About this episode

The episode discusses how temptation can manipulate our desires and the importance of self-awareness in personal growth.

Fooling ourselves is how temptation works. We aren't fools as much as we get fooled into letting what we want get weaponized. We are unaware of the hook or ignore the possibility of getting hooked.
