Summary
Dr. Sparks and the crew take an all-over-the-place dive into human behavior and perspective taking. We cover everything from why naming your cookies before eating them feels a bit sadistic, to how we all see colors a little differently, to the way our learning history shapes the way we look at the world. We also get into selective attention, brand loyalty, food preferences, and why some snacks just feel better than others. On top of that, we chat about consumer habits, sustainability, the power of marketing, and how empathy and compassion actually show up in everyday life.
