Sam Darnold won Super Bowl LX, then skipped the late-night shows, rode the teacups at Disneyland hungover, did a shift at Raising Cane's, and went home to play golf. In this episode, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback and Broken Tee Society member joined Casey Bannon live in the BTS App to talk about life after the Lombardi, the YouTube golf channel he's launching with Josh Allen, Kyle Allen, and Christian Kirk, and an epic Death Valley golf trip where a random naked man sent the group to bed clutching 9-irons. He also covers his golf origin story (a 60-degree wedge to a friend's forehead at the San Clemente Muni), what he would've changed about the Super Bowl (playing better), and his definitive ranking of the best hangs in golf.The Golfer's Journal and this podcast are made possible by reader support.

If you've scrolled through your feeds recently, you've probably seen the video that's causing a stir: a prominent infertility doctor sharing her “Hot Take” personal observations on social media, claiming that IUDs are a hidden cause of intrauterine adhesions- or severe uterine scar tissue. Now, Listen. It is completely natural to see a specialist standing in a white coat making a passionate claim and think, "Wow, should I be worried about my birth control?" But here is the reality we need to establish right out of the gate: a handful of individual cases shared online is the very definition of anecdotal evidence. It does not fulfill the criteria of rigorous scientific observation. When we pull back from the algorithm and look at the actual clinical data involving millions of IUD users worldwide, the science shows us something completely different. In fact, large-scale studies demonstrate that IUDs do not cause this scarring—and historically, certain models have actually been used to prevent the uterine walls from sticking together during post-surgical healing. So today, we are separating the scrolling panic from the actual science. We have REA data from the recent FACT (Fertility After Contraceptive Termination) study from 2021 (AJOG). We're breaking down what the data really says, why the internet loves a medical scare, and the true, proven causes of intrauterine adhesions. 1. Abel MK, Wald K, Cedars MI, Noel M.

In this episode of the EADV Podcast, Prof. Michela Starace, Chair of the EADV Hair Diseases Task Force, is joined by Task Force Co-Chairs Prof. Alexander Katoulis and Dr. Matilde Iorizzo to discuss current perspectives on scarring alopecias and the challenges of diagnosis and management. The conversation explores the relationship between lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, highlighting ongoing debates around their classification, clinical presentation, and treatment approaches. The speakers also discuss the value of trichoscopy in everyday practice, the importance of early recognition of inflammatory activity, and the role of consensus-driven guidance in supporting clinicians faced with complex cases. Looking ahead, the experts examine emerging therapeutic strategies, including the potential role of JAK inhibitors, while reflecting on the need for further evidence and long-term data. The episode highlights the importance of recognising the emotional and psychosocial impact of hair disorders, while encouraging clinicians to adopt a patient-centred approach to care. Through practical insights, shared experiences, and discussion of emerging developments, the speakers underline the value of education, collaboration, and empathy in improving outcomes for people living with alopecia and other hair diseases.

