Episode 130: You Should Be Talking to Strangers (with Nick Epley)
<p>Researcher, professor, and former Division III football player Nick Epley joins the show to talk about why we underestimate the benefits of social connections. We are a social species, and yet many of us choose to avoid connecting with others. Nick and I talk about his research on this, and about his new book, A Little More Social, which is all about how we can change our behavior to connect more with others. </p><p>Special Guest: Nick Epley.</p><p>Links:</p><ul><li><a title="Nicholas Epley" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nicholasepley.com/">Nicholas Epley</a></li><li><a title="A Little More Social: How Small Choices Create Unexpected Happiness, Health, and Connection: Epley, Nicholas: 9780593319543: Amazon.com: Books" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Little-More-Social-Unexpected-Connection/dp/0593319540/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2NHRE3PDA0WT1&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.mHTyYvO99PvEVb8CUaLOXy_gpmERFPhg_zBL8rFDqvKK7G8KK2j5hYMZMpG5bwAfxRhLIDP9j0z4bNW_T8S1NPz--WE3dpvAWZux35UTkGTSRYQUNWiw6tMr15g_yq6haOFGeyL2eXqD56vEbFTcc3dZDUqiDDTPVyxdv2phEvV2xOx2P19gB8w7Nfcq7CpCrNNcPOJgwUaLqjXS4zoZ6y9PbY8lqg0B_SBGxL9lGCR58z8aVLIHc5cG0uDR3-OgG8Cal0i9qkynJuIX0m-yqkPnuJn2NTNBEubLVzcZqG0.KrDCpz4NMdBszGv1GG-u0i2ICFanyu9yFA37fKfJXJg&dib_tag=se&keywords=a+little+more+social&qid=1777992385&sprefix=a+little+more+social%2Caps%2C122&sr=8-1">A Little More Social: How Small Choices Create Unexpected Happiness, Health, and Connection: Epley, Nicholas: 9780593319543: Amazon.com: Books</a></li><li><a title="Strangers - YouTube" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCAURNnKqFo">Strangers - YouTube</a></li></ul>

Episode 129: RE-RELEASE: Terrible Advice (with Paul Bloom)
<p>Instead of a new episode this month, we have one from the vaults that many newer listeners might not have heard (because it came out almost 7 years ago). But, especially since Paul has a new baby (see first link), re-releasing this one seemed fitting. And it's always been one of my favorites. We'll be back with new episodes in the coming months.</p> <p><strong>Original Episode Description</strong></p> <p>Yoel and Mickey welcome Paul Bloom to the podcast, who is not only a returning guest but also the Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Professor of Psychology at Yale University. We first give terrible advice on parenting. Does parenting affect happiness, relationship satisfaction, and meaning? Does parenting screw with prospective decision making because it leaves the decision maker utterly transformed? We next discuss perversity. Why do we enjoy doing transgressive things? Who is likely to be perverted? Is perversion ever a good strategy?</p> <p>Bonus: How would Paul rate Yoel on a scale of 1 to 5?</p><p>Special Guest: Paul Bloom.</p><p>Links:</p><ul><li><a title="Small Potato - by Paul Bloom - Small Potatoes" rel="nofollow" href="https://smallpotatoes.paulbloom.net/p/small-potato">Small Potato - by Paul Bloom - Small Potatoes</a></li><li><a title="Parenthood and Marital Satisfaction: A Meta‐Analytic Review - Twenge - 2003 - Journal of Marriage and Family - Wiley Online Library" rel="nofollow" href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1741-3737.2003.00574.x">Parenthood and Marital Satisfaction: A Meta‐Analytic Review - Twenge - 2003 - Journal of Marriage and Family - Wiley Online Library</a></li><li><a title="Long-term effects of pregnancy and childbirth on sleep satisfaction and duration of first-time and experienced mothers and fathers - PubMed" rel="nofollow" href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30649536/">Long-term effects of pregnancy and childbirth on sleep satisfaction and duration of first-time and experienced mothers and fathers - PubMed</a></li><li><a title="In Defense of Parenthood - S.
