This is Hidden Brain. I'm Shankar Vedanta. Often in life, we find ourselves wrestling with a decision. And when we do. We tend to focus on the outcome of that decision.

How we'll feel. Once all is said and done. Will I love my new job? Or will I miss my old one? Should I move to a new city?

Or stay close to friends and family. Will having children bring me joy? Or will they feel like a bird? We do this with smaller decisions too. Is this expensive vacation going to be worth the cost?

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (51 minutes, 8,522 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.
