Description

The phrase Sunk Cost Fallacy is going to help you stop wasting your time on shit that doesn’t work. In this episode I’m explaining this concept where you keep putting money and time and effort into something that isn’t working, but you don’t want to quite cause of all the effort you’ve already put in.


Brain Fact: Cyclooxegenase and reducing pain and inflamation in the body 


Listener Question: I have been cheating on my wife for 7 years, and the woman I was cheating with recently broke up with me. How can I get over that heartbreak while not telling my wife about the affair because I don’t want her to leave me.
