This week’s podcast guest can tell you everything you need to know about this phenomena. For longer than I’ve been alive, Dr. Paul Ekman has been studying human emotion, deception, and lie detection. After conducting decades of research captured in 14 books, he was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by TIME Magazine. And he’s also the sharpest, most interesting 84 year old man you’ll ever meet.
His name was Theodore Newcomb and he made this simple, but important observation: People who live close to each other, and who interact regularly, are more likely to develop a friendship. right alongside the same group of people, day after day after day.

If you quietly (or not so quietly) judge those on government assistance, if you receive government aid yourself, or if you are teetering on the brink of applying for it right now, you will be encouraged by what Erin learned along the way. In this episode of Truth or Dare, Erin not only shares what she learned about the stigma surrounding those who receive government aid. But she reveals the message of her book, More Than Just Making It, which encourages readers to rise above their circumstances and reimagine the good life outside the myth of the American Dream.

If you are ready to love only your geographic neighbor, you won’t likely be prepared to love much of the world. But if you’re ready to love the world, you’ll be well prepared to love your neighbor. If you are ready to love only your geographic neighbor, you won't likely be prepared to love much of the world.
