What You Never Knew About Your Immune Sy...

About this episode

If you have ever been pulled over by the police for a traffic violation, you know it is not easy to talk your way out of getting a ticket. After all, you have no real power in that conversation. However, there is one way strategy that is likely more effective than any other in convincing the officer to NOT give you that ticket. Listen to find out what it is.

Second only to your brain, your immune system is the most elaborate, intricate, complicated and fascinating system in your body according to Phillip Dettmer, science writer and author of Immune: A Journey into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive (https://amzn.to/35QaY6W). Have you ever wondered why you can’t get measles or many other illnesses more than once? Or how your immune system knows to attack bad cells while leaving the healthy ones alone? Why do some people’s immune systems go haywire? Did you know your immune system can kill you in under 5 minutes? Listen as Phillip answers all these questions any many more. Phillip also has one of the most popular science channels on YouTube.

When someone says they want to give you some feedback about something you have done, what they usually mean is they want to criticize something you have done. And no one likes to be criticized. However, when done right, feedback can be a very effective way to get people to change their behavior according to LeeAnn Renninger . Leann is an expert in behavior change, who has a fascinating TED talk on feedback (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtl5UrrgU8c). She co-founder of Life Labs Learning (https://lifelabslearning.com) and co-author of the book The Leader Lab (https://amzn.to/3rwtSYF). Listen as she explains how and why we often get feedback wrong - and how to do it so it has real positive impact. 

It has often been said that women like a man who can make them laugh. And research seems to confirm the truth in that - not only in the U.S. but all over the world. Listen as I explain why this appears to be so universal. Source: The Mating Game: Why Men Want Sex & Women Need Love. (https://amzn.to/3oyFWH3).
