Summary

Many people wish they were taller. Unfortunately there is no simple fix for that. But there are ways to LOOK taller and we start this episode with some effective techniques. http://www.esquire.com/style/mens-fashion/a37254/7-style-tips-that-will-make-you-look-taller/ No one likely taught you how to think. So when you have a problem to solve or need to come up with a solution - you just think the way you think. But what if you could think better? Tim Hurson author of the book Think Better https://amzn.to/2CzMTCn joins me to discuss a way to improve your thinking that can result in better thoughts, better ideas and better solutions. So what’s the deal with seedless watermelons? Where did they come from and why are there no seeds? And how do they grow new ones if there are no seeds to plant? I’ll unravel the mystery of seedless watermelons for you. http://mentalfloss.com/article/31211/where-do-seedless-watermelons-come Today, meal planning isn’t so much about foods we enjoy but rather foods that are supposed to be “good for you.” The problem is, that is a very strange way to eat. Barry Glassner, a sociology professor at the University of Southern California is author of a book The Gospel of Food: Why We Should Stop Worrying and enjoy What We Eat https://amzn.to/2wStk2R. He joins me to explain why our obsession with eating food with less salt, less sugar and fewer calories is flawed and why eating foods you enjoy has a lot of real benefits.

0:00.0	Today on something you should know, you can't make yourself taller, but you can look taller,
0:06.8	and I have simple ways to do that.
0:09.2	Then you probably don't think much about how you think, but you can actually improve your
0:14.4	thinking.
0:15.4	The inventor of brainstorming is a man by the name of Alex Nahes born in the 1950s, and
0:19.5	he used to say it's a whole lot easier to tame a wild idea than it is to invigorate an
0:25.0	idea that doesn't have any life in it in the first place.
0:27.2	So go wild, go crazy!
0:29.2	And what's the difference between watermelon and seedless watermelon?
0:33.5	I'll explain that, plus putting the joy back into eating, because the way we look at food
