The SHOCKING Truth About Epigenetics Nobody Tells You
In this episode of Everything Is Personal, we dive deep into the provocative ideas of Steve Pasin, author of Taming the Fetal Tyrant. From megalomania in the womb to the role of culture in shaping our behavior, this conversation challenges how we view human nature. Steve shares why he believes every human is born with the instinct to “win, control, dominate, and be right,” and how society, culture, and even epigenetics influence how we channel those impulses. Is the difference between Mother Teresa and Hitler rooted in the same human drive, expressed differently? Can stress, trauma, and genetic predispositions shape our path toward compassion or destruction?
