L is for the way you listen to me
O is for the only pod you need
V is very, very honest commentary
E is even more episodes that’ll never bore
I’m aware that was mad cheesy, but I started and I couldn’t stop until it was finished. For better or more likely for worse. But what can I say? L-o-v-e is in the air.
This week on Thinking Is Cool, thanks to everyone’s favorite Hallmark holiday, is a week to think about love in all of its richness and its many forms.
But because I can’t help myself…we’re going to do it with a twist. Today, we’re not just talking about love. We’re learning about how it comes to exist. There are scientifically proven ways to create an environment for love, and it involves doing more than just recreating the final scene from the Parent Trap.
So hit play and settle in for a fun little jaunt through what makes love so unimaginably wonderful. You’ll hear from Dr. Arthur Aron, a research professor at SUNY Stony Brook who studies love and piloted a method for creating immediate intimacy and connection between strangers. You’ll also hear from some Thinking Is Cool listeners about their own diverse perspectives on love. And you’ll hear from me! Notorious lover of love and huge sap.
I hope you hit play, let the love wash over you, and enjoy. Sending you a big old hug or high five wherever you are.
And if you’re so inclined: Flowers say I’m sorry, chocolate says I love you, and sharing Thinking Is Cool says “I’m an intellectual.” I’d love it if you sent the show to someone special in your life :)
Final note: Thank you to our friends at Massican for making this episode possible. I’ll be uncorking a bottle of Annia tonight to honor all the love in my life. Buy a bottle for yourself here or hit up Whole Foods or your local fine wine shop. You’re gonna love it.
