Podcasts about Jonah Lehrer

The Belgian-born French writer Georges Simenon (1903-1989) was astonishing for his literary ambition and output. The author of something like 400 novels, which he wrote in 7-10 day bursts (after checking with his physician beforehand to ensure that he could handle the strain), he's perhaps best known for his creation of Chief Inspector Jules Maigret, who appeared in 75 novels or so. In this episode, Jacke takes a look at Simenon's childhood and relationship with parents, his marriages and affairs (he once claimed to have slept with ten thousand women), and the approach to narrative and prose that continues to delight readers and critics alike.

Look around and you will likely see someone doing something on their cellphone. For many of us, cellphones are a necessity and a constant companion. What about your relationship with your cellphone? This episode begins with a look at how Americans use their cellphone, how often they check it, and how they feel if they don't have it. You can then compare and see how you fit in with everyone else. https://www.reviews.org/mobile/cell-phone-addiction/ Why are some people overweight? The assumption is that they simply eat too much food and the way to lose weight is to simply eat less. But what if the real answer is not to eat less but to eat BETTER. There is some compelling science to support that, and it is what Mark Schatzker is here to discuss. He is a writer-in-residence at the Modern Diet and Physiology Research Center at Yale University and author of the book The End Of Craving : Recovering the Lost Wisdom of Eating Well (https://amzn.to/3QPFS1l) People like mysteries. It seems to be human nature that we want to figure out how a magic trick is done or figure how whodunnit in a murder mystery. Think of all the movies, TV shows, books and podcasts that revolve around a mystery - and we want to solve it. Here to explain why mysteries are so appealing and how we can all use mystery to our advantage is Jonah Lehrer. He is a writer journalist and author of the book Mystery: A Seduction, A Strategy, A Solution (https://amzn.to/3QvN6aZ). When you go grocery shopping on a hot summer day, you've probably worried about food melting or getting too hot and spoiling in the car on the way home. Is it safe to run another errand or two while the groceries are in the car or is that flirting with danger?

* Unrelated non-programming note from Moynihan: “As some of you might recall, and as I mentioned in the intro, last year I beseeched listeners to help my amazing daughter Livia (and her gymnastics team) raise money for pediatric cancer. And last year, you guys came through in such a crazy way that one parent asked me if I was “some sort of cult leader.” I said no. I'm only a cult co-host. So thanks in advance! Oh, and the event is tomorrow!” THE LINK* Back in July, Kmele and Moynihan talked to a room full of students at FIRE's annual student conference in Philadelphia. Much fun was had by all. And it was recorded. So…here you go.* A generous Greg Lukianoff intro. And some stuff about Kmele and Moynihan and Jonah Lehrer.

Dawn Walton, a human therapist, and Jess Probst, a dog behaviourist talk about the new Mali puppy that Jess has called Percival, and how he is already demonstrating behaviours that could lead to large problems once he's older, if you didn't have a knowledgeable owner. He's quite difference to the golden retriever puppies. We talk about the looking at the behaviour rather than using labels to set expectations, and providing alternative behaviour choices rather than just trying to control the dog. What is the intent behind the behaviour? We talk about the transformation in the owners who were on the most recent residential and how they were able to apply what they learnt to new owners with over-reactive dogs. We refer to "The Decisive Moment" by Jonah Lehrer and the Growth Mindset by Carol Dweck and how hard it is to get humans to recognise change. We need to redefine failure and focus more on the process and the progress.

To wrap up our deep dive into storytelling, this week, we've decided to re-run one of our top episodes from last year's GrowOp Summer School. Polish your skills in mastering this art form by listening to our interview with author of Mystery: A Seduction, a Strategy, a Solution with Jonah Lehrer.

This week, on APG Grow Op Summer School, as part of our series on storytelling, we spoke to Jonah Lehrer, how to leverage mystery.

