Tali Sharot (@affectivebrain) is an associate professor of cognitive neuroscience, the founder and director of the Affective Brain Lab at University College London, and author of The Influential Mind: What the Brain Reveals About Our Power to Change Others. What We Discuss with Tali Sharot: When hope is a better motivator than fear -- and vice versa. Facts and figures don't tend to change minds already aligned to a certain opinion -- in fact, they can have a backfire effect that further entrenches people in their beliefs. The four factors that determine whether or not we're likely to change our beliefs. What happens when new evidence doesn't fit our beliefs, but it fits what we want to believe. When trying to persuade, it's better to seed a new belief than to contradict the old one. And much more...

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) joins us for this deep dive into three surprising ways to cope with suffering that we've learned during our recent period of massive change, stress, and uncertainty. "All experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed." -The Declaration of Independence What We Discuss in This Deep Dive: The difference between suffering and pain. The three thoughts that make up the architecture of suffering. The phenomenon of meta-suffering. How much of the suffering we endure is actually under our control? The beliefs and mindsets we can adopt to manage suffering more effectively. And much more...

"I'm so happy that I learned to like books instead of social approval." -Ed Latimore What We Discuss with Ed Latimore: What Ed Latimore learned from growing up in one of the worst environments in America. Why it's never too late to make big changes in your life -- and how to kick off the process if you're feeling resistant to making those changes. How Ed rebuilt his life from the ground up after one of his biggest defeats. Fear is a more powerful motivator than the desire to change. Why would someone who pulled Cs and Ds in high school math choose to double major in math and physics on a second try at college? And much more...
