He explains why our subconscious is designed to mask true intentions, making self-assessment unreliable, and how studying average patterns in behavior reveals deeper truths. Hanson discusses laughter, conversation, politics, and other everyday areas as examples of where stated motives don’t match real ones, challenging us to rethink the stories we tell ourselves. This conversation offers a revealing look at why we don’t know our real motives and how uncovering them can reshape our understanding of human nature.   ➡️ Show Links https://successstorypodcast.com   YouTube: https://youtu.be/PzAo70BW62g  Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/prof-robin-hanson-are-people-really-good-hidden-motives/id1484783544  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5CzokEMdVNrUUmutZuoLL9    ➡️ Watch the Podcast on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary

He reveals why instinctual patterns tell us far more than demographics, and how life experiences combined with core instincts shape the way we see the world. Raleigh explains how these instinctual profiles can predict behavior, influence choices, and even guide strategy in business, politics, and relationships.   ➡️ Show Links https://successstorypodcast.com   YouTube: https://youtu.be/J2jsSYpsEO8  Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bob-raleigh-ph-d-founder-of-pathsight-predictive/id1484783544  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4UBtZ30ELcRKl7IILPRBJh    ➡️ Watch the Podcast on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary

If you've been going through the motions at work while mentally calculating how many hours until Friday. If you think showing up is enough when your face screams you'd rather be anywhere else. If you've convinced yourself that sacrificing your aliveness is what responsible adults do, this one's for you. I'll show you why you're modeling that adulthood is a prison sentence, what you're actually teaching yourself and others when you're enduring rather than living, and how to choose a life worth living instead of a slow death in public. ➡️ Connect With Me https://instagram.com/scottdclary / https://twitter.com/scottdclary