Cuando Alemania ganó el Mundial de 2014, el gasto de sus aficionados subió un 75% al día siguiente de cada victoria. Con ese dato, cualquiera firmaría que el fútbol es un motor económico. Pero hay otro dato que lo desmonta todo y que apenas se cita: dos horas. Exactamente lo que duró, medido por investigadores, el subidón de felicidad de los alemanes tras cada triunfo. España acaba de ganar su segunda estrella y, como en cada Mundial, ya suenan las promesas de siempre: que si el consumo, que si medio punto de PIB. En 2006 el Gobierno italiano llegó a poner esa cifra sobre la mesa tras la victoria de su selección, en pleno ajuste presupuestario con Bruselas. Un estudio publicado en 2024 en el Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics comprobó la promesa con datos de la OCDE, y el resultado incomoda: los campeones del mundo tienden a crecer menos al año siguiente de la victoria, y con frecuencia menos que el país al que derrotaron en la final. Hay más. Un trabajo clásico del Journal of Finance analizó las bolsas de 39 países y encontró que caer eliminado hunde el mercado un 0,5% al día siguiente, pero ganar no lo mueve prácticamente nada. El fútbol opera sobre el ánimo, no sobre el bolsillo. Lo que Keynes llamaba espíritus animales. España ya vivió esto: levantó la copa en 2010 con el paro rozando el 20% y dos años después pedía el rescate bancario a Bruselas. Entonces, si el consumo es gasto adelantado, el PIB ni se inmuta y la alegría dura una sobremesa, ¿qué es exactamente lo que gana un país cuando gana un Mundial? Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a bold statement but I fully believe it. The speed at which you recover from life's setbacks has a bigger impact on your future than almost anything else. Examples … Someone says something super rude. Or you get disappointing news. Or you make a big mistake you're so bummed about. The event lasts a few minutes... but for so many people, the emotional impact lasts for days or longer! I've been thinking a lot about this lately, and I think one of the greatest skills you can develop isn't avoiding difficult moments... It's learning how to recover from them faster. Imagine two people. The exact same upsetting thing happens to both of them. Person A needs seven days to recover. Person B needs seven minutes. Now imagine that happens hundreds of times over the course of a lifetime. Who builds the better life? Today we're talking about one of the most valuable life skills you can develop... How To Be Awesome At Resetting Fast. Because you can't always control what happens to you... But you can absolutely control how long you let it affect you. Stop Measuring Failure... Start Measuring Recovery Time Alex Hormozi talks often about speed. Speed of decisions. Speed of learning. Speed of action. But one thing he demonstrates over and over is speed of recovery. He doesn't pretend successful people avoid problems. He believes they simply spend less time emotionally attached to them. Ask yourself: How long do I stay upset? 10 minutes? 10 hours? 10 days? The longer recovery takes... the more expensive every setback becomes. Great performers compress recovery time. Build Reset Rituals Successful people don't rely on motivation. They have reset systems. Examples: "I had a bad meeting." → Walk outside. "I argued with someone." → Journal. "I skipped my workout." → Schedule tomorrow before bed. "I feel overwhelmed." → Brain dump. The faster your ritual... the faster your recovery. I've been through harder. This is not the worst thing that's ever happened to you. Identity Doesn't Change Because Of One Decision Or Situation Mark Manson talks about identity being built through repeated behaviors rather than dramatic declarations. Environment and consistent actions matter more than forcing yourself through shame. One bad decision doesn't erase years of good ones. One great workout doesn't make you healthy. It's averages. The stock market doesn't go straight up. Neither do you. Hormozi's Philosophy Alex Hormozi says something along these lines all the time: You don't become exceptional by avoiding hard things. You become exceptional because hard things stop surprising you. Your response becomes automatic. Problem? Solve. Mistake? Adjust. Failure? Learn. Move. No drama. Just data. The Compound Effect Of Fast Resets Imagine two people. Both make 200 mistakes this year. Person A Needs seven days to recover. Person B Needs seven minutes. Who wins? Not because they're smarter. Not because they're more talented. Simply because they spend dramatically more days moving forward. That difference compounds over years. Challenge For the next 30 days... Stop trying to be perfect. Instead... Become obsessed with shortening your reset time. Miss your workout? Reset tomorrow. Bad conversation? Don't carry it into the evening. Eat poorly? Next meal. Made a bad decision? Learn. Adjust. Move. Your goal isn't to eliminate mistakes. It's to become someone who never stays down for very long. Because life will keep knocking you off course. The people who build extraordinary lives aren't the ones who never fall... They're the ones who become world-class at getting back up. If you remember one thing from today's episode, let it be this: One bad moment should never become a bad day. One bad day should never become a bad week. One bad week should never become a bad year. Your greatest superpower isn't avoiding setbacks... It's refusing to live there. Reset. Refocus. Take the very next right step. That's how extraordinary lives are built... one fast reset at a time.

