Mass Psychosis: How An Entire Population Becomes Stupid & How To Get Ahead Of Everyone | Dan Ariely PT 1`

Published: Oct. 31, 2023, 8 a.m.

Welcome to Impact Theory where I like to bring in guests that will challenge your thinking and help you rise to the occasion of defining your purpose and thoughtfully choosing how to live life well.\nToday, I\u2019m unpacking the complexity of human rationale and the lack of it as we encounter more global conflicts and people are seemingly losing their minds. The buffet of misinformation which my guest today calls \u201ccorrosive\u201d information is highly triggering one-sided social media arguments taken as truth based on number of likes and shares, and biased news outlets that exist to turn profits pushing watered down information in the new era of headline consumption.\nMis-information overload is quite literally rotting the brains of people around the world at alarming rates.\nDan Ariely, not only challenges the status quo with his groundbreaking research into human irrationality at Duke University, he also confronts the mass psychosis and misinformation epidemic, using his profound understanding of behavioral economics and personal experiences to shed light on our predictably irrational patterns of thought.\nCheck out Dan\u2019s latest book, Misbelief, What Makes Rational People Believe Irrational Things: https://www.amazon.com/Misbelief-Rational-People-Believe-Irrational/dp/0063280426\xa0\n\nFollow Dan Ariely:\nWebsite: https://danariely.com/\xa0\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/danariely\xa0\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/danariely/\xa0\n\nSPONSORS:\nGet 5 free AG1 Travel Packs and a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D with your first purchase at https://bit.ly/AG1Impact.\nRight now, Kajabi is offering a 30-day free trial to start your own business if you go to https://bit.ly/Kajabi-Impact.\nHead to www.insidetracker.com and use code \u201cIMPACTTHEORY\u201d to get 20% off!\nLearn a new language and get 55% off at https://bit.ly/BabbelImpact.\nTry NordVPN risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee by going to https://bit.ly/NordVPNImpact\nGive online therapy a try at https://bit.ly/BetterhelpImpact and get on your way to being your best self.\nGo to https://bit.ly/PlungeImpact and use code IMPACT to get $150 off your incredible cold plunge tub today.\n***Are You Ready for EXTRA Impact?***\nIf you\u2019re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.\nWant to transform your health, sharpen your mindset, improve your relationship, or conquer the business world?
