Summary

How can drinking hot cocoa from an orange mug taste different from drinking hot cocoa from a blue mug? I’ll explain some interesting research that shows how color affects our perception of taste - and the best mugs for different drinks. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2257063/Study-finds-hot-chocolate-tastes-better-orange-mugs.html It is amazing how many people consider themselves shy. In fact, almost all of us feel shy in certain situations. But why are some people more shy than others – are they born that way or is it something they learn? Most importantly, what can shy people do so that their shyness doesn’t interfere in their life or success? Bernardo Carducci, Director of The Shyness Research Institute, at Indiana University Southeast and author of The Pocket Guide to Making Successful Small Talk (http://amzn.to/2CCzcOw) offers some incredible insight into becoming what he calls a successful shy person. Also, how you sign your name reveals a lot about you. Listen as I discuss a fascinating study that looked at signatures of big bosses (like Donald Trump, Barack Obama and Richard Branson, to name a few) and what their signature reveal about their personality. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2275180/Does-boss-sign-flourish-CEOs-big-signatures-likely-narcissists-study-reveals.html#ixzz2KY54sNuh Maybe you are thinking about a New Year’s resolution for 2021. It always seems like a good idea but as we all know, most resolutions fail. So maybe there is a better way. Caroline Arnold, author of the book, Small Move, Big Change: Using Microresolutions to Transform Your Life Permanently (http://amzn.to/2COg6YV) reveals a simple, easy and virtually foolproof way to set and achieve a resolution – or any goal for that matter.
