What Makes You Afraid & The Amazing Way ...

Mike Carruthers | OmniCast Media
About this episode

One thing cats do that annoys a lot of people is they hunt, kill and bring home birds and mice and other animals. However, there is something cat owners can do to help cut down the number of times that happens. This episode begins with an explanation. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/02/210211113943.htm

We are all afraid of something - probably many things frighten us. Often that’s a good thing. Fear keeps us safe. So what is fear? Where does it come from? And what do you do if fear is holding you back from opportunities in life? Listen as I discuss all of this with Helen Odeskky, a licensed clinical psychologist, anxiety expert and author of the book Stop Fear from Stopping You: The Art and Science of Becoming Fear-Wise (https://amzn.to/3qBprt2). I think she will have you looking at fear in a whole new way. 

Imagine if dogs could detect disease in people before a doctor or a medical test could. Well they can! Or at least they can be trained to and the results are amazing. Maria Godavage is a journalist who explored this fascinating field of medicine and she is author of the book called Doctor Dogs: How Are Best Friends are Becoming Our Best Medicine (https://amzn.to/3pLh9gT). Listen as she describes how dogs can smell cancer and detect seizures and other medical conditions before they happen. By the way, Maria has also written about military dogs and the dogs who work for the Secret Service guarding the president and she has a few really interesting stories to tell about that as well.

You live your life based on a lot of assumptions. We count on things being a certain way. However, when you question your assumptions you can come up with some amazing ideas. Listen as I reveal some great ideas that were simply the result of questioning assumptions and conventional wisdom. Source: Joel Saltzman author of Shake That Brain (https://amzn.to/3pH2TWh).
