About this episode

A common ingredient listed on perfumes, colognes, soaps and lotions is “fragrance.” That doesn’t tell you much. This episode begins with an explanation of why manufacturers don’t have to list more detail than that and why you should be at least a little concerned. https://www.safecosmetics.org/get-the-facts/chemicals-of-concern/fragrance/

Why do we get headaches? What is jet lag? How does vomiting actually work? What causes bad breath and how do you get rid of it? Dr. Sarah Holper author of the book What’s Wrong With You? An Insider’s Guide to Your Insides (https://amzn.to/3ilE0hs) takes us all on a fascinating tour of the human body and how it works and how to make it work better.

Do you know how much your coworkers make? If you don’t know for certain, you have probably wondered about it. Organizational psychologist David Burkus thinks we should know what other people make - and it all has to do with improving how we work with others on the job and how we motivate ourselves to do better. David has a TED Talk on this subject you can see here: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvcNw4F0Y4Y) and he is author of the book Leading From Anywhere (https://amzn.to/3Bak89q). Listen as he talks about how transparency really helps teams and individuals perform at their best.

Why do we like cute things? And have you noticed that we react to cute things like babies and kittens very differently than how we react to everything else? Listen as I explain why. https://www.brainson.org/episode/2016/12/06/what-makes-cute-things-cute
