  • SYSK Choice: Eat Like an Animal to Lose Weight & Skills for a Healthy Relationship

    When you get a fever, what should you do? Some people say you should take medicine to knock it down – some say to leave it alone and let it run its course. Who’s right? This episode begins with an expert answer to that question. http://www.menshealth.com/health/clean-up-your-health-routine

    When you’re hungry - you’re hungry. Right? Not exactly. While you may think hunger is one thing, there is evidence to show that we have several different kinds of hungers – 5 actually. Stephen Simpson has studied this and joins me to explain how understanding your different hungers will help you eat less and control your weight. Stephen is Academic Director of the Charles Perkins Centre and Professor in the School of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Sydney in Australia and author of the book Eat Like the Animals (https://amzn.to/36Z66sJ).

    When was the last time you really cleaned your car’s steering wheel or dashboard or gear shift? After you hear this, you will probably want to attend to that right away. https://www.motorbiscuit.com/last-time-cleaned-car-steering-wheel/

    While romantic relationships start out with high hopes, many don’t stand the test of time. So, what can you do to make sure you find the right person and then keep your relationship happy? Here with some excellent answers is Joanne DaVila. She has been studying and speaking about romantic relationships as a professor at Stony Brook University. She is author of the book The Thinking Girl’s Guide to the Right Guy (https://amzn.to/2Y4ZdSt) and she has a great TED Talk on the skills for healthy romantic relationships.

  • How Stress Distorts Your Thinking & What You Never Knew About the Clothes You Wear

    It seems that no matter how much water you drink, someone is always telling you to drink more. They may be right. It does seem that staying hydrated is good for you. This episode begins with an explanation of the benefits of drinking more water - both physical and mental. https://www.eatingwell.com/article/17435/why-drink-water-how-water-and-health-are-connected/

Yet stress can cause a lot of problems such as anxiety, worry, fear and distorted thinking.

And that is just the beginning. Dana Thomas is a writer who has served as cultural and fashion correspondent for Newsweek, contributor to the New York Times Style section and she is the author of a book called Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes (https://amzn.to/2PXFgMr). Listen as she takes a look behind the scenes of the clothing industry and explains why we should all be concerned.

  • How Modern Surgery Changed Everything & How to Ask the Right Questions

    For some reason, dogs seem to love to hang their head out the car window when it’s moving. Why do they do that? And is it a good idea to let them do that? This episode begins with an explanation of what dogs get out of the experience and what you should do as the dog’s owner. https://www.metlifepetinsurance.com/blog/pet-behavior/should-my-dog-hang-their-head-out-of-a-car-window/

    Imagine where we would be without modern surgery. Many of us wouldn’t be here, actually. The history of surgery is remarkably short and extremely impressive So many amazing advances in a very short amount of time. And it all started once 4 big problems were solved. Ira Rutkow, MD is a general surgeon an historian of American medicine. He joins me to tell the story of modern surgery - and it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. Ira is also author of the book, Empire of the Scalpel: The History of Surgery (https://amzn.to/3Lz8lWo). Once you hear it, you’ll be glad you didn’t live 150 years ago and need an operation. 

    Are you curious? Do you ask a lot of questions? Surprisingly, most adults really don’t ask very many questions during the day and the ones we do ask tend to be mundane things like “How are you?” or “What kind of work do you do?” Yet, by asking the right kinds of questions you can learn and understand so much and connect with other people in a way you might not otherwise do. So what kinds of questions should you ask? Here to explain is Chad Littlefield, is co-founder and Chief Experience Officer of We and Me, Inc., an organization whose mission is to create conversations that matter. He is also coauthor of the book Ask Powerful Questions (https://amzn.to/380YdI8).

  • SYSK Choice: The Best Advice is Not to Give Any & Overcoming Cognitive Dissonance

    People say they are attracted to people who make them laugh and have a good sense of humor. But it is a bit more complicated than that. It is true that humor can bring people together, but it can also pull them apart. This episode begins with an explanation about humor and couples. https://www.theknot.com/content/couples-who-share-sense-of-humor-study

    When someone asks you for advice, you likely give it. After all, they asked. However, you may be better off by keeping quiet and withholding your advice, at least for a little while. That’s the suggestion of Michael Bungay Stanier. Michael has been named #1 Thought Leader in Coaching and he is considered one of the top coaches in the world. He is also author of a book called The Advice Trap: Be Humble, Stay Curious & Change the Way You Lead Forever (https://amzn.to/36WEUdY). Michael joins me to explain why you might want to be a little more stingy with your advice.

    We all tend to justify our mistakes and poor decisions to ourselves. When we do something wrong or that we regret, it doesn’t line up with our beliefs about how we are good and honest people. So we make excuses or we decide there were extenuating circumstances because we know we are not bad people – we are good people who made a mistake. This process is called cognitive dissidence. Everyone does it and it can get you into trouble according to social psychologist Carol Tavris author of the book Mistakes Were Made (but Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts (https://amzn.to/2ADP2Mw). Listen as Carol joins me to discuss this fascinating topic.

This episode begins with some interesting insight into the problem and what you should do to make sure the doctor understands your time is valuable. https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/practices/ppatients-switched-doctors-long-wait-times-vitals#

    How effective is peer pressure? Are we really influenced by the people around us - and if so, how much? Do we exert peer pressure on other without realizing it? Is there a way to use peer pressure to get people to change their behavior? Joining me to discuss all this is Robert Frank, a professor of Management and Economics at Cornell University’s Johnson Graduate School of Management and author of the book Under the Influence: Putting Peer Pressure to Work (https://amzn.to/3L4HPno).

    Only 2% of people claim they never feel shy. The rest of us have all been in situations where we have felt shy to some degree. Why does that happen? Why are some people more shy than others? How can you overcome that feeling in situations that really matter? Here to help is Lynn Henderson. She has worked with shy people to help them break free from those shy feelings that hold them back from fully participating in life. Lynne is the founder of the Social Fitness Center and the founder and co-director of the Shyness Institute. She is also author of The Shyness Workbook (https://amzn.to/3sA1Njp).

Joining me with some insight and science regarding how we can all be happier is Tim Bono, a lecturer at Washington University in St. Louis where he teaches courses on the Science of Happiness and author of the book Happiness 101: Simple Secrets to Smart Living & Well-Being (https://amzn.to/3cPVgY3).

  • How to Learn Anything Better and Faster & The Mosquito: Humans' Worst Enemy

    If you wear a certain fragrance, people will perceive you as 12 pounds thinner. That’s just one of many fascinating things I discuss about your sense of smell in the first segment of this episode. https://www.apa.org/monitor/2011/02/scents

    We are all learning all the time. But have you ever thought about HOW you learn? Maybe you can learn better if you did it differently.

    What earthly creature is the deadliest to humans? It’s the mosquito! The mosquito has killed more people than any other creature. It is not that the mosquito itself is so deadly, it is what it carries with it. Tim Winegard, a professor of history and political science at Colorado Mesa University and author of the book The Mosquito: A Human History of Our Deadliest Predator (https://amzn.to/31pWnHV) joins me to offer a fascinating exploration of how the mosquito has changed the course of history in ways you never knew.
