Join our hosts for Wednesday’s show where we will be discussing: ‘Does Social Media need to be regulated?’ and ‘Born Lucky?’ Does Social Media need to be regulated? Social media connects the world—but it’s designed to keep us hooked. Endless scrolling, instant likes, and constant notifications can consume hours and affect mental health. How much time are we really spending online, and at what cost? Is it time to bring social media use under control? Born Lucky? Are some people just born lucky? How important are hard work and dedication to achieving our goals? What role does random chance play in our lives? These are some of the questions we would like to address in our show. Join us as we go on to consider what makes us feel lucky and the role of an open mindset. Guests: Dr Sheila Redfern: Consultant Clinical Psychologist Professor Thomas Hills: Professor in department of Psychology at the University of Warwick. Steven Hales: Professor of Philosophy, at the Commonwealth Institute of Pennsylvania, Bloomsburg. Mats Kolbjornsen: Confidence Specialist Adam Harris: Professor of Cognitive and Decision Sciences, at UCL, London. Producers: Durr-e-Sameen Mirza and Nabeela Shah
