Worum geht’s?

Psychology

You probably see yourself as a unique individual in control of your thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. However, chances are that most of us are influenced by the people and dominant beliefs of the societies and communities we live in. After all, we're only human and we cannot deny our innate desire for connection and acceptance. In this collection of Blinks and Shortcast episodes, you'll discover the power of peer pressure, how to use influence to your advantage, and learn how to accurately assess and influence social situations in both your personal and professional life. And if you're looking to break the mold, you'll find some inspiration to being a life of non-conformity too.

This is the story of a friendship, as strong as they come, and how that friendship impacted the lives of millions for the worst. They say "it's not what you know, but who you know", and in this episode Malcolm Gladwell will show you why we should pay attention to the friends of those in power as much as the powerful themselves.

Psychology: Baby Judge School
Psychology: Baby Judge School
Of all life’s referees, judges are perhaps the one we hold in the highest esteem. We wish to believe that their decisions are purely rational; their temperament impervious to emotion. But recent studies have shown that judges are far more susceptible to being influenced by their feelings than we might like to think. So how can we be sure judges aren’t giving harsher sentences because they’re tired? In this episode, Michael Lewis explores that question and in doing so, discovers Baby Judge School—where judges learn to notice and mitigate the effects of their emotions. What he finds there is a lesson about the difference between how we perceive ourselves and the reality.
