  • What’s Really Controlling Your Money? & When to Quit

    What’s Really Controlling Your Money? & When to Quit
    Apr 13 2026
    Most people think they’re good drivers. But there’s one simple thing you can do—or not do—that has a surprisingly big impact on how well you drive. It takes almost no effort, yet skipping it can quietly increase your chances of making mistakes behind the wheel. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25890276/ Your financial life may feel like a series of personal choices—what you earn, spend, and save. But many of those decisions are shaped by forces you don’t always see. Technology, algorithms, credit systems, and even the way prices are presented can subtly influence how you think about money and what you do with it. Alex Mayyasi, reporter for the podcast Planet Money (https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510289/planet-money) and author of Planet Money: A Guide to the Economic Forces That Shape Your Life (https://amzn.to/4s4H9DO), explains how these hidden forces work—and how becoming aware of them can help you make smarter financial decisions. Quitting has a bad reputation. We’re taught to stick it out, push through, and never give up. But sometimes quitting is exactly the right move. The real challenge is knowing the difference between perseverance and persistence that no longer serves you. Jeffrey Lockwood, professor at the University of Wyoming and author of The Good Quit: Mastering the Fine Art of Giving Up (https://amzn.to/48oBEsG), explores how to recognize when it’s time to walk away—and how making the right decision at the right time can actually move your life forward. An eye that suddenly starts twitching can feel strange and a little unsettling. It often comes out of nowhere and can linger longer than you’d like. But what’s actually causing it—and is it something you should worry about? https://www.mayoclinic.org/symptoms/eye-twitching/basics/causes/sym-20050838 Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Why Rituals Are So Important & Healthy Living Made Simple – SYSK Choice

    Why Rituals Are So Important & Healthy Living Made Simple – SYSK Choice
    Apr 11 2026
    Where do you do your best thinking? It’s probably not where you spend most of your time working. In fact, the environment you choose can quietly influence how clearly you think, how creative you are, and how well you perform. There’s a simple shift that can make a noticeable difference. Source: Edward Hallowell author of Driven to Distraction (https://amzn.to/3PQgv1u). Rituals are everywhere—handshakes, morning routines, lucky habits, traditions we repeat without thinking. Even people who don’t consider themselves “ritualistic” rely on them every day. But why? Michael Norton, professor at Harvard Business School and author of The Ritual Effect (https://amzn.to/3U65Zpn), explains that rituals do far more than add structure—they can reduce anxiety, strengthen relationships, and give meaning to everyday experiences. He explores why humans are drawn to rituals and how they can be used intentionally to improve your life. Health advice can feel overwhelming—contradictory studies, complicated plans, and endless “must-do” lists. But what if getting healthier didn’t have to be so complicated? Jacob Sager Weinstein, writer for The New Yorker, HBO, and the BBC, and author of Be Healthier Now: 100 Simple Ways to Become Instantly Healthier (https://amzn.to/4cZedXV), cuts through the noise with practical, science-backed ideas that are simple to implement and surprisingly effective—no jargon, no extreme routines, just small changes that can make a real difference. Revenge is often described as “sweet.” And just imagining getting even with someone can feel surprisingly satisfying. But what is it about revenge that makes it feel so good—even before anything actually happens? https://theconversation.com/revenge-isnt-always-sweet-but-it-can-be-beautiful-73653 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS DUTCH: If your pet is still scratching and you’ve tried everything at the pet store –it’s time to stop guessing and go prescription.Support us and use code SYSK for $40 off your membership at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://Dutch.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ RULA: Thousands of people are already using Rula to get affordable, high-quality therapy that’s actually covered by insurance.

  • How to Build Confidence Fast & Why You Keep Procrastinating

    How to Build Confidence Fast & Why You Keep Procrastinating
    Apr 9 2026
    Your name is one of the first things people learn about you—but it may also influence how they judge you. Research suggests that people with names that are harder to pronounce can face subtle disadvantages in hiring, promotions, and social situations. It’s not usually intentional—but it happens. And there are ways to counteract it. https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/the-power-of-names Some people just seem naturally confident. They walk into a room with ease, connect effortlessly with others, and come across as both capable and approachable. But where does that confidence actually come from? Is it something you’re born with—or something you can build? Lydia Fenet, auctioneer, speaker, and author of Claim Your Confidence (https://amzn.to/3GQu8ZS), explains how confidence is developed, what most people get wrong about it, and practical ways to strengthen it so it shows up in your work and your everyday interactions. Procrastination isn’t just laziness—it’s something deeper. Whether it’s putting off a small task or delaying something important, there’s usually a reason behind it. Hayden Finch, PhD, licensed clinical psychologist and author of The Psychology of Procrastination (https://amzn.to/41Ik0ua), explains what’s really going on when you avoid getting started, why willpower alone doesn’t fix it, and what actually helps you follow through and get things done. Talking to yourself out loud might seem odd—but it can actually give you an advantage in certain situations. In fact, under the right conditions, it can sharpen your focus and improve how well you perform tasks that require attention. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/04/120417221613.htm PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS DUTCH: If your pet is still scratching and you’ve tried everything at the pet store –it’s time to stop guessing and go prescription.Support us and use code SYSK for $40 off your membership at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://Dutch.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ RULA: Thousands of people are already using Rula to get affordable, high-quality therapy that’s actually covered by insurance.

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.
