Learning How to Do Life Well
Today we talk about a couple of the ways in which fear encourages us to make very dumb choices. How can we make a better choice? What can we do to improve our relationships and avoid making the dumb choice?
Tim leads the discussion.
What are the primary factors that drive our dumb decisions? What can we do to increase our chances of making smarter decisions? Tim describes the recipe for the Dumb Cocktail, with illustrations and a look at a very rich man who did some very stupid things.
