Listen Later

All kinds of things can influence a big decision. However, one thing you likely never considered is the lighting in the room. Yet, it turns out that lighting can have a significant impact on what you decide. Listen as I explain how and why optimal lighting is so important. http://media.utoronto.ca/media-releases/education/new-research-shows-the-way-a-room-is-lit-can-affect-the-way-you-make-decisions/

My first guest on this episode is Brian Greene. He is a theoretical physicist, string theorist (and occasional TV guest star having appeared on The Big Bang Theory.) He is also the author of several books including, The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos (http://amzn.to/2tMA9lz) which will get you thinking about reality and the universe we live in. Brian joins me to explain that there may be several parallel universes and alternate realities beyond our own. Sure, it all sounds like science fiction, but Brian explains this so well, I know you’ll be fascinated.

Why do some people blush but others don’t? It must serve some sort of purpose. Listen as I explain what science says about WHY peoples’ faces turn red when they get embarrassed or flustered. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/06/why-do-people-blush/489572/

What is the difference between a tough boss and a bullying boss? Workplace bullying is a real problem and it usually (but not always) comes from the boss. Tracey Jones, author of, A Message to Millennials (http://amzn.to/2sFJbNa) reveals the seriousness of the problem and what individuals can and must do to stop the bullying.
