Ep 76. The Power of Introjection

In this episode, we dive deep into the transformative power of stories and how they shape our lives. We explore a critical conversation between Rich Roll and Andrew Huberman on the concept of 'interjection'—the idea that consuming certain types of content can subconsciously influence our decisions and shape our personalities.
