  • The Secrets to Being a Successful Adult & Building Your Own Mental Fitness
    Mar 31 2025
    You know that feeling you get when you eat comfort food? There is something magical about it. This episode begins by exploring why some foods become comfort food while other food does not and what causes us to feel so fondly about certain foods but not others. https://www.buffalo.edu/news/releases/2015/03/052.html What are the secrets to being a successful adult? That’s a hard question to answer but Gretchen Rubin joins me to take a swing at it. Gretchen is wildly successful expert on happiness having written books on the topic and she is also host of the podcast Happier with Gretchen Rubin. (https://gretchenrubin.com/podcasts/). Her latest book is called Secrets of Adulthood: Simple Truths for Our Complex Lives (https://amzn.to/3RutUfP). What’s fun is that Gretchen writes about adulthood in aphorisms – short saying that say a lot. Here’s one to give you a sample: "Don’t do something to make yourself feel better if it is only going to make you feel worse.” Listen as Gretchen frames adulthood in these easy to digest nuggets and offers some valuable insight. Do you have good mental health? What does that even mean – to have good mental health? That is what Dr. Drew Ramsey is here to discuss> He is a board-certified psychiatrist, and pioneer in nutritional psychiatry and mental fitness and an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University. Dr. Ramsey says there is strong evidence that our lifestyle can have a big impact on mental health and that we can do things to build our mental fitness in much the same way as we can improve our physical fitness. Dr. Ramsey is author of the book Healing the Modern Brain: Nine Tenets to Build Mental Fitness and Revitalize Your Mind (https://amzn.to/4j8hqXf). You need to drink more water! It is common advice, and it turns out to be pretty solid.

  • The Backstories of Your Favorite Music & Money Mastery in a Changing World - SYSK Choice
    Mar 29 2025
    The clothes you wear project an image to others. But those same clothes you wear influence you as well. Listen and discover how different clothes and different colors you wear change the way you act and even how you think of yourself. https://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/03/science/clothes-and-self-perception.html Think of all the different kinds of popular music there are: country, rock, hip-hop, pop, R&B, jazz and more. All that music came from somewhere. And those musical origins tell some fascinating stories. If you enjoy music, listen to my conversation with Kelefa Sanneh. He is a writer for The New Yorker, former pop music critic for the New York Times, contributor to the CBS Sunday Morning program and author of the book Major Labels: A History of Popular Music in Seven Genres (https://amzn.to/3npafT2). You are going to hear some great stories! Who hasn’t found themselves in money trouble at some point? One big reason why that happens is that people don’t closely examine how much money they earn or how they spend it. Interestingly, even people who think they do, often do not – according to my guest Jill Schlesinger. Jill is a certified financial planner, award winning business analyst for CBS News, host of the Jill on Money podcast and radio show and author of the book The Great Money Reset (https://amzn.to/3JGJ91e). If you want to get some sound financial advice and ways to get a clear view of your financial life, you’ll want to hear what Jill has to say. A lot of Italian food tastes even better the next day with one big exception – pizza! While it may never be as good as fresh pizza, there is a way to reheat it that will bring that pizza back to life. Listen as I explain how to do it. https://www.americastestkitchen.com/cooksillustrated/how_tos/6453-the-best-way-to-revive-leftover-pizza PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!! FACTOR: Eat smart with Factor!

  • Why Accidents Happen & Where to Find Courage When You Need It
    Mar 27 2025
    Wisdom comes with age. That’s a common belief – but is it necessarily true? Can you acquire wisdom when you are young? This episode begins by looking at the science of wisdom, where it comes from and when it shows up. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8493820/ Doesn’t it seem like the world is safer? Cars are safer, equipment is safer, people wear helmets, warning signs are everywhere. So it makes sense to believe that we are safer today than ever before but that’s not true according to my guest. Steve Casner is a research psychologist and NASA scientist. He is author of the book, Careful: A User's Guide to Our Injury-Prone Minds (https://amzn.to/4j74GjN). Listen as he explains how and why accidents have been getting worse lately. While you have surely done things in your life that required courage, you can probably recall other times when you wished you had the courage to do something differently – to speak up, to make a move, to do something! But you didn’t. How can you be courageous when you need to be? Listen to my guest, Jenny Wood. She is a former Google executive, speaker, and airplane pilot. Her writing has been featured in Harvard Business Review, Entrepreneur, Inc., and Forbes. Jenny is author of the book Wild Courage: Go After What You Want and Get It (https://amzn.to/4iNpYCJ). Yes or no questions can be very telling when you want to figure out if someone is telling the truth. Actually, it’s not the question so much as how people answer it that can raise some red flags. Listen as I explain how to use yes or no questions to get a better sense of someone’s truthfulness. https://www.inc.com/jack-schafer/an-fbi-agent-on-how-to-detect-deception.html PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

Great

The host brings out fascinating topics and outstanding experts, and it should not be 4 stars just because it's hard to understand or because the listener has an excuse such as "Meh I'm korean and I'm so proud that I'm gonna show it off by taking off stars"

Interesting topics and easy to listen

The host Mike Carruthers picks interesting topics. I really enjoyed his last week’s podcast that talked about how to hold effective meetings. His podcasts help me choose my next audiobook. Plus the host asks great questions to the presenters and has a pleasant voice that is easy to listen too. I highly recommend this podcast, I listen to it when I do the dishes or other chores throughout the house, or during my commute.
