Why is there such a gap between what you want to do and what you actually do? The co-host of The Liturgists Podcast and Ask Science Mike explores the disparity between our desires and our realities, offering insights on how to bridge that gap. For centuries, thinkers have grappled with the question of human behavior—why we often fail to act in accordance with our intentions. As a popular podcast host, Mike McHargue receives numerous inquiries from listeners trying to understand their own missteps, such as choosing to binge-watch TV instead of going for a walk or engaging in political debates online rather than connecting with friends nearby. Despite the universal desire to be good, many struggle to find the path forward in today’s world. McHargue explains that while we believe we control our thoughts and decisions, various impulses, emotions, and environmental influences shape our actions. Addressing topics like relationships, ethics, stress, and mental health, he shares personal stories of triumphs and challenges. He reveals that what we often view as negative emotions—sadness, anger, anxiety—can be essential for our survival and growth. This journey toward self-understanding and acceptance invites readers to find peace within themselves amidst life’s complexities.
