Your mother probably told you not to lie – and she was right. Of course, there are the moral reasons for not lying but it seems lying is also bad for your health. This episode begins with the reasons why. http://newsinfo.nd.edu/news/32424-study-telling-fewer-lies-linked-to-better-health-relationships
For most of human history, people married NOT for love. It is only recently that this idea of committing to someone because you fall in love came about and a lot of times it doesn’t work very well. While it is unlikely that we will ever go back to arranged marriages, there are some things we can learn from them according to psychiatrist George Blair-West author of the book How to Make the Biggest Decision of Your Life (https://amzn.to/3gQPTyD). Listen as he reveals what really matters in keeping a relationship together for a long time.
When you study the human mind, it is easy to come to the conclusion that it works in odd and curious ways. For example, we tend to be overconfident in our abilities a lot of the time. We often think everyone else is having more fun than we are. And we tend to like things simply because they remind us of us – like the numbers in your birthday! Listen as I discuss this with my guest 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).
In just about every recipe that uses mushrooms, it tells you to brush (not wash) them before you eat them.
