What Really Makes Someone Attractive? & When Work Takes Over Your Life

You’ve heard it a thousand times: too much sugar is bad for you. But what does that actually mean? What is sugar really doing inside your body that makes it so harmful—and why is it so hard to cut back once you start? https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/carbohydrates/added-sugar-in-the-diet/ What makes two people feel attracted to each other? Why does chemistry seem to spark instantly with some people but not at all with others? Is love at first sight real—or is something more subtle happening beneath the surface? Dr. Justin Garcia, evolutionary biologist, Executive Director and Senior Scientist at the Kinsey Institute, and author of The Intimate Animal: The Science of Sex, Fidelity, and Why We Live and Die for Love (https://www.amazon.com/Intimate-Animal-Science-Fidelity-Live/dp/0316594032/) explains the biology and psychology behind attraction, how desire forms, and what science reveals about why we fall for the people we do. Work stress isn’t new—but it does seem to be getting worse. For many people, work no longer stays at work. It follows you home, into your evenings, into your weekends, and even into your thoughts when you’re supposed to be relaxing. Psychologist Guy Winch says this constant mental load is one of the biggest reasons people feel burned out and overwhelmed. With three TED talks viewed more than 35 million times and author of Mind Over Grind: How to Break Free When Work Hijacks Your Life (https://amzn.to/3Nxr9w9), he explains why modern work is so consuming—and what you can actually do to regain control. When you lean in to kiss someone, you instinctively turn your head to one side. It feels automatic—but it’s not random. In fact, the direction you turn may reveal more than you think, depending on who you’re kissing and why. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/07/170717100423.htm PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS DUTCH: If your pet is still scratching and you’ve tried everything at the pet store –it’s time to stop guessing and go prescription.Support us and use code SYSK for $40 off your membership at ⁠⁠⁠https://Dutch.com⁠⁠⁠ RULA: Thousands of people are already using Rula to get affordable, high-quality therapy that’s actually covered by insurance.
