Why do we do what we do? What factors drive us? And how do things like competition with others help us achieve our goals?

In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Huang and host Matt Abrahams explore the intersection of human psychology, behavior, and goal attainment — and how communication connects them all.
