The Power of Apologies

<p>Why is it so hard to say 'I'm sorry?' In part two of our series on forgiveness and apologies, we talk with psychologist <a href="https://business.uq.edu.au/profile/788/tyler-okimoto">Tyler Okimoto</a> about the mental barriers that keep us from admitting when we've done something wrong, as well as the transformative power of apologies.</p>

On Hidden Brain, we help you understand your own mind — and the minds of the people around you. (We're routinely rated the #1 science podcast in the United States.)
