battling Worker Burnout

You’ve probably heard of the “Great Resignation.” What’s the reason behind all those people quitting? A recent study by Limeade blames burnout as the top reason people are resigning. And the American Psychological Association reports burnout levels are at an all-time high.

We’re talking with two experts today, starting with Dr. Monica Johnson. She’s a clinical psychologist and the host of the “Savvy Psychologist” podcast. She’ll explain how to identify, prevent and deal with worker burnout.

You’ll also hear from someone who was impacted so much by burnout himself that he turned his experience into part of his career. James Nicholas Kinney is a global diversity and marketing executive, author and speaker. He’s helped dozens of companies as a consultant and is the chairman of “The Force,” which says it’s the first initiative bringing the world’s top brands together to solve societal problems through business.

Consider This from NPR - Is Russia About To Invade Ukraine? NATO, U.S. Promise ‘Massive Consequences’

Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the U.S. is planning "things that we have not done in the past" if Russia invades Ukraine. His comments follow days of diplomatic talks and a deadlock on resolving the crisis brewing along the Ukraine-Russia border, where Russia has massed 100,000 troops with tanks and artillery.

Blinken speaks to NPR's Mary Louise Kelly about the current tensions and this week's diplomatic efforts.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