You can totally hack into other people's heads. It sounds dastardly, right? But you can tweak other people's memories. On Mind Hacks, Heather Fishel cites the work of Dr. Jon Lieff and writes: “Once an event occurs and time moves on, it becomes a part of your memory. Each time you recall that event and its details—smells, sounds, details, and so on—you're not, in fact, remembering the original moment. Instead, you're recalling the last time you remembered that memory.” But it's more than that. We tweak those memories to make better stories: Fishel says: “Wired writer Jonah Lehrer points out, human nature makes us love stories, and the more exciting and engaging a story is, the more we'll want to share it. As a result, when we recount our memories both internally and to others, we ignore any facts that don't suit the plot. Our minds allow us to toss aside any information that we dislike, replacing truth with pure fiction. Why? We simply want to fit in, and unless we change what we remember, our stories will suck.” We will tweak our own memories so we don't look dumb, so we fit in, so we tell a better story, and we usually don't even realize that we're doing it. And sometimes we have totally false memories. What is a false memory? According to VeryWellMind, false memories “are misremembered, distorted, or fabricated recollections of past events. Such memories can be trivial, such as mistakenly remembering where you put your car keys, but they can also be much more serious.” The big time consequences of false memories are the stuff of novels and tv shows: false convictions, financial loss, lawsuits, children dying in heated, locked cars. But it is also a smaller scale thing. You are sure you left your cell phone on the desk. It is not on the desk. It is on the table. You have to wonder how many poltergeist cases are rooted in false memories, right? You think you shut the closet door, but the closet door is open. You are positive you locked the door. The door is unlocked. You think you saw Bigfoot when you were six, but did you really, Carrie? Ahem. I'm the first to admit that I'm no longer sure. Verywellmind has three strategies culled from researchers to help deal with false memories, which we are quoting here. Use imagery: Researchers have found that when people use imagery to create a visual representation of information, their memory for that information is better and less susceptible to false memories.10Search your memory: Experts also suggest that selectively searching memory for mistakes and falsehoods can sometimes be helpful.11Evaluate and corroborate memories: If you find a memory that you aren't sure about, evaluating it based on your expectations and then collaborating it using other people's recollections or other historical data can help verify or disprove it.11 But what's really wild is that psychiatrists like Elizabeth Loftus have found that there's a misinformation effect with memories. So, if you witness or experience an event and then talk about it, are questioned about it in a leading way, view tweets or news stories, or are exposed to the wrong information repeatedly? It can change your memory of that same event. Novelists can use this to help develop plots for novels. Mystery writers do it all the time making a detective call out the inconsistency in a witnesses' testimony, and sometimes in real life and novels people confess to a crime because of a false memory, believing they have committed a crime even though they haven't. But people can do this to each other too, as Fishel writes: “Try lying to them in a different way: tell them they didn't complete a task that they, in fact, did. For example, if your roommate can't seem to understand that doors need to be locked when leaving home, point out the unlocked door every single time you leave. Do this repeatedly over time, and your roommate will start double-checking and questioning himself every time he leaves home. "Did I lock the door? Did I completely forget?" What are the ethics here? Some people believe that this can be a force for good. But is controlling another person ever a force for good? It's like gaslighting but tweaked, right? So, use this knowledge wisely, friends. DOG TIP FOR LIFE Only manipulate your humans for good.

As parents and people, we tend to seek out certainty. We keep our kids in the same schools so they can have consistent friends. We cook the same group of recipes, so we're sure to have something ready for dinner without too much stress. And we encourage our kids to study hard so they'll be sure to get good grades, get into a good college, and get a good job. We feel that if things are certain, we can live comfortably without worrying about our teens too much…even if it can get a little boring!But what about mystery? Could adding a little bit of unpredictability into our lives make us happier? Might it prepare our teens better for the complicated world ahead? The truth is that uncertainty can be good for us…even if we try our best to make our lives predictable! Our guest this week champions uncertainty…in fact, he believes we should all encourage ourselves and our teens to incorporate a little mystery into our lives.This week, we're sitting down with Jonah Lehrer, author of Mystery: A Seduction, A Strategy, A Solution. Jonah is a neuroscientist who's written multiple bestselling books, as well as contributed to The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and more! After discovering his son's fascination with mystery, Jonah dove into research about the effects of unpredictability on the adolescent mind. Now, he's here to talk about just how powerful uncertainty can be!In our interview, Jonah explains why curiosity is an essential component of effective teen learning, and we discuss the importance of experiencing awe for both adolescents and adults. Plus, Jonah emphasizes the significance of living with uncertainty instead of searching for finite answers.

Jonah Lehrer joined us in August to discuss the psychology, neuroscience, and anthropology of why we love solving puzzles, finding patterns and discovering the unknown. He's the author of “Mystery: A Seduction, A Strategy, A Solution.”