In this episode of Beautiful Work Beautiful Life, cohosts Laurel Holland and Laurel Boivin explore the connection between inner work and finances. Together, they examine how our earliest experiences with money shape our sense of abundance, scarcity, worth, generosity, and possibility. Through thoughtful questions and personal stories, they invite listeners to become curious about the beliefs they've inherited and whether those beliefs still serve the life they want to create.The conversation reminds us that our relationship with money is deeply connected to our relationships, our professional lives, our values, and our sense of self. When we begin to examine our money story with compassion and awareness, we create space for new beliefs, greater alignment, and a more abundant way of living.Episode Highlights:Explore how childhood experiences and family dynamics shape your relationship with money.Identify inherited money beliefs and consider whether they still serve you today.Examine the difference between scarcity and abundance as internal ways of experiencing life.Discover how money stories are often connected to worthiness, identity, value, and spirituality.Learn how finding new role models can help rewrite limiting beliefs about wealth and generosity.Reflect on how your values—not money itself—can become the foundation for creating a beautiful life.Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration. What did you learn growing up about money?What did you watch in your household about how your parents dealt with money?What are ten beliefs or messages you've heard about money? For each one, ask: When did I first hear this? Who taught me this?If you had more than enough money, what would you do with it? What does your answer reveal about your values?What is your story around money? What belief have you carried for years that may no longer be true?In your heart of hearts, what is the life you truly want to live—and what does money have to do with that vision?Host/Cohost/Guest Info:Guiding others to become effective leaders of their own lives, Laurel Holland has been on a journey of awakening and transformation throughout her life.

According to a study published in the Journal of Thoracic Disease in 2015, 10% of all people are affected by obstructive sleep apnea. That figure rises for some population groups, like men, over-50s and overweight people. It's actually a mechanical disorder, rather than an illness. When we go to sleep, our muscles relax; that's totally normal. But when it comes to people affected by apnea, the soft tissue at the back of the throat collapses, blocking the airway. How long do these breathing pauses last? And how serious is the condition? How is sleep apnea usually detected? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Thankfully… walk into almost any contemporary office and you are likely to find a few strategically positioned plants, a moss wall in reception or perhaps another biophilic feature intended to soften an otherwise corporate environment. Over the past decade, introducing greenery into workplaces has become almost synonymous with employee wellbeing. Yet according to workplace and environmental psychologist Dr Craig Knight, if organisations believe that adding a few plants alone will transform productivity, they have misunderstood the research. Craig's work at the University of Exeter, challenged one of the most enduring assumptions in workplace design, namely that the most productive offices are those that are minimalist and stripped back to their essentials. These highly controlled environments were long thought to minimise distraction and maximise concentration. His research demonstrated precisely the opposite. Employees working in enriched environments containing plants, artwork and opportunities for personalisation consistently performed better than those working in lean, standardised offices. “Wellbeing improved, stress reduced and productivity increased by as much as 15%.” Although plants became the headline of many reports about the research, Craig is keen to put them into context. They are not magical objects capable of transforming a workplace by themselves. Rather, they are one of the simplest and most affordable ways of enriching an environment. This is important for designers, facilities managers and employers to remember. Environmental enrichment can take many forms, including artwork, light, texture and even scent. Plants have proved particularly effective because they are relatively inexpensive, flexible and easy to introduce into existing buildings. Unlike a major refurbishment, they can transform a space almost immediately. The psychology behind their success is equally compelling. Rather than distracting employees from their work, enriched environments provide opportunities for brief moments of cognitive recovery. Looking away from a screen towards a plant or another visually engaging feature gives the brain the chance to reset before returning to the task at hand. These small interruptions help sustain attention rather than diminish it. As Craig puts it, people are happier and more productive when their surroundings offer something meaningful to engage with. Yet as our conversation developed, it became clear that the plants themselves were not the most significant finding from decades of