About one in ten people claim to be allergic to penicillin. Interestingly, while they may think they are – many of them are not. How can this be? This episode begins with an explanation of how this can be. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/do-you-really-have-a-penicillin-allergy-2019022616017  Distractions are everywhere. People are always complaining about the distractions in their lives. So how do you not give in to temptation and stay focused on what’s important? Joining me to offer some really good advice on this is Nir Eyal. He is a writer and investor who has taught at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and his is author of the book Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life (https://amzn.to/2O5mEaT). If you want to keep distractions from eating up your time, listen to this segment.  Have you heard of positive psychology? The premise is that rather than focus on what’s wrong in your life and try to fix it, it is best to start by identifying what’s right and build on that. Tal Ben Shahar is one of the leading experts and proponents of positive psychology. He is a writer and lecturer and author of the book Choose the Life You Want (https://amzn.to/34KXuUX). He also offers a course to become a certified happiness trainer.
