Peer Pressure

If you think you have full control of your thoughts and actions — think again. The clothes you wear, the food you eat and even the way you walk has less to do with you and more to do with everyone else. In this episode, we'll explore whether your brain is hardwired to want to fit in. Through a series of games and experiments, we'll prove that the decisions that you think make you unique also make you a part of the crowd. Some of what we're about to point out might make you look like a fool, but your brain's tendency to conform evolved to protect you and might even help you succeed.
