You 2.0: Trusting Your Doubt

À propos de cet épisode

<p>We conclude our month-long You 2.0 series with a look at the hidden power of doubt — not as weakness or indecision, but as a tool that helps us make better choices and navigate an uncertain world. Researcher <a href="https://www.darden.virginia.edu/faculty-research/directory/bidhan-l-parmar" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bobby Parmar</a> explores how doubt can sharpen judgment, and makes a case for why the ability to sit with uncertainty may be one of the most important skills of all. Then, in our latest installment of "Your Questions Answered," <a href="https://www.asc.upenn.edu/people/faculty/emily-falk-phd" rel="noopener noreferrer">Emily Falk</a> answers listeners' questions about defensiveness, and offers insights into how we can strengthen our ability to give and receive feedback. </p> <p>In this episode, you'll learn:</p> <p>*Why uncertainty and doubt feel so uncomfortable to our brains. </p> <p>*Why intuition can lead us astray, and how to know when doubt can help you make better decisions. </p> <p>*How the "pursue," "protect," and "pause and piece together" systems in our brains shape our decision making.</p> <p>*How stress can affect these brain systems and alter how we make decisions. </p> <p>*How our desire to avoid blame makes it more difficult to listen to our doubt. </p> <p>*Why we tend to prefer decisive leaders — and why this tendency doesn't always serve us well. </p> <p>*What researchers have learned about how experts and novices use doubt differently to navigate complex situations. </p> <p><i>Hidden Brain is coming to Philadelphia and New York City!
