How effective are your listening skills? And how much stronger would your relationship be if you could “listen like a dog?” Dogs instinctively know not to interrupt us, finish our sentences, and offer unsolicited advice or text us instead of talking to us. And if we’re smart, asserts best-selling author Jeff Lazarus, we’ll strive to be more like them.

Citing a Cornell study’s finding that we have one-third fewer good friends now than we did before social media came along, Jeff will share the mistakes we make when we think we are communicating. A health science consultant with an MBA from Pepperdine University, Jeff taught public speaking at the university level and conducted numerous workshops on listening, presentation skills, and customer engagement.

His new book “Listen Like a Dog” was inspired by his late dog Roamy and is the  follow-up to his #1 bestseller, “Dogtology.” The book’s website is www.listenlikeadog.com.

Prince, whose shocking death appears to be from a prescription painkiller overdose, joins the ranks of over 190,000 Americans who have died from prescription opioids.  Most, like Prince, started out as legitimate pain patients. Pain is a serious problem.  Over 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, more than cancer, heart disease and diabetes combined, and pain costs our economy over $600 billion a year in medical costs and lost productivity. It also affects love relationships.

What if there was a way of knowing our moments more richly and more deeply as they unfold? What if we experienced more memorable moments in any given day? How might this alter the experience of our lives?

Are you in or interested in creating a relationship that goes beyond the norm in some way, in gender, number, expression or style?  At her website Love Outside the Box, relationship expert Dawn Davidson provides counseling, information on establishing boundaries as well as suggestions on how to deal with jealousy and much more. Today we’re going to talk about polyamory and the lessons everyone can learn from this unique and often misunderstood type of relationship.  

Researchers estimate that as many as 5 percent of Americans are currently in relationships involving consensual non-monogamy — that is, permission to go outside the couple looking for love or sex.The boundaries in these relationships are remarkably varied, with some couples negotiating one-off "swinging" or partner-swapping experiences and others forming stable bonds among three, four or five partners simultaneously. The latter is a version of polyamory, relationships in which people have multiple partnerships at once with the full knowledge of everyone involved.

Imagine a world where you can connect with a compassionate listener as quicklyas you can order an Uber. Jeremy Fischbach is a co-founder of Happiness Amplification Project, or 'Happy,' which aims to provide people with affordable emotional support on demand. 

The premise of Happy is simple: there are millions of Americans who aren't receiving the emotional support that they need--they are hungry for comfort, encouragement, and affirmation. Happy aims to connect these two groups with each other over the phone. For example, a person struggling with the aftermath of a divorce can call in and receive encouragement and empathy from a caring retiree who has the time and desire to help support others. Jeremy studied psychology at Princeton, has a law degree, and has been involved with a number of projects at the intersection of psychology and technology.