workplace research.The real story is choice. People perform better when they have some control over the environment in which they work. The ability to personalise a desk, influence the layout of a workspace or decide where plants should be positioned may appear insignificant, but psychologically these decisions communicate something much larger. They demonstrate trust. One of the most interesting examples he describes comes from a company in Paris that invited staff to shape their own working environment. Employees created artwork, rearranged spaces, introduced planting and developed breakout areas that reflected their own personalities. There was no substantial design budget. Instead, the organisation trusted its employees to create an environment that suited the way they worked. Productivity increased, but equally important was the sense of ownership people developed towards the workplace. It became somewhere they wanted to be rather than somewhere they were required to attend. This idea of ownership runs through much of his research. Organisations often invest heavily in beautifully designed offices only to prevent employees from moving furniture, repositioning plants or displaying personal objects. In doing so, they unintentionally undermine many of the psychological benefits the design was intended to create. Craig argues that even the best designers cannot predict what will make every individual feel comfortable. A workplace should not simply reflect a corporate identity; it should also allow the identities of the people working there to emerge. "The more you can realise your own identity in your space," he says, "the better that space is."This presents an interesting challenge for architects and interior designers. Design excellence has often been measured by visual consistency and aesthetic control. Yet workplace psychology suggests that highly curated environments are not always the most successful places to work. The role of design may be less about creating a finished solution and more about creating a framework within which people can adapt spaces to suit their own needs. That philosophy extends well beyond office furniture or planting schemes. Craig is equally critical of workplace cultures that attempt to monitor every aspect of employee behaviour. Surveillance software, keystroke monitoring and rigid management structures all communicate a lack of trust, and his research consistently shows that these approaches reduce engagement rather than improve it. Organisations frequently speak about wellbeing while simultaneously removing autonomy from their workforce. The contradiction is difficult to ignore. For those working in Biophilic Design, there is another interesting lesson. The discussion around nature in buildings often focuses on the physiological benefits of plants, daylight or natural materials. Craig does not dismiss those benefits, but he repeatedly brings the conversation back to the social environment. Plants become valuable not simply because they are living organisms, but because they represent care, enrichment and, when employees are involved in choosing and looking after them, shared ownership. It is no coincidence that people often name the plants they care for in the workplace. They become part of the social fabric of an office, small but tangible reminders that the environment is alive and that someone has invested in it. Even preserved planting, increasingly common where living plants are impractical, reflects a desire to introduce texture, colour and references to nature into spaces that might otherwise feel sterile.As organisations continue to rethink hybrid working and the purpose of the office, Knight believes there is an opportunity to move beyond designing attractive workplaces only. The challenge is to create environments where people feel respected, trusted and able to contribute to the spaces they inhabit. His advice to designers:"People first. Design second." It is a principle that sits comfortably alongside Biophilic Design. Creating healthier workplaces has never been solely about filling buildings with plants. It is about designing environments that support human flourishing. Plants remain one of the most effective tools available, but they are most powerful when they become part of a wider culture that values participation, autonomy and wellbeing. In the end, the greenest workplace is not necessarily the one with the most planting. It is the one where people genuinely feel that they belong.

Trudie Mason starts the week off with Jimmy Zoubris, Montreal businessman, longtime activist and former special advisor to Valerie Plante, and Catherine Hogan, high school teacher at Westwood Senior High in Hudson. The Quebec government officially announced its plans for the interior renovation of Olympic stadium. It has been Christmas in July for many in Quebec for the past few weeks as Premier Christine Fréchette has been announcing multiple differents investments in the tune of millions of dollars. A new Journal de Montréal report says three major Quebec companies have recently appointed CEOs who do not speak French. The REM suffered a major disruption once again on Friday. A power failure forced one train to stop between stations, prompting passengers to evacuate and walk along the tracks under the supervision of emergency crews.
