I can attest to a similar reaction.
When I ask myself why I am hanging around you guys, the answer is mostly "to learn more about why people think what they think and do what they do, even when it seems to make no sense" and "How do I avoid being like that?". Not sure how to effectively summarize it into a catchy soundbite.
"A group that talks about human motivations to make sure we're not ignoring any important reasons people do what they do."
"Not ignoring" means it isn't a group where everything that ever happens is best explained as being primarily due to a single cause: "because of government interference with the market", "because of failing to appreciate our inner potential", "because of the patriarchy" or similar narrow single-explanation nonsense groups.
