That's where the brain comes in with confirmation bias.

The brain likes to believe stuff it already believes.

So my kind of metaphor is like, it's like surrounding yourself with bear traps.

I always tell people, if you want to figure out a broken soundtrack, write down something you want to do.

Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbanger.

On the Jordan Harbanger Show we decode the stories, secrets and skills of the world's most fascinating people.

We have in-depth conversations with people at the top of their game.

Astronauts, entrepreneurs, spies, psychologists, even the occasional journalist turned poker champion Russian spy

or money laundering experts, you get the idea.

Each episode turns our guests wisdom into practical advice that you can use to build a deeper understanding of how the world works, and become a better critical thinker.
