    How Eyeglasses Changed the World & The Art of Effective Complaining

    If you’re a coffee drinker, you’ve probably wondered at some point whether you’re drinking too much. Coffee gets blamed for everything from poor sleep to heart trouble — but a major long-term study tells a very different story. This episode begins with findings that may surprise (and reassure) coffee lovers. https://www.bmj.com/content/359/bmj.j5024 Eyeglasses are so common today that it’s easy to forget how revolutionary they are. Before glasses, millions of people were cut off from reading, learning, working, and fully participating in society. The invention of eyeglasses didn’t just improve vision — it reshaped education, labor, science, and culture. David King Dunaway joins me to tell this surprisingly underappreciated story. He’s a professor of English at the University of New Mexico and the University of São Paulo, and author of A Four-Eyed World: How Glasses Changed the Way We See (https://amzn.to/46nqL9y). David’s website is here: https://afoureyedworld.com/ Most people avoid complaining — it feels awkward, time-consuming, or not worth the effort. But when you don’t complain, you often end up paying for mistakes that aren’t yours. When done the right way, complaining can be effective, respectful, and surprisingly rewarding. Eric Zse explains when to speak up, what to say, and how to get results without being rude or angry. He’s author of The Art of the Constructive Complaint: How to Speak Up, Get Heard, and Turn Everyday Frustrations into Fair Outcomes (https://amzn.to/45Sdi9L). And finally — have you ever walked into another room and instantly forgotten why you went there? It happens to almost everyone, and it has a name: the doorway effect. We wrap up with the fascinating reason this happens — and why it has nothing to do with memory loss or aging.

    Bonus: SYSK TRENDING - How Stress Distorts Your Thinking

    Everyone seems more stressed than ever — and oddly, some people even wear it like a badge of honor. But chronic stress isn’t something to brag about. It quietly alters the way you think. It amplifies worry, exaggerates threats, narrows your options, and makes worst-case scenarios feel not just possible, but probable. Over time, stress doesn’t just affect your mood — it reshapes your perception, your judgment, and the decisions you make. And because the shift happens gradually, you often don’t realize it’s happening at all. Clinical psychologist Arthur Ciaramicoli has spent decades studying stress and its impact on the brain and behavior. In this conversation, he explains what’s actually happening neurologically when stress rises — how your brain shifts into a more reactive mode, why you become more negative and less flexible in your thinking, and how chronic stress can trap you in a self-reinforcing loop. We also explore why modern life seems perfectly designed to keep stress levels elevated and why simply “relaxing” isn’t a realistic solution. Most importantly, Arthur shares practical, science-based strategies to interrupt the cycle — techniques you can use in the moment to calm your nervous system, widen your perspective, and prevent stress from distorting your thinking. If you’ve ever made a decision under pressure and later wondered, “What was I thinking?” — this episode will help you understand exactly what was happening and how to prevent it next time. Arthur is the author of The Stress Solution (https://amzn.to/3yQgt22). PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS QUINCE: Refresh your wardrobe with Quince!

    Street Smarts That Keep You Safe & The Science of Great Ideas

    When a big storm is on the way, it happens like clockwork: empty shelves, frantic shoppers, and a sudden shortage of eggs, bread, and milk. Why do people panic-buy the same items every time? And how much do you actually need if you’re stuck at home for a few days? This episode begins with the psychology behind panic shopping — and why otherwise rational people behave this way. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/happy-trails/201601/panic-shopping-the-psychology-of-the-bread-milk-eggs-rush Most of us don’t think of ourselves as vulnerable. We assume danger happens to other people — until it doesn’t. In reality, small, everyday behaviors can quietly increase or reduce your personal safety. The way you speak, move, and pay attention sends signals you may not even realize you’re broadcasting. Dannah Eve joins me to explain how street smarts really work and how to protect yourself using simple, practical awareness. She’s a personal safety educator and author of Street Smarts: Trust Your Instincts, Outsmart Danger, and Stay Safe in a World That Isn’t. (https://amzn.to/4roXfs8). Here is the link to her Instagram posts: https://www.instagram.com/dannah_eve/ We love the idea of the sudden “aha” moment — the brilliant flash of inspiration that changes everything. But that’s rarely how great ideas actually happen. Most breakthroughs are the result of borrowing, refining, recombining, and sometimes stumbling onto something unexpected. George Newman explains what science reveals about where ideas come from and how you can increase your odds of having a great one. He’s an associate professor at the Rotman School of Management and author of How Great Ideas Happen: The Hidden Steps Behind Breakthrough Success. (https://amzn.to/4ab4L2J).

