It is almost impossible. You must look away. Why is it so hard to concentrate while looking at someone? This episode starts with an explanation of that. http://www.livescience.com/7155-helps-concentration.html To be labeled as a great innovator is an honor. Innovators are held in high esteem. But what is it that makes them so special? What goes on in their heads that allows them to create innovative ideas? Here to delve deep into the minds of some of our greatest innovators is David Galenson. He is a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and author of the book Innovators (https://amzn.to/40ySzVN) Have you ever thought about where your anger comes from? When you get angry do you get aggressive, or do you use your anger to resolve the problem? If we let it get the best of us, anger can cause us to say or do things we regret, damage relationships or worse. There is a better way to deal with anger according to my guest, Sam Parker. He is a journalist who has written for publications including the Guardian, Telegraph, Observer and GQ magazine and he is author of a book called Good Anger: How Rethinking Rage Can Change Our Lives (https://amzn.to/4m3g4OS). In determining your premium, auto insurance companies factor in your address. But why should you pay more (or less) depending on where you live? Shouldn’t it be about how well and how much you drive?

To unlock ad-free listening to over 1,000 episodes plus receive exclusive weekly bonus content, go to ⁠⁠⁠ https://SYSKPremium.com⁠ Everyone knows exercise is good for you. But have you ever thought HOW it is good for you? This episode begins by explaining exactly what the benefits are both mentally and physically. And the benefits are substantial. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/fitness/in-depth/exercise/art-20048389 Ever find yourself caught in a loop of “what ifs”? You imagine things going wrong — even when there’s no real reason to worry. That constant sense of dread and worst-case thinking is more common than you think. But why does your brain do that? And more importantly, can you break the cycle? In this episode, Dr. David Carbonell, a clinical psychologist specializing in anxiety disorders and author of The Worry Trick: How Your Brain Tricks You Into Expecting the Worst (https://amzn.to/44b5MTJ) reveals the surprising reason we’re wired to expect the worst — and practical ways to quiet that anxious voice in your head. Did you know the font you choose can change how people feel, think, and even behave? From restaurant menus to warning signs, fonts quietly influence your decisions — often without you realizing it. Listen as we explore the surprising psychology of type with Sarah Hyndman, graphic designer and author of Why Fonts Matter. (https://amzn.to/3DTCvlA). Discover how something as simple as a typeface can evoke emotion, convey trust, and shape your perception in powerful ways. Ever get chills from your favorite song or feel an emotional high when the beat drops? You’re not imagining it — music can light up the brain much like a drug does. In this segment, we dive into the fascinating science behind music’s powerful effects on the mind and body. Discover why you crave certain songs, how music triggers pleasure and reward centers in the brain, and whether it’s possible to actually become addicted to music. https://www.dancemusicnw.com/study-proves-music-addiction/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

  • What Algorithms Really Know About You & The Awesome Power of Doing Nothing
    Aug 14 2025
    UPGRADE TO SYSK PREMIUM! To unlock ad-free listening to over 1,000 episodes plus receive exclusive weekly bonus content, go to ⁠⁠⁠ https://SYSKPremium.com⁠ What if starting your meal with a mediocre appetizer could actually make the main course taste better? In this surprising opening segment, we dive into the psychology of taste and explore clever, science-backed tricks to make your food taste better — using your brain, not just your palate. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3139067/ We’re all being influenced by algorithms every day — from what we watch and buy to what we believe. But what exactly is an algorithm, how does it work, and can you fight back against its invisible influence? Math professor and author Noah Giansiracusa breaks it all down and shares practical ways to take back control from the algorithms quietly shaping your life. Noah is an associate professor of mathematics at Bentley University whose work has appeared in Scientific American, Time, Wired, Slate, and the Washington Post. He is author of the book Robin Hood Math: Take Control of the Algorithms That Run Your Life (https://amzn.to/3U66fnt). Hard work gets all the glory — but rest may be just as essential. Neuroscientist Joseph Jebelli reveals how letting your brain idle can improve creativity, memory, and emotional health. Joseph is the author of the book The Brain at Rest (https://amzn.to/458OlWb). This conversation might just convince you that doing nothing is actually one of the healthiest things you can do. Think you lose most of your body heat through your head? Believe urine is sterile? Think again. In this quick and eye-opening segment, we bust some of the most common — and most stubborn — myths about your body that many people still believe. https://www.menshealth.com/health/a19547125/lies-about-your-body/?cid=isynd_PV_0615 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

The host brings out fascinating topics and outstanding experts, and it should not be 4 stars just because it's hard to understand or because the listener has an excuse such as "Meh I'm korean and I'm so proud that I'm gonna show it off by taking off stars"

Great

The host Mike Carruthers picks interesting topics. I really enjoyed his last week’s podcast that talked about how to hold effective meetings. His podcasts help me choose my next audiobook. Plus the host asks great questions to the presenters and has a pleasant voice that is easy to listen too. I highly recommend this podcast, I listen to it when I do the dishes or other chores throughout the house, or during my commute.
