Summary
Almost everyone has at least one superstition they adhere too, and science says that might be for good reason! In this episode, we talk about the origins of two popular superstitions (including one that dates back to over 5000 years ago!), and then jump into the science behind how people use superstition to make (or break) their own luck. ** WE WROTE A BOOK!
