Analagous to #motivationalinterviewing
#youarenotsosmart podcast covers these issues well

I listened to a fascinating episode of the You Are Not So Smart podcast while out running over the weekend. The focus was on a new book by Will Storr called The Status Game and he was full of insights.

Some of the most important takeaways for me were around:
There are three main status games: dominance, virtue, and success
Status games are hard […]

I've been figuring out how to do that better for years. #youarenotsosmart podcast and his recent book is a good introduction to this.
@ECityMom I find I can listen but I struggle to read longer texts. So here's the podcast where I learned about visual vs word thinking. Bonus, it includes Temple Grandin, who is a visual thinker, and a very famous/influential/brilliant Autistic writer and inventor. (You had been asking about Autism) She also wrote a book about visual thinking. [You Are Not So Smart] 248 - Visual Thinking - Temple Grandin #youAreNotSoSmart

248 - Visual Thinking - Temple Grandin • You Are Not So Smart - Podcast Addict

Temple Grandin was born in 1947 at a time when words like neurodivergent and neurotypical had yet to enter the lexicon, at a time when autism was not well understood, and since she didn’t develop speech until much later than most children she might have led a much different life if it hadn’t been for people around her who worked very hard to open up a space for her to thrive and explore her talents and abilities. In this episode we discuss all that as well as her latest book, Visual Thinking, all about three distinct ways that human brains create human minds to make sense of the world outside of their skulls.

He also has a book out on the topic called How Minds Change

254 - I Never Thought of It That Way - Mónica Guzmán • You Are Not So Smart - Podcast Addict

This is the first episode in a three-part series about how to have difficult conversations with people who see the world differently, how to have better debates about contentious issues, and how to ethically and scientifically persuade one another about things that matter – in short, this is a three-part series about How Minds Change (which is also the title of my new book).There seems to be a movement afoot, a new wave of nonfiction about how to reduce all this argumentative madness and epistemic chaos. I want to boost everyone's signal on this issue, so I thought it would be nice to collaborate instead of compete, since that's part of what we are all proselytizing with these books.So this episode’s guest is Mónica Guzmán, the author of I Never Thought of It That Way – a book with very practical advice on how to have productive conversations in a polarized political environment via authentic curiosity about where people’s opinions, attitudes, and values come from. In short, it’s about how to reduce polarization and learn from those with whom we disagree by establishing the sort of dynamic in which they will eagerly learn from us as well.- How Minds Change: www.davidmcraney.com/howmindschangehome- Show Notes: www.youarenotsosmart.com- Newsletter: https://davidmcraney.substack.com- David McRaney’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/davidmcraney- YANSS Twitter: https://twitter.com/notsmartblog- Mónica Guzmán’s Website: https://www.moniguzman.com- Mónica Guzmán’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/moniguzman- I Never Thought of it That Way: https://www.moniguzman.com/book- Braver Angels: https://braverangels.org- My Article on Intellectual Humility: https://bigthink.com/the-well/change-your-mind-intellectual-humility/

Turns out that not even during staycation can I find time to catch up on all the podcasts I allegedly 'follow'.

Finally got an hour free, but how to choose‽

Luckily, #YouAreNotSoSmart recently interviewed half of #Lingthusiasm - a two-for-one!

Thanks @gretchenmcc and David McRaney, I could listen to yous chat all day.

YANSS 194 – How memes, text messaging, emojis, and internet culture are expanding the range of human expression and, ultimately, our minds

Our guest in this episode is Gretchen McCulloch, who is a linguist, but also, I’d say a MEME-ologist, evidenced by that the fact that in her New York Times Bestselling book, Because Internet: Under…
