Summary

Heart disease is the #1 killer in the world. While there are many things you can do to reduce your risk, this episode begins by revealing a simple way to cut the risk more than 30%. And it’s all in your attitude. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/a-positive-mindset-can-help-your-heart-2019021415999 Have you ever found yourself overthinking? It’s when you think through an idea or a goal or a career move over and over, imagining every variable and possible outcome. The result is you don’t really do anything or take any action – you just keep overthinking. Apparently, most of us do it and some point and it can really get in the way of your progress and success. So when does normal thinking become overthinking? And how do you stop it? Joining me to discuss this is Jon Acuff. He is a speaker and author of 9 books including Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking (https://amzn.to/3f2FI9o). Several prominent people (including Stephen Hawking) have predicted that artificial intelligence (AI) could be dangerous. That we could create machines that are so smart and so sophisticated they could control us instead of the other way around. Is that really possible? Can we actually create machines that think on their own. Probably not according to Gerd Gigerenzer Director Emeritus at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and the award winning author of several books including, How to Stay Smart In A Smart World (https://amzn.to/3SnGADW). What may be a more interesting discussion is how machines and AI are changing our behavior – and it is already happening. Fall allergies are a real problem for a lot of us. Listen as I explain some things that will help minimize the symptoms by keeping the allergens out of your house. https://www.webmd.com/allergies/allergy-proof-your-environment PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
