Summary

Dog owners love it when their dog kisses them on the face. But is it really safe? This episode begins by explaining just how clean a dog’s mouth is and whether you should be so intimate with your pet. https://nypost.com/2022/04/06/your-dogs-kisses-could-contain-deadly-superbug-study-says/ People say they love their car or their house or maybe even a pair of shoes. But is it really love? Maybe, according to Aaron Ahuvia, professor of marketing at the University of Michigan who is considered to be the most widely published and cited expert on non-interpersonal love. Listen as he talks about our love of inanimate objects and activities what it all really means. Aaron is author of a book on the topic called The Things We Love (https://amzn.to/3z4992k) Morbid though it may be, I suspect everyone wonders when they will die and what they will die from. What’s interesting is that if you actually understand what is most likely to kill you can prevent or at least postpone it from happening. That’s according to Shelia Buff author of the book You Bet Your Life: Your Guide to Deadly Risk (https://amzn.to/3ARYZ6b). Join me to hear Shelia explain the common and not-so-common ways people die – and why. And maybe how they could've avoided it. For many people, finding love is hard enough – but finding it the second or third time can seem almost impossible. Listen as I explain what one psychologist says can help anyone find true love – again. Source: Finding Love Again by Dr. Terry Orbuch (https://amzn.to/3z0xiH4) PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
