Advice Goddess Radio, LIVE, Tonite -- **Earlier! -- 5-6 pm PT: Dr. Art Markman On How To Instill Smart Habits, Ditch Bad Ones, And Make Changes That Stick
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in therapy and research.

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'll be discussing on this show is "Smart Change: Break the habits that hold you back -- and form the habits of success."

As in the book, on tonight's show, he'll turn 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.

**Different time this week only! Listen at this link from 5-6 pm Pacific, 8-9 pm Eastern, or download the podcast afterward:

Don't miss last week's show, Dr. Jesse Bering On Sex, What's "Normal," And The Sexual Deviant In All Of Us.

Dr. Jesse Bering's book, "Perv," is subtitled "The Sexual Deviant in All of Us." This is a book about weird sex but it's also a book about all of the ways that even "normal" people fall along the spectrum of "perversions."

Tonight's show, like Bering's book, will be a fascinating inside look into how our specific sexual desires seem to be shaped in childhood, how sexually not "normal" some of the most seemingly normal people are, and how human psychology leads us to find others' sex practices upsetting and creepy instead of just different from our own.

As Bering writes, "Humans aren't the only sex deviants in the animal kingdom. But we are the only ones to stigmatize each other as disgusting perverts."
