SYSK Choice: The Mysteries of Revulsion & Inventions That Should Have Come Earlier

Have you ever gone to the supermarket only to find everything had been moved around? Why do they move things around when you have gotten to know where every thing is? I’ll explain why they do that and other little tricks supermarkets play on you. http://www.popsugar.com/smart-living/Supermarket-Psychology-Tricks-18344600?stream_view=1#photo-Ever wonder why certain things disgust you? The things you find disgusting may be perfectly acceptable – even pleasing to someone else. Disgust turns out to be a fascinating human emotion. No other animals get disgusted by the things like we do. And this emotion has served us well. Rachel Herz, a teacher at Brown University is also author of the book, That’s Disgusting: Unraveling the Mysteries of Repulsion (https://amzn.to/2xTcjVG) joins me to discuss why we get disgusted.Very few people think they look great in photographs. So I have some advice from top photographers on what to do so you look great in every photograph you are in – no matter who is taking the picture. https://www.thrillist.com/lifestyle/nation/how-to-look-better-in-photos-best-ways-to-pose-for-picturesIt is amazing to think that so many inventions that changed how we live could’ve been invented a lot sooner. The stethoscope, the compass, human flight and other inventions took way too long to materialize since the technology for them was around a long time ago. It’s just that no one figured out how to put it all together.

What Makes You Afraid & The Amazing Way Dogs Predict Illness in People

One thing cats do that annoys a lot of people is they hunt, kill and bring home birds and mice and other animals. However, there is something cat owners can do to help cut down the number of times that happens. This episode begins with an explanation. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/02/210211113943.htmWe are all afraid of something - probably many things frighten us. Often that’s a good thing. Fear keeps us safe. So what is fear? Where does it come from? And what do you do if fear is holding you back from opportunities in life? Listen as I discuss all of this with Helen Odeskky, a licensed clinical psychologist, anxiety expert and author of the book Stop Fear from Stopping You: The Art and Science of Becoming Fear-Wise (https://amzn.to/3qBprt2). I think she will have you looking at fear in a whole new way. Imagine if dogs could detect disease in people before a doctor or a medical test could. Well they can! Or at least they can be trained to and the results are amazing. Maria Godavage is a journalist who explored this fascinating field of medicine and she is author of the book called Doctor Dogs: How Are Best Friends are Becoming Our Best Medicine (https://amzn.to/3pLh9gT). Listen as she describes how dogs can smell cancer and detect seizures and other medical conditions before they happen. By the way, Maria has also written about military dogs and the dogs who work for the Secret Service guarding the president and she has a few really interesting stories to tell about that as well.You live your life based on a lot of assumptions. We count on things being a certain way. However, when you question your assumptions you can come up with some amazing ideas. Listen as I reveal some great ideas that were simply the result of questioning assumptions and conventional wisdom.

Invisible Forces that Influence Your Life & How The News of the Day Affects You

Men - and teenage boys - sometimes act foolishly in front of beautiful women. They are also known to take more risks if they know a woman is watching. Why? This episode begins with an interesting explanation that points to evolution as the reason why. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2010-03/sp-wdm031810.phpWe like to think that the world is fairly predictable and that we have good explanations for why things happen. The fact is we don’t in many cases. Why does one smoker die young while another lives to 100? Why do certain medicines work for some people but not other people? The answer is - no one really knows. Journalist and broadcaster Michael Blastland says that we need to face the fact that so much of how the world works is a total mystery. Michael is the author of a book called The Hidden Half (https://amzn.to/3pCFvt8). Listen as he makes the case that there are unforeseen forces that influence so much of what happens that no one can explain. News is a big business. For centuries there have been newspapers, then news magazines, then radio and TV news and now we have 24-hour cable news networks. When you watch or read the news you get the impression that it is really important stuff. But is it? Do people really care what’s going on in the world. Listen to the surprising answer from Rob Brotherton, a psychology and science writer who teaches at Barnard College in New York and is author of the book Bad News: Why We Fall for Fake News (https://amzn.to/3dySmKn). If you are news watcher, you will find what he says to be fascinating. Did you know chocolate was responsible (at least partly) for the discovery of the microwave oven? Do you know how much caffeine is in chocolate? And what about the link between chocolate and acne? Listen as I explain some fascinating facts about chocolate you may have never known. http://justfunfacts.com/interesting-facts-about-chocolate/PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!With Grove, making the switch to natural products has never been easier!

