What if you could get more done in less time? That would sure come in handy around the holidays – or any time. This episode begins with a simple strategy that works great even though only one in five people do it. http://www.balancetime.com/

Every culture on the planet has some sort of religion. Why? What is it that religion does for people that makes it so popular? For one thing, people who practice a religion – any religion – report some real benefits to their life, health and longevity according to David DeSteno author of the book How God Works: The Science Behind the Benefits of Religion (https://amzn.to/3AWs2Vx) and host of the podcast How God Works (https://www.howgodworks.org). Listen as David reveals the scientific findings that explain why religion is so important to people, what the benefits are and how anyone can reap those benefits regardless of what religion you believe in. 

Would you want to live in outer space? What would happen to your body and mind living miles above the earth? When you think about it, we humans aren’t built to live without gravity. We’ve always had it. So, what happens if you go for long periods of time without it? Here to address all of this is someone who has actually lived in space for a long time – TWICE! Dave Williams is an astronaut, pilot, ER physician, former Director of Space & Life Sciences at NASA’s Johnson Space Center and author of the book, Why Am I Taller?: What Happens to an Astronaut’s Body in Space (https://amzn.to/3FoI5xK). Listen as he reveals the challenges of living, sleeping, eating, and everything else in zero gravity.

I’m sure you have heard the phrase, “That’s a whole nother story…” But wait a second! Is nother really a word? Listen as I discuss what the “nother” in “a whole nother story” is all about.
