Something You Should Know

The Amazing Things Your Heart Does & The Power You Have to Change Lives

I am sure you know people who love to offer unsolicited advice. And if you think back to the last time someone offered it to you – you likely didn’t follow it. No one does. This episode starts by revealing why people hate unsolicited advice and what works so much better if you want to get someone to do something. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/do-the-right-thing/201407/giving-people-advice-rarely-works-does


We have known for a long time that the human heart is not really involved with emotions. You can’t really love someone with all your heart – that’s not what the heart does. Still, we talk about love and the heart as being connected. Why? That’s just one of the things I discuss with my guest Dr. Vincent Figueredo. He is a practicing cardiologist, professor of medicine and author of the book, The Curious History of the Heart: A Cultural and Scientific Journey (https://amzn.to/4hlJQfa). Listen as he also reveals just how amazing your heart is, what it does and what it is like to hold a beating human heart in his hands!


We can all help people make real positive changes in their lives by taking some very small actions. That’s according to important research conducted by my guest Greg Walton, PhD. He is the co-director of the Dweck-Walton Lab and a professor of psychology at Stanford University. Listen as he explains what he calls “Ordinary Magic” – small steps that can be very influential in keeping people on track and help them become the people they want to be. Greg is author of book called Ordinary Magic: The Science of How We Can Achieve Big Change with Small Acts (https://amzn.to/4ihZlGa)

Do you know what the difference is between a habit and an addiction? While they seem similar, there is an important distinction. Listen as I explain the difference. Source: Charles DuHigg author of The Power of Habit (https://amzn.to/41D7JJd)