Creativity is incredibly important to me. That's why I read Jonah Lehrer's book, Imagine: How Creativity Works, even though he's been disgraced for being a little too “creative” with his Bob Dylan quotes. Before he got himself disgraced, he made all the podcast rounds so not much of the book was a particular surprise to me. I've heard the story of the invention of the Swiffer. I know all about Pixar's architecture. I am familiar with 3M's post-it note development. However, the cumulative effect of reading the whole book made me feel like the people who really care about creativity are in business, not the arts. Businesses like 3M, Pixar and Wieden+Kennedy are in the business of innovating, so they do the studies. They run the experiments. They actually value creativity, it would seem.

Author and Journalist Jonah Lehrer, whose new book is Mystery: A Seduction, A Strategy, A Solution (Avid Reader Press). This week's Write the Book Prompt was suggested by my guest, Jonah Lehrer: Read a detective story and look for the false clues planted in the first five pages, or in Act I, depending on the work. In a Poe story or a Conan Doyle, there are so many missed leads, and you forget about them once you know the ending. But to create the surprise, a lot of work needs to be done. There are many mechanics involved in setting up that surprising twist. And studying the stories or novels of others can help us learn about those mechanics. Good luck with your work in the coming week, and tune in next week for another prompt or suggestion. Music Credit: Aaron Shapiro 706

How can you use elements of mystery to hook your readers, regardless of the genre you write? How can you make sure your writing process prevents errors or plagiarism? Jonah Lehrer covers these aspects and more. In the intro, KDP Print available in hardback; Bookvolts book-specific NFT platform [Medium]; Books for writers in the NaNoWriMo […] The post How To Use Mystery To Hook Your Readers With Jonah Lehrer first appeared on The Creative Penn.

Saya membahas buku How We Decide karya Jonah Lehrer. Buku ini membahas bagaimana cara kita mengambil sebuah keputusan. Seringkali, kita berpikir kalau proses sebuah pengambilan keputusan itu entah rasional atau emosional. Namun ternyata, tidak sesederhana itu. Keputusan terbaik merupakan gabungan sempurna antara rasional dan emosional, lebih penting lagi, situasi yang berbeda membutuhkan bagian otak yang berbeda. Misalnya, ketika kita membeli rumah, lebih baik biarkan sisi emosional kita yang memproses berbagai alternatif. Lain halnya ketika kamu memilih sebuah saham, bergantung pada intuisi semata malah mendatangkan kerugian.

I en allt mer digital värld blir möjligheten och tidsfönstret att fånga kunders intresse och påverka deras beteende allt mindre. Därför behöver metoderna i företags kommunikation och marknadsföring bli allt mer vassare och riktade för att få den eftersökta effekten. Nudging har på senare tid växt fram som en effektiv metod för att påverka människors beteende. En metod som är en kombination av beteendevetenskap (psykologi) och nationalekonomi (statistik) och används flitigt av progressiva myndigheter och framgångsrika företag för att påverka deras målgruppers beteende. Lyssna in på Evelina Gunnarsson, senior konsult på Ramboll Management Consulting, när hon berättar om begreppet nudging, varför det är så framgångsrikt i kommunikation samt hur det kan användas för att påverka målgruppers beteende. Evelina tipsar om bra böcker i avsnittet, de är: Nudging Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness - av Richard H. Thaler och Cass R. Sunstein The Smarter Screen: Surprising Ways to Influence and Improve Online Behavior - av Jonah Lehrer and Shlomo Benartzi The Power of Habit - av Charles Duhigg Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions - av Dan Ariely Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion - av  Dr. Robert Cialdini Bra länkar om nudging: Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X68dm92HVI TedTalks https://www.ted.com/topics/behavioral+economics   Vill ni komma kontakt med Evelina så hittar ni henne på LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/evelinagunnarsson/   - - - - - - - - - - Tillväxtpodden är till för dig som är intresserad av att leda eller bidra till att skapa tillväxt för dig och ditt företag.

