Gut Feeling

English

Those butterflies in your stomach, where do they come from? When you make the decision to pick your life partner, how are you so sure?

This podcast channel will explore the range of topics from human decision making to emotional intelligence, neuroscience and psychology to nutrition and marketing. We will be discussing the science behind the decisions we make.
