Martin Friedman interviews Chantel Prat in this new podcast. Chantel is a professor in the department of psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience at The University of Washington. Martin and Chantel explore the power of the mind from a scientific perspective. Together they dive deep into what they think makes the mind so powerful. Chantel believes that the perceptions we develop in our minds are what make it the most powerful. We develop our own perceptions of the world based on our observations and experiences. Chantel explains that our brains process data based on our lifetime experiences. Every single mental experience shapes our brain. It is important to understand how our minds are developed because we will be fighting against a lifetime of experiences to reprogram them. Martin and Chantel also explore how difficult it can be to create human solidarity when our minds are constantly in conflict. Chantel explains how we can try to convince others to see our way of thinking instead of trying to understand another perspective. We are starting in the wrong place when we begin with trying to change someone’s mind. Martin and Chantel believe that leading with honest communication about our reality is the best way to approach conflict. Thank you for taking the time to listen to this amazing podcast. We are so excited to be exploring new podcast topics and we hope to have Chantel back very soon.
