Why Good People Make Bad Choices: The Brain's Influence

When people do bad things, there's three areas of the brain to assess, so their prefrontal cortex, the executive part of the brain.
Ever wonder why someone you know, who seems inherently good, makes a terrible decision? In this thought-provoking episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen dive into the intricate web of human behavior and decision-making. They challenge the notion that bad choices are simply a matter of poor judgment or lack of willpower. Instead, they explore the deeper, often hidden, influences that shape our actions.
From brain injuries to toxic exposures like lead and mercury, the Amens shed light on the many factors that can derail our decision-making processes. They also highlight the crucial role of the prefrontal cortex, the brain's executive center, in steering our choices. But it's not just about understanding the 'why'; the episode also emphasizes the importance of empathy and rehabilitation over punishment.
By the end of this episode, you'll have a richer understanding of how our brains influence our actions and why compassion is key in addressing bad decisions. Tune in to gain a new perspective on human behavior and discover how to approach these complex issues with more empathy and insight.
