Podcast: Something You Should Know

Description: Most of us have had déjà vu – that feeling that what you are experiencing now, you have somehow experienced before. This episode begins with some interesting insight into what it is, why it happens and when it is most likely to occur. Source: Marie Jones author of The Déjà Vu Enigma (https://amzn.to/3xB94j3). Humans have the need to own things according to psychologist Bruce Hood, author of the book Possessed: Why We Want More Than We Need (https://amzn.to/3iRBpxv) Even when you were a child, you knew that your teddy bear or blanket belonged to you and only you. You owned it. As adults we not only like to own things, we like to own nice things and the more the better – which can sometimes get us in trouble. Listen as Bruce explains what it means to own something and why it feels good to be an owner. Does America have a cuisine? Sort of but it’s really made up of foods from other cultures that we have adapted and incorporated into our culture to suit our tastes according to David Page, author of the book Food Americana (https://amzn.to/3xy0EZO). David, who is an Emmy-award winning producer of food television programs takes us on a journey to explore the origins of some of our most popular American foods including pizza, ice cream, barbecue – and why the reason there is likely a Mexican restaurant not too far from you is all because of Taco Bell. Some days you just know you look fantastic. And have you ever noticed that on those days, life tends to go better for you? Listen as I explain why you do better when you look good. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0092656610000279 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
