34. [extra]On coffee /咖啡So in the show note, I’ll further compare: Big café espresso machine, capsule machine, pour-over, drip machine, French press, AeroPress. And I’ll keep it grounded in what you would actually taste. 1. Big café espresso machine — This is the gold standard in many third-wave shops. Think La Marzocco Linea or Strada. Taste: Very concentrated. Thick body. Crema on top. Aromas are intense and layered. If you order a latte from a specialty café using La Marzocco, you taste chocolate, caramel, fruit notes — not just “milky brown liquid.” You would notice this if you drank it side-by-side with a lower-quality shot. 2. Capsule espresso machine — for example Nespresso or Nescafé Dolce Gusto Difference: pre-ground coffee sealed in capsules. No grind adjustments. A Nespresso latte at home will taste good and reliable. But compared directly to a well-pulled shot from a La Marzocco, it may feel a bit more one-dimensional. If you add milk and sugar? The gap shrinks a lot. 3. Pour-over — for example Hario V60 or Kalita Wave Difference: No pressure. Just gravity. Hot water poured slowly over medium-ground coffee. + Uses paper filter → removes oils. If you order a pour-over at a specialty café, it may taste almost tea-like in clarity. Fruity notes pop more. It feels light in your mouth. If you add milk? It can feel thin. Pour-over isn’t designed to drink with milk. 4. Drip machine= automated pour-over — for example Technivorm Moccamaster or a basic Mr. Coffee Office coffee. Hotel breakfast coffee. It’s clean, medium strength, easy to drink. Not exciting, not offensive. Most people are totally fine with this daily. 5. French press — for example Bodum Difference: Immersion brewing! Not extraction. Coffee sits in water for 4 minutes. Metal mesh filter. No paper filter → oils stay in the cup. Taste : Heavier. Fuller body. Slightly cloudy. More texture. When you drink Bodum French press coffee, it feels thicker. Slightly heavier on the tongue. Sometimes a tiny bit gritty at the bottom. Add milk? It becomes very rich. Sometimes almost muddy. 6. AeroPress — brand is literally AeroPress Do it all! Immersion + manual pressure push. Usually paper filtered. Taste: Clean like pour-over but slightly fuller. Lower bitterness if brewed properly. Very versatile. You can make something close to espresso-style strength, or something light and clean. like i said in the episode, it’s kinda the “Swiss Army knife” of manual coffee. *So what matters most for you? 1. Strength 2. Body (how thick it feels) 3. Whether it stands up to milk Coffee is physics. But enjoyment is personal. thanks for listening:P

32. 雅思心理学文章精读预告|Cont.ep.22 Outro: 22期www.xiaoyuzhoufm.com 的结尾我说: Actually, this is fun. I'm thinking maybe I'll do a mini series where we read between the lines of the Cambridge IELTS books' passages, but only the ones that are psychology-adjacent. You might think those IELTS reading passages are just torture disguised as education, or you think you're just going to skim them to survive the exam. But I'm telling you that all these texts are low-key psychology gold mines. So, what we're going to do is (maybe we will do this) (approach this)not as test prep, but as more of a window into passages/ (slash)psychology,/how our minds work. You know, so we will slow down—don't just skim for the exam— slow down and unpack all these ideas and theories.

[...] Before we talk about what those nutrients do, we need to take a quick tour of your body's built-in food factory. Trust me, once you know how this works, you will never look at a sandwich the same way again. 05:22- Next, let's talk about the big three, the three heavy hitters—macronutrients, “Macros” for short: carbs, fats, proteins.[...] 14:30- "Muscle synthesis" 15:36- The food you eat doesn't become energy instantly. Carbs and fats enter your bloodstream as raw materials, [...] the mitochondria (which are in the cell) convert these raw materials into ATP. Well, you can think of ATP like currency your body spends to move, think and stay alive. 17:50- And the next group is vitamins and minerals. They are called micros, micronutrients. These are the tiny nutrients your body needs in small amounts, but they are critical for everything from energy production to immune function.[...] 22:26- Now, where does all this actually get processed? The gut—[...]and it's often called your second brain, because it has millions of neurons that communicate with your actual brain. 24:01- A bad gut can trigger cellular breakdown , it happens in many ways. For example, inflammation—oh gosh, this is a huge topic [...] 25:05- So how does the body repair this damage? That depends on your hormones, like insulin [...] 26:16- OK, let's wrap this up with four simple steps to take control of your nutrition. These steps work for everyone, if you don't have any health conditions.

