When you stay at a short-term rental property such as Airbnb, you often notice security cameras. After all, it is someone’s home. But what about cameras inside the home? This episode begins with surprising data about just how common hidden surveillance is—and what every guest should know. Source: https://www.ipx1031.com/surveillance-rental-study/
For as long as humans have been around, we’ve had to do something with our hair. We’ve cut it, colored it, styled it—and hairstyles have come and gone through the centuries. But where do these trends really come from? Why do they say so much about who we are? And why are some styles (like the mullet, the pompadour, or “The Rachel”) so iconic? To answer these questions, I speak with Rachel Gibson, a hair historian who knows more about hair than anyone you’ll ever meet. She’s currently writing a book on the subject and shares fascinating content on her Instagram @thehairhistorian https://www.instagram.com/thehairhistorian/#
People can be brilliant, but they can also be incredibly stupid—and sometimes in spectacular ways. Why do individuals, organizations, and even governments make such foolish choices? And what can we learn from it? My guest is Cezary Pietrasik, co-owner of Synerise (a global AI leader in predicting human behavior), former investment banker at JPMorgan, former consultant at McKinsey, and author of Homo Idioticus: Why We Are Stupid and What to Do About It (https://amzn.to/3Jqsa6D). He explains the psychology of stupidity and shares jaw-dropping examples you won’t forget.
When people are sad, they often ruminate—rehashing negative thoughts over and over. It feels hard to stop, but there is something simple that helps break the cycle. Listen as I reveal what science says about how to stop rumination. Source: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/06/how-walking-in-nature-prevents-depression/397172/
