Today, Science writer Matthew Hutson joins me to talk about his book The 7 Laws of Magical Thinking. Even the least superstitious among us fall prey to all kinds of magical thoughts tendencies that are irrational. Find out how you do it, and how to mitigate it so you don't get too tricked by your own brain or by hucksters along your path.

I welcome people from all sorts of backgrounds on Spark My Muse. Each Friday is a guest conversation and each Wednesday is a short episode called "Soul School" that is something to help your everyday life, relationships, and inner world. "Varsity Club" is for those of you who like the show most and want some extra goodies. For you, there is a bonus video each Wednesday other things I've cooked up at patreon.com/sparkmymuse [Check that link out today] You get access starting at just $5 per month. This contribution helps defray the cost of producing the show. Which is NOT CHEAP, my friends. It kicks the crap out of my wallet each month. Without enough listener support, Spark My Muse will end, maybe by 2017. I hope not...I'll have to check the books this Autumn and make a decision. So, I'm counting on you to help out.

Thank you for listening and spreading the word. The more people who listen, the better chance Spark My Muse has of surviving!
