LIVE SHOW TONIGHT! Advice Goddess Radio, 7-8pm PT: Dr. Elizabeth Dunn, How Money Really CAN Buy Happiness
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in science.
My live radio shows start again tonight with a show filled with science news everyone can use -- the science of how to spend our way to happiness.
My guest tonight is psychologist Dr. Elizabeth Dunn, co-author with Dr. Michael Norton, of a terrific, highly readable little book filled with research-driven wisdom: "Happy Money: The Science Of Smarter Spending."
On tonight's show, she'll lay out the myths we hold about how spending in certain ways will improve our lives and will explain all the ways we can rejigger our spending and thinking, often in small ways, to spend smarter and happier.
Dunn, at age 26, was featured as one of the "rising stars" in academia by the Chronicle of Higher Education, and this should be a very interesting and practical show, so don't miss it!
Listen live at this link at 7 p.m. Pacific, 10 p.m. Eastern, or download the podcast afterward:

Don't miss last week's show with sex therapist Dr. Brandy Engler.
Dr. Engler is unique in that she opened a sex therapy practice for women -- expecting to slowly get some clients -- and quickly amassed a full list of clients: all men.
Engler and New York Times best-selling biographer David Rensin have just published a fascinating book about her sessions and her insights, The Men On My Couch: True Stories of Sex, Love, and Psychotherapy.
This is your chance to go inside her sessions -- to see into the erotic minds of men. And not pervos or deviants, but regular guys. Men we all know.
Beyond the men, we also see into the minds of the women having sex with these men -- or refusing to -- and find out why, and what it takes to balance love and eroticism in a relationship.

Welcome back.
A good show. I'm glad she doesn't concentrate on "you have to donate anonymously" to feel good.

We have had some really tight financial times, and I almost get a high from it (disclaimer, we have family with the resources to make sure my kids got necessary medical care, roof, food if we ended up without a penny, so the stakes aren't life and death for us). Seeing just how far I can stretch a dollar, how much I DON'T need to buy, getting creative with food. It touches something primal about providing and surviving.
I'm also addicted to what I call "scalvenging", scavenging and salvaging. The trash piles on construction sites are great. Dumpsters, garage sales, freecycle. Getting something and turning it into something great.
