Less is More

<p>At every stage of life, there are moments when we need buy-in from other people. Yet most of us make a fundamental error when we try to persuade others to see things our way. This week, we talk with <a href="https://www.london.edu/faculty-and-research/faculty-profiles/s/sivanathan-n">Niro Sivanathan</a> of the London Business School about how to make a convincing argument. Then, we learn about what happens to our brains and bodies when we're the recipients of information. <a href="https://www.depts.ttu.edu/comc/faculty/faculty/bmclaughlin.php">Bryan McLaughlin</a> of Texas Tech University shares why it's so hard, but so important, to unplug from the news. </p><p><i>Have you ever wondered where the concept of implicit bias comes from?
