Ever wonder why you’re still listening to VBW all of these years? Or why you check your phone 50 times a day? Or why you put on your pants the same way every morning? (If you still wear pants these days.) David and Tamler talk about William James’ essay on habits, why they’re so powerful, and how you can make your nervous system your ally instead of your enemy. Plus, a shocking new neuroscience study reveals that we remember and share funny stories more than boring ones.

Philosopher William James discusses religious experience as a sincere reaction to the world, more emotional than intellectual. The podcast explores personal connections to higher powers, confronting evil for deeper experiences, and the yearning for something beyond the ordinary. It delves into mystical encounters, comparing concrete perceptions with abstract concepts, and emphasizes the subjective nature of religious experiences.
