How Do I Know I'm Making the Right Choice? | Pt 2

About this episode

In this episode, Alex and Kathryn explore the complexities of making choices and reflect on their own life decisions.

How do we know we’re making the right choice? Do we have free will over our choices or is it all predetermined? In Part 2, Alex and Kathryn work through a listener's dilemma about moving away for a new job and reflect on some of the biggest choices and failures in their own lives. No lectures. No easy answers. Just two people trying their best to figure it out.  We're not here to give medical advice, we’re just two friends exploring the science and figuring out life together. If you have any concerns about your health, please speak to your doctor. Each episode arrives in three parts from Monday to Wednesday. Part One tackles the Big Question. Part Two answers a real dilemma sent in by a listener. Part Three puts the most common claims to the test in Myth, Fact and It’s Complicated.  Have a question or dilemma you'd like us to tackle in a future episode? We'd love to hear from you.
