The Holiday Gift That Keeps On Giving! What is Cognitive Dissonance and How Are We Perpetuating It?

<p>In this episode of EQaboveIQ, I'm talking about a subject that is near and dear to my heart. I really think solving this will heal the entire world and set our children out on a healthier path. Cognitive Dissonance! Our brains' ability to seek harmony with who we think we are with how we actually behave. This is in every facet of our lives. Our beliefs have become incongruent with reality. So how do we protect ourselves and our children from this stepping stone to Narcissism? Let's start with not lying to our children every holiday season. Some of you are going to hate this episode!
