Summary

Everyone snoops and eavesdrops. . It’s part of being human. This episode begins with a discussion on eavesdropping and snooping and why it is so hard to resist and what purpose it serves. ( Source: John L. Locke author of Eavesdropping (https://amzn.to/2O7an63) Financial advice often begins with the admonition that you need to stop spending so much - no more credit cards, save more - spend less, you know the drill. Maybe that is the is the wrong way to look at it. Maybe you should spend even more on the things that matter and mercilessly cut back on the things that don’t. That is the premise behind my guest Ramit Sethi’s advice that he says will make you rich without feeling deprived along the way so you can still have you morning latte without guilt. Ramit Sethi is author of the very popular book I Will Teach You To Be Rich (https://amzn.to/2A7GqKG) . There are so many things that influence your thoughts and actions that you are totally unaware of. For example, If your neighbor first buys the car you are thinking of buying, you are less likely to buy it. If you are negotiating with someone, you are more likely to be successful if you mirror their posture and behavior. And there are so many more things that completely escape your radar. Listen as my guest, Dr. Jonah Berger explains. Jonah is a professor at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and author of the book Invisible Influence: The Hidden Forces that Shape Behavior (https://amzn.to/2V9oZDa). Some things just taste better frozen. Snickers bars and Reese’s peanut butter cups are obvious examples but listen to hear other common foods you really need to try frozen - because they are even more delicious and you probably never knew. http://www.prevention.com/food/12-foods-that-taste-even-better-frozen PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