In 1968 and 1969, Scottish newspapers reported that a haunted floating island on Loch Garry had broken loose and become wedged against a Bailey bridge near Greenfield. Known locally as Children's Island, it was tied to an old kelpie legend in which seven children were carried into the loch by a water horse, and their red hearts were later said to have appeared on the winter water.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:The Press and Journal, 20 January 1969, "End of Menace in Loch Garry – 'Haunted' Island to Be Cut Up."https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loch_Garryhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelpiehttps://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Folk-Lore_Journal/Volume_1/Kelpie_Storieshttps://scotlands-stories.com/scottish-kelpie-legends/Thanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on tomorrow.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Hello & Welcome! I'm so excited to share this discussion with a leader in the field of sports medicine, who brings her personal experience as a high performance athlete, her vast clinical experience and her research insights to today's conversation. I'm talking about Dr Fiona Wilson,who as well as all of the above is also a Deputy Editor of the BJSM; the highest ranking sports and exercise medicine journal globally. She is also a professor of physiotherapy in Trinity College Dublin, as well as Deputy Editor of the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, leading their Injury Prevention subsection, and she is on the editorial board of the Journal of Sport Sciences and the German Journal of Sports Medicine.Her research focus is the role of sport and exercise on low back pain (LBP) and on brain health, and she's published many clinical practice papers that are changing how we manage back pain in athletes, as well as a growing interest in menstrual pain in athletes (she was a coauthor on the Harrison 2026 paper that I discussed in a recent episode on menstrual pain, as well as a co-author on Dr Ciara Everard's paper on menstrual health (check out episode 113 where I chatted with Ciara about that paper)In today's episode, Fiona shared her personal journey from becoming an elite rower to transitioning into sports medicine research, including her experience with a career-ending back injury that motivated her to study athlete-specific approaches to back pain management. Our conversation focused on how athletes' back pain differs from general population back pain due to the unique nature of using their bodies as tools for performance, and the importance of keeping athletes' voices centered in research rather than relying solely on average population data. We discussed the specific challenges female athletes face with menstrual pain and pelvic health issues, highlighting gaps in knowledge and the need for better support systems. Fiona emphasised the importance of precision rehabilitation approaches that consider multiple factors including biomechanics, systemic inflammation, and the athlete's individual circumstances rather than using generic interventions like static exercises (planks - we are talking to you!)Our conversation also covered the stigma surrounding menstrual health in sports and the need for athletes to lead conversations about normalising these issues, with Fiona noting that better support could help retain female athletes who might otherwise drop out of sports during their periods.Some of Fiona's publications that we talked about today include:Whittaker JL, Schulz JM, Galarneau JM, Moore IS, Ackerman KE, Butler M, Dane K, Dubé MO, Ferraz Pazzinatto M, Gomez CD, Hayden KA, Marmura H, Mizuta R, Mosler AB, Schneider G, Schneider KJ, Sharma S, Trease L, Wilson F, Thornton JS, Crossley KM, Emery CA., Prevention strategies and modifiable risk factors for spine, chest, abdominal and/or pelvic injury and pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis for the Female, woman and/or girl Athlete Injury pRevention (FAIR) consensus., British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2025"The pain isn't the hardest challenge...it's the frustration at how much it affects my day-to-day life, my mental health and my ability to train”: a qualitative thematic analysis of elite athletes' lived experiences of persisting low back pain'' Trease et al 2026'“I'm breaking my back for this sport and they're not supporting me” Trease et al 2024Fiona is an absolute legend in the world of sports medicine - for good reason, I'm sure you'll agree after listening to this episode!Want to learn more about supporting female athletes?

SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE CLICKED DISLIKE AND THE TICKETS SOLD OUT ANYWAY Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey opens tonight, and we're asking what it actually proves when the audience objects for eighteen months and Hollywood gets paid regardless. Then we walk through the Supreme Court quote everybody shared this week that Amy Coney Barrett never said, and what it costs us when we're the ones who stopped checking. We get into a Gen X psychiatrist's list of six things people miss about the eighties that reads like an inventory of liberties somebody took, the Wall Street Journal's push to rebrand middle age as "prime time" while the median first-time home buyer hits forty, employers quietly dropping marijuana screening because they can't find enough applicants, and the two-hundred-dollar-an-hour trainers selling American men longevity one hip thrust at a time.
What does it take to chase a dream when you have almost nothing?In Episode 4 of The Journal of Charles F. Zitting, we continue reading from Sam's grandfather's personal journal as he reflects on his teenage years. Charles shares memories of the many jobs he worked to help support himself, the determination that carried him through high school, and his unwavering desire to attend the University of Utah—even though he had no money and no clear path to get there.His story is one of perseverance, hard work, and the belief that education could open doors to a better future. As we read his words, we also discuss what these experiences reveal about his character and how they would shape the life he eventually built.Whether you're interested in family history, early Utah life, or stories of resilience, we hope you'll join us as we continue exploring the remarkable life of Charles F. Zitting.

