  1. Man why is no one talking about how Hank just dragged all the journalists and armchair psychologists who forwarded pop-psychology
    This is why I love these videos lol

  2. please do on willpower,and how to get rid of laziness AND to focus on goals. controlling anger and how to study for exams and how to do revision . how to strengthen mind and stay motivated .. please do one this topics

  3. Fun Fact: Hank's shirt is based on a painting by René Magritte, entitled "The Treachery of Images (La Trahison des images)". In French, it reads "This is not a corndog". And it's true: it's only a drawing of a corndog. Well, technically it's a silk screenprint of a drawing of a corndog. Actually, it's a silk screenprint of a drawing of a corndog that's been transcoded to FLV, uploaded to the internet, downloaded by your computer, displayed as a video by your screen, sensed by your retinas and processed by your brain into a coherent image of a silk screenprint of a drawing of a corndog.

    Mind = blown.

  4. When choosing my ALevels, I didn't realise from just the name that Psychology was so linked to Biology… Am I regretting it?….Just a little bit. Ha…

  5. Pop psychology: A behavioral disorder in which journalists and armed chair psychologists use research showing beautiful detailed intimately connected complexities of your brain to sell newspapers or reinforce previously held beliefs!
    Hahaha I died laughing!!!!
