We have been bamboozled—and according to Dr. Richard Cimbalo, it started long before any of us were born.

Today on The Book Connection, the licensed psychologist, family therapist, author of “The Great Bamboozle,” and professor emeritus at Daemen University joins us and draws on physics, psychology, philosophy, and history to make a case that is as simple as it is radical: no two things in the universe are the same, everything is in constant flux, and accepting those two facts could change the world.
