Alison Armstrong’s exploration of human behavior began in 1991 with a decision to find out what brings out the best and worst in men. This naturally led to studying women’s behavior and making vital connections between the two. She then delves into her study of men, sparked by a comment made about her friend. Allison explores her initial assumptions about men and how they have been constantly surprised by their complexity. Tune in to discover more about Alison's fascinating exploration of who these people are.
