Think you remember the argument clearly? You don't. Jon Guy Pt.2
23 Sep 2024
What if your beliefs and decisions could be fundamentally transformed by just one book? Meet Jon Guy, who, after 17 years in an American prison, emerged as a beacon of critical thinking and skepticism. In this episode, we unravel Jon's incredible story of self-discovery behind bars, where he devoured over 750 books and penned "Think Straight." Together, we navigate the treacherous waters of cognitive biases, from the Socratic method to confirmation bias, using both scholarly explanations and a light-hearted tale about my husband's wet towel habits to highlight their impact on our daily lives.Jon and I dive into the fascinating world of memory retention and discuss how our memories morph over time, much like an old man's embellished storytelling, influenced by our evolving beliefs and ideologies and we explore the intriguing concept of flashbulb memories and their degradation over time. Tune in to sharpen your critical thinking skills and navigate life's uncertainties with newfound clarity and confidence.Meet with Annie - https://go.oncehub.com/AnnieMcCubbinWhy Smart Women YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@WhySmartWomenJon Guy Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085709716619The Curious Case of Science - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-CKN2dg3Y7D-mkJZo1wzDg Send us a message!Support the showProudly sponsored by COUP — helping brands cut through the noise with bold, smart marketing.
