Advice Goddess Radio, LIVE 7-8 pm PT, 10-11 pm ET: Dr. Jennifer Verdolin And Amy Alkon: Manners And Sexual Politics In Humans And Animals
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in science.
An animal behaviorist/lemur personality expert and a science-based modern manners and sexual politics expert -- what could make for a more fun and interesting hour of Advice Goddess Radio?
Dr. Jennifer L. Verdolin is the woman who runs with the lemurs, and she has a few things to say about human relationships as seen through the lens of animal ones. (Sometimes, sadly, the animals seem more mature than we do.) Her new book: Wild Connection: What Animal Courtship and Mating Tell Us About Human Relationships.
And your usual host -- that's me, Amy Alkon -- happens to be the science-based modern manners and sexual politics expert. My new book is "Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck."
On this show, as Jennifer and I interview each other about each of our books, we'll lay out the nitty gritty of human behavior in love, sex, dating, friendships, explaining how you can avoid letting the rude and sociopathic get one over on you. We'll also give you valuable advice on how you can be your most successful self in human interactions -- and any you happen to have with lemurs, spiders, and bears...oh my.

Don't miss last week's show with Dr. Barbara Oakley, who has written an incredibly helpful book on learning how to learn math and science. But, yoohoo, math-loathers, this book -- and this show -- are about much more than that.
Both her book and this show are about techniques you can start employing immediately that will show you how to do your work and your creative work more efficiently and ultimately more successfully and satisfyingly.
The proof that these techniques work? Dr. Oakley herself used these techniques to transform from a girl who flunked every math and science course in high school into a tenured professor of engineering. And she currently uses them to curb procrastination, to learn and retain difficult material better and faster, and to increase her creativity in problem-solving and writing.
Dr. Oakley's excellent book: A Mind For Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra)

That was more of discussion show than an interview. I liked it. She was getting you views while you were getting hers. An interesting way to do it.

I loved our interchange. At first, I was a little nervous but as soon as we got going I forgot about worrying and just talked and so did she.

The format worked very well. It put you on equal status and brought out small points very clearly that you two might have normally missed.

I am worried that, during the discussion, neither of you had time to make your man a sandwich.
