August 02, 2024 Episode 801: Blind to Our Blindness
Today’s episode is a continuation of my series on Daniel Kahneman’s insights. I discuss a quote of his from his book Thinking Fast and Slow, which beautifully describes the limits of our consciousness and its vast blindness. I hope my explanation is thought provoking and useful! Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

July 29, 2024 Episode 799: Hindsight Bias
Today’s podcast begins a dedicated set of episodes to Daniel Kahneman, one of my intellectual heroes who recently passed away. His work has been extremely formative for me in my understanding of what it means to be human and all of our biases. One of those biases is the hindsight bias, which I take some time to discuss here. I hope you find this to be insightful. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

July 24, 2024 Episode 798: Loss Aversion & Human Nature
We humans are so complex and paradoxical. On the one hand, we experience loss with such greater emotional intensity compared to gains. On the other hand, we are not driven to prevent loss by nature, but instead are driven toward “better” and “more.” I talk through this paradox here, which I hope you find to be useful. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

July 16, 2024 Episode 795: Hope in a Time of Despair
These past two weeks have been surreal for people of the United States of America. From witnessing moments of noteworthy cognitive decline from our current president to the near assassination of our previous one, it has left many of us speechless and in despair. I get it. I feel it, too. But I also know there is hope, and I share why I think there is hope in this episode. I hope you can see why with what I share here. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

July 12, 2024 Episode 794: Shame, Fear, and Facing Myself
I have to admit it. I don’t fully share what I think about certain topics and issues here. I dance around, fearing what others may think of my opinions, even if I have spent a lot of time informing myself and really thinking to construct them. I feel some shame about this, but I think admitting it is the first step, which is what I do here in today’s episode. I hope you feel the sincerity and find value in what I share. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
