Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of someone else-- that’s when hypocrisy begins.” But our guest, evolutionary psychologist, Robert Kurzban has a different theory. According to him, the components of hypocrisy are contained within our own cranium. In his new book, Why Everyone (Else) is a Hypocrite, he uses brain science to explain why we’re all bundles of contradictions. Kurzban argues that hypocrisy is the natural state of the human mind. Kurzban joined us to dig into our grey matter to better understand our duplicitous selves.
