Description

In an increasingly polarised world, conversations with those who hold different views can feel impossible. Yet, it's often just one conversation away from reshaping someone's worldview. David McRaney, a self-delusion expert and psychology nerd, sets out to understand what influences others' beliefs and how they form in the first place. He explores how people change their minds through personal stories of individuals who have undergone significant shifts in their views, including those who were de-radicalised on Twitter or turned away from conspiracy theories. By distilling the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, McRaney reveals that beliefs can take hold surprisingly quickly - sometimes in an instant. This insightful analysis offers a fresh perspective on how our thoughts, perceptions, and beliefs are formed and modified.
