Neuroscience professor Tali Sharot and Harvard law professor (and presidential advisor) Cass R. Sunstein have investigated why people stop noticing both the great and not-so-great things around them and how to “dishabituate” at the office, in the bedroom, at the store, on social media, and in the voting booth. Have you ever noticed that what is thrilling on Monday tends to become boring on Friday? Even exciting relationships, stimulating jobs, and breathtaking works of art can lose their sparkle after a while. Sharot and Sunstein say that many people stop noticing what is most wonderful in their own lives. They also stop noticing what is terrible. They get used to dirty air. They stay in abusive relationships. People grow to accept authoritarianism and take foolish risks. They become unconcerned by their own misconduct, blind to inequality, and are more liable to believe misinformation than ever before. But what if we could find a way to see everything anew? What if you could regain sensitivity, not only to the great things in your life, but also to the terrible things you stopped noticing and so don't try to change? For fans of Thinking Fast and Slow and The Power of Habit, Sharot and Sunstein offer a new study of how disrupting our well-worn routines, both good and bad, can rejuvenate our days and reset our brains to allow us to live happier and more fulfilling lives. Join us for a talk with Sharot and Sunstein about their work, based on decades of research in the psychological and biological sciences, and how they say it illuminates how people can reignite the sparks of joy, innovate, and recognize where improvements urgently need to be made.

Today's episode was recorded at ISF's 2023 Congress in Rotterdam. Steve sat down with Tali Sharot, professor of neuroscience at University College London, to talk about her fascinating research on optimism bias. Tali offers fresh, evidence-based ideas on effective communication for security leaders seeking to present their message to their board and raise cyber awareness within the organisation. Key Takeaways: 1. Innately, the brain is an optimist. 2. Implications for the business community. 3. Present bias means that people care more about now than the future. 4. Data is key, and pairing anecdotes with data can be more effective. Tune in to hear more about: 1. Sharot's research about how emotion affects memory (0:28) 2. Optimism bias has implications for the way we evaluate risk (4:25) 3. Sharot considers present bias and how it shows up in organisations (9:39) 4. Why storytelling is so effective when paired with data (15:30) Standout Quotes: 1. “It turns out that in behavioral economics, there was quite a lot of research about this thing called the optimism bias, which is our tendency to imagine the future as better than the past, than the present. And that's exactly what I was seeing in this experiment. And that was really the first experiment that I did looking at what goes on inside the brain that causes us to have these kind of rose-colored glasses on when we think about the future.” -Tali Sharot 2. “What we find again and again is that people underestimate the risk. And that's, of course, a problem. And it's not just underestimating risk. People also underestimate how long projects will take to complete, how much it would cost, underestimating budgets. All these are related to this phenomena of the optimism bias. And so it's really difficult to try to convince people that their estimate is incorrect. Because what we found is that if you give people information to try to correct their estimate, and you tell them actually, it's much worse than what you thought, your risk is much higher than what you're thinking, people don't take that information and change their belief to the extent that they should. They do learn a little bit, but not enough … However, if you tell them actually, you don't have as much risk as you think, you're in a great position, then they learn really quickly.” -Tali Sharot 3. “The immediacy is quite important, because we have what's called a present bias. We care more about the now than the future. In general, even if we're not aware of that.” -Tali Sharot 4. “And what stories do, they do a few things. First of all, we're more likely to attend to stories, right to listen, they're more interesting, they're more colorful, they're more detailed, we're more likely to remember them, partially because they usually elicit more emotion than just the data. So it's good to pair the two, to have the anecdote that kind of illustrates the data that you already have in hand.” -Tali Sharot Mentioned in this episode: Human-centred Security: Positively influencing security behaviour ISF Analyst Insight Podcast books by Tali Sharot  Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

In this moment, neuroscientist, Professor Tali Sharot, discusses why happiness is not the most important thing in life, and actually it is just 1 of 3 critical factors for a complete life. Most people think that the meaning of life for humans is to try and find the maximum amount of happiness, however this just factor one. Tali says that the second factor is meaning. Often in your life you do a task not because it will give you happiness but because it gives you a sense of completeness that comes from meaning. Finally, Tali says that we need what is called a ‘psychological rich life', which is basically a varied life. She says that this diversity in life is absolutely crucial as humans have evolved to have a desire to explore and face uncertainty.

