The Importance of Small Talk & Why You Do What You Do

Why do you have eyebrows? Like everything else, they must have a purpose – there must be a reason. Well, actually there are three reasons. I begin this episode by explaining what they are. https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/58424/why-do-we-have-eyebrows When you think about it, every relationship you have ever had, started with small talk. Whether personal or professional, every encounter starts this way if it is ever to develop into something. Still, a lot of people claim to hate small talk and many of us feel as if we are not very good at it. Here to fix that is Debra Fine. She is probably the number one expert on small talk, and she is author of the book, The Fine Art of Small Talk (https://amzn.to/3wSdl3t). Listen and she will explain some powerful yet simple techniques so you will never be uncomfortable making conversation with anyone, anywhere, anytime. Ever done something and later wondered why you did it? Or wondered why you reacted to something the way you did? A lot of what drives our actions and reactions is under the radar and may seem mystifying. Here to explain why that happens and how it works is Helena Boschi. She is a psychologist and author of a book called Why We Do What We Do (https://amzn.to/3RE47kL) . Listen as she explains some of the mechanisms of the brain that cause you to do things or react to things that may seem hard to understand. If you take a liquid medication, it is pretty easy to just grab a spoon out of your silverware drawer to measure it. Bad idea. Listen as I explain a couple of common mistakes people make when taking medicines at home that can really mess things up. https://www.hmpgloballearningnetwork.com/site/pln/blogs/pln/michael-cawley-pharmd-rrt-cpft-fccm/december-31-2014/medication-errors-among-children-are PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
