Summary
Susie read a controversial article that is questioning the foundation of the psychological field, and explains why the author thinks our focus on our childhoods, trauma, and negativity are actually making us less happy and healthy. And we hear what you should do instead if you want joy and peace. We learn about misophonia and the challenges people face who hate the sound of others chewing, and we hear why their disgust is usually directed at one particular chewer. We debate whether animals know they're going to die, and what their behavior shows us about how different species deals with death. Plus, Susie and Sarah get all existential and philosophical about animals they think they have a connection to.
