Sunday, May 17, is our last podcast before summer break. Our topic for discussion will be Vacation! Summer vacations often take time, energy and money to plan. Expectations can run unreasonably high. We dive into what research says about how to have a better getaway. Many people don’t use all their paid time off from work — and struggle to relax and recover on nights and weekends too. What does it take to make our breaks more restorative?

The vacation topic is covered in two podcasts. The first podcast is a Hidden Brain episode titled “Vacation“.
