Summary

Have you ever noticed how great ideas and solutions often come to you in the shower? This episode begins with an explanation as to why that often happens to so many people. https://www.headspace.com/articles/shower-epiphanies Is love an emotion? Not according to Anna Machin an evolutionary anthropologist at the Department of Experimental Psychology at Oxford University, and author of the book Why We Love: The New Science Behind Our Closest Relationships (https://amzn.to/3SzC8mp). Anna believes love is a need - as essential as food and water. Listen and discover why humans need love in their lives, what purpose it serves, how it improves your health and longevity and why some people are better at love than others. Death happens all around us. And one day we too will die. Still, it is a difficult topic for many of us to discuss. But not for Caitlin Doughty. Caitlin is a mortician, funeral home owner and best selling author. She joins me to discuss some of the fascinating things about death like; what happens if the guy next to you on an airplane dies? Why are bodies embalmed? Do hair and fingernails continue to grow after death? Can you keep your father’s skull after he dies? And so much more. Caitlin’s latest book is Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? (https://amzn.to/3SArg7C). Where do you put your fruits and vegetables? It seems that the produce drawer in your fridge is where a lot of food goes to rot and die. There is a better place to keep produce so it actually get eaten. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/04/120430140027.htm PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS! We really like The Jordan Harbinger Show!
