A Better Way to Handle Life’s Daily Hass...

Mike Carruthers | OmniCast Media
About this episode

When was the last time you cleaned and disinfected your cellphone? If it has been a while, I bet it will become a priority after you hear the beginning of this episode. Listen as I explain just how germ-ridden your cellphone is and why you should clean it much more often than you probably do. https://www.statefoodsafety.com/Resources/Resources/the-dirty-cell-phone-25-127-bacteria-per-square-inch#

It’s not the big crises in life that wear us down, it is the little everyday hassles, problems and frustrations that really take a toll. And it’s how you handle those little things that really determine the quality of your life. That’s according to Dr Samantha Boardman, a clinical instructor in psychiatry and attending psychiatrist at Weill Cornell Medical College. She is founder of https://www.PositivePrescription.com and author of the book Everyday Vitality: Turning Stress into Strength (https://amzn.to/3szCZHB). Samantha joins me with some really practical suggestions to navigate the daily hassles we all face and not let them take a toll on your happiness and wellbeing. 

When you walk into an Italian or Chinese or Mexican restaurant, you have a pretty good idea of the kind of food you will see on the menu. But what about American food? Is there an American cuisine? What do people in other countries think of when they think of American food? That’s what Paul Freedman decided to explore. Paul is a history professor at Yale University and author of the book American Cuisine: And How it Got This Way (https://amzn.to/3JjoO03). Listen as he explains the history and stories that shaped what we eat today.

Is happiness really good for your health and longevity? Sort of but not necessarily in the way you think. Listen as I explain what researchers found that will make you want to be happy and stay happy. http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/magazine/happiness-stress-heart-disease
