Making good decisions to help us improve our lives and protect ourselves from future uncertainties is becoming more and more relevant today. Dr. Gleb suggests we should never rely on our intuition and explains why. We then talk about his new book and how the common workplace is rapidly becoming one of hybrid and remote teams.

In today’s episode, I speak with Dr. Anna Lembke, psychiatrist and author of Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence.

How to Talk to a Science Denier
“Climate change is a hoax—and so is coronavirus.” “Vaccines are bad for you.” These days, many of our fellow citizens reject scientific expertise and prefer ideology to facts. They are not merely uninformed—they are misinformed. In my interview with Lee, we discuss science denial as a whole. Not only how to talk to people who disagree with science but insights into the differences into what’s true and whatnot, what science and whats note, what’s fake news and what’s not, and more importantly how this information is being communicated and why this is more often than not creating doubt amongst the public.
Name That Mouse
This is David’s second time on the podcast and in this conversation, I had an opportunity to discuss his upcoming book Name That Mouse. It happens to most of us every day, something happens that annoys us and instead of naming it, we avoid it. Instead of responding with thought, we are triggered and react. David shares some insightful processes and ideas about how we can learn to respond better in such situations, name the mice, and take better ownership of the situation. Communication is key! And done right, can lead to a win/win for all parties involved.
