On Our Way


Cognitive Biases via Emotions.

Cognitive biases are really underlined by emotions.
Emotions can sway us in many ways toward making

Can we really change the way we live today?
The odds are against us without pure, unadulturated motivation.
Often change requires a person to hit “rock bottom”.
We may well be on our way.
