Summary

Being healthy takes a lot of work. But maybe it doesn’t always have to. This episode begins with some simple yet effective techniques that will help your overall health – and they only take a minute and hardly any effort. http://www.menshealth.com/health/ways-to-be-healthier Why does time only go in one way? Every moment we move forward into the future, but we cannot go back into the past. How come? And what about intelligent life on other planets – and will we ever be able to travel to other planets or even other galaxies? If so, when? Joining me to discuss these big questions is Paul Sutter. He is an astrophysicist at Stony Brook University, host of the Ask a Spaceman podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ask-a-spaceman/id958825741) and author of the book How to Die in Space (https://amzn.to/3iXh9rP). Are you good at delivering an apology? Most of us never had any formal instruction on how to apologize. Yet, when you think about it, a good apology can save a relationship. Molly Howes is a Harvard trained clinical psychologist and author of the book A Good Apology: Four Steps to Make Things Right (https://amzn.to/3euUzmN) and she has some great advice on how to apologize to make everyone feel better. The snooze alarm on just about every alarm clock is exactly 9 minutes. Not 10 – not 8 but 9. Why? There is actually a really interesting reason as I explain it in this episode. https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/22761/why-does-snooze-button-give-you-only-9-more-minutes-sleep PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