COL. Katherine Graef is the current  Logistics Director of Special Operations Command Africa. Graef  has also served as the Director of Logistics in  Qatar, she commanded the  Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, and  taught as a  Military Professor at  the  Nava l War College in Newport, RI.  In this episode, Graef discusses how leading a group of high performers can  sometimes  be more challenging than leading  a group of mixed ability level.  Graef also presents how authenticity  became an explicit value for overcoming  her own adversity and through her experiences of  working with other leaders that lacked integrity and consistency.  She even admits how there were even parts of her career where she felt like a hypocrite. Listen to this Coaching Through Stories episode and learn how  Graef found her way to  authenticity  and how you can discover your own authentic path  and be your true self in the workplace.     NOTE: This podcast was recorded in January 2020, shortly after an attack on US forces in Kenya. Kathy mentions this attack contemporaneously as a current event in January. This attack did not occur in April when this podcast airs. Views presented in the podcast as reflective of COL. Katherine Graef’s personal opinions and are not those of the Department of Defense or any of its components.      Episode Highlights:    Graef’s current role as Logistics Director of Special Operations Command Africa has been the most challenging but the most reward role so far in her career    “It takes moral courage to look somebody in the eye and say, ‘Hey, you’re not meeting the standard.”   When leaders are faced with an employee who does not meet expectations, focus on the outcome you seek.   Reflect as a leader and ask yourself: 1. Are you providing the right instruction for your subordinates to be successful? 2. Are you as a leader giving an underperforming subordinate the tools needed to be successful? 3. Is your training or leadership style working for all of your subordinates?   Humans in general tend to gravitate toward problem-focused solutions to resolve issues rather than solution-focused. High performers approach problems with a solution-focused mindset.   Graef will test people if she feels integrity in compromised in someone and discusses how a lack of integrity is a deal breaker for her.   Leadership authenticity shows up in a leader’s ability to be consistent in the treatment of their superiors, peers, and subordinates. “You have to model and reward the behavior you seek.” A lack of consistency in leadership reduces credibility in the organization and the organization’s values.   A lack of alignment of authenticity creates stress, Graef discusses her journey of being fully authentic and how it empowered her to fully enjoy life   As a leader, you must understand what an organization needs from you and under what competencies are required to prioritize, perform, and thrive.   Understand what your followers need from you as a leader.   A leader must set the pace to avoid burnout and live a balanced life.    A high performing leader has the ability to balance humility and confidence.   Self-awareness is critical, a leader much learn the physical symptoms that come with self-doubt and lack of confidence.   Sometimes it takes a situation or some kind of adversity to occur in order to provide the opportunity for a leader to be great instead of just average   Resources Mentioned:   How We Decide  by Jonah Lehrer   Whistling Vivaldi: How Stereotypes Affect Us and What We Can Do  by Claude Steele   To learn more about how to become a resilient and adaptable leader please visit https://www.higherechelon.com/       Help us grow by leaving a rating or review on Apple Podcast  To learn more on how you can take your leadership to the next level, check out our service offerings: Resilient and Adaptable Leadership, Executive Coaching, and Change Management.  Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn

Psychologist Walter Mischel explains how one little test involving a marshmallow might tell you a frightening amount about what kind of person you are. And Radiolab favorite Jonah Lehrer helps us make sense of the results. This one's all about our will power (or lack thereof).   Correction: An earlier version of this piece incorrectly stated that the kids who performed better on the marshmallow test had higher GPAs in high school and went to better colleges. Those elements were not a part of Mischel’s original study. The audio has been adjusted to reflect this fact.

Before Jonah sat down and wrote A Book About Love he thought he’d never write again. He was at rock bottom. He’d lost his dream job, made some unforgettable mistakes and to top it all off, his 2 yr old daughter wouldn’t let him push her on the swing. And yet, he was in the midst of experiencing a type of love that we don’t normally see in the movies. The type of love that has changed the course of this podcast forever. Tune in to hear All About Love.

