How Minds Change

Scott Lynch
About this episode

We find ourselves in an era where many minds seem to be closed. Why do we believe certain things, why do we keep believing, and why do we stop believing? The answers can be found in a brain-bending investigation exploring the limits of reasoning, the power of groupthink, and the effects of deep canvassing. In this episode, I discuss my notes on ideas and concepts I found interesting from How Minds Change, by David McRaney.
