Who you hang out with can affect your health. This episode begins with some interesting research from Gallup about the impact your friends can have on you - both positive and negative. Source: Tom Rath author of Well Being (https://amzn.to/3EekZb7)

We all feel stuck at some point in life. Maybe you are stuck in a job or a relationship - or you just feel stuck in general. So how do you get unstuck? Well, there are some good ways and some bad ways. Here to explain what works and what doesn’t and how anyone can get unstuck from just about anything is therapist Britt Frank, author of the book, The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward (https://amzn.to/3Efv33v).

Certain alternative therapies have been labeled “woo-woo.” Generally, that has come to mean they are things that are a bit mystical and no one really knows if they work for sure. This includes things like visualization, massage, aroma therapy, nature, kindness and so on. While the promises made regarding what these things can do may sometimes be overstated, there does seem to be something beneficial. Joining me to discuss that is Dr David Hamilton, a writer and speaker and author of several books including Why Woo Woo Works (https://amzn.to/3JLtBXI).

People who eat fast, tend to eat more. And that can be a bad thing. Listen as I explain one simple technique to help fast eaters slow down, eat less and maybe weigh a little less as a result. https://arstechnica.com/science/2010/12/imagine-eating-an-mm-taking/
