In this episode we discuss the benefits of letter writing. While many probably first consider the impact on the person receiving the letter, we explore the benefits for those engaged in the act of writing the letter. We share our personal stories about letter writing but also call on Dr. Vincent Corbo, Associate Professor of Psychology at Southern New Hampshire University, to gather bigger than you know insights on the topic.

Dr. Corbo received his Ph.D. in Neuroscience from McGill University in Montreal, Canada. His research interests focus on stress among healthy populations as well as individuals with PTSD. He has done postdoctoral work for the Translational Research Center for Traumatic Brain Injury and Stress Disorders (TRACTS) for Veteran Affairs in Boston. Additionally he is a fountain pen fan and collector, and co-hosts a podcast called "A Dark Impression".

In this episode, we discuss whether we really learned all we needed to know in kindergarten and we'll use the Credo from Robert Fulgrum's 1988 best selling book "All I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten" to launch our discussion. We also get some expert advice from teachers about how to manifest kindergarten lessons into our daily lives.

As the world around us evolves in its complexity it is easy to lose site of the simple things that make a difference in our lives. If only we took the time to recall and (re)discover those things, what we sometimes perceive as insignificant just might hold greater meaning and purpose. Bigger Than You Know is about recognizing, acknowledging, and celebrating the little things in life and their impact.
