😠 The Fundamental Attribution Error: How we turn a situation ("they're stuck in traffic") into a character flaw ("they're selfish").

🎬 The Peak-End Rule: The fascinating reason your memory of a shared vacation or a fight is probably inaccurate.
Understanding these mental traps is the first step toward more empathetic communication and a healthier, stronger relationship. Ready to debug your love life? Read the full article now.
