Our minds work in funny ways. Many of us have high morals, we live up to strong beliefs. Yet, if we dig deep, we'd probably find that many of our actions are in stark contrast to what we believe in. Even though we know being a couch-potato is wrong, many of us still become one. This is where a guilty feeling creeps in - and we try to self-justify. It's hard to change our behaviours, but easier to tweak our beliefs into becoming consistent with our immoral actions - which in turn will get us towards no better place in life. All this and more in this episode about cognitive dissonance, based on an excerpt from The Decision Book, by Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschäppeler.
