• Why the Gender Revolution Stopped | Corinne Low

  What if the gender revolution never finished? Economist Corinne Low joins us to unpack why women have transformed the workforce while men’s roles at home have barely changed. Drawing on insights from her book Having It All, Corinne reveals why so many families are stretched thin, caught between data, social pressure, and outdated norms. Together, we explore what it means to “have it almost,” and how smarter boundaries, parental leave, and fairer divisions of labor could finally help us reach true balance at home and at work.  ©2025 Behavioral Grooves Topics [0:00] Intro and Speed Round with Corinne Low [8:30] Gender Roles in Parenting [18:58] Behavioral and Social Norms in Parenting [27:32] Economic Models and Marriage [38:29] Paternity Leave and Gender Roles [44:18] Structural Changes and Workforce Adaptations [52:49] Desert Island Music [55:26] Grooving Session: Finding Balance at Home and at Work ©2025 Behavioral Grooves Links About Corinne Having It All: What Data Tells Us About Women’s Lives and Getting the Most Out of Yours by Corinne Low, PhD Join us on Substack!

• Is the American Dream Dead? | Mark Matson

  Financial advisor and author Mark Matson joins Behavioral Grooves to explore what the American Dream means today—and whether it’s truly attainable for everyone. We dig into his view that fulfillment comes from mindset, not money, and examine how behavioral biases can sabotage our financial decisions. But as we discuss the tension between personal responsibility and systemic headwinds, we also ask: can discipline and optimism alone really guarantee success?

• The Trick That Shapes Every Choice You Make | Mikael Klintman

  How does framing influence the way we think, feel, and act? Sociologist and author Mikael Klintman joins us to explore how framing shapes nearly every part of life — from art and politics to health and everyday conversations. We discuss how subtle shifts in language and context can change our perceptions, why framing itself is neutral but powerful, and how expanding or contracting our frames can unite or divide us. Tune in for practical insights on recognizing framing in action and using it to see the world differently.

• The Science of Superstition: Why Our Brains Believe in Magic

  This Halloween, we dive into the spooky science of superstition—why we knock on wood, wear lucky socks, and believe in things that defy logic. From the psychology of control and uncertainty to research on how superstition both stresses and strengthens us, we mix science, humor, and a dash of Stevie Wonder to show why “superstition ain’t the way.” Topics [0:00] Happy Halloween from Behavioral Grooves!
