Summary

Have you ever thought your relationship with your cellphone was a bit over the top? This episode begins with a look at how Americans use their cellphone, how often they check it, where they use it, how they use it and how they feel if they don’t have it. Then you can see where you fit in with everyone else. https://www.reviews.org/mobile/cell-phone-addiction/ There is an assumption that the reason people are overweight is that they eat too much food. That the obesity problem could be solved if only people ate less. But what if the answer was not for people to eat less but for people to eat better? That’s the theory you are about to be hear as explained by Mark Schatzker. He is an award-winning writer and is a writer-in-residence at the Modern Diet and Physiology Research Center at Yale University. He is also author of the book The End Of Craving : Recovering the Lost Wisdom of Eating Well (https://amzn.to/3QPFS1l) Who doesn’t love a good mystery? It may just be human nature that we like to solve mysteries, figure out whodunnit or how that magic trick was done or any other hard to figure out problem. We love mysteries. Think of all the TV shows, movies, podcasts and books that revolve around a mystery that needs to be solved. Joining me to explain why mysteries are so appealing and how we can all use mystery to our advantage is Jonah Lehrer. He is a writer journalist and author of the book Mystery: A Seduction, A Strategy, A Solution (https://amzn.to/3QvN6aZ). If you go grocery shopping on a hot summer day, how long can the groceries sit in the car without spoiling? Is it safe to run another errand or two? Listen and I’ll explain how long the experts say you have to get the food home and into the fridge https://www.budget101.com/frugal-living/598158-how-long-can-groceries-stay-in-a-car/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
