#27 Angus Fletcher | The Absolute Wonder Of Stories & What They Teach Us

The Interview With Angus Fletcher 🎙️: https://atlasgeographica.com/angus-fletcher-wonderworks/ Angus Fletcher joined me on 'A Curious Worldview' recently. He is, among many other things, the author of the wonderfully insightful book - Wonderworks: 25 Powerful Inventions In The History Of Literature.Angus has been involved in a 'rouge literary' group known as project narrative for some time and as consequence now and then throughout his career has been involved in the writing and editing of both popular and unpopular Hollywood scripts. Angus is a trained neuroscientist and it is from this perspective he approaches his understanding of literature. What Angus has done is uncover inventions of literature that until now have only been understood on an instinctual level. Angus has measured what certain styles and techniques of literature do to the brain. How empathy is trained through literature. Why apologies are effective. Things along these lines. It's brilliant.Jump In On My Newsletter 📋 🔑 - https://atlasgeographica.com/subscribe-----Link To Wonderworks - https://www.amazon.com/Wonderworks-Powerful-Inventions-History-Literature/dp/1982135972-----LEAVE YOUR ENERGY IN THE ALGORITHM - 5 STARS & SUBSCRIBE!Are you into Nassim Taleb?

#24 James Robinson | 'Why Nations Fail' - Institutions Are Everything

Article On The Interview With James Robinson🎙️: https://atlasgeographica.com/james-robinson-interview/James Robinson is a British economist and political scientist. He studies what makes countries different by focusing on the underlying economic and political institutions that lead some to prosperity and others to conflict. He most famously co-authored the international best selling book, Why Nations Fail.He has conducted research in many countries around the world including Botswana, Chile, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, the Philippines, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Colombia and I am sure many more as well.The coolest and most insightful takeaway from 'Why Nations Fail' is the long explanation that distinguishes between inclusive and extractive institutions. This dynamic explains ultimately 'Why Nations Fail' and Why Nations Succeed. The book is strongly endorsed by Jared Diamond - which was the initial reason why I picked it up, but once you get into it it is the historical anecdotes that keep you around.I could have spoken to James for hours, for me the most fascinating topic is how and why nations differ - so you can imagine, this chat meant specifically a lot to me.Jump In On My Newsletter 📋 🔑 - https://atlasgeographica.com/subscribe​-----Link's To Books & Articles Mentioned Why Nations Fail Africa's Latent Assets-----LEAVE YOUR ENERGY IN THE ALGORITHM - 5 STARS & SUBSCRIBE!Are you into Nassim Taleb?
