Image
  The Gobi is not the desert people imagine. One may think of endless golden sand and towering dunes. But the Gobi is different. Most of this enormous desert is filled with rubble, breezes, parched channels, and void pads. Some areas have mountains too. Spanning the southernmost parts of Mongolia and the northernmost reaches of China, it forms one of Asia's most unique landscapes. As if the Gobi holds something special.

These 50 psychology facts about human behavior explain a lot more than you'd expect — and some of them are honestly a little unsettling once you notice them in your own life.  We Make Way More Decisions Than We Realize Here's a number that surprised me: researchers estimate we make around 35,000 decisions a day. Most of them happen on autopilot. You don't consciously decide to check your phone every few minutes — your brain just does it. This is why willpower feels like it runs out by evening. It's not laziness. Your brain has simply spent its decision-making fuel on a hundred tiny things you never even noticed. Why Your First Impression Is Almost Never Wrong (Or Right) You form an opinion about someone within seconds of meeting them. Some studies say it takes less than a tenth of a second. Th...
