Summary

Summer brings ice cream, popsicles and other frozen treats – all of which can cause painful brain freeze. Why does that happen, and can you stop it? Listen as I explain what brain freeze is and a really good remedy for it. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/brain-freeze-why-does-ice-cream-give-you-headaches/ To make changes in your thoughts, personality and behavior takes a lot of work over a long period of time. Well, maybe for some things. However, there are some quick and simple strategies to tackle some more common psychological problems. Here to explain many of them is Richard Wiseman. He is a professor of psychology and the autor of several books including, 59 Seconds: Think a Little, Change A Lot (https://amzn.to/4jWvNh7) You spend a lot of your time living in your imagination. Daydreaming, mind wandering, reminiscing, anticipating – all happen in your imagination and those things can take up to half of your day. Joining me to take a look into how your imagination works is Adam Zeman. He is Honorary Fellow, Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences, at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and author of the book The Shape of Things Unseen: A New Science of Imagination (https://amzn.to/3Tfu3VH) Are you absolutely sure your car is not currently under a recall? Surprisingly many people don’t take their cars in for recall repairs. Consequently, many cars on the road are under a recall and the driver has no idea. Listen and I will tell you how to find out if your car is currently under a recall. And it will take less than a minute. https://www.autoblog.com/maintenance/consumers-dont-care-about-recalls Here is the website I mention in the story: www.SaferCar.gov Learn more about your ad choices.
