Brett explores shared humanity, connection, and compassion through his Laws of Stuff, reminding us that while we’re made of the same stardust, what truly matters is how we choose to show up for one another.

I’m talking about deep, dark, soul-crushing betrayal.

If you remember it vividly, your stomach might be tightening as your heartbeat quickens just thinking about it. Betrayal can be heartbreaking and enraging all at once.

We’ve all heard the notion that emotions drive our decisions, but I’ll bet that you, YES YOU, the person reading this, believe that notion applies more to others than to yourself. We like to think of ourselves as logical, impartial, and fair decision-makers. Let’s explore that.

I don’t remember exactly how this realization came to be, but it felt heavy, like a sense of duty. It was so strong that I thought everyone felt the same and was aligned with it. I saw it reflected everywhere: in sustainability, finance, thought patterns, conservation, war and peace—even politics.

“YES! This is it! THIS is the wisdom of mankind and of my people! And THIS is the lesson we shall teach to all my subjects across my kingdom!”

My dad, Bob Morris, invented “cool.” If you ever met him, you know exactly what I mean. He rarely got excited or emotional in any way because he was just too cool.
