Daniel Pink (@DanielPink) is the author of New York Times Best Seller When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, which examines the psychology, biology, and economics behind scheduling for optimal effect -- and why your ideal time to get something done may widely differ from someone else's. What We Discuss with Daniel Pink: Timing is everything -- but we're only now beginning to connect the dots between fields of research to discover the science behind how timing actually works. How humans are wired for time by chronotypes, how to identify our own particular chronotype, and what we can do to match our schedules to this chronotype. What the trough is, how it differs according to chronotype, and how it affects the decisions we make -- for better or worse. How observing the nappuccino and other restorative breaks during the day can minimize the worst effects of the trough. Why lunch is really the most important meal of the day. And much more...

Do you ever feel threatened or outright disgusted when you think of your significant other's "colorful" dating history? If you've got a cleavage-staring problem, you might benefit from the eye color drill and this listener's feedback. Does crowdsourcing the work of creative professionals devalue their time? How do you express empathy and support for someone who never follows your advice -- even though the consequences usually prove such advice is consistently sound? You can't force old friends you care about to make positive changes in their lives, but do you have to put u

What Shaun uncovered about his own patterns of behavior by going to therapy. Looking at our life as a series of turning points, and how we can use those turning points to continue moving forward.

How what you may think of as negative emotions -- like anger -- can be useful superpowers with the proper awareness and application. The problem with living in a time and place when distraction from discomfort comes in an easier and greater variety than ever before. Why every decision you make now is based on how you expect to feel in the future -- and you probably underestimate your ability to tolerate distress.

How one stays relevant in the entertainment industry, which is always asking: "What have you done for me lately?" The role relationships play at the top of the music game -- one of the most competitive industries on the planet.

Now, let's dive in! On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss: If you're a DJ networking with other DJs, what's the smoothest way to ask them to check out one of your tracks or demos without coming off as that guy? Is your dislike for a coworker's rude table manners and loud chewing something you should just get over, or is there a polite way to bring it to his attention? Have we ever done an interview that wasn't good enough to air for some reason or another -- and if so, how did we break the news to the guest? Is social laziness a real thing? How can you best tell others to piss off without alienating or offending them? Is it right for an ex's significant other to request they cut ties with you?
