Summary

How dangerous can a pair of shoes be? Really dangerous, particularly if they have big heels. We begin this episode looking at the long story of high heel terror plus other interesting facts about women’s shoes. https://reut.rs/3rXNqoR & https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/05/150521120924.htm Most day-to-day decisions you make based on your own judgment. Things such as what career path to take, who to marry, what to do to make yourself happy and other life-changing decisions you make all on your own. However, for all those and other decisions there is solid data that can help. Here to explain this is economist, and former Google data scientist, Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, author of the book Don’t Trust Your Gut: Using Data to Get What You Really Want in Life (https://amzn.to/3kiHySZ). What’s the difference between rain and a rain shower? What causes dew and frost? Can clouds predict the weather if you know how to read them? These are some of the questions I explore with Tristan Gooley author of The Secret World of Weather (https://amzn.to/3MFQBcv). This discussion will change the way you look at the weather. There are some people who just can’t seem to stop working. They work on weekends, holidays and even while on vacation. That might sound like dedication, but it is actually a problem. Listen as I reveal the dangers of working too much and what you should really be doing with your time off. https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/169/5/596/143020 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!
