12 Unexpected Laws Of Human Psychology - Morgan Housel - #746

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Morgan Housel. He's a partner at The Collaborative Fund, an investor and an author. The world continues to change, but the hairless apes that inhabit it stay the same. So there must be some laws of human psychology which remain true no matter what time and place you're in. And today we get to go through some of the most fascinating ones. Expect to learn what reasonable optimism looks like, the difference between overnight tragedies and long-term miracles, what we can learn by the divorces of the richest men on the planet, how people become victims of perfection, why most competitive advantages eventually die, and much more. Morgan is one of my favourite authors. He is one of the best writers on the entire internet and both of his books are fantastic and you should go and buy them. And this episode is great and I love him very much. So I hope that you enjoy it. Also, don't forget that this Monday, a brand new three hour long episode goes live with Eric Weinstein. And you don't want to miss it. So navigate to Spotify or Apple Podcasts and press the subscribe button. A thank you. You might have heard me say that I took my testosterone level from 495 to 1006 last year and two of the supplements I used throughout that were Fadogea Agrestis and Tonkat Ali. I first heard Dr. Andrew Huberman talk about these really impressive effects that tons of research was showing, which sounds great until you realize that most supplements don't actually contain what they're advertising. Momentous make the only NSF certified Fadogea Agrestis and Tonkat Ali on the planet. That means that they're tested so rigorously that even Olympic athletes can use it. And that is why I partnered with them, because they make the most carefully tested, highest quality supplements on earth. Dr. Andrew Huberman is actually the scientific advisor for Momentous. So if you've ever wondered what supplements he would create, if he could, or what he really uses himself, this is the answer.
