    What the Internet Has Made Obsolete & Cool Health Care Hacks

    When you are on the phone in a noisy environment, you probably cover your other ear to hear the phone better. Bad idea. This episode reveals a better way to help you hear someone in that situation. https://www.oklahoman.com/article/3206007/strange-but-true-improve-clarity-of-phone-calls It’s hard to imagine life without the Internet today – still we have lost a lot of things to the Internet. Maps, handwritten letters, the big thick rolodex, even our solitude has disappeared and given way to the digital age. Listen as my guest Pamela Paul reveals many of the ways the Internet has changed our lives and how we spend our time – some good, some not so good. Pamela is editor of The New York Times Book Review, host of their Book Review podcast and author of the book, 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet (https://amzn.to/3ob6M7m). I am sure you have experienced some medical symptoms and then looked them up online to better understand and perhaps diagnose and treat whatever was wrong. After all there is a lot of helpful health information online that could be useful to you. However, HOW you use that information is really important according to cardiologist Dr. Kapil Parakh author of the book Searching for Health: The Smart Way to Find Information Online (https://amzn.to/3CORNVP). Listen as he offers some great strategies to help you better use the online resources to help you stay healthy. Your ability to remember someone’s name when you meet them can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. In other words, if you think you are good with names, you probably are. Your belief plus a few other simple strategies can make you much better at remembering names. Listen and I’ll tell you what they are. Source: Scott Hagwood author of Memory Power (https://amzn.to/3H8xBl3). PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

    How to Happily Overcome Clutter & Why Pop Culture is so Valuable - SYSK Choice

    When you shop for big ticket items like a house or car, it matters what day you choose to go – and probably for reasons you hadn’t thought of. This episode begins with the best and worst days to house hunt or car shop. https://www.weatherads.io/blog/how-weather-affects-consumer-behavior-and-purchase-decisions Clutter can really sneak up on you. First, it’s a drawer, then a spare closet, then the extra bedroom gets filled with all sorts of stuff. By then you have a house full of clutter that can be hard to manage. Joining me with some very simple and practical advice is Tracy McCubbin. Tracy is an organizing expert and author of the book Make Space for Happiness (https://amzn.to/3Um3Eny). Listen as she reveals the harm clutter can cause in your life and how to fix it.  Who doesn’t like pop culture? And if you do, you should know there is a lot of it on display at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington D.C. Joining me to discuss why pop culture is so popular and important is Kenneth Cohen, a research associate at the museum and editor of a book called Entertainment Nation: How Music, Television, Film, Sports, and Theater Shaped the United States (https://amzn.to/3DuRPnZ). You are invited as Kenneth takes us on a tour of some of the items in the collection including Dorothy’s ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz, TV Superman’s costume, Prince’s yellow cloud guitar, Jerry Seinfeld’s puffy shirt and more. Few of us are sticklers for proper etiquette most of the time, however, there is one etiquette rule that always has been and always will be true – and you should use it whenever you can. Listen as I reveal what it is. Source: Valerie Sokolosky, author of Do It Right (https://amzn.to/3zGHX9G). PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

    A Serious Look at UFOs & The Power of Grace in Today’s World

    How do you decide when to throw food out? If you go by the date printed on the package, you could be wasting a lot of money. Listen as this episode begins with an understanding of what those dates mean and when you can ignore them. https://www.greenvillebusinessmag.com/2024/02/01/478977/sell-by-use-by-best-by-food-experts-decipher-the-meaning-of-expiration-dates The real fascination with UFOs began with one incident in 1947. Ever since then, there have been endless sightings of objects flying in the sky and people wondering what they are and could they be alien spacecraft? The U.S. government is also very interested in UFOs and is constantly looking skyward to try and find and figure them out. So, what are the facts? What are UFOs? What is Area 51? Are we alone? Here with some thoughtful answers to these questions is Garrett Graff. He is a former editor for Politico, a contributor to Wired and CNN, and as an author was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize. His latest book is titled UFO: The Inside Story of the US Government's Search for Alien Life Here―and Out There (https://amzn.to/3NNsmMd) Grace. It’s hard to define it in a person but you know when you see it. Generally, it is an admirable quality and most of us could probably use a bit more of it. Here to explain grace and tell some wonderful stories of grace in action is Julia s Baird. She is an Australian journalist, broadcaster, and author of the book Bright Shining: How Grace Changes Everything (https://amzn.to/4f54EqF). Do you know what to do – and not do if your dog gets into a fight with another dog? Dog owners often make matters worse because do the exact wrong thing. Listen as I reveal the best advice if you see your dog (or any dog) get into a dogfight. https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/pets/dog-behavior/how-break-dog-fight?page=all PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

    How Notebooks Changed Your Life & Are Video Screens Really So Bad?

    When you know someone’s musical tastes, it can affect what you think of that person. It can even impact how attractive you find someone. I begin this episode with an explanation of the link between music and relationships. https://www.medindia.net/news/Music-Predicts-Sexual-Attraction-80223-1.htm You’ve likely never thought about this but – notebooks have changed the world. When people started writing things down in notebooks, diaries, ledgers and lists, it was astonishing what happened and continues to happen to this day. All you have to do is think for a moment what life would be like without notebooks and you get a glimpse of how important they are. Here to tell the story of the magical power of the humble notebook is Roland Allen. He is author of book, The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper (https://amzn.to/3NGd2B8). You have certainly heard the warnings about how too much screen time is bad for you. I suspect most of us wish we spent less time scrolling on our phone or surfing on our computer or tablet but that screen has become such an important part of daily life. And what exactly is the harm anyway? Here to discuss this is Dr. Richard Cytowic. He is a professor of neurology at George Washington University and author of the book Your Stone Age Brain in the Screen Age: Coping with Digital Distraction and Sensory Overload (https://amzn.to/4hsyVBp). Meaningless words can be very persuasive. And advertisers know that. For example, a shampoo can promise to make your hair 5x silkier – but what exactly does that mean? How do you measure your hair’s silkiness? And that’s just one example. Listen as I explain why this is important. Source: Charles Seife author of Proofiness (https://amzn.to/3NL55KY).

