Why You're Not Who You Think You Are
Ever catch yourself wondering why you suddenly felt irritated with a colleague, only to realize later you'd skipped breakfast? Or why you bought that overpriced gadget you never use? We walk through life convinced we're rational actors making deliberate choices, but the truth is far stranger. The vast majority of what drives us-our decisions, attractions, judgments, and even our sense of self-happens beneath the surface of awareness. This isn't some mystical force or Freudian drama of repressed desires. It's simply how our brains work. We're running on autopilot far more than we'd like to admit, and the conscious mind we trust so deeply is often just along for the ride, narrating a story it didn't write. Understanding these hidden forces doesn't strip away agency-it expands it, revealing the intricate dance between what we know and what we can never fully access about ourselves.
