Your Brain Hates You: The Psychology Behind Impulse Spending

Описание: You went in for toothpaste. You left with a jade egg, three scented candles, and the creeping sense that your bank account has abandonment issues. Welcome to impulse buying—America’s favorite unplanned budgetary breakdown.

In this episode, we peel back the glossy stickers and fluorescent lighting to expose the sinister psychology behind spontaneous spending. From checkout lane landmines to algorithmic upselling, we reveal how retailers weaponize your lizard brain for profit—and why the phrase “treat yourself” might be the most expensive lie you’ve ever believed.

🎙️ Topics include:
• Why your brain loves buying crap you’ll regret in 12 minutes
• How stores are designed like casinos with better lighting
• The capitalist chaos behind “retail therapy”
• And how that $4 clearance bin keychain just cost you your dignity

Deep Dives in the Shallow End – where we shop for truth and find existential despair in aisle 7.
