A história por trás desta citação
Rober's third piece of advice is to foster your relationships by leveraging confirmation bias. He explains that if you assume good intentions in your friends, family, and partner, your brain will naturally find evidence to support it — that's just how our brains work. Studies show the best predictor of divorce is assuming bad intentions in a partner's actions. He credits his mom — who barely graduated high school but took instilling values in her children seriously — as the single biggest influence on his life. She passed away from ALS six months before he ever released his first YouTube video, but the ripples of her influence are still felt through his work today.