28. 选择的悖论——如果你的2025年总在纠结(&新年重拾理智的实用TIPS)* Episode topic: “How TOO Many Choices Drained your 2025 (And How to Reclaim y..Our Sanity in 2026) * Intro transcript: Let me tell you about the cereal aisle. Not the bright, cheery one they show in commercials—with the cartoon tigers and the crisp jingle, the kind that makes you think choosing breakfast is a playful, trivial act—but the real one, the one you stand in at 7: 15 on a Tuesday morning, after hitting snooze three times, before work that feels like a slow leak in your chest. The aisle that’s not just an aisle, but a monument: 40 brands, Frosted Flakes, Honey Nut Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms, Fruit Loops, Special K, Raisin Bran, Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies, Apple Jacks, the list goes on. Each in a box screaming for your attention, each promising something marginally different—“high fiber!” “low sugar!” “protein-packed!” “gluten-free!” “made with real fruit!”—and you’re standing there, holding a cart that’s slightly askew, staring at these boxes like they’re Klingon, some alien language, like the right choice will somehow fix the fact that your alarm didn’t go off, that your shoes are scuffed, that you’re not sure if the job you’ve worked for three years is even what you want anymore. 年终聊聊选择的悖论——breaking down the paradox of choice—that weird feeling where more options = more stress, not more freedom.(那种“选项越多,压力越大,而非自由越多”的诡异感受…) (ps肯定不只是说选燕麦早餐啦) 13:23- This isn’t just about cereal or jams or phones. It’s about everything. It’s about the 22-year-old choosing a college major, staring at dozens of options, […] It’s about the person scrolling dating apps, swiping through hundreds of profiles, […]. It’s about the professional who’s told they can “be anything,” “do anything,” and finds that endless possibility paralyzing, […]. It’s about the information overload: thousands of news sources, millions of articles, endless podcasts, and you can’t consume it all, so you skim, you sample, you end up with a fragmented understanding of the world, confused and uncertain about what’s true.[…] 请听吧~ —————— 以下是提及的心理学概念与心理学家: * Psychology Concepts/心理学概念: 1. Paradox of Choice / 选择的悖论: 2. Choice Overload / 选择过载:因选项数量过多而引发的心理过载状态,通常会导致人们直接逃避做出决策。 ◦ Sheena Iyengar’s jam study is a classic demo—when faced with 24 jam flavors, people were more attracted to the booth -yes, but far less likely to make a purchase, as the sheer number of options made it IMPOSSIBLE for them to QUICKLY evaluate and compare each one. (它是触发上面“选择的悖论”的直接心理机制)希娜·艾扬格的果酱实验就是经典例证——人们虽会被众多选择吸引,但购买意愿会大幅下降,因为过多的选项让他们无法快速评估和对比每一种选择。 3. Decision Fatigue / 决策疲劳: ◦ For example, after a day of making work-related decisions, a person may struggle to choose what to eat for dinner—they might either pick the first option they see impulsively or give up deciding and order takeout they don’t actually want. 例如,在工作了一天决策了很多事后,人们可能会难以决策 晚餐吃什么——然后,要么冲动地选择第一个看到的选项,要么干脆放弃思考,点一份自己并不想吃的外卖。 4. Opportunity Cost / 机会成本 ◦ Rooted in economics and adopted in psychology, it explains why people feel regret after making a choice. 这一概念源于经济学,后被心理学纳入研究范畴,它解释了人们做出选择后产生后悔情绪的核心原因。 5. Regret Aversion / 后悔规避: ◦ It is a key driver of “decision paralysis”. People believe that “not choosing” can avoid the pain of regret, but actually, this avoidance often leads to greater long-term regret . 它是导致“决策瘫痪”的核心动因,人们认为“不做选择”就能规避后悔的痛苦,但实际上,这种逃避往往会带来更强烈的长期遗憾。 6. Maximizer vs. Satisfier / 最优选择者 vs. 满足主义者(暂译) 是一种用于划分决策类型的心理学框架 ◦ Proposed by Herbert Simon, this framework introduces the concept of “satisficing”—a combination of “satisfy” and “suffice”. 这一框架由赫伯特·西蒙提出,其中引入了“满意决策”(satisficing,由satisfy和suffice组合而成)的概念。 —————— * Featured Psychologists(提及的心理学家) 1. Barry Schwartz / 巴里·施瓦茨 ◦ A social psychologist focusing on the intersection of psychology and economics. 一名专注于心理学与经济学交叉领域的社会心理学家 2. Sheena Iyengar / 希娜·艾扬格: ◦ A leading expert in decision-making psychology, she specializes in studying how cultural factors and option quantity shape people’s choices. Her jam experiment has become a foundational case in psychology textbooks to illustrate the negative effects of excessive choices. 她是决策心理学领域的专家,专注于研究文化因素和选项数量如何塑造人们的决策行为。她的“果酱实验”已成为心理学教材中的经典案例,被广泛用于阐释过量选择的负面影响。 3. Daniel Kahneman / 丹尼尔·卡尼曼 ◦ A Nobel Prize laureate in Economic Sciences, he integrated psychological research into economic analysis, founding behavioral economics. 他是诺贝尔经济学奖得主,将心理学研究成果融入经济学分析,是行为经济学的奠基人之一。(当然,你可能还是最熟悉他2012年出版的畅销书“Thinking, Fast and Slow”《思考,快与慢》) 4. Herbert Simon / 赫伯特·西蒙 ◦An expert in psychology, computer science, and economics. 他是一位在心理学、计算机科学、经济学等多个领域都做出开创性贡献的通才。 5. Gerd Gigerenzer / 格尔德·吉仁泽 ◦A leading figure in the study of heuristics and bounded rationality, he advocates for “fast and frugal” decision-making strategies. 他是启发式决策和有限理性研究领域的代表人物,倡导“快速且简洁”的决策策略。(他打破“保留所有选项是最优策略”的误区,证实专注选择能帮助人们摆脱无休止对比的心理负担。) —————— 其他补充: * 【Product review sites】e.g, ⬇️ * 【comparison tools】e.g, ⬇️ 19:38- 结尾引用一句:Ted Chiang《Story of Your Life》如下 配乐🎵:Barenboim & Argerich : Mozart Sonata for Piano Duo in D Major, K.448(巴伦波因 & 阿格丽希:莫札特 D大调 双钢琴奏鸣曲 作品 K.448) + Auld Lang Syne 🎹 最后的祝福19:17还有... 感谢收听as always!!! 哈哈明年见 <3

