We think secrets protect us.
Often, they exhaust us.
On @HiddenBrain , we talked about why concealment consumes more mental energy than we expect — and why the decision to reveal isn’t about honesty vs. dishonesty.
It’s about calibration.
When does disclosure help? When does it hurt?
These are questions I explore deeply in Revealing.

NPR's "My Unsung Hero" series is great. Sometimes they're on pretty small issues, but sometimes they're pretty deep. And it's just good to hear about people doing good in the world. npr.org/series/1134955065/my…

I was so honored to be a guest on @HiddenBrain to talk about the power of family storytelling
"[Stories] become ways of understanding both how the world works and how we fit into that world.”
This week, we talk to @RobynFivush about how stories shape who we are.

Best discovery of July was Hidden Brain. Been nourishing my mind with Shankar Vedantam’s & his guests’ insights on human behaviour - revealed in such a listenable way.
"You start asking yourself, if I'm wrong about this ... what else might I be wrong about? — @drvantongeren
This week, we explore a rare but powerful trait: humility.

My @HiddenBrain interview on "The Friction Project" dropped today
@ShankarVedantam did a masterful job of framing (and editing!) our conversation to focus on leading organizations that implement innovation, rather than just perform innovation theatre

Darden prof and entrepreneurship expert Saras Sarasvathy was recently featured on the hit podcast @HiddenBrain to explain her research on the (at times) counter-intuitive steps expert entrepreneurs take on their way to success.

A moving episode with a lovely story by @AnthroPearson at the end.
“He didn't view her through the lens of deficiency.”
This week, we talk to @anthropearson about the stories and contradictions that have shaped our perspectives on disability. open.spotify.com/episode/2hD…

I highly recommend @HiddenBrain's series US 2.0. I listened to a few episodes this weekend while working outside in my yard. Very very good and helpful information. Here's the first in the series: hiddenbrain.org/podcast/us-2…

Hidden Brain is one of my absolute favourite podcasts! Insightful, thought-provoking, educational. 💜
I especially recommend their current series US 2.0 that looks at the psychology of conflict, polarisation and political divides. 👌
Give it a listen 🎧
We live in a world that feels more divided than ever. This week, we continue our US 2.0 series with a look at how we can bridge even the greatest divides. apple.co/4byF9wW

Learned so much, thank you @HiddenBrain

The Ugly Side of Beauty is one of my favorite episodes of @HiddenBrain. Talk about mind blown. I’m feeling more intelligent from having listened, yet very stupid realizing how biased I most certainly am.
Rec for interested in better understanding society and themselves

This is perfect...thank you Shankar
Let’s say you want to reach a big goal in the coming year. You might be tempted to ask: How did other people get to where I want to go?
“But you can't follow somebody else's map because no one is starting from the same place that you are,” says organizational psychologist @AdamMGrant.
In this week’s episode, better strategies for tapping into our potential. hiddenbrain.org/podcast/how-…

Part 2 of this amazing @HiddenBrain episode is now available and it’s equally as good as the first part.
Honestly one of the best I’ve ever listened to.
