“What we want to do is talk about what's going on in the brain when these things happen. Well, the answer is yes, and you should think about it ahead of time, and you should use the big brain god gave you to avoid situations that make you vulnerable.”
Is violence ever justified? That's the tough question Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen tackle in this thought-provoking episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast.
