Is Delusion Ever A Good Thing (2166)

Can believing a little lie about yourself help you grow? In today’s episode, Kevin and Alan unpack the fine line between healthy confidence and harmful delusion. Through personal stories, from childhood lessons to ego-shaking moments in adulthood, they reveal why truth can hurt, but also why it’s the foundation of real progress.
