This podcast episode explores the concept of transactional relationships and the impact of invisible transactions on our perceptions and experiences. It emphasizes that transactions are at the heart of all voluntary relationships, and while in a good relationship the transaction remains invisible, it becomes apparent when things go wrong. The section also discusses the challenges of unspoken transactions in relationships and the importance of slightly undervaluing what is given and slightly overvaluing what is received to maintain longevity. The speaker highlights the deep connection between our feelings and the perception of value and introduces their online self-study program for achieving top percentile scores on the GRE exam.
