Ever have trouble hearing someone on the phone so you cover your other ear to block out the noise? This episode explains why there is a much better way than that if you want to hear someone better. https://www.oklahoman.com/article/3206007/strange-but-true-improve-clarity-of-phone-calls
While the internet has given us so much, it has also robbed us of a lot of things many of us liked. For example, solitude, maps, handwritten letters, even the rolodex to name just a few. Pamela Paul has taken a hard look at some of the good things about the internet but more importantly some of the things it has taken away from us and why it is important to understand how the internet has changed our lives – not always for the better. Pamela is editor of The New York Times Book Review, host of their Book Review podcast and author of the book, 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet (https://amzn.to/3ob6M7m).

Does that mean having more money would make you happier? Not always. Joining me to discuss the role of money and its relationship with happiness is Laura Rowley who has been a personal finance columnist for Self magazine and The Huffington Post and is author of the book Money & Happiness: A Guide to Living the Good Life (https://amzn.to/2SdFXgT).
