    ➡️ Like The Podcast? Leave A Rating: https://ratethispodcast.com/successstory   In this "Lessons" episode, Gretchen Rubin, New York Times bestselling author of The Four Tendencies and The Happiness Project, explains how understanding personality tendencies can reveal why people approach expectations, habits, and motivation so differently. She breaks down the four tendencies—Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, and Rebel—and explores how each comes with its own strengths and challenges. Gretchen also explains why self-awareness is more useful than trying to change your natural tendencies, how to build systems that work with the way you are wired, and why external accountability can be especially powerful for some people.

    Lessons - Why Your Doctor Doesn't Have Time to Actually Help You | Brian L. Strom - Fmr Rutgers Chancellor & Public Health Researcher

    ➡️ Like The Podcast? Leave A Rating: https://ratethispodcast.com/successstory   In this "Lessons" episode, Brian L. Strom, former Rutgers Chancellor and public health researcher, examines why trust in healthcare has declined as medicine has become increasingly corporate and transactional. Drawing on his experience as a physician and healthcare leader, he explains how financial incentives can prioritize treatment over prevention, why doctors have less time to build meaningful relationships with patients, and how better use of nurses, physician assistants, and other healthcare professionals could improve care. Brian also explores the shift from fee-for-service medicine toward population-based healthcare and why aligning incentives around keeping people healthy could transform the way healthcare is delivered. ➡️ Show Links https://successstorypodcast.com   YouTube: https://youtu.be/WXyPr134OBs  Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brian-l-strom-chancellor-of-rutgers-biomedical/id1484783544  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0OEa0RJvLDvOmIj72bxlhJ  ➡️ Watch the Podcast on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary
