Job satisfaction – should people select their job based on their own IQ, conscientiousness, and stability?   3.  Stay-at-home mom has finished raising her kids and now wants to do something that makes her feel productive.  Her family, on the gravy train because of all that she does for them is giving her push back.  She’s a little stuck between starting personal projects & disrupting the family balance.  We have two callers:  Alan – who asks about Dr. Lisle’s thought process for diagnosing a problem. And the next caller, Rob, asking about how humans react differently to significant events vs. everyday events that are similar.
