You Are Not So Smart

Just how much control do you really have over your life, relationships, happiness, and the events around the world? Well, much less than we would like to admit.

Our guests in this episode are psychiatrist Michael I. Bennett and his comedy writer daughter Sarah Bennett whose new book, Fuck Feelings makes the case for accepting the illusion of control as a guiding principle for living a better life.
