You have likely heard people say that having a dog is good for you. Usually, dog lovers say that. So exactly how good is good? Do dogs really improve your health and well-being? This episode begins with an explanation. https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/lifestyle/10-science-based-benefits-dog/ Shopping malls are an American institution. For decades they have been popular places to shop, eat, go to the movies and just hang out. But are their days numbered?

Listen to what she has to say and you won’t look at your neighborhood mall in quite the same way. When there is a problem, we tend to add something to try to fix it. If there is trouble at work, we add a new rule. If there is a problem we need to solve, we look for new ideas. When we’re sick we want more medicine.

Leidy is a professor of engineering and architecture at the University of Virginia and author of the book Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less (https://amzn.to/3olHXG5).
