Something You Should Know

How Smells Impact Your Thoughts and Actions & Why People Get Burned Out


Listen Later

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.html

Can 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/3I1PPVl