New Zealand’s forest breathes around you. Everything smells like damp wood and ancient rain.

23.拖延症:不是懒,是情绪在 “罢工”?— 科学破解与行动指南标题:剑桥雅思20阅读又来了 之拖延症(Procrastination)哈哈 顺带混搭了 TED Talk 1. 把拖延症科学应对策略先放前面,你可以试试 ;) Dr. Fuschia Sirois 建议:1)赋予任务意义meaning:从 “价值视角” 审视那个被拖延的任务task,问: “那个task对我有何价值”/“它为何重要”提升对该任务的积极感受,缓解负面情绪。2)自我同情与宽恕:面对拖延不苛责自己,以包容态度接纳失误,避免陷入内疚、羞耻的循环,减少后续的报复性拖延。 我想到其他研究: 强化未来自我连续性(future self continuity) 09:50:通过可视化未来的自己增强对未来自我的共情,搭建 “当下舒适” 与 “未来后果” 的桥梁。 情绪觉察与行动分离:借助正念等认知行为疗法(CBT),觉察自身情绪 但 不被其主导。 2. 具体时间线: 02:15 -05:15 难怪这篇文章读起来这么熟悉!Turns out, that passage is actually drawn straight from a TED Talk given by Dr. Fuschia Sirois! [...] 这一段混剪了该雅思阅读节选和Dr. Fuschia SiroisTED演讲内容 side by side,是一样的:你能听出来以下数据吗? Procrastination影响收入LOL: 2.2 万?/拖延程度每升高 1 分 _?_减少 1.5 万美元 Procrastination身心健康影响:调查了700多号人,患心血管疾病或高血压的风险会增加 63%,在排除其他相关因素后。 09:50 加州大学洛杉矶分校心理学家哈尔・赫什菲尔德(Hal Hershfield)的研究:所谓的 “未来自我连续性”("future self continuity")—— 简单来说,就是未来的自己在你心中的真实感有多强[...] 12:39 心理与神经科学视角:拖延是情绪调节失调的结果,类似“边缘系统(the limbic system)”与“前额叶皮层(the prefrontal cortex)”的博弈,这与亚里士多德(Aristotle)的“战车模型”、弗洛伊德的“本我vs自我/超我”本质一致。还有“辛普森一家” (what? 请听吧哈哈) 16:11 时间: "TIME" — unlike money or motivation — is the one resource we can’t renew [...] 17:18 哲学家弗朗西斯·培根(Francis Bacon)的话(找了个不错的翻译版本放这里:“即刻开始你想做的事,我们并非活在永恒之中,唯有此刻如手中星光闪耀,亦如雪花转瞬消融”[...] 配乐🎵:Mozart_ Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-Flat Major, K. 595_ II.
