    The Promise and Peril of Disruptive Technology & How Being in Nature Changes You
    Sep 18 2025
    Who hasn’t craved something sweet and delicious? You try to resist, but your brain keeps insisting. Surprisingly, there’s a simple trick that can make that craving disappear almost instantly. Listen as I reveal the science-backed way to quiet your sweet tooth. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/sweet-tooth-disgusting-food_n_55afe669e4b0a9b9485360de Disruption is the force that reshapes the world — from the printing press and gunpowder to smartphones, AI, and driverless cars. Innovation has always been both thrilling and unsettling, and today it’s accelerating faster than ever. To help us understand how past disruptions can teach us about the changes happening now, I talk with Scott Anthony, clinical professor of strategy at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. Widely regarded as one of the world’s top innovation thinkers, Scott is author of Epic Disruptions: 11 Innovations That Shaped Our Modern World (https://amzn.to/45ZjnQO). Your mom was right when she told you to go outside and play — but science now shows that the benefits of nature go far beyond fresh air. Spending time outdoors can improve your brainpower, your physical health, and even your social connections. Marc Berman, leading environmental neuroscientist and founder of the Environmental Neuroscience Laboratory at the University of Chicago, joins me to explain just how powerful nature can be. He’s the author of Nature and the Mind: The Science of How Nature Improves Cognitive, Physical, and Social Well-Being (https://amzn.to/47YYeZy). Why do so many people choke under pressure — even when performing tasks they’ve practiced countless times? When the stakes are high, nerves can sabotage your performance. But there’s a proven strategy to help keep calm and perform at your best. I’ll explain how it works in this final segment.

  • How to Harness Your Intuition & The Surprising Science Hidden in Music

    How to Harness Your Intuition & The Surprising Science Hidden in Music
    Sep 15 2025
    It might sound strange, but the way you evaluate your relationship could actually depend on the chair you’re sitting in. Multiple experiments suggest that posture and stance can influence how you judge your marriage or partnership. In the opening segment, I explain this fascinating connection. https://archive.nytimes.com/well.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/07/08/how-your-stance-may-test-your-marriage We all talk about intuition — that gut feeling when you know what to do without being able to explain why. But is intuition a real thing, or just a name we give to quick decision-making? And if it is real, can you actually strengthen it? To explore these questions, I’m joined by Laura Huang, professor of Management and Organizational Development at Northeastern University, who has also taught at Harvard Business School and the University of Pennsylvania. She’s the author of You Already Know: The Science of Mastering Your Intuition (https://amzn.to/45H7iRt). Music isn’t just art — it’s built on math and science. From Einstein using music for inspiration, to 50,000-year-old instruments unearthed by archaeologists, to the surprising role astronomy plays in the sound of the world’s most expensive violins — the links between music and science are everywhere. David Darling, science writer, music producer, and author of A Perfect Harmony: Music, Mathematics and Science (https://amzn.to/45H7zUv) joins me to uncover the hidden science behind the music we love. Finally, as summer fades, so do the mosquitoes — but have you ever wondered why some people seem to get bitten far more than others? The answer lies in how mosquitoes find their targets — and surprisingly, drinking just one common beverage can make you a mosquito magnet. I explain the science in this final segment. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0028991 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

    Speed reading might sound impressive, but research shows that slowing down can actually improve comprehension, retention, and enjoyment. In this opening segment, we explore why reading at a slower pace could be the real key to getting the most out of your books and articles. https://www.bustle.com/p/7-reasons-slow-reading-is-actually-a-good-thing-because-being-a-speed-reader-is-overrated-73092 On average, people juggle about 22 goals at any given time — but chasing all of them often leads to frustration and burnout. My guest, Jon Acuff, bestselling speaker and author of nine books, including All It Takes is a Goal (https://amzn.to/3PtSiOF), shares a fresh, motivating approach to goal setting. Learn how to identify the goals that truly matter, let go of the ones that don’t, and build momentum toward the ones that can change your life. “It’s raining cats and dogs,” “go cold turkey,” “know the ropes” — we say these things all the time, but rarely stop to ask where they originated. Caroline Taggart, longtime publishing professional and author of Humble Pie and Cold Turkey: English Expressions and Their Origins (https://amzn.to/3ZazBTw), takes us on a fun journey into the surprising and sometimes bizarre backstories of the phrases we use every day. Winning arguments isn’t easy — but there’s one simple strategy that dramatically improves your chances. In this closing segment, I share the key insight from Mike Nichols, author of The Lost Art of Listening (https://amzn.to/3ErzkSy), that can help you argue smarter, connect better, and maybe even change a few minds.
