Summary

The humble sandwich has been around for thousands of years and eaten all over the world in one form or another. Guess how many sandwiches the average person eats in a year. Do you know why some sandwiches are called subs? Listen as I explore some fascinating sandwich facts to kickoff this episode. https://allthatsinteresting.com/sandwich-history Have you ever asked yourself: Why am I here? What is my purpose? Will my life really matter? What will my legacy be? Listen as I explore these and other questions with Brian Greene. Brian is a theoretical physicist, mathematician, professor at Columbia University and authored several books including, Until the End of Time: Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving Universe (https://amzn.to/2GsvlKO). If you have ever wondered about the meaning of life, you will want to hear my conversation with Brian. Why is it that we often run to hug people we haven’t seen in a while? Why do we tend to walk slower when we’re sad? And this is interesting – Parkinson’s patients tend to move slowly but they don’t have to. They could move faster and will move faster if there is a reason to. So what is going on here? What controls the speed at which people move? Reza Shadmehr is a professor of biomedical engineering and neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and author of the book Vigor: Neuroeconomics of Movement (https://amzn.to/3ladKpP) . He joins me to discuss this fascinating connection between what goes on in your brain that determines how quickly or slowly you move and why it matters. When it comes to trying to convince someone of something, there is one key ingredient that will make the process a lot easier. A lot of people miss this completely so I will explain what it is.
