Ep. 462: A Surprising Way to Be More Likeable, a Habit-Keeping Hack, and an Unusual In-Laws Problem

We discuss surprising new research that suggests that being accommodating

doesn’t actually make us more likable. We also mention a hack that makes habit-

keeping easier, discuss whether or not we’ve kept childhood vows, and debate a

listener’s question about how to handle her unusual challenge with her in-laws.
