About this episode
Provost for University of Phoenix John Woods explains how workers are leveraging AI for career mobility as employers struggle to keep pace. Leadership and workplace correspondent Sarah E. Needleman reports on how some of the most prized benefits are on the chopping block for some major companies. For Therapy Thursdays on a Wednesday, social worker and therapist Gary Direnfeld discusses how to deal with a dead bedroom (that is, a dramatic drop in intimacy in a romantic relationship). Psychology professor Charlotte Kinrade reveals how casual sex is linked to lower self-esteem and weaker moral orientations in women but not men. RN and travel nurse Brielle Brumfield chats about treating festival-goers at Coachella. Psychology professor Harry Reis outlines how sexualized dating profiles can sabotage long-term relationship prospects. Health economics researcher Laurence Roope shares how people view this public health dilemma: Should we save more lives or more years of life?
