After an initial career in urban economic development strategy, Jer has spent five years creating a foundational, empirically-derived typology of primal world beliefs, and his research examines many of these variables and their impact on well-being, personality traits and character strengths, professional success, depression, and voting behavior.

In this podcast, we explore how our primal beliefs about the world impact our levels of wellbeing, trust, and success at work.
