We discuss why it’s helpful to touch someone during a tough conversation (if
appropriate, of course). We mention why closing your eyes in a store dressing
room can make it easier to make good buying decisions, and we take a deep dive
into listeners’ answers to two common questions from Questioners. We also raise
a listener question: “My relatives won’t restrain their dogs, who, while friendly,
are scaring my young daughter.”
