With people drinking more around the holiday season, it is important to realize that not all drinks are created equal.

What makes a person lucky or unlucky? Are some people cursed with bad luck? Are some people born lucky? To explore these questions, we turn to Richard Wiseman, perhaps the foremost researcher on the science of luck and author of the book, The Luck Factor (https://amzn.to/3EMLy6r). Richard joins me to explain what makes lucky people lucky and how we can all attract more luck into our lives. It’s not magic – it’s how you think.
It seems strange that some people actually believe the earth is flat, while others believe it is hollow. Some people believe we never went to the moon and still others believe that aliens walk among us. What causes people to believe what seems like nonsense to most of us?

Donald is a geology professor who has taught at Caltech, Columbia, and other schools and he is author of a book called Weird Earth: Debunking Strange Ideas about Our Planet (https://amzn.to/3GOsTc9). Listen to hear his explanation as to why some people cling to what some like very odd beliefs and why he sees it as a growing problem.
