Summary

No one likes to throw away milk because it went bad. What you may not know is that there is a little trick that can help your milk last longer and I begin this episode by telling you what it is. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7673247/The-ways-groceries-fresh-longer.html Have you ever asked those big questions like - Who are we? Why are we here? Are there aliens out there? Will the universe end one day? These are some of the very good questions I discuss with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, Director of the Hayden Planetarium in NYC, host of the podcast StarTalk (https://www.startalkradio.net/) and author of the book Cosmic Queries (https://amzn.to/3bp2dkr). You may not realize it but your life is full of self-fulfilling prophecies. Listen as I explain how they work and how powerful they are in your life when it comes to your goals and dreams. Source: Dr. Frank Lawlis author of Retrain Your Brain (https://amzn.to/30jnju7) No one likes pain but it actually serves a very useful purpose. Sociologist Margee Kerr studies pain and she joins me to reveal what pain is, why some people have more tolerance for pain than others and how you can subjectively change the way you perceive pain. Margee is author of the book Ouch!: Why Pain Hurts, and Why it Doesn’t Have To (https://amzn.to/30lfa8F). PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
