Summary

Being neat is generally considered a good thing. But is neater, better? This episode begins with a look at the difference between neat and messy people and the pros and cons of each. Source: David H. Freeman author of A Perfect Mess (https://amzn.to/3X6IsnK) What is the difference between all the soaps, lotions and potions of skin care products? After all, there are so many and all at very different prices. Are the expensive ones really better? What about the ingredients – are they safe? Do any of these products really get rid of wrinkles? Here to discuss this is dermatologist Dr. Fayne Frey who has been independently testing skin care products for years. Listen as she explains what products are absolutely necessary and how to choose the best products for yourself. Dr. Frey is author of the book The Skincare Hoax (https://amzn.to/3UGFhkV) . Her website is https://www.fryface.com We like to measure things. In fact, we like to measure everything. That’s why we have inches, miles, grams, meters, feet ounces and all the rest. By measuring everything, we make sense of the world. And how those measurements came to be is quite interesting. Here to explain the history and science of measurement is James Vincent, senior reporter for The Verge and author of a book called Beyond Measure: The Hidden History of Measurement from Cubits to Quantum Constants (https://amzn.to/3V1LGaj). One interesting way to tell if someone is lying is to listen to how they tell a story. When people are making things up, they tend to weave the story differently than when someone is recalling a true story. Listen as I explain the difference. http://lifehacker.com/5959543/true-or-false-pay-attention-to-structure-to-tell-if-a-story-is-made-up PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
