You just might want to take your car keys to bed with you at night. Why? This episode begins with an interesting explanation – and it all has to do with your personal safety. http://worldofwonder.net/lifehack-put-car-keys-beside-bed-night/

 How do you best learn something new? Probably not the way you think. There are actually proven ways to engage the brain so material really sticks. Joining me to explain what these methods are and how they work is Ulrich Boser. Ulrich has studied the science of learning. He is founder and CEO of The Learning Agency as well as a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress. He is also author of the book Learn Better (https://amzn.to/30P03Wh)

The human brain is a bit quirky. Some of those quirks are good but others can cause you a lot of stress and drive you crazy. Neuroscientist Dr. Dean Burnett has researched the oddities in the human brain and joins me to explain what they are, why they are important and how to best deal with them when they get in the way. Dean is a tutor and lecturer based at Cardiff University’s Institute of Psychological Medicine and Clinical Neurosciences and he is author of the book Idiot Brain: What Your Head is Really Up To (https://amzn.to/3ab7Dxp)
