Witness to Yesterday (The Champlain Society Podcast on Canadian History)
Greg Marchildon interviews Nelson Wiseman about his new book Partisan Odysseys: Canada’s Political Parties, published by the University of Toronto Press in 2020. Wiseman is professor of political science at the University of Toronto and a scholar with deep historical interests. Professor Wiseman explains why the Conservative and Liberal parties became and remain Canada’s establishment parties at the federal level and in many provinces. He also traces the origins and evolution of parties of protest and regional parties such as the CCF-NDP and the Bloc Québécois – what he calls “disrupter” parties – and how they came to challenge the dominant parties in some parts of the country. He also delves into the history of minority governments and the separation between the federal and provincial wings of political parties.
Have you heard someone say “he was just born lucky”. Today we will talk about the science of luck, optimism, mindset and ways you can change your luck to create more opportunity in your life. Spoiler alert…you can! Professor Wiseman is an innovative psychologist from England whose field of study is luck. For over 17 years he has studied extraordinary men and women who were amazingly accomplished in their fields compared to us “average” joes. Through extensive research and experimentation, Professor Wiseman was able to prove that "lucky" people see more opportunities directly influencing their overall success. My favorite experiment he did is called the Newspaper Experiment. He put a group of lucky and unlucky people together and gave them a newspaper. For our younger listeners, if you don’t know what that is, google what is a newspaper? He asked those in the test to count the number of pictures inside. On average, the unlucky people took about 2 minutes to count page-by-page all the pictures. The lucky cohort took just a few seconds. How is that possible? Well on page 2 of the newspaper in very large type was the following sentence “Stop Counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper”. The lucky group saw it and stopped right away. The unlucky kept on counting. Just for fun, Dr. Wiseman placed a second set of large text halfway through the newspaper that said “Stop Counting, Tell the experimenter you have seen this and win $250”. The unlucky group missed this opportunity because they were still counting photographs. They just didn’t see this opportunity right in front of their face. The reality is that people aren’t born lucky. And luck isn’t random. Your thoughts and behaviors drive the good or bad things that happen day to day. What Wiseman found is that we generate our own luck and capitalize on opportunities that are in the world through 4 basic principles: 1. Lucky people are skilled at noticing or creating opportunities (like we saw in the newspaper experiment) 2. Lucky people listen to their intuition…said differently, they trust their gut 3. Lucky people have positive mindsets and expectations that help shape their successes 4. Lucky people show incredible resilience so when they encounter “bad luck” or negative experiences they can turn it into good The most interesting thing to me is that Richard Wiseman then setup a luck school to see if he could teach the unlucky people to be luckier and see more opportunities. After 30 days, 80% of the attendees felt happier, more satisfied with their lives and careers and reported to be luckier. If you want to boost your luck, here are two easy ideas from Wiseman’s luck school that we can all do. The first principle is all about noticing opportunity and lucky things that happen to us. He suggests keeping a luck diary. At the end of each day, spend a couple of moments writing down the positive and lucky things that happened. Another way to boost your luck is to check your routine. If you are stuck in a rut and doing the same things and seeing the same people every day, you could be missing out. The research found that lucky people are open to and try new experiences. This makes them meet new people, see new opportunities to make relationships but to also make money and we like that on Calm Cash. Ultimately the lucky people take more risks which creates more upside for big success. So if you feel like you’re in a rut with your routine, mix is up and see what happens. Sit in a different place at work. Take the train instead of driving into work. Eat at new restaurants. Maybe you will add a lot more entries to your luck diary and find personal and financial opportunities along the way. Just remember, you make your own luck and your own success --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/calmcash/message

This week Skepticality is pleased to once again speak with noted 'Quirkologist' Richard Wiseman, the Professor of the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom and fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI). Swoopy talks with Professor Wiseman about his recent paranormal investigations and the initial findings from his Hauntings: The Science of Ghosts project that was presented as part of the 2009 Edinburgh International Science Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman started his working life as a professional magician and currently holds Britain's only Professorship in the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire. He frequently appears in the media, and has written over 60 academic articles and several books, including the best-selling The Luck Factor. Theatre of Science, his new show in collaboration with Dr. Simon Singh, is making its American debut with a run at the Theater for the New City in Manhattan as part of CFI's Science + Art festival, and is sponsored by Skeptical Inquirer magazine. Featuring lie detectors, bolts of lightning, backwards masking, and contortionist Delia Du Sol, this show revives a Victorian tradition in which audiences attended the theatre to see scientific demonstrations as entertainment. Theatre of Science previously played to sold-out audiences and rave reviews at the Soho Theatre, in London's West End. In this conversation with D.J. Grothe, Professor Wiseman discusses Theatre of Science, the intersection of science and art, and the role science plays in our society. He also explores strategies that science advocates can use to confront anti-science trends in our society. Also in this episode, Nathan Bupp explores a humanist answer to the question "Where are we going?"
