Summary

What is the best way to sign-off an email? It actually depends on what you want the outcome to be. However, if you are hoping to get a reply, there is one sign-off that is more likely to get the reader to respond. This episode begins by telling you what that is. http://www.businessinsider.com/best-way-to-end-an-email-2017-2 Ever wondered why your brain in your head as opposed to somewhere else in your body? Why do human eyes face forward but a fish’s eyes are on the side of its head? If you’ve ever pondered these kinds of questions about the human body, you are about to get some answers from Mark Changizi. Mark is a cognitive scientist who has a YouTube series about science (https://www.youtube.com/user/mchangizi). He has also authored some science books – one being The Vision Revolution: How the Latest Research Overturns Everything We Thought We Knew About Human Vision (https://amzn.to/2SwLNMs) If you live long enough, you are going to get some wrinkles. However, there are ways to minimize how many wrinkles you get and how prominent they are. Listen as I discuss some expert advice from Good Housekeeping magazine and I’ll also tell you the best way to determine how many wrinkles you will likely get if you haven’t gotten them yet. http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/beauty/anti-aging/things-you-didnt-know-about-wrinkles Whenever you make an important buying decision, a lot of factors go into it – some factors you may not even be aware of. Often people put stock in online reviews before deciding to buy. But do customer reviews really tell you very much? That’s what I discuss with Bart de Langhe, a behavioral scientist and a marketing professor at ESADE Business School in Barcelona, Spain and an expert on consumer buying behavior. If you enjoy our conversation, you can watch his TED talk on the subject here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=13&v=d8TxoQWFW7E&feature=emb_logo PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
