Read MoreOn human memory and trauma, with Dr. Keith Witt

This includes global trade between local economies (hence the word “glocalization”), which means you don’t import things that can be made locally but you may still share culture and “perhaps even have bananas in Hungary,” Szandra says.

Lying as violence and truth as a practice, with Dr.Keith Witt
Lying is a subtle violence that we perpetrate against ourselves and others, and almost all psychotherapy is concerning where people lie to themselves about themselves.
