Something You Should Know

Why Couples Hate to Talk About Money & How Scents and Smells Affect You

In the online shopping world, there is something called “cart abandonment discounts.” Listen as I explain what they are and how you can save money on some of the items you want to buy as long as you are not in a huge hurry to buy them. https://thekrazycouponlady.com/tips/store-hacks/amazon-cart-abandonment-discounts

Money is often a difficult subject for couples to discuss. One of the big reasons is that those discussions often turn into fights. But what if you could turn those discussions into fun and enjoyable talks that resulted in a shared vision of a rich life together? And what if the fights over money stopped completely? Wouldn’t that be great? It can happen if you listen to my guest Rahmit Sethi. For several years he has been helping people look at their money differently. He had a huge bestselling book a few years ago called I Will Teach You To Be Rich (https://amzn.to/4h47FIm) and his latest book is called Money for Couples (https://amzn.to/4j3daJo).

There are so many ways your sense of smell works to your benefit. For one thing, you are attracted to another person (or turned off by them) often because of how they smell, even if you are not conscious of it. Your sense of smell works in some interesting and mysterious ways. And here to explain the science behind all of it is Jonas Olofsson. He is a professor of psychology at Stockholm University, where he directs the Sensory Cognitive Interaction Lab and he is author of the book, The Forgotten Sense: The New Science of Smell – and the Extraordinary Power of the Nose (https://amzn.to/3DSgNS8).

Your bedroom is probably dark when you go to bed – at least mostly dark. But is it completely dark? If it’s not, there is something you need to understand, and we learned about it from hamsters. https://sciencemadefun.net/blog/this-color-night-light-is-best-for-sleep-the-color-will-surprise-you/
