Who's In Your Inner Circle?
Hidden Brain 
About this episode
<p>If you think about the people in your life, it's likely that they share a lot in common with you. Maybe they like the same kinds of food, or enjoy the same hobbies. But, if you dig a little deeper, you may find that they share much more: they might make the same amount of money as you, or share the same race. This week, we talk with economists <a href="https://profiles.stanford.edu/luigi-pistaferri">Luigi Pistaferri</a> and <a href="https://web.stanford.edu/~jacksonm/bio.html">Matthew Jackson</a> about why we often surround ourselves with people who are just like us — and how we can transform our lives by pushing back against this phenomenon. </p><p><i>Did you catch last week's episode on the science of figuring out what you want?
