Episode #38 - Tell Me Lies, Tell Me Sweet Little Lies

🎙️ Tell Me Sweet Little Lies | The Better Humans Project Podcast We all do it. From the small, reflexive white lie to the calculated deception designed to protect an ego or destroy a reputation — lying is one of the most universal, most complex, and most deeply human behaviours that exists. But how much do you really understand about why it happens? In this episode, Greg Pfeiffer takes an honest, unflinching look at the full spectrum of deception. We explore the neuroscience of why lying gets easier the more you do it, the psychological drivers behind dishonesty, how to spot a liar, and what to do when you discover you've been deceived. We also tackle one of the most painful experiences a person can face — having lies told about you — and how to respond without losing yourself in the process. And then we do the hardest thing of all. We turn the lens inward. Because the most valuable question isn't "why do other people lie?" It's "when do I?" 🎧 This one will make you think. It might make you a little uncomfortable. And it just might change the way you show up in your relationships — and with yourself.

Episode #36 - What a fool believes, he sees. Discussing fake media and misinformation.

🎙️ The Better Humans Project Podcast Episode: "What a Fool Believes, He Sees" | Hosted by Greg Pfeiffer Episode Synopsis We don't see the world as it is — we see the world as we are. In this thought-provoking episode, host Greg Pfeiffer explores why every single one of us is susceptible to misinformation, fake news, and distorted thinking — not because we're foolish, but because of how the human brain is wired. Greg breaks down the key psychological forces that shape what we believe: confirmation bias, identity-driven thinking, echo chambers, and the powerful role of emotion in bypassing rational thought. Surprisingly, he reveals why intelligence doesn't protect us from misinformation — in fact, it can make us even better at defending beliefs we should question. But this episode isn't about doom and gloom. Greg lays out practical, actionable strategies to sharpen your thinking: slowing down your reactions, practising intellectual humility, actively seeking opposing perspectives, and building emotional awareness. The goal isn't to become a perfect fact-checker — it's to become a more conscious, self-aware thinker. Each episode comes with a companion worksheet to help you put the ideas into practice. This week's challenge: pick one belief you hold with confidence and genuinely seek out information that challenges it. Notice what comes up inside you. That's where the growth happens. 🎯 Who This Episode Is For This episode is perfect for you if you: * Are curious about why people believe what they believe — including yourself * Want to think more clearly and critically in a world overloaded with information * Have noticed yourself getting sucked into social media rabbit holes or outrage cycles * Are interested in personal growth, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence * Care about being less reactive and more intentional in how you form opinions * Work in fields like education, leadership, media, psychology, or communications where clear thinking matters * Are someone who considers themselves open-minded and growth-oriented — and wants to test that Whether you're navigating political polarisation, social media noise, or just trying to understand your own blind spots better, this episode gives you both the why and the how to think more freely. 📩 Connect: contact@thebetterhumansproject.com [contact@thebetterhumansproject.com]

Episode #34 - You'll take the high road and I'll take the low. Discussing how our brain processes information.

🎙️ You Take the High Road and I’ll Take the Low Road In this episode of The Better Humans Project Podcast, Greg Pfeiffer explores the two pathways that shape how we respond to life in real time: the fast, emotional “low road” and the slower, more deliberate “high road.” You’ll learn how your brain is wired to react before it thinks, why that’s not always a bad thing, and how to create space between reaction and response. Through relatable, everyday examples, this episode breaks down how these two systems influence your decisions, relationships, and ability to stay aligned with your values. More importantly, it gives you practical tools to recognise your automatic reactions, pause, and choose a more intentional response—helping you move from impulsive to purposeful living. 👥 This episode is for people who: * React quickly and sometimes regret it later * Struggle with anger, stress, or emotional triggers * Want to improve communication and relationships * Feel stuck in overthinking or “paralysis by analysis” * Want to become more intentional and in control of their responses 🔥 Weekly Challenge: Practice the “Pause and Label” technique—notice your reaction, name it, and choose your response.   If you found this episode valuable, please share with somebody who might need to hear it or on your socials.
