Reviews

3.6 out of 5 stars from 23 ratings
  • I wish each episode was more focused on a specific topic, that there was more advice based on large-scale surveys rather than so many anecdotes from individuals about what worked for themselves, and that the speakers would jump into the topic from the start instead of leading with irrelevant things such as the weather.
