Throwback Thursday: The Secret Key to Decision-Making | Emily Falk — Behavioral Grooves Podcast

In this conversation, we decode what goes on behind the scenes with our decisions - everything from what to eat for breakfast to how to respond to trolls on social media - and how emotional, rational, and social information is integrated by the brain to guide our choices. Emily's book is now available on paperback wherever you get your favorite reads.
