Cognitive scientist and host of the podcast 'A Slight Change of Plans' Maya Shankar joins Jameela this week to discuss what we attach to our identity, how there is a competitive advantage to being great listeners, what could be the antidote to loneliness and we find out the three types of empathy and discover maybe Jameela does have empathy after all.

Check out Maya's podcast - A Slight Change of Plans - wherever you listen - and look out for her TED Talk (available from July 25th, 2023):

Who are you, and how do you transform in the face of change? Cognitive scientist Maya Shankar shares three questions you can ask to find out who you are when the world feels like it’s shifting under your feet. First: “How does this change change what you’re capable of?” Next, “How might this change change what you value?” And third: “How might this change change how you define yourself?” Shankar shares stories — and the science behind change — of people who stepped out of their comfort zones and rigid mindsets and found themselves changed for the better. Maybe through their experiences, and Shankar’s own story as well, a new, lesser traveled yet more rewarding and expansive path rich with possibility awaits.