The Wall Street Journal published an exclusive account revealing what it says was the specific incident that led Donald Trump to ban Jeffrey Epstein from Mar-a-Lago's spa in 2003. According to the report, Mar-a-Lago had been sending spa employees to provide services at Epstein's nearby Palm Beach mansion for years, even as staff privately warned one another about Epstein's increasingly inappropriate behavior. The practice continued until an 18-year-old beautician returned from a house call and reported that Epstein had pressured her for sex; a manager then sent Trump a fax about the allegation, and Trump responded by ordering Epstein banned from the club's spa. The Journal's account also notes that Epstein wasn't a formal club member yet was treated “like one” on Trump's instruction.The report situates that episode as the first clear break in Trump and Epstein's relationship, though the two continued to be seen together socially for a time afterward. Mar-a-Lago staffers told the WSJ that Epstein's companion Ghislaine Maxwell regularly coordinated the spa visits — including recruiting young employees — and that concerns about Epstein's conduct were known internally before the 2003 complaint. Trump's current White House has disparaged the WSJ story as politically motivated, with spokespeople saying he acted appropriately in banning Epstein for alleged misconduct toward employees.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:New report digs in on details of the incident that reportedly caused Trump to ban Epstein from Mar-a-Lago | The IndependentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this episode of VarnVlog, we are joined by Brandon Lightly to discuss the complex and often misunderstood history of Maoism. We dive deep into the theoretical underpinnings of the "mass line" and "new democracy," exploring how these concepts served as an internal critique of Marxism and a departure from Soviet-style bureaucracy.Key Topics Covered:Defining the Mass Line: Is it just populism, or a sophisticated leadership feedback loop?The Historical Origins: From the Hunan Report to the Long March and the second United Front.Theoretical Innovations: Mao's 1961 critique of Joseph Stalin and the rejection of the "Great Man" theory of history.Fragmentation: Why there are so many different Maoist tendencies (MLM, MIM, Third Worldism).Praxis: The rectification movement and the relationship between urban intellectuals and the rural peasantry.Journal ArticlesDirlik, A.

Send us Fan MailThis is the summer edition of something we explored earlier this year with kapha dosha — bringing the yamas and niyamas, yoga's ethical and personal observances, into conversation with the season we're actually in. And right now, we are in pitta season. Fire and water. Heat, intensity, drive, sharpness, focus — all of it turned up.Pitta's gifts are extraordinary. The clarity, the capacity to make things happen, the warmth. But when pitta goes out of balance in the height of summer — the fire can start to scorch the very life it's trying to build.These five practices are the medicine.What we cover:Ahimsa (non-violence) — how pitta's perfectionism and self-criticism are the most common forms of self-harm we never name, why Ayurveda recommends exercising to only 60–70% capacity in summer, and a simple practice of just noticing the moments you override your body before trying to change anythingSatya (truthfulness) — the practice of learning to hear the voice of what is actually true for you beneath the voice of obligation, habit, and expectation, and how body-led movement like Somatic Stretch and Shake creates a small safe container to begin that listeningBrahmacharya (moderation) — why pitta is drawn to intensity and how the short, brilliant Maine summer perfectly illustrates the urge to consume everything at once, and what it means to direct energy into balanced endeavors rather than burning both ends of the candleSaucha (purity) — the nervous system cost of a cluttered space, why pitta season is naturally detoxifying without any imposed cleanse, the foods that are cooling and cleansing right now (including a beloved herb sauce recipe), and movement as a lymphatic practiceSantosha (contentment) — the research on why our brains are genuinely unreliable estimators of how much big achievements will make us happy, the impact bias named by psychologists Dan Gilbert and Timothy Wilson, what the hedonic treadmill actually does to us, and why collecting small daily moments of contentment — what the Japanese call Sho-Katkou, small but certain happiness — may be one of the most powerful things a pitta person can doLinks mentioned:Somatic Stretch and Shake — free class on YouTubePitta season Somatic Stretch & Shake class coming soon — join the email list to stay in the loop: Email NewsletterResearch mentioned:Impact Bias — Gilbert, D. & Wilson, T.
