In today's episode, we talk about...  - Why he wanted to turn his class into a book - Why he calls psychology a young science - What people get wrong in regard to memory - What you need to know about implicit bias - Why you can’t overcome biases on your own - What makes us unique - How appropriate amounts of anger can be useful - What makes people happy - Why we tend to go along with the crowd - Why people tend to join “evil” groups ...and so much more!  ✨ If you loved today’s conversation, and you know someone who’d benefit from hearing it, please share it with them.  HANGOUT WITH ME ON INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/courageously.u/   TODAY'S SHOW NOTES: https://courageouslyu.com/dr-paul-bloom/