While working on her Ph.D. on traumatic memory in New York, Dr. Tali Sharot witnessed the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers. She set out to investigate people's memories of the terrorist attacks and discovered that although people felt their memories were as accurate as a videotape, they were often filled with errors. She decided then to focus her research on how emotion affects people's memories and decisions. In today's episode, Tali tells us about the ways we are hardwired to be optimists and what determines how, and if, we are able to influence others.   Dr. Tali Sharot is the director of the Affective Brain Lab. She is a Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience in the Department of Experimental Psychology and The Max Planck UCL Centre for Computational Psychiatry at University College London and on the faculty of the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT. Sharot's research integrates neuroscience, behavioral economics, and psychology to study how emotion and motivation influence people's beliefs, decisions, and social interactions.   In this episode, Hala and Tali will discuss:  - Why memories are not as accurate as we think they are - Why most of us have an optimism bias - How optimism bias helps us to survive - Why we're optimistic about our own lives but not the world around us - Ways to bolster optimism and better performance - Ways to deter negative actions in others - How hope and fear influence people's beliefs - Why emotions influence our decisions more than facts - Why fake news goes viral - And other topics… Dr. Tali Sharot is the director of the Affective Brain Lab.

Dr. Tali Sharot is recognized as "one of the top female scientists in her country," and listed as one of the 15 exemplary female Israeli-born scientists alive. She's currently a Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at MIT, author of The Optimism Bias, The Influential Mind, and her latest book, Look Again: The Power of Noticing What Was Always There. In our conversation, Sean and Dr. Sharot discussed: What being an optimist is defined as? Is it better to be an optimist or pessimist in life, and in which situations are there benefits of being one or the other? Using negativity, such as Negative Visualization, as a positive tool The impact of social media and how that has impacted the way we approach life, including important decisions How can we make better decisions and avoid bias? How we can be more persuasive (everyday lives to the workplace) Non-verbal cues to look out for & much more If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts/iTunes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and a rating on our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠? It takes less than 60 seconds, and it really makes a difference.

What is the optimism bias? This is overestimating the good things that will happen in your future, despite all the evidence that may go against it. This is a systematic mistake that we all make as we always expect the future to be better than it ends up being and we underestimate the negatives that could happen. However, in this moment Dr. Tali Sharot discusses how the optimism bias can be a positive as our expectations of future happiness affect our happiness right now, it can motivate you to try harder to make this a reality. As Dr. Sharot says, “what we believe in our mind, changes the way we behave and the way we behave in the world changes the world”.

Toby Wise is a postdoc at UCL and Caltech. He uses computational modelling and neuroimaging to study the mechanisms underlying anxiety and depression. I first encountered Toby when he and I published separate preprints on PsyArXiv on the same topic (risk perception for COVID-19) within a few hours of each other.In this conversation, we talk about doing research about COVID-19: why we decided to do it, practical considerations, and differences and similarities between our studies. We also talk about open science practices.BJKS Podcast is a podcast about neuroscience, psychology, and anything vaguely related, hosted by Benjamin James Kuper-Smith.

Summary: On this episode of the ACT to Live podcast, Jaime and Scott discuss the commonly asked question - “Are you a glass half-full or a glass half-empty kind of person?” The two talk about the term optimism and make the realization that ‘being optimistic’ does not mean being happy all the time. Instead, being optimistic actually describes how a person views, thinks about, and responds to a challenging situation. Scott and Jaime then wrap up the episode by talking about some of the brain science that exists connected to optimism and creating a brand new word!  ACTion Event of the Week: Identify something in your life that you feel pessimistic about. Then, think about one step you could take, connected to this thing, in order to ‘practivate’ (practice + cultivate) a more optimistic mindset. On our next episode of ACT to Live, we’ll talk about the importance of connection - just in time for Thanksgiving! So Come On, Let’s Take a Walk! References  Hooper, E. (2017).

