Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Most people like to think that all of the choices they make are their own, rooted entirely in rational thought. But the science behind those decisions and the psychological processes that shape them is complicated. We talk with NPR contributor and podcast host Shankar Vedantam about how our minds operate and the science behind our behavior.
