SYSK Choice: The Anatomy of Love & How Successful People Achieve Their Goals
I know I have heard people claim that bad weather causes aches and pains in their body. Is that real? Can the weather affect your joints or bones in a way that causes it to hurt? Listen as I explore the science regarding the connection to weather and pain. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-4105520/Don-t-blame-weather-pain-scientists-discover-no-linktwo.htmlAt least for humans, falling in love seems to be a lot easier than staying in love. Why is that? Social anthropologist Helen Fisher author of the book Anatomy of Love: A Natural History of Mating, Marriage, and Why We Stray (http://amzn.to/2EvFAvd) joins me to discuss the inner workings of love between 2 people; what often goes wrong and how to keep the romance alive. When you create a goal for yourself, there is a tendency to focus on how hard or it is going to be to achieve. Yet, there is some really interesting research that indicates that’s about the worst thing you can do. If you change the way you look at the goal, it becomes easier to achieve. One of the people conducting the research is Emily Balcetis a social psychologist and associate professor of psychology at New York University. She is author of the book Clearer, Closer, Better: How Successful People See the World (https://amzn.to/2RBvUF7) and she joins me to offer you advice on achieving your goals with less struggle.Have you ever watched a sleeping dog twitch and move it’s feet like it is running?

Are Generic Drugs Really Just as Good? & The Science of Finding the Best Career
Growing up I remember my mother telling me I shouldn’t drink coffee because it could stunt my growth. Really? How could that possibly be true? Also, people have long believed that coffee will sober up someone who has been drinking. Can coffee really do that too? This episode begins with a look at what coffee can and cannot do. http://lifehacker.com/four-popular-coffee-myths-debunked-by-science-1780764499Why would you pay for name brand drug when a generic version is cheaper? After all, generic drugs are equivalent to name brands - right? That’s the question I explore with journalist Katherine Eban, author of the book Bottle of Lies: The Inside Story of the Generic Drug Boom (https://amzn.to/2K1f6Vm). We have all been told that generic drugs are the same - or at least have the same active ingredient as name brand drugs at a fraction of the price. However, they may not necessarily be true. Katherine’s investigation found a disturbing story about the safety and effectiveness of generic drugs that you probably haven’t heard before. If you or a friend or family member takes prescription drugs, it is important for you to hear this episode.Katherine’s website is www.KatherineEban.com Too much sun is a problem. But so is too little sun. It turns out there is strong medical evidence that some sun is good for your health. Listen to hear how much and what it is good for.

How Smells Impact Your Thoughts and Actions & Why People Get Burned Out
If you have a big decision to make, you might want to wash your hands first. Listen as this episode begins with an explanation for why it is such a good idea. https://www.seeker.com/washing-hands-makes-tough-choices-easier-discovery-news-1766493167.htmlCan you actually smell fear or other emotions? Why do you like some odors while others make you ill? Why do certain smells bring back such vivid memories? These are just a few of the questions I explore with Jude Stewart author of the book Revelations in Air: A Guidebook to Smell (https://amzn.to/3Jxae55) . After you listen you will have a renewed appreciation for your sense of smell.People often talk about how “burned out” they are. So what is burn out? Is it a real thing or just a feeling people have? Are there actual symptoms? And if you are burned - what caused it and what can you do to get rid of it? All of those questions and more are answered by my guest, Jonathan Malesic. He was a tenured professor who got burned out - so he quit. Then, he researched the topic of burn out and wrote a great book about it called The End of Burnout: Why Work Drains Us and How to Build Better Lives (https://amzn.to/354CJID). IF you have ever felt burned out, you will want to hear his thoughts. When you have to make a decision or form a judgement about someone, should you use your gut instinct? Maybe but there may be some situations where following you gut may not work well. Listen as I explain.https://amzn.to/3I1PPVlPLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!We really like The Jordan Harbinger Show!