SYSK Choice: Improving the Way You Think & Eating Without Worrying

Many men - and women too - wish they were taller. Unfortunately, there is no simple fix for that. But there are ways to LOOK taller and we start this episode with some effective techniques. http://www.esquire.com/style/mens-fashion/a37254/7-style-tips-that-will-make-you-look-taller/Did anyone ever teach you HOW to think? Likely not. So when you have a problem to solve or need to come up with a solution – you just think the way you think. But what if you could think better? Tim Hurson author of the book Think Better (https://amzn.to/2CzMTCn) joins me to discuss a way to improve your thinking that can result in better thoughts, better ideas and better solutions.So what’s the deal with seedless watermelons? Where did they come from and why are there no seeds? And how do they grow new ones if there are no seeds to plant? I’ll unravel the mystery of seedless watermelons for you. http://mentalfloss.com/article/31211/where-do-seedless-watermelons-comeToday, meal planning isn’t so much about foods we enjoy but rather foods that are supposed to be “good for you.” The problem is, that is a very strange way to eat. Barry Glassner, a sociology professor at the University of Southern California is author of a book The Gospel of Food: Why We Should Stop Worrying and Enjoy What We Eat (https://amzn.to/2wStk2R). He joins me to explain why our obsession with eating food with less salt, less sugar and fewer calories is flawed and why eating foods you enjoy has a lot of real benefits.PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!Discover matches all the cash back you earn on your credit card at the end of your first year automatically!

How to Exude Self-Confidence & What it Means to Be a Better Person

Dust is everywhere. And as soon as you get rid of it, it comes right back again. This episode begins with an explanation of what the dust in your house is made of and the best ways to keep it under control. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091028114023.htmProbably everyone wishes they had more self-confidence. Who wanted want to be one of those people who can just walk into a room and take control. Nothing seems to bother them and they don’t seem to care what anyone thinks of them. It turns out we can all have more confidence and it all starts with a decision according to psychologist Sheenah Hankin author of the book Complete Confidence: A Handbook (https://amzn.to/2LTcGux) Just listening to this conversation with Sheenah will make you feel more confident and give you the tools to develop more confidence as time goes on. What does it mean to be a better person? That’s what Jim Davies decided to explore. Jim is a professor at the Institute of Cognitive Science at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada and author of the book, Being the Person Your Dog Thinks You Are: The Science of a Better You (https://amzn.to/2OyCfly) . He has developed three pillars of being a better person - productivity, morality and happiness. Listen as he explains how you too can all be as wonderful as your dog thinks you are.People do better work when they are rewarded for it. That probably comes as no surprise but there is a bit more to it than that. Listen as I explain the power of a reward to motivate people as well as how a lack of reward demotivates people.

How to Prepare for a Big Event (From a Jeopardy Champion) & Making Sense of Statistics

Where do potholes come from? Did you know there is a “pothole season” when they are more likely to happen? This episode begins with a discussion on one of my biggest pet peeves - potholes. https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/642198/reason-roads-have-potholesWe all have big events we need to prepare for. Whether it’s a speech or an interview or a performance of any kind, you need to be prepared. So what is the most effective way to prepare? One person who knows a lot about preparing for a big event is Buzzy Cohen. He was a 9-game winner on Jeopardy who then went on to victory in the Jeopardy Tournament of Champions. Buzzy claims it wasn’t that he was so smart - he just prepared better. Listen as he shares his insight into the best ways to prepare for any big event or performance. He also talks about his experience on Jeopardy. Buzzy is the author of the audio book Get Ready: A Champion's Guide to Preparing for the Moments that Matter (https://amzn.to/3tSdp04).While people often use data and statistics to make an argument or support their case, it also seems that more of us are less trusting of that data. Should we be? It often seems that you can use data to support any argument. So how can we better understand how data and statistics work and how can we use these to improve our understanding of the world? Here with some excellent advice is Tim Harford who has been called “the best popular economics writer in the world.” He is author of the book The Data Detective: 10 Easy Rules to Make Sense of Statistics (https://amzn.to/3jENog6).Have you ever forgotten something and worried that your memory maybe isn’t working right?

SYSK Choice: How Your Home Impacts You & The Forgiveness Myth

When you ask someone on a date, is it better to call or send a text or email? There is a preferred method if the goal is to get a - yes. This episode begins by explaining all of this. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/09/150901140703.htmWhen someone walks into your home, they immediately make assumptions about you. So what do people assume about you? What does your home say? According to Winifred Gallagher author of the book, House Thinking: A Room by Room Look at How We Live (https://amzn.to/2LzmTWX), it says a lot. What’s also interesting is that your house and its contents have impact and influence on you – in terms of how you think and behave.

But is it? What if what was done to you is unforgivable – then what? Is forgiveness the only way to unburden yourself? No, according to Gary Egeberg, author of the book, The Forgiveness Myth (https://amzn.to/2Pg6xEM).
