Summary

When people get angry, it is pretty common for them to get upset and maybe start yelling at whoever made them mad. That is a bad idea. This episode begins with a discussion how on to use anger to your advantage, so you get what you want without everyone getting mad at each other. Source: Thomas A. Schweich, author of Staying Power (https://amzn.to/34Qrb85). You and I can look at the same thing yet see it differently. We all look at the world through filters and biases that cause us to see things in our own way. So, your perception of the world is different than mine and everyone else’s. Interestingly, we seldom think about this. Instead, we tend to believe there is an objective reality that everyone sees in the same way. But it is just not true according to Dennis Proffitt, professor of psychology at the University of Virginia and author of the book Perception: How Our Bodies Shape Our Minds (https://amzn.to/3TvRsjU). Listen as he discusses why you have your unique perceptions and why they are different from everyone else’s. How much time do you spend on your smartphone every day? Probably more than you would like to admit. For many of us, our cellphones are our constant companion and something you interact with many times each day. You might even go as far as saying that you have a relationship with your phone -yes? Here with some interesting insight into that relationship is Tchiki Davis, PhD. Tchiki is a technology consultant who writes the Click Here for Happiness blog for Psychology Today and she is author of Outsmart Your Smartphone: Conscious Tech Habits for Finding Happiness, Balance, and Connection IRL (https://amzn.to/2GQwxIa) When was the last time you sent someone a handwritten note? If it has been a while, you need to hear why you need to start doing that again. It turns out the handwritten note can be very powerful when done correctly. https://www.handwrytten.com/resources/the-power-of-handwritten-notes/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
