On this week's episode of Life and Lessons, you're going to hear a conversation I had with Luke Burgis.

Luke is a founder, professor, and author of the book Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life.

In the next hour, you’re going to learn:

1. What mimetic desire is and how it impacts almost every decision you make

2. Why we want the things we want, and where our desires actually come from

3. How those who pretend to opt out of society and follow their own path are often just doing the same thing as the rest of us, and mimicking the actions of others

4. What impact mimesis has on our politics

And so much more.
