The Influential Mind by Tali Sharot: Explainer
Why Do Facts Bounce Off, and What Actually Moves a Mind?
Ever shared convincing facts, evidence, or carefully prepared arguments, only to find that someone remains firmly attached to their original opinion?
Changing minds is not always as simple as presenting more information. The way people think, feel, interpret choices, and respond to others can all influence whether a message is accepted or rejected.
The Influential Mind Explainer distils key ideas associated with neuroscientist Tali Sharot’s work into an accessible guide to human influence, persuasion, decision-making, and behaviour. Explore why logic alone may not be enough and how psychological and social factors shape the way people respond to information.
