Your brain is a masterful storyteller, but it’s hardwired to prioritize survival over the truth. EP.14 pulls back the curtain on egocentric bias, using the groundbreaking research of Dr. Emily Pronin and Dr. Matthew Lieberman to explain the "Bias Blind Spot."

Learn the 3-step "Hacking Protocol" to separate "Fact" from "Fiction" and practice the Stoic art of mental clarity. You don't need a better life; you need a cleaner mirror.
