This week Alberto sat down with Dr Tali Sharot, one of the world’s leading cognitive neuroscientists, Professor at MIT and UCL, and a global authority on optimism, decision making, memory, and influence.
Dr Sharot’s research challenges the idea that humans are rational decision makers. Instead, she explains how optimism bias, emotion, and anticipation shape the choices we make, the memories we form, and the way we respond to information.
This episode turns complex neuroscience into practical insight that applies to work, relationships, learning, and everyday life.
You will learn
Why optimism is hardwired into the brain and how it affects resilience and success
How emotion shapes memory more than accuracy or facts
Why telling people they are wrong rarely changes their behaviour
How to become more optimistic
Practical ways to make better decisions and communicate with greater impact