    How Pleasure Makes People Miserable & How Weight Loss Really Works

    Everyone understands that getting enough sleep is important. But how important? This episode begins by revealing the benefits of getting just a mere 15 minutes more of sleep per night. https://conservancy.umn.edu/handle/11299/162769 We live in a world today where there is more abundance and more available pleasure than at any other time in history. You would think all this pleasure would make us happy. But could too much pleasure be causing a lot of people to be miserable? What if our brains aren’t wired to handle our wonderfully pleasurable life? That is what Anna Lembke is here to discuss. She is a psychiatrist and medical director of the Stanford Addiction Medicine and author of the bestselling book Dopamine Nation (https://amzn.to/3BahOhY). Listen as she explains how humans are not designed to have unending pleasure whether it’s technology or food or anything else. She has some interesting thoughts about why this is such a problem and how we can best deal with the downside of too much pleasure and not enough struggle. Losing weight has become a national obsession. It seems just about everyone wishes they weighed less than they do. And those who have tried to lose weight know it is very difficult. There are a lot of myths and conflicting information about weight loss, which is why Robert Davis is here. He is an award-winning health journalist and author of the book Supersized Lies: How Myths About Weight Loss Are Keeping Us Fat (https://amzn.to/3ptX41Q) . Listen as he reveals what works and what doesn’t work to help you lose weight – according to science.   In an emergency, when you can’t speak, your cellphone could save your life if you would just take a few minutes and do one important thing. Listen as I reveal how your cellphone can speak for you when you can’t – if you set it up right.  https://www.huffpost.com/entry/android-iphone-emergency-contact-ce_l_5ce2e6aee4b075a35a2b9250 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

    How Regular People Become Millionaires & How The Power of Suggestion Works

    Is handwriting analysis a real thing? Can an “expert” really tell if handwriting is forged or real or is it just their opinion? And can you tell anything about someone’s personality from their handwriting? This episode begins by looking at the truth of handwriting analysis. Source: https://www.pens.co.uk/pen2paper/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Pen2Paper-The-History-of-Handwriting-Analysis.pdf What does it take to become wealthy? There seems to be a lot of confusion about who becomes wealthy and why. Most millionaires today did not inherit their wealth, they are self-made millionaires. How they became wealthy has a lot to do with their mindset. Wealthy people think differently about money according to my guest Brad Klontz. He is a financial psychologist whose work has been featured in USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and the Washington Post. He is also co-author of a book called Start Thinking Rich: 21 Harsh Truths to Take You from Broke to Financial Freedom (https://amzn.to/4fgIt0K). Listen and discover the simple strategies of building wealth that you can start today. The power of suggestion is something most of us don’t truly understand and yet we are constantly being bombarded by suggestions all day. The power of suggestion can make you buy things, do things and believe things you might not otherwise. Even the placebo effect is an example of the power of suggestion at work. Joining me to explain the workings of the power of suggestion is Amir Raz. He is a neuroscientist and well-known expert on the science of suggestion. He has held positions as Canada Research Chair, Professor of Psychiatry, Neurology and Neurosurgery, and Psychology at McGill University, and he is author of the book The Suggestible Brain: The Science and Magic of How We Make Up Our Minds (https://amzn.to/3BSHVzA). Have you ever felt crapulous? I am sure you have. Do you know where your glabella is? You are about to find out.

    The Keys to a Long Term Relationship & How Our Minds Are Quirky - SYSK Choice

    From a very early age you were likely told not to lie. Lying is bad. And it seems that one of the things it is bad for is your health! This episode begins by explaining how lying affects your health – and not in a good way. https://newsinfo.nd.edu/news/32424-study-telling-fewer-lies-linked-to-better-health-relationships The idea of marrying someone for love is a relatively recent concept when you look back through human history. Today, it is often the primary reason for marriage. Yet if you look at the divorce statistics, love may not be the magic ingredient to long term relationships. While we are not likely to go back to arranged marriages, there may be something we can learn from them, says psychiatrist George Blair-West author of the book How to Make the Biggest Decision of Your Life (https://amzn.to/3gQPTyD). Listen as he explains what really works in keeping a relationship together – and it isn’t romantic love.  The human mind works in odd ways. For one thing, we tend to be overconfident in our abilities. We often think other people are having more fun than we are. We also tend to like things simply because they remind us of us – like the letters in your name or the numbers in your birthday! Here to explain all this is David G. Myers. He is a social psychologist and professor of psychology at Hope College and author of a book How Do We Know Ourselves?: Curiosities and Marvels of the Human Mind (https://amzn.to/3fqyP1Z). Every good cook knows you should NEVER wash or rinse mushrooms, you should brush them. That is because mudrooms soak up water like a sponge and that ruins them. But what if that isn’t really true? Listen as I explain. Source: Harold McGee author of On Food and Cooking (https://amzn.to/3UeclA2). PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!
