Why do we feel a deep sense of belonging with certain people? Why does the human brain constantly try to turn random events into a coherent narrative? In today’s episode of Perfect Days, we explore the invisible threads that connect us all:

We dive into the science of why words occasionally get stuck on the tip of our tongues and how our brains are biologically hardwired for fiction. From the warmth of true friendship to the legendary life advice of Sir Christopher Lee, this episode is a journey through the memories and narratives that make us who we are. Join John and Mary for a morning of thoughtful conversation and timeless insights.
