Lectures by Professor Peter M. Vishton, College of William & Mary.
Lecturer: Professor Peter M. Vishton, William & Mary.
What if you aren't as in control of your actions as you think you are? What if your subconscious is driving your decisions without your approval? Is there a way to "hack" your brain to perform better, live healthier, and break your bad habits? We all can think of things about ourselves we'd like to change, but as neuroscientists are coming to realize, changing our behaviors isn't as straightforward as you might think. Many of our everyday decisions are rooted in the subconscious, which means we have to "outsmart" our own brains to see results.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Highly Recommended submitted by krogers on June 14, 2020, 5:06pm This is one of the more interesting courses I've listened to, with an engaging speaker who provides very practical tips but also the research explanations behind them. A good bit of the techniques are counterintuitive and there's a lot here that's otherwise not obvious. And while some of the tips might take some time and effort to use, a great many of them are simple and can be put to immediate use. All or nearly all of the lectures are grouped into logical, manageable chunks that make it practical to listen to even when driving.
