Why Do People Behave the Way They Do?

What if understanding difficult people begins with understanding ourselves?In this episode of Elsplend Realities, we sit down with Dr. Jeremy Sherman, researcher, writer, and thinker whose work explores the fascinating intersection of science, psychology, philosophy, human behavior, and the nature of the self.Jeremy brings complex questions about consciousness, identity, decision-making, and difficult behavior down to earth—with insight, curiosity, and humor. We explore why people behave destructively, how to respond to difficult personalities without becoming reactive ourselves, and what our own behavior can reveal about who we are.This is a conversation about human nature, self-awareness, relationships, and the power of staying curious—even when people challenge us.Because sometimes, understanding others starts with asking better questions about ourselves.
