Summary

We all have regrets. And when you stop and think about it, having regrets doesn’t help you very much. This episode begins with some simple strategies that will help anyone let go of some of those big regrets we all have that we tend to play over and over in our heads for no good reason. Source Hamilton Beazley author of the book No Regrets (https://amzn.to/3rfuf7k) You dream every night. You may not remember your dreams - in fact you probably don’t remember most of them. But you do dream. Why do we dream? What purpose does it serve? Do your dreams mean anything? Joining me to discuss all this is Antonio Zadra, professor in the Department of Psychology at the Université de Montréal and researcher at the Center for Advanced Research in Sleep Medicine. He is also author of the book When Brains Dream (https://amzn.to/2Yxwvu8). While he dismisses most “dream interpretation” he believes there are a lot of important things to understand about your dreams you likely haven't heard before. Listen and find out more. Negotiation scares a lot of people. It can seem full of tricks and schemes that are designed to screw the other guy so you can get what you want. Many of us just don’t feel comfortable with that idea. Negotiation doesn’t have to be that way according to Dr. Leigh Thompson, a professor at Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and author of ten books including Negotiating the Sweet Spot: The Art of Leaving Nothing on the Table (https://amzn.to/3iZO9A4). Listen as she offers up some proven ways that anyone can be a better negotiator. Given that we all negotiate every day, this is important advice we can all use. Heating your house costs a lot of money. So any little bit you can save has to help. Listen as I explain a few simple ways that will help you keep a little more of the heat in - and the cold out so you save on your next heating bill. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/22/smarter-living/save-money-energy-heating-bills.html PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
