A few years ago, we had Brian Little on as a guest. Brian is one of the leading researchers on the science of personality which I find particularly fascinating. I mean, think about your personality. Why are you the way you are and why are you different than me and everyone else? Now there is some new research about personality and Brian is back to discuss it. Brian is the author of the book, Me, Myself and Us: The Science of Personality and the Art of Well-Being. (https://amzn.to/3LN32mi).
It seems that everyone is arguing a lot more. People argue about politics and social issues and just about any other topic you can argue about. Is that a good thing? Do arguments accomplish anything? Here to discuss why arguments are important is Lee Siegel. Lee is the author of seven books as well as a writer and cultural critic who has written for Harper's, The New Republic, The Nation, The Atlantic Monthly, The New Yorker, The New York Times. His latest book is Why Arguments Matter. (https://amzn.to/3ao7Zox).

Listen as I explain what the American Academy of Dermatology says you should and should not do. https://www.aad.org/public/everyday-care/injured-skin/bites/treat-bee-sting
