If you have siblings, they have had an important impact on you, even if you don’t realize it. This episode starts with a discussion about how brothers and sisters affect your personality and character throughout your life. https://www.tlc.com/life---relationships/study-says-having-a-sister-makes-you-more-optimistic-kinder-and-happier
You have probably had at least one experience of déjà vu – maybe several. It’s that feeling that what is happening now, you have experienced before. What causes it? Here to discuss this with me is Anne Cleary, a professor at Colorado State University where she studies the phenomenon of déjà vu. She is also author of a book called The Déjà Vu Experience (https://amzn.to/3ErC6Fm) and has a TED Talk on the subject that you can access here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFAvUkjba-Q.
As you know, you should brush and floss your teeth every single day. Do you? It is a worthwhile exercise because it appears to be good for your brain. Listen as I explore the connection between mental health and dental health. https://www.babylondentalcare.com/flossing-your-teeth-may-protect-against-cognitive-decline/
It turns out that almost every action you take is driven by your emotions. Whether it’s what food you eat, what movie you watch or what job you decide to take – these things are largely driven by how you feel. And that has been true for every decision by everyone throughout history. Human history is really a history of emotions. Richard Firth-Godbehere is a leading expert on emotions and he is the author of a book called A Human History of Emotion: How the Way We Feel Built the World We Know (https://amzn.to/3Bqp9K3) . Listen and you will be amazed by how your emotions truly govern your life.
