And it made me realize that I think too often we talk about changing a mind in a way which suggests that the mind is not tethered to the person. You know, when you hear the story of someone changing their mind, really what you're hearing is a story of someone who changed their life. You're hearing someone who radically altered the way they see themselves and the world.

And that's a very personal thing. So, I mean, I can answer some of your question by saying that over and over again what worked for these people were things that were quite strikingly emotional, things like who you believe and who you trust and who you love and your sense of self.

But I also think it's really important to remember that when we set out trying to change people's minds, you know, both the things I just said, namely, It's astonishingly unpredictable and deeply, profoundly personal.

And if we forget that, then we run the risk of doing what I just did with my catcalls, namely just like spinning our wheels and getting more and more frustrated with the fact that we're not making progress while not in fact changing the strategies that we're using.

Let me illustrate them with some of the stories. So The things that stood out to me in the research were things that were really emotional and really personal. So things like who we believe, as in like the way that we allocate trust in the world, things like how we see ourselves, our own picture of our own identity, the things that we hope for, the things that we wish were true.

These kinds of things went into the ways that people change their minds in really quite surprising ways. One of the ones that stands out to me is the story of Dylan who left what is functionally a cult. It's a very strict religious sect that has very harsh punishments for people who leave or people who dissent in any way or people who speak to people who are outside the sect.

And Dylan had grown up in this sect. He had spent 20-something years only hearing from people who believed what this sect believed. And he ultimately left the sect. He left the sect kind of quite quickly. It was a matter of like three days when he ultimately changed his mind.
