Summary

In this episode, I am sharing 8 brand new studies and exciting new research about simple changes supported by science that can help you improve your day to day life, like… How to cut your gym time IN HALF and still get the same benefits. The surprising sound researchers say will boost your mood for EIGHT hours. The research on how mindfulness reduces your anxiety by 30% - the same as Lexapro. And so much more I’m also joined by Tracey, who leads our research and has helped me produce five #1 Audible Originals and all the science behind it. She’s found the studies; we are breaking them down together, and having a ball as we do. This episode is going to make you smarter and is packed with the tactical, simple, and science-backed tools that I know you love learning on this podcast. Pull up a seat and let’s go. Oh! And one more thing. As always, all of the research - and there’s a lot of it - is linked in the show notes at melrobbins.com/podcast.
