Are kids today less resilient?

Kids today, they’re lazy, entitled, and self-obsessed. Their expensive avocado toast diets and Netflix-binging weekends mean they can’t get on the housing ladder, and they’re snowflakes, lacking the resilience that older generations have.Or are they? Much of the conversation about Gen Zs and Millennials follows that trend, but is it right? And more importantly, is there any evidence to back it up? Join Phill Agnew and Bruce Daisley (bestselling author of Joy of Work and Fortitude) as they discuss if children really are less resilient, why schools should start later, how rugby players improved performance by 2.5%, and the best way to quit smoking. Try HubSpot for free: https://hubspot.sjv.io/jWq4k6Read Bruce’s book: https://amzn.to/3STOp56 Sign up for the Nudge Newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list

Can brands change what you think?

Back in the 1800s, the people of Prussia ditched their gold and silver jewellery in favour of iron jewellery. That’s right, the wealthy, reputable, noble people across the region proudly wore, iron. The reason why can explain what we choose to buy today, how much we’re willing to spend, and what we think of brands. On today’s show, I’m joined by professor Matt Johnson as we discuss why branded painkillers work better, how Nike golf clubs drive further, why Ray-Ban sunglasses are perceived as better, and how brands literally change what we think. Try HubSpot for free: https://hubspot.sjv.io/jWq4k6Matt’s book: https://amzn.to/3qJ9McKMatt's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattjohnsonisme/Matt's Twitter: https://twitter.com/mattjohnsonismeMatt's Personal Website: neuroscienceof.comSign up for the Nudge Newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list
