The Pleasure Principle May 12, 2020

Show notes

Food addiction, like any addiction, is about doing something that numbs pain and produces pleasure. Yet, after a while, a point comes when the activity brings less pleasure than it originally did. Author Bracha Goetz says the solution is to seek more and deeper pleasure. She is clear that it isn’t the hedonistic pleasure that is the answer but pleasure that soothes the soul.

Help for Caregivers May 05, 2020

As we get older, like it or not, we will either become caregivers or need a caregiver, if not both. Caregiving is an all-consuming, often confusing, and exhausting job. RN and caregiver, Kristal Glover-Wing wrote The Caregiver's Bible to help. The book helps busy caregivers navigate medical questions, boosts confidence and reduces medical mistakes. With 65 million Americans occupying this role with more to come, learning how to give care is critical.
