  • Heartbreak and divorce

    I’m listening to the guy who is saying, it was a bunch of little things that led to the divorce, I wonder if his wife would say the same thing. I do congratulate him on his self reflective and admitting that he was the one in the relationship that was not caring for his wife as much as he should. I can relate with the wife. more

  • Why not push Sapolsky on obesity?

    If obesity is genetic, why were there so many fewer morbidly obese Americans 50 years ago? Why do I suddenly see so many people over 300 pounds? Genetics is not a valid scientific conclusion here. more

  • Life Antidote

    The topics covered on this show stay with me throughout the week, and not because they always resonate with something I can relate to, but because the stories and perspectives are so rich and human that they often take me outside of my comfort zone and challenge me in ways I hadn’t considered or would not normally choose to focus on. Thinking outside of my comfort zone is good.
