Description

Even though you know money is filthy dirty, it can still make you feel good. This episode begins by explaining how the simple act of handling money can make you feel a lot better if you are feeling a bit down. And the weird thing is, it doesn’t even have to be your money. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/6199932/Counting-money-makes-people-feel-better-about-themselves.html When you walk into a tidy, clean and organized room, does it make you feel better? Calmer? It does for a lot of people. In fact, more order and less clutter can help you feel happier says Gretchen Rubin, host of the podcast, “Happier with Gretchen Rubin” and author of the book Outer Order Inner Calm: Declutter and Organize to Make Room for Happiness (https://amzn.to/2IB6HaC). Listen as Gretchen joins me to explain the psychology of order and how it relates to happiness. Plus she offers some great techniques to organize and create a calmer space. Most dog lovers do not hesitate to hug their dogs. It is a sign of affection. However, experts say dogs hate it and can cause them a lot of stress. Listen as I explain why it is not a good idea to hug your dog – in fact it can even be dangerous.https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/canine-corner/201604/the-data-says-dont-hug-the-dog To many people, the word “calculus” reminds them of a high school math class that was very difficult. However, calculus is so much more. Without it there might not be cell phones or GPS or television. Calculus helped find a treatment for AIDS and helped us discover Neptune. Steven Strogatz is a professor of Applied Mathematics at Cornell and author of the book Infinite Powers: How Calculus Reveals the Secrets of the Universe (https://amzn.to/2Vvl3zv).
