Episode notes

We are naturally changing what we say online. We're now posting stuff that we know is going to be on the edges of the spectrum because it will get more reviews and more likes and more shares. I believe these is to know that the algorithms inside social media news media are designed to find and foster that. It's radicalizing us. And we are, do you see anyone reviewing three stars? Do you see what I'm saying? You either got to be hyperbolicly positive orhyperbolicly negative, otherwise no one's going to read your reviews.

Shane's guest on this episode of the show is New York Times bestselling author Neil Pasricha, who returns for his second appearance on The Knowledge Project. We discuss the importance of gratitude and how simple acts can change the way you feel, where confidence comes from, the specific routines and habits you can use to counter anxiety, the recipe for building resilience, and so much more. Pasricha is the author of seven books which collectively have sold over 2 million copies and spent over 200 weeks on bestseller lists, including The Happiness Equation and Two-Minute Mornings. His first TED talk, “The 3 A’s of Awesome,” is ranked as one of the 10 Most Inspiring of all time, and he also hosts a podcast called 3 Books, where he uncovers the 1,000 most formative books in the world. Neil previously appeared on Episode 72 of the The Knowledge Project, one of the show’s most downloaded conversations to date. His new book, Our Book of Awesome, will be released Dec. 6.
