Summary

When you have a smart phone, you can take a photo of anything, anytime, anywhere. So this episode starts with one very simple piece of advice that can make those pictures to take more interesting and more memorable. And it is really, really simple. http://photoinf.com/Golden_Mean/Dale_Cotton/Daystar_Lessons_in_Composition.htm Love is tricky business. Despite our desire and need for finding love - we are not really good at it. Perhaps that is because we are looking for the wrong characteristics according to Ty Tashiro. Ty is a psychologist, social scientist and author of the book, The Science of Happily Ever After: What Really Matters in the Search for True Love (https://amzn.to/3o3IWtO). Listen as he explains what turns out to be really important but is often overlooked in creating a lasting love relationship.  We are taught from am early age that it is important to learn and think. Yet just as important as learning and thinking may be UN-learning and RE-thinking. Adam Grant is an organizational psychologist at Wharton, where he has been the top-rated professor for seven straight years. He is host of the very successful TED podcast called Work Life with Adam Grant and his latest book is called Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know (https://amzn.to/3o51NVk). Adam joins me to explain how unlearning is so important in every area of life where the old way just doesn’t work anymore.  There are different brands of gasoline and there are different prices. So does it matter what kind of gas you put in your car. Listen to discover if gasoline is gasoline - or not. https://www.thoughtco.com/does-it-matter-where-get-gas-607905 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
