What makes everyone like him so easily? Why does she bug me so much? Why are they so weird? Why do I always do that? Why do I always let that person make me feel that way?


Aaron is a multi-award winning radio host and Mitch is a psych professor, previously the Chief Science Officer for the American Psychological Association.