    The Secrets Twins Share & Subtle Money Mistakes to Avoid

    Are women really attracted to men who can make them laugh? And if so, why does humor matter so much in attraction? This episode begins with what research and relationship experts say about laughter, mating, and why being funny can be a powerful social signal. https://amzn.to/496hAtL We’ve always been fascinated by twins. They seem mysterious, almost magical — as if they share a special connection the rest of us don’t. But do twins really experience the world differently, or are we projecting myths onto them? Helena de Bres joins me to unpack the truths, misconceptions, and lived reality of being a twin. She’s a professor of philosophy at Wellesley College and author of How to Be Multiple: The Philosophy of Twins (https://amzn.to/3HCmH8E). Most financial advice sounds the same: save more, spend less, invest wisely. But some of the most effective money guidance runs counter to what we usually hear. Vivian Tu shares a fresh, practical perspective on money, habits, and mindset — including mistakes people make without realizing it. Vivian made her first million by age 27, is CEO and founder of Your Rich BFF Media, and author of Rich AF: The Winning Money Mindset That Will Change Your Life (https://amzn.to/42oltaH). And finally, one of life’s small but frequent frustrations: you grab a pen, there’s ink inside — and it won’t write. Most of the time, the pen isn’t dead; it’s just stuck. We wrap up with a few simple, surprisingly effective tricks to get a ballpoint pen working again. https://www.penheaven.com/blog/revive-a-dead-ballpoint-pen PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS QUINCE: Refresh your wardrobe with Quince!

    How to Find True Love & Why Some People Pursue Impossible Goals

    Ask frequent flyers what bothers them most about air travel and you might be surprised by the answer. It’s not turbulence, cramped seats, or bad food — it’s the other passengers. This episode begins by revealing which behaviors irritate fellow travelers the most and what people wish would stop happening at 35,000 feet. https://pro.morningconsult.com/analysis/airplane-etiquette-annoying-behaviors What brings two people together romantically has always been a mystery — and today, it’s more complicated than ever. Dating apps offer endless options, yet many people struggle to find meaningful connection. What actually predicts long-term attraction? What matters less than we think? And what do science and history tell us about love, choice, and compatibility? Paul Eastwick joins me to explain how attraction really works. He’s a professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, director of the Attraction and Relationships Research Laboratory, and author of Bonded by Evolution: The New Science of Love and Connection (https://amzn.to/49RrGS0) Most people pursue goals with a clear payoff — something they hope and expect to achieve. But some people dedicate their lives to goals they know will never happen. Why would anyone do that? What sustains them? And what do these impossible pursuits reveal about meaning, purpose, and fulfillment? Journalist Mark Medley shares remarkable stories of people chasing futures they’ll never live to see. He’s author of Live to See the Day: Impossible Goals, Unimaginable Futures, and the Pursuit of Things That May Never Be (https://amzn.to/46fV95J). And finally, think about all the surfaces your phone touches — tables, counters, public spaces. Then think about where that phone goes when it rings – your face. We wrap up with what science says about phones, germs, and what that means for your skin and health.https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/beauty/how-smartphones-damage-your-skin-5-ways-to-protect-against-blue-light-and-bacteria/articleshow/124968775.cms PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS QUINCE: Refresh your wardrobe with Quince!

    The Science of Sleeping, Breathing, and Hydration

    Why would anyone need to be taught how to sleep, breathe, or drink water? Those are things you already do every day. And yet, it turns out most of us are doing them just wrong enough to undermine our health. In this SYSK Trending episode, I talk with Michael Breus, one of the world’s leading sleep experts, about how small adjustments to when and how you sleep, breathe, and hydrate can produce outsized benefits for your energy, immunity, metabolism, and long-term health. Dr. Breus is a double-board-certified clinical psychologist and sleep specialist, and the author of Sleep Drink Breathe: Simple Daily Habits for Profound Long-Term Health (https://amzn.to/3ZposzW). His research shows that better health doesn’t always require doing more—it often comes from doing the basics correctly. This is simple advice, but it’s powerful—and it may change how you think about your daily habits.

    The Automatic Path to Wealth & How to Beat Self-Doubt

    We’ve all heard the “rules” about sleep — you need exactly eight hours, falling asleep in front of the TV is bad, and you can make up for lost sleep on the weekend. But how much of that is actually true? This episode begins by separating sleep myths from sleep reality — and the answers may surprise you. https://www.thehealthy.com/sleep/sleep-facts-myths/ When it comes to building wealth, complexity is often the enemy. Many financial experts agree that the simplest strategy — saving automatically before you ever see the money — is also one of the most powerful. But how does it work in practice? How quickly does it add up? And why does automation matter so much? David Bach joins me to explain why this approach has helped millions of people grow wealth quietly and consistently. David is author of ten best-selling books, including The Automatic Millionaire (https://amzn.to/4rjqoow), recently expanded and updated. Self-doubt has a sneaky way of holding us back. It shows up right when opportunities appear, making us hesitate, second-guess, or play it safe — even when we know what we want. Where does that inner voice come from, and how do you turn it down without pretending it doesn’t exist? Shadé Zahrai offers insight into how self-doubt forms and how to build real confidence that lasts. She’s a behavioral researcher, award-winning peak-performance educator, and author of Big Trust: Rewire Self-Doubt, Find Your Confidence (https://amzn.to/49VY9GV). And finally, no matter how bug-free you think your home is, you’re not alone in it. A surprising number of tiny creatures live alongside us — and in many cases, that’s actually a good thing. We wrap up with who these unseen roommates are and why they’re part of a healthy home ecosystem. https://www.ipm.org/show/amomentofscience/2023-03-28/arthropods-in-your-house PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS QUINCE: Refresh your wardrobe with Quince!