Hey all. In this episode I share my second conversation with Bill Reed from Regenesis Group and the Regenerative Practitioner Seminar (our first chat is here). It is a conversation I highly recommend in which we look in detail at several aspects of how the rubber hits the road in the regenerative development or living systems approach Bill works with. I also get a bunch of things off my chest at the start around bumping this whole conversation up a notch and inviting your input into where and how Making Permaculture Stronger evolves from here. Hope to hear from you (whether via a few bucks via our patreon page and/or your reflections and suggestions in the comments below or through the contact page). I have to say all this focus on the likes of Bill and Joel Glanzberg and Carol Sanford is starting to rub off on me. I have noticed that the language I use is on the move, the thoughts I think are on the move, and even my entire understanding of what the heck Making Permaculture Stronger is and could be about are on the move! Heed this warning my friends: these people are dangerous radicals who consciously mess with minds. As Bill says, they see what they do as a mental technology that is intended to frustrate and destabilise you out of your automatic patterns. Bill mentions this article by Jonah Lehrer in the New Yorker, I mention possibility management, and you can find out more about Regenesis Group here and Carol Sanford here. Example Purpose Statements including Function, Being, and Will As promised, here are the function, being, and will based purpose statements Bill shared: The Yestermorrow design / build school's purpose is to learn together through shared inquiry and hand-on experience the ways of making human habitat... (function)...in a way that expands our understanding of who we are and how to live in beneficial interrelationship with the earth and each other... (being)...so that we all can thrive in a world with limited resources and unlimited potential (will) and I’m going to take raw ingredients and transform them into a meal for my family… (function)…in a way that we sit down with our children and share our love for each other, or at least our daily events around the table… (being)…so that our children have the psychological wellbeing and nourishment to grow into responsible adults (will) As a recap the function aspect is about what are we doing and transforming? The being aspect is how do we want to be and what do we need to become to do this? Or as Joel Glanzberg has put it to me, what are the capacities to Be you are aiming to develop during this task? The will aspect is what is the larger field we wish to shift or positively impact? As Bill put it this is like asking what is the purpose of the purpose? Keep in mind also, if you can handle it at this stage (I barely can!) that Bill talked about paying attention to the so called three lines of work at function, then again at being, then again at will. The three lines of work are the immediate whole you are working with (might be you, or your school garden), the proximate whole (might be your team, or the school community) and the greater whole that you envisage being able to positively impact through your work (might be the farm, or the community the school is nested within). Here's a preliminary attempt I made at an upgraded purpose statement for Making Permaculture Stronger:55 Making Permaculture Stronger exists to hold a unique space for intelligent, collegial, and rigorous inquiry and dialogue into the subject of permaculture design process... (function)...in a way that respectfully honors permaculture’s incredible depth and value and openly explores ways its potential might be more fully and rapidly developed... (being)...so that it continues to thrive, grow and evolve in its ability to contribute positively to humanity and the earth (will) After some reflections on this from Joel Glanzberg (thanks Joel!),

Du står utenfor døren din og lurer på hvor du la nøklene dine. Hvorfor har vi ikke digitalisert nøkler? Og hvordan skaper vi mer frihet med åpne dører?

How do you choose to do or NOT do a certain thing? When or how do you know that your choice was the right one? In this message, Rev. John will utilize the social science scholarship of author Jonah Lehrer as he explores the intricate processes and decisions involved in finding and living in wholeness and happiness.   

Nervous Habits host Ricky Rosen addresses those pressing issues that are keeping you awake at night, including: --Why having millions of options in the modern dating world might actually be a bad thing... --Why you should be a "satisficer" rather than a "maximizer" in your love life... --How lack of investment and the transactional nature of dating apps turns everybody in a flake... --Why it's better to sprint in 2 minute intervals than jog for 30 minutes straight, and... --Why Tom Brady belongs in the conversation with Michael Jordan, Babe Ruth, and Muhammad Ali, as being among the greatest athletes ever. Corrections from the Podcast: 1. In the episode, I attribute the source of the concept of "maximizing" and "satisficing" to Jonah Lehrer, but it was actually coined by Barry Schwartz in his book, The Paradox of Choice. 2. The boxing movie for which Jake Gyllenhall got absolutely shredded was Southpaw (not the Fighter). Where to Go to Get More Information: 1.

Today we talk about how to be more creative. How to do you maximize creativity? I review a book called "Imagine: How Creativity Works" by Jonah Lehrer. The book breaks down a lot of studies and research about how people and corporations foster and/or boost creativity. You can learn from scientific research to help you boost your own creativity. It is not a "you are born with it" type of thing. Everyone has creativity in them. It is about working on it and putting yourself in the best position to maximize your results. Come learn for yourself, so you can achieve the creativity you want. Big Time Dreams!

