Today’s guest is Dr. Christopher Chabris. We talked about his new book (with Daniel Simons), “Nobody’s Fool.” Chris is a cognitive scientist. His research in this field focuses on attention, decision-making, collective intelligence, cognitive ability, and behavioral genetics. Outside of the his academic community, he is a known chess master, and best known for his book (written with Daniel Simons), The Invisible Gorilla. Chabris and Simons won an Ig Nobel Prize for their Invisible Gorilla experiment, from which the book idea stemmed. The two have now published a new book, “Nobody’s Fool,” about how our cognitive tendencies and habits and the information we find appealing can be used against us, even though most of the time they’re really effective. In all the movies and podcasts and articles and so on about scams, they talk about what the con artists did, how they were caught, how the victims felt about it, and what the victims did about it. But none of them really explain why people keep falling for these scams. Nobody’s Fool takes a cognitive science approach to doing just that. It is now available in bookstores everywhere, on Amazon, and at their publisher's web site (links below). * * * * * * LEARN MORE ABOUT THE BOOK * * * * * * Publisher's Page (with links to all major book-selling outlets) https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/daniel-simons/nobodys-fool/9781541602236/ * * * * * * SUPPORT THE SOCIAL EXCHANGE * * * * * * Subscribe To This Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7UKA-74CZdv-MimwmK4V0Q Donate to Patreon: https://patreon.com/thesocialexchange Listen on Your Preferred Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-social-exchange/id1333527133

Welcome to episode 82! I t's been a while (sorry!) Today I spoke with Sarah Ward M.S., CCC/SLP and Co-Director of Cognitive Connections, LLP. We discussed strategies that she has developed-- for both children and adults-- to sharpen their executive functioning skills to enhance learning and life. Examples of the skills that Sarah works with people to enhance: AND MORE! We also discussed the limitations of diagnoses as well as the overuse of the term "motivation". And many more topics.

Welcome to episode 81! Today I spoke with journalist, podcaster, and author David McRaney about his new book, "How Minds Change". We discussed his interviews with and research on cult members, conspiracy theorists, and political activists, from Westboro Baptist Church picketers to LGBTQ campaigners in California – that ultimately challenges us to question our own motives and beliefs. In an age of dangerous conspiratorial thinking, can we rise to the occasion? Let’s get into it. Please enjoy this interview with David McRaney.

In this interview, Stanton Peele discusses his memoir, "A Scientific Life on the Edge: My Lonely Quest to Change How We See Addiction." More importantly, Peele recounts his life story, both in this interview and in his memoir. Beginning with his General Theory of Addiction that he put forth in his 1975 book "Love and Addiction", followed by a discussion of his career as an outsider in mainstream addiction psychology -- an outsider whose knowledge, views, and contributions can never be ignored. He goes on to explain how he managed to maintain an influential career in psychology and remain focused on his life-purpose, despite never being affiliated with institutions or organizations in his life. Finally, he explains to me how and why he continues to pursue meaning, both in life and in the addiction field. ***SUPPORT THE SOCIAL EXCHANGE*** Donate to PayPal: https://paypal.me/zrhoads Contribute to Patreon: https://patreon.com/thesocialexchange Use our Audible Link for a free audio book: http://audibletrial.com/socialexchange *****RATE / REVIEW The Social Exchange https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-social-exchange/id1333527133 - - - - - - - - - - THANK YOU to all of our Patrons! - Pat Casey -Dora -Jeffrey Singer - Steven Rabinowitz - Jessie Dunleavy - Andrew Tatarsky - Dean LeMire - Christy McPherson - Nunzio De Martino (Courtesy of "Don Nunzio Limos" https://donnunziolimos.com/) - Susan Lennon - James Stacks - Chris L - W Leon Naufahu - Sherry Chandler - Dee-Dee Stout - Christopher Hanlon - André Pampel - CARTER Vermont https://www.cartervermont.org/ - Rick Barnett - Anne M.

Zach Rhoads speaks with Maia Szalavitz about her new book, "Undoing Drugs", which traces the history of Harm Reduction from the movement's genesis to the way it affects mainstream thoughts, beliefs, policies, and behavior.

Dr. Erec Smith is a professor of rhetoric and composition at York College and former Chair of the York YWCA Racial and Social Justice Committee. Today, he and I talk about racism in America, and what he believes are the best ways to make this country a fair, diverse, and thriving one. Smith appreciates much of the sentiment behind Critical Race Theory (CRT) and anti-racism curriculum, but believes these movements (and their rhetoric)-- as they have been mainstreamed-- are headed in the wrong direction. He offers a new idea about how we might make progress, which he calls the Empowerment Model. In addition to his position at York College, Smith is Associate Director of the Institute for Civic Arts and Humanities, co-founder and co-editor of "FreeBlackThought", a writing fellow for Heterodox Academy, and author of the book, "A Critique of Anti-racism in Rhetoric and Composition: The Semblance of Empowerment." - - - - - - - - - - SUPPORT THE SOCIAL EXCHANGE Donate to PayPal: https://paypal.me/zrhoads Contribute to Patreon: https://patreon.com/thesocialexchange Use our Audible Link for a free audio book: http://audibletrial.com/socialexchange *****RATE / REVIEW The Social Exchange https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-social-exchange/id1333527133 - - - - - - - - - - THANK YOU to all of our Patrons! - Pat Casey -Dora -Jeffrey Singer - Steven Rabinowitz - Jessie Dunleavy - Andrew Tatarsky - Dean LeMire - Christy McPherson - Nunzio De Martino (Courtesy of "Don Nunzio Limos" https://donnunziolimos.com/) - Susan Lennon - James Stacks - Chris L - W Leon Naufahu - Sherry Chandler - Dee-Dee Stout - Christopher Hanlon - André Pampel - CARTER Vermont https://www.cartervermont.org/ - Rick Barnett - Anne M.