Die menschliche Tendenz zur Selbstüberschätzung wird in der Psychologie als Overconfidence Bias bezeichnet. Er ist einer der best erforschten Effekte und wurde in zahlreichen Studien bei Laien und Experten in verschiedensten Disziplinen und Kulturkreisen nachgewiesen. Nobelpreisträger Daniel Kahneman (Prospect Theory) bezeichnet in seinem Buch “Schnelles Denken, langsames Denken” den Overconfidence Bias als allgegenwärtig und sieht in ihm die bedeutendste aller kognitiven Verzerrung.  Warum ist Mensch von seiner Überdurchschnittlichkeit überzeugt? Was bedeutet diese verzerrte Wahrnehmung für Anleger und Anlegerinnen? Dieser Beitrag liefert Antworten auf diese Frage.

In her new book, The Influential Mind, neuroscientist Tali Sharot takes readers on a thrilling exploration of the nature of influence, so she and Shermer start the conversation by discussing how we can influence, for example, climate deniers to accept climate science, anti-vaxxers to accept vaccines, and creationists to accept evolution. As Sharot shows in her research, merely presenting people with the facts will not change their minds. There are other forces at work, which she reveals in this conversation and in more depth in her book. It turns out, for example, that many of our instincts—from relying on facts and figures to shape opinions, to insisting others are wrong or attempting to exert control—are ineffective, because they are incompatible with how people’s minds operate. Sharot shows us how to avoid these pitfalls, and how an attempt to change beliefs and actions is successful when it is well-matched with the core elements that govern the human brain. Sharot reveals the critical role of emotion in influence, the weakness of data and the power of curiosity. Relying on the latest research in neuroscience, behavioral economics and psychology, she provides fascinating insight into the complex power of influence, good and bad. Since she grew up in Israel, she and Shermer discuss the role of religion in terrorism and politics along with health and happiness. Tali Sharot is a Professor of cognitive Neuroscience at University College London where she directs the Affective Brain Lab. She combines research in psychology, behavioural economics and neuroscience to reveal the forces that shape our decisions and beliefs. Dr. Sharot is the author of The Influential Mind and The Optimism Bias. Her papers have been published in top scientific journals including Nature, Science and Nature Neuroscience. This work has been the subject of features in many outlets including the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, the BBC and others. She has also written essays for Time (cover story), the New York Times, the Guardian among others. She was a speaker at TED’s annual conference 2012 and a British Academy and Wellcome Trust fellow. She received her Ph.D from New York University. Listen to Science Salon via iTunes, Spotify, Google Play Music, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and Soundcloud.

In this episode, Tali Sharot, a cognitive neuroscientist and psychologist at University College London, explains our' innate optimism bias. When the brain estimates the outcome of future events, it tends to reduce the probability of negative outcomes for itself, but not so much for other people. In other words, if you are a smoker, everyone else is going to get cancer. The odds of success for a new restaurant change depending on who starts that venture, you or someone else. Sharot explains why and details how we can use our knowledge of this mental quirk to our advantage both personally and institutionally.

Tali Sharot is an Associate Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, and director of the Affective Brain Lab. Affective, as in emotions and motivation. Brain, as in processing and decisions. Drawing on recent groundbreaking work in behavioral economics and neuroscience, Sharot shows us how to navigate the intricacies and predictable biases of minds; our own and those of others. Dr. Sharot is the author of the new book The Influential Mind: What the Brain Reveals About Our Power to Change Others. When I saw the title, I knew I had to discover what she knows about influence: how we can do it well, and how we often screw it up.

In The Influential Mind, neuroscientist Tali Sharot takes us on a thrilling exploration of the nature of influence. We affect others just by moving through the world―from the classroom to the boardroom to social media. But how skilled are we at this role, and can we become better? Sharot reveals that many of our instincts―from relying on facts and figures to shape opinions, to insisting others are wrong or attempting to exert control―are ineffective, because they are incompatible with how people’s minds operate. She shows us how to avoid these pitfalls, and how an attempt to change beliefs and actions is successful when it is well-matched with the core elements that govern the human brain.

(There was a very short period in Mike's life where he thought he could handle his teaching job, write a book, host The Politics Guys, and start a new podcast – Politics Plus. It soon became evident to Mike how insane trying to do all this at once was, and so he quickly shut down Politics Plus. But before he did, he'd posted four interviews – all of which he thinks are pretty good and are worth sharing with you as Politics Guys bonus episodes.) *****   *****   ***** Mike talks to Tali Sharot, director of the Affective Brain Lab ( http://affectivebrain.com/ ) and an Associate Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience in the department of Experimental Psychology at University College London.