Relacionamentos e ciência? cienciadopovo.com Em todo relacionamento há brigas, isto é fato. E, às vezes, esses desentendimentos duram grandes períodos. Até que uma hora as coisas se ajustam novamente – e o namoro, amizade, casamento voltam a serem bons, ou, não. Tem gente que simplesmente não consegue esquecer e superar os momentos ruins. Aí, ao contar a história para um amigo ou familiar, mostra todo o descontentamento com a relação em questão. “Tivemos uma briga horrorosa. Fulano é péssimo”. Este comportamento está sendo alvo de várias pesquisas. Pesquisadores conversaram com várias mulheres que estavam casadas há anos, indagaram sobre problemas que enfrentaram. E, quando elas relembravam os momentos ruins de uma forma negativa. Era tiro e queda: os casais se separavam em até 3 anos. Já as mulheres que viam as brigas como algo do passado, uma lição para os dois, continuavam casadas. Em geral, elas contavam mais ou menos assim: “bem, brigamos, foi horrível. Mas, arrumamos as coisas e agora estamos melhor do que nunca”. A partir daí, os cientistas começaram a prever a duração dos relacionamentos, começando a acertar em 94% das vezes, a duração e a qualidade. Em alguns relacionamentos, participantes vêem os desentendimentos como um sinal dos deuses de que deveriam mudar algo, ou, simplesmente, acabar a relação. Outros, vêem o momento ruim como algo que os fortalece, como algo que deve ser aprendido, com ciência. Referência: A Book About Love – 2016 por Jonah Lehrer (ainda sem tradução)

This week, Seth, Laurie and Tom talk about one of Seth's favorite topics: bullshit. The conversation ranges across a few recent newsmakers, including Jared Kushner, son-in-law of Donald Trump and owner of the New York Observer; Gay Talese, acclaimed journalist and author of the debatably non-fiction book 'The Voyeur's Motel'; and Jonah Lehrer, former writer for The New Yorker at the center of several plagiarism scandals.

IMAGINE: HOW CREATIVITY WORKS with Jonah LehrerDid you know that the most creative companies have centralized bathrooms? That brainstorming meetings are a terrible idea? That the color blue can help you double your creative output? In IMAGINE: How Creativity Works, bestselling author Jonah Lehrer will share with us a sparkling and revealing look at the new science of creativity. Shattering many creativity myths, Jonah echoes one of ConsciousSHIFT's themes, that creativity is not a single “gift” possessed by the lucky few. It’s a variety of distinct thought processes that we can ALL learn to use more effectively.Julie Ann will explore with Jonah the importance of embracing the rut, thinking like a child, and daydreaming productively ... and then take us out of our own heads to show how we can make our neighborhoods more vibrant, our companies more productive, and our schools more effective.We’ll explore Bob Dylan’s writing habits and the drug addiction of poets ... consider bartender who thinks like a chemist, and an autistic surfer who invented an entirely new surfing move ... see why Elizabethan England experienced a creative explosion, and how Pixar designed its office space to get the most out of its talent.By collapsing the layers separating the neuron from the finished symphony, Jonah will help us see the deep inventiveness of the human mind, and its essential - and conscious - role it can play in navigating, and co-creating in, our increasingly complex world.Join Julie Ann as she interviews her guest on ConsciousSHIFT - Jonah Lehrer, author of IMAGINE, who is also a contributing editor at Wired and a frequent contributor to The New Yorker - to discover how YOU can cultivate YOUR creative genius!

Airport Scanners to help with Distorted Body Image People with eating disorders often have a distorted view of their own bodies. Researchers at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen are now using 3-D body scanners to test whether giving this accurate feedback of body shape could help in the treatment of life-threatening illnesses like anorexia and bulimia. Chit-Lit, Scandi-Lit...now Neuro-Lit ! Why neuroscience is taking a leading role in the modern novel. Claudia Hammond talks to science writer, Jonah Lehrer, and to academic psychologist and writer, Charles Fernyhough, about the emergence of brain science in literature and considers whether new understanding of the brain can enrich fiction in the same way that Darwinism or Psychoanalysis did. Teenagers' Brains and Social Rejection It's long been known that adolescents are particularly vulnerable to being left out. They get hurt and feel the rejection very keenly. Research by Dr Catherine Sebastian at the Developmental Risk and Resilience Unit at University College London suggests this response could be explained by the developing teenage brain.

On Start the Week Andrew Marr discusses creativity with the writer Jonah Lehrer. In his latest book, Imagine, Lehrer unpicks the creative process in both science and art, to ask where inventiveness and imagination spring from, and how they can be harnessed. Experimental sound artist, Scanner, talks about creating unique musical compositions and his latest collaboration with the Heritage Orchestra at the Brighton Festival; and the novelist Joanna Kavenna considers the importance of nourishing creative ideas in writing fiction. She argues that everyone is born creative, although as we get older this innate imaginative ability is often suppressed or side-lined. Finally, the chemist, Rachel O'Reilly, explains the importance of the creative process in scientific research and how blue-sky thinking aids developments in nano-materials and technology.Producer: Katy Hickman.