Todd is a documentary film maker and his most recent film, "The Last Stop" is today's conversation topic. The Last Stop is a film about the Élan School, which was a controversial school / treatment facility for so-called juvenile delinquents which existed in the deep woods of Maine. That’s ExisTED, past-tense, because the Élan school was closed down in 2011 due to allegations of abuse which dated back to its opening in 1970. (This is a rebroadcast from an episode I recorded in 2019)

Curt Jaimngal is the co-creator (with Desh Amila) of the documentary film, "Better Left Unsaid". The film shines a light salient cultural issues that are difficult to discuss in a balanced way (at least publicly): namely, the radical arms of both left and right wing politics. "Better Left Unsaid" explores leftist social justice theory and how it turned into censorship and orthodoxly, as well as right-wing nationalism racism and violence. In the film, Jaimungal explores history and discusses what has happened, previously, when these cultural frameworks have been left unchecked and were allowed to influence policy. He also offers a window into his own mind-- how he thinks about and makes sense of these issues, and what any given person can do about them. Today Curt and I discuss these topics in detail, as we explore ways to be a thinking and constructive citizen. You'll see that his thoughts and beliefs are well-researched but they're also fluid; changeable. He struggles with his own ontological sense-making and takes no shortcuts when discussing difficult issues. He argues (at least tacitly) that struggling with an internal dialectic is a crucial process for an individual who wants to be a critically-thinking and relevant sense-maker. I enjoyed the discussion and I hope you will too. - - - - - - - - - - SUPPORT THE SOCIAL EXCHANGE Donate to PayPal: https://paypal.me/zrhoads Contribute to Patreon: https://patreon.com/thesocialexchange Use our Audible Link for a free audio book: http://audibletrial.com/socialexchange *****RATE / REVIEW The Social Exchange https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-social-exchange/id1333527133 - - - - - - - - - - THANK YOU to all of our Patrons! - Pat Casey -Dora -Jeffrey Singer - Steven Rabinowitz - Jessie Dunleavy - Andrew Tatarsky - Dean LeMire - Christy McPherson - Nunzio De Martino (Courtesy of "Don Nunzio Limos" https://donnunziolimos.com/) - Susan Lennon - James Stacks - Chris L - W Leon Naufahu - Sherry Chandler - Dee-Dee Stout - Christopher Hanlon - André Pampel - CARTER Vermont https://www.cartervermont.org/ - Rick Barnett - Anne M.

Aaron Burroughs grew up singing gospel music for a black church in Ann Arbor Michigan. He moved to Verrmont as an adult and started a band (an entire style of music) inspired by his gospel roots as well as his love and admiration for musicians like Prince, Whitney Houston, Parliament and more. Or, you might say he started an entirely new genre of music. You see, Burroughs took the familiar-to-some preacher-esque energy and aesthetic, and turned it into dance-worthy funk, soul and party music. He was a major influence in Vermont, where he started his group, "Funkwagon", and Vermonters are lucky that he decided to take on this life-changing project in our neck of the woods. Of course, my bias leans heavily on Burroughs, since I was fortunate enough to be one of his band-members and song-writers. One example of his MO: He and I (and others in the group) took a traditional gospel song called, "Been So Good To Me"-- whose chorus was, "Jesus, you've been so good to me", we arranged it as quick-pace, four-on-the-floor tune, and we changed the words to "Baby, you' been so good to me". You can hear our version of the song in the outro music of this episode) I give him the full TERRY GROSS on this episode as I discuss his upbringing; his move to VT; what it was like to be a gay black man in a state that is 97% white; his family dynamics; his current projects, and much more.

Brian Cuban tells Zach about his history with addiction, which included drugs and alcohol as well as a dysfunctional relationship with diet, exercise, and body image. Cuban explains that while most people who suffer body dysmorphic disorder are female, most people don't realize just how many men feel shame about their body image---- to the extent that they overcorrect with extreme and unhealthy diets and workouts, as he did. He also discusses his relationship with family members, including his brothers--- one of whom is Mark Cuban, the billionaire "Shark Tank" star and Dallas Mavericks owner.

I interviewed Dr. Carl Hart about his book, "Drug Use For Grown-Ups", when it first hit shelves (Jan. 2021). This originally appeared on the weekly Life Process Program podcast (LPP is an harm reduction oriented addiction program I work for), but it's worth sharing with you now. Many of you won't have listened to the original podcast and I think it will bring you value! At the same time, I want as many people to hear Dr. Hart's message as possible. Let us know what you think!

Eric White is the creator and host of theEWpodcast. He doesn't podcast just to be a "sage on the stage" but to have valuable conversations with people who interest him and can bring value to a greater audience. He and I have that in common. Eric and I talk about his backstory-- including a bout of depression and recovery from it-- then discuss what it means to find purpose and meaning in life. Finally, we have a meta conversation about podcasting: why we do it, why it brings us value, and how having interesting (even difficult) discussions a.) makes us better people; b.) empowers people in our circles of influence.
