i used to look forward to his segment all the time in npr. I'm surprised that this interesting show had only 55k views in the last 10 years (I'm writing this in 2023).
Funny, I just listened your NPR broadcast on Happiness 2.0, it's was about refraining from the things that make us happy and how we will appreciate them more if we have less of those things. But at the end of the program you ask people, if you enjoyed the program to subs ribe to the podcast.....what kind of game are you having? Lmao I really enjoy your show on NPR and look forward to Sundays at 6. And you must know that they enjoy the shows or they wouldn't be tuned in. And I will not be subscribing to the podcast because that would remove .y enjoyment. Deal with it. Lmao
Another example of finding what you are looking for, confirmation bias, is the belief that one can guide their life outcomes by how positively they think.
Nice talk, he speaks faster when giving a talk than in the podcast, but I got used to it pretty quickly. Unfortunate that the questions were cut out of the upload, even having him repeat the question into the mic would've been better than having to piece it together from his answers.
Someone should study me. I became a widow at 50 and lost my only child at 67 and I still don't believe in any delusions. I even tried because I was desperate but to no avail.
+Hari Sanagaram You must be nuts or an arse kisser. I know Shankar from back home, and his wife (who was married before). I know Shankar's family. This man has a huge chip on his shoulder, and if anything hates Hindu values. I mean you cannot even spell Shankar right. If you did what you did with islam and compared him with the mohammed character you would be beheaded--as the religion demands it. It is only with Hindu Dharma you can get away with shite like this. About his book, the hack is talking about Freudian slips and subconscious, when recent scientists like Mahzarin Banaji, Tony Greenwald, have demonstrated implicit biases. No self-respecting cognitive scientist would even quote Freud. This man is not a Freudian, he is as Freudian as Wendy Doninger. He has not idea what a Freudian is, and what training it takes to be one. His prior story on Neuroscience was voted the worst example of Neuro-journalism or chaff by the McDonnell Foundation. I know Shankar from my growing up days and he is a mild-mannered asshole with a chip on his shoulder.
+Rama Dasa Thank you for correcting my spelling mistake. I have expressed my opinion repectfully and didn't ask anyone to concur with me nor I have offended anyone.
Too bad it is not based on rational thought and logically sanctioned inference. But I suppose that is an up hill battle when one is trying to present the findings of psychological "science" (LOL: and why is psychology a science? Simple "because we use the scientific method". In a just world [another of psychology's rigorous "theories"?!) this simple minded confusion of necessity with sufficiency would disqualify academic psychology from any claim to being a science.)
Watching this in 2021 and drawing parallels to all the deceived Trump supporters on 1/6. So interesting! That they don't look in their hearts and "see" their racism was enlightening.
Why do we need to listen to a journalist about psychology, when we can actually refer to the science instead of the "opinions" of one person (however well explained) based on their anecdotal experiences and untested theories ?
The problem with the belief that successful people are successful because they think positive thoughts is, unfortunately, just another way of blaming the victim.
0:58 I've figured out a lot of the things shankra vandantam 😂 talks about as a kid and as an adult. The kind of stuff universities study for years!!! 1:47 Someone said YEAH!!! 😂😂😂😂 2:15 they encouraged you to be the (LITTLE MAN BEHIND THE SCREEN) 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Those two guys are hilarious!!! 13:55 ok this is stupid how can a kid become biased without having it taught to them by another person with bias. It takes interaction to develop biased opinions. If there were just kids they most likely would not have the prior interactions to develop a biased opinion. The biased opinion your daughter got from the books (you) picked out and the authors of the books and the people choosing to become nurses!!! 7:43am 1/20/20 what audiance was the host talking about NPR WBOI HMMMMM!!! Where ya'll talking about my son? Or was ya'll talking 💩??? Basically ya'll are talking about me either way (I'M RIGHT!!!) 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Don't Delay with your response!!! And if ya'll do I'm still right. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Delay is where ya'll fu🤬 up!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 7:56am 1/20/20 (YEAH!!!) WHAT!!!
Am looking for humor somewhere in our "hidden brain?". Does Mr. Vedantam have an OUNCE of humor anywhere???????? Cannot stand his radio program on NPR, along with Ira Glass's attempt.
It's supposed to be inspiring. Not everything is a comedy show, though I'd recommend Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend and the Jeselnik and Rosenthal Vanity Project if you're looking for humor. Both are very funny at times.
Of course, people would rather attribute their success to their own positive thinking, and conversely to attribute others' lack of success to their lack of positive thinking. More victim blaming.
The Hidden Brain is the ultimate misinformation program devoted to the pseudo-science of academic psychology. The misinformation is simply aided by the host. The source is the scientifically invalid offerings of the perpetrators (academic psychology). Psychology is not a science (in anything remotely resembling the tenets still adhered to -- e.g., objectivity and quantification [what, e.g., are the units of a thought?] -- by current scientific endeavors). The real question is "should psychology aspire to be a science?" The answer is far from clear. Unthinking folk will offer the juvenile reply "but...we use the scientific method". First, you do not (you misuse it by substituting number for phenomena that cannot be unitized, much less captured in non-Procrustean fashion. Second, this slogan (we use the method) conflates necessity and sufficiency in a rationally juvenile manner. It is a shame such BS is promulgated by NPR. Fox perhaps, but NPR!? A really sad comment on the state of scholarship in the world.
Why is every argument being made here being based on feelings. There are about 80 "studies" being references throughout this video, yet nothing of substance. This man is nothing but noise.
@@sbklein Yes. English was my second language at school. Now I can't say thinking is the third. Because there's not an object called me that which is thinking. Thinking creates the me, at the same time the thoughts are formed in me. It's impossible to say what created what. So we could say, both are one and the same. Without me there are no thoughts, without thinking, there's no me. The mind creates this universe(multiple things), at the same time, without multiplicity there's no mind.

Greatest Podcast. Be sure to donate and support what a wonderful thing to have
I love his show.
Hidden Brain is always interesting, informative and often inspiring. I forwarded Grit (airing April 5, 2016) to many friends with young grandchildren.
Love Shankar, awesome book!
Wonderful speech and thanks for your great works and the contributions Shankar Vedantham!
Thank you . I love this podcast.
This was such a humbling book

Love love love hidden brain😊
With each time I hear this man speak, my brain becomes less hidden.

"Nothing succeeds like success" means that people prefer to do business with successful people.
Pode-se ouvir em português?

He got a book how tricking oneself is a way to self-improve, and for self despicable person like me, it might be the only way.
I wonder if there is anything ORIGINAL in this video !!!!
Someone should study me. I became a widow at 50 and lost my only child at 67 and I still don't believe in any delusions. I even tried because I was desperate but to no avail.
What are you trying to have ? Are you trying to jave delusions? Why?
every saturday @3 pm on NPR
See Malcolm Gladwell for other theories about why people are successful.

People prefer to be told what they want to hear, as in "The Emperor's New Clothes."

Norman Vincent Peale's theory about the "Power of Positive Thinking" has been largely debunked by social scientists.
