Summary

If you were ever told to sit up straight and watch your posture, that was really good advice. Listen as I begin this episode discussing how your posture can actually change your thoughts and behavior for the better. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/thriving101/201101/how-succeed-having-good-posture 36% of all Americans, including 61% of young adults and 51% of mothers with young children say they feel “serious loneliness” according to at least one study. In fact, just about everyone has felt that sense of loneliness and despair at some point. Humans are not designed to be isolated. We are supposed to be connected with others. Isolation and loneliness are the cause of so many problems in society. Joining me to discuss why loneliness is so destructive and ways we can alleviate the pain it causes is psychiatrist Dr. Edward Hallowell author of the book Connect (https://amzn.to/3GxgwQw). If you have ever felt the pain of loneliness, you will want to hear what he has to say. Dr Hallowell also has a new, bestselling book out I promised him I would tell you about on the topic of ADHD called ADHD 2.0 (https://amzn.to/3AVKgVI) Grocery store shopping hasn’t changed much since the first American supermarket was unveiled in 1931. Interestingly, the way people purchase groceries is starting to change faster in other countries than here in the U.S. Listen as I speak with Paco Underhill, one of the world’s leading authorities on consumer trends and behavior as he discusses how we buy our food now, how it is starting to change and how other countries are way ahead of us when it comes to the way food is sold and purchased. Paco is a frequent contributor to The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times and authored several books including his latest, How We Eat (https://amzn.to/3GkmILz). What gift do you get for your Valentine? It can be tricky. Listen as I reveal the results of a survey that asked people what they would really like to receive for Valentine’s Day. I’ll also tell you who would prefer to get nothing at all. https://today.yougov.com/topics/consumer/articles-reports/2019/02/07/valentines-day-gift-ideas-wife-girlfriend-husband PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
