Summary

Ever have a night where your dreams seem really vivid and maybe even disturbing? This episode begins by looking at the typical causes of really weird and vivid dreams. https://www.livestrong.com/article/13773031-vivid-dreams/ It may be a tough sell in our culture but being humble can actually be a powerful and effective way to build confidence, strengthen relationships and achieve success. That’s according to Daryl R. Van Tongeren, an associate professor of psychology at Hope College and author of the book Humble: Free Yourself from the Traps of a Narcissistic World (https://amzn.to/3QCxemC). Daryl joins me to explain how a little humility can go a long way to improving anyone’s life. When you look up at the sky at night, do you ever wonder what a star actually is, how it was formed and how it got there? Or how planets and moons form? Are there other planets out there in space that can sustain life? Here to explain some of the mysteries of the night sky is Emily Levesque. She is a professor of astronomy at the University of Washington and author of the book The Last Stargazers: The Enduring Story of Astronomy's Vanishing Explorers (https://amzn.to/3zQ6oAM). Summer is the time for sandals and flip flops and other open-toe shoes. There is just one little problem. And that is, you are picking up some of the grossest things imaginable on your toes that you then track into your house. Listen as I explain the problem and simple solution.
