So how in the world could the clothes you wear make you measurably smarter, stronger, and give you better posture? Well, you're about to find out as we begin this episode of Something You Should Know. Hi and welcome. So if you want to be smarter... you wear a white coat. You just have to make sure it's the right kind of white coat. In an experiment, volunteers were given an intelligence test while wearing a white lab jacket. The group who believed the jacket belonged to one of the doctors scored higher than the other group who were told that the jacket was a painter's smock. The study had some other interesting results. Women wearing a white blouse looked and felt more innocent. Men in black t-shirts were a little stronger.
People had more energy when wearing bright colored clothing. And those who wore formal attire had better posture, grammar, and more poise. And that is something you should know. Some days just go better than other days. On some days you're on top of the world. Everything goes well. It's a great day. Other days, you struggle. Things don't go your way. The motivation's not there. You make mistakes.
What are the techniques for having a great day every day?
If only there was a way to smooth things out, to make the day go better, go more your way. Well, there are some things actually, proven techniques to help you in the moment so you have a better day and better outcomes throughout the day.

Thank you so much, Mike. It's a real treat to be here.
So you have an interesting message because, you know, I have good days and bad days. I think most people do where, you know, you're just on your game. Things are going great. Other days, just kind of struggles to get through the day. So what's your message here?
Well, if there's one thing that I want people to know, it's that you can queue up your best day at a moment's notice. So often we feel like our best day is subject to whether or not we got a good night's sleep or whether everything's going well at home. But the truth is neuroscience has revealed some great strategies that help you make the most of the brain you've got given the day you've got.
