Summary

Teenage lovers hold hands but as people get older, we see it less and less. And that may be a bad thing. This episode begins by discussing the benefits of holding hands with someone you love. http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/24/the-brain-on-love/ You have likely faced a challenging situation and wished you had been able to bounce back better and faster. It seems that some people are just more resilient in the face adversity. Is it something you are born with or can you learn to become more resilient? Listen as I discuss this with Akash Karia. Akash is a keynote speaker and author of several books including 7 Things Resilient People Do Differently (https://amzn.to/2TGATVg) Why do some people love going on wild rollercoasters or enjoy scary movies or love jumping out of airplanes and others of us would never dream of doing those things? That’s the topic of discussion today with Ken Carter, a board-certified clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at Oxford College of Emory University and author of the book Buzz!: Inside the Minds of Thrill-Seekers, Daredevils, and Adrenaline Junkies (https://amzn.to/35FIwCn) Sooner or later that check engine light will come on and you will immediately start to wonder what’s wrong. And sometimes it is nothing. In fact, many times it is nothing. Listen as I reveal one of the most likely reason it comes on and what to do about it – and it has nothing to do with your engine.
