Bad Habits, Self-deception and many other things
Today I’ve watched 5 short videos connected with different topics.
- ”How to Break Your Bad Habit”
I’ve found this video on ASAP SCIENCE. There are two guys which are interested in psychology, biology, and many other things. They learn and try to give an explanation to different things and to shine a light up on them. I like when they prove something they give substantial evidences which are proved by experiments.
Well, here is the explanation of the connection between a bad or an unhealthy habit and our brain. If you watch it you’ll understand why people have bad habits and why these habits are hard to break quickly.

And eventually I ran across this channel and decided to watch “Why You Lie To Yourself More Than Others”.
