Episode notes
Nature And Nurture Both Matter
- Cheating likely mixes nature and nurture, making separation difficult.
- Biological factors like hormones may predispose people but don't fully determine behavior.
Control Your Environment
- If you know you have a wandering eye, change your environment to limit temptation.
- Use accountability partners and avoid situations that make cheating easy.

- Acting differently can rewire behavior faster than just thinking differently.
- Medications or interventions that alter drive might be chosen like other behavioral tools.
