About this episode
We often believe that our decisions are driven by logic. But what if our emotions have already made the decision, and our minds simply create the explanation afterwards? In today's episode, let's delve into the book "The Laws of Human Nature" by Robert Greene, which teaches us to become more aware of both ourselves and the people around us!
