My guest today is Geoffrey Cohen, the James G. March Professor of Organizational Studies in Education and Business, professor of psychology and, by courtesy, at the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University. He is also a faculty affiliate of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. His research focuses on how brief interventions can create long-lasting psychological and behavioral change. His focus has been on the psychology of self and belonging. He and his colleagues have shown how brief values-affirmations can benefit school performance, close political divides, and open people up to threatening information.

The topic is his book Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• The roots of the modern dilemma
• Why is belonging important?
• Modern society and the crisis of belonging
