Why is it so easy to see what everyone else is doing wrong, yet so difficult to recognize our own mistakes? Rabbi Shafier reveals one of the most powerful tricks of the human mind: once we want something, our brain becomes remarkably good at explaining why we're right. Through the shocking story of the men who publicly humiliated Dovid HaMelech, he shows how easily anger, jealousy, and desire can distort the way we see reality. Yom Kippur gives us the chance to strip away those excuses, admit where we're really struggling, and turn to Hashem for the help we need to genuinely change.
