Advice Goddess Radio, Tonight, 7-8pm PT: 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 science.
This is a "Best Of" replay -- only because my new book just came out, and it's been a wild week, and I didn't have time to prep a book for the radio show. I should be back to live shows in the next week or two.
This is a show I found fascinating -- one on the difference between seeing versus 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 discuss: Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes

Don't miss last week's show on successful behavioral change.
Great aspirations...sucky follow-through: This describes life for a lot of us -- sometimes, despite our best intentions.
Best-selling author and psychologist Art Markman is going to help us out of this rut. His book we discuss on this show is "Smart Change: Break the habits that hold you back -- and form the habits of success."
As in the book, on this show, he turns to behavioral science to help us understand our brain's motivational systems so we can short-circuit negative behaviors and create positive ones with staying power.