Aired 04/08/12 Do you consider yourself to be creative? Do you think of creativity as a gift, a talent, something you either have or you don't? Do you find creativity to be a bit mystical or magical, dependent on luck, the muses, or higher powers? Today's guest, JONAH LEHRER, has written a book in which he looks at the latest brain science and attempts, in his words, "to collapse the layers of description separating the nerve cell from the finished symphony, the cortical circuit from the successful product." In Imagine: How Creativity Works, Lehrer makes clear, "Creativity shouldn't seem like something otherworldly. It shouldn't seem like a process reserved for artists or inventors or other "creative types." After all, he points out, the human mind has the creative impulse built into its operating system, hard-wired into its most essential programming code." Creativity is a variety of distinct thought processes that we can all learn to use more effectively. In the book, Lehrer reveals the importance of embracing the rut, thinking like a child, and daydreaming productively. He also shows how we can use this knowledge to make our neighborhoods more vibrant, our companies more productive, and our schools more effective. http://jonahlehrer.com

For this Snippet, we discuss Cultivating Genius in the 21st Century by Jonah Lehrer. (http://www.pagebreakpodcast.com/snippets/cultivating-genius)

“Two heads are better than one,” is often quoted but horribly wrong.  Trust me, I know. Anything with two heads is a monster. “Nothing was ever created by two men. There are no good collaborations, whether in music, in art, in poetry, in mathematics, in philosophy. Once the miracle of creation has taken place, the group can build and extend it, but the group never invents anything. The preciousness lies in the lonely mind of a man.” – John Steinbeck, East of Eden, Chap. 13, 1952 This is the point in the discussion where one could easily say, “Well, that's your opinion and Steinbeck's. But I happen to know that brainstorming as a team leads to better idea generation.” But do you know that, really? Or is brainstorming just another sacred cultural myth? Jonah Lehrer published a research article this week that eliminates the need for speculation and debate. Alex Faikney Osborn was the “O” in the famous advertising agency B.B.D.O.  Alex was full of ideas. His first book, How to “Think Up”, was published in 1942, followed by Your Creative Power in 1948, Wake Up Your Mind in 1952, and then in 1953, Applied Imagination: Principles and Procedures of Creative Problem Solving. In the opening paragraphs of http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2012/01/30/120130fa_fact_lehrer (Jonah Lehrer's marvelous research) into “Groupthink,” he writes, “Osborn's most celebrated idea was the one discussed in Chapter 33, ‘How to Organize a Squad to Create Ideas.' When a group works together, he wrote, the members should engage in a ‘brainstorm.' The book outlined the essential rules of a successful brainstorming session. The single most important of these, Osborn said, was the absence of criticism and negative feedback. Brainstorming was an immediate hit and Osborn became a popular business guru. The underlying assumption of brainstorming is that if people are scared of saying the wrong thing, they'll end up saying nothing at all. Typically, participants leave a brainstorming session proud of their contribution. The whiteboard has been filled with free associations. At such moments, brainstorming can seem like an ideal mental technique, a feel-good way to boost productivity. But there is one overwhelming problem with brainstorming. It doesn't work. The first empirical test of Osborn's brainstorming technique was performed at Yale University, in 1958. The results were a sobering refutation of Osborn. Although the findings did nothing to dent brainstorming's popularity, numerous follow-up studies have come to the same conclusion.” Interesting, isn't it? Sixty years of scientifically controlled experiments, studies and tests have proven brainstorming to be significantly less effective than individual effort but the brainstorming myth just won't go away. Here's the real kicker: discussion and debate – the very two things prohibited in a ‘brainstorming' session – have been repeatedly proven to bring out the best in us. And now I must pause to do my Happy Dance. Okay, I'm back now. I'm happy because Jonah Lehrer describes, in the second half of his research article, what has been proven time and again to be the ultimate environment for true creative breakthrough, “a space with an almost uncanny ability to extract the best from people… a magical incubator.” He then gives us a clear description of the kitchen and courtyard of https://wizardacademy.org/scripts/engHouse.asp (Engelbrecht House), the student mansion on the campus of Wizard Academy. Many of you reading this Monday Morning Memo will recall my greeting during the opening session on your first day of class at Wizard Academy. “Each of you came here to be enlarged by your instructor. You will, I promise, not be disappointed. But at the end of these days and nights together, as you prepare to go back home, you will realize that...
