âInvisibilia explores how the almost imperceptible differences in the way we think or behave can have huge impacts on our lives. In these two episodes, the hosts, Lulu Miller, Hanna Rosin, and Alix Spiegel, tell lively, well-researched stories about the power of expectations and social norms.âÂ
Useful?
Useful and fascinating! You learn all about how small changes in behavior can make a big difference in outcomes. In âHow to Become Batman,â a blind man explains how he can ride a bike by using simple clicking noises. We could all use this kind of ingenuity!
Fun?
The wit and laughter of the hosts weaves seamlessly with their thoughtful and intelligent questions. The hosts pose intriguing questions right at the beginning of each podcastâquestions like: âCan a ratâs behavior change based on the researcherâs expectations alone?â or âWhy was it so hard to open a McDonaldâs in Russia?â It was difficult to stop listening; I look forward to checking out more of their episodes!
Would you recommend this to someone?
I would recommend this podcast to anyone interested in psychology, behavior, or popular science. It encourages listeners to be more aware of subtle, simple things, like smiling or cryingâthings that have the potential to change (or save) your life.
