About this episode

Have you ever had déjà vu - that feeling that what you are experiencing now, you have experienced before? Most people have. This episode begins with some interesting insight into what it is, why it occurs and when and where it is most likely to occur.

We all have the need to own something according to psychologist Bruce Hood, author of the book Possessed: Why We Want More Than We Need (https://amzn.to/3iRBpxv) From the time you were a child and you knew that your teddy bear or blanket belonged to you and only you, ownership became a part of your life. Today we not only like to own things, we like to own nice things, designer things and we like to own lots and lots of things - which can sometimes get us in trouble. Listen as Bruce explains what it does (and doesn’t) mean to own something and why it is so important.

What is American cuisine? 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 because of Taco Bell.

Ever notice that some days you just look better than others? And have you ever noticed that on those days, life seems to go better for you?
