Confidence Hack #21: Epiphenomenalism and how our mental states are actually a product of physical reactions. So, what the heck is epiphenomenalism?? In short, it's the relationship between our perceived mental states and the physical manifestations that cause them. Everyone knows that fear makes your heart beat faster.
