Episode Synopsis

Ever felt like your brain is arguing with itself? One side wants to act on impulse; the other wants to analyze every angle. This internal tug-of-war isn’t just in your head—it’s how your brain is wired. In this episode, we unpack dual-process theory, the science behind our two “operating systems”: the fast, intuitive System 1 and the slow, reflective System 2. From expert intuition to mindfulness training and even a three-question test that reveals your thinking style, discover how understanding your two minds can help you make smarter, more conscious choices.#Neuroscience #Psychology #ThinkingFastAndSlow #Mindfulness #DecisionMaking #CognitiveScience 🧠
