Every one of us engages in behaviours that, deep down, we know don't serve our best interests. The examples are endless:
- the diet that goes awry when you binge after a long day at work
- those extra drinks you have at the party even though you know you won't feel your best the next day
- the looming deadline that you keep procrastinating about
- or the time you picked a fight with your spouse for no real reason
