Episode notes

i think i'm better professional than i was a graduate student. The people around me were no longer telling me, at each level, this is what you should be interested in. I got to do that myself and i think benefited from ity. Here's something as interesting about when i look back, i was a better high school student than an elementary school student. And i was a better college student than high school student. It helped me become resonant with in myself and with the things i was doing.

In this dialogue, based on the new edition of his highly acclaimed bestseller (over 5 million copies sold in over 40 languages), Robert Cialdini — New York Times bestselling author of Pre-Suasion and the seminal expert in the fields of influence and persuasion — explains the psychology of why people say yes and how to apply these insights ethically in business and everyday settings. Shermer and Cialdini discuss: Cialdini’s Universal Principles of Influence and 7 Principles of Persuasion, pluralistic ignorance, free will/determinism, cults, conformity, #BLM, #metoo, antiracism, social justice, and human rights. How rational are humans? Do we default to truth and naturally believe what people tell us? Are we natural-born skeptics or natural-born sheep?
