Advice Goddess Radio, Different Time Tonight, 5-6pm PT, 8-9pm ET: Maria Konnikova On How To think Like Sherlock Holmes
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in therapy and research.
This should be a fascinating show on the difference between seeing and actually observing, and many of the other habits and practices of Sherlock Holmes.
Science writer and psychologist Dr. Maria Konnikova draws on 21st century neuroscience and psychology to show how we can employ Holmes' thought processes to unlock our own capacities for ever-present mindfulness, astute observation, and logical deduction in order to see more, live more rationally, and, in turn live smarter.
Her book we'll be discussing tonight: Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes

Don't miss last week's show on mindful quitting.
Quitting isn't just for losers. Sure, there are those people who quit because they're lazy or lack the courage to take on their goal.
But my guest, Peg Streep, is the co-author of an excellent book about judicious quitting -- quitting to get ahead in your job, your social world, and your relationships. The book is the science-based "Mastering the Art of Quitting: Why It Matters in Life, Love, and Work," co-authored with therapist Alan Bernstein.
Join us as she explains how to know when it's over in love, work, and beyond, and how to engage in mindful and intelligent "disengagement" from goals that have outlived their usefulness so you can live to the fullest in every sphere of your life.
