    On the Spectrum of Humanity: Thriving in a Neurodivergent World with Sol Smith

    A diverse world is a happy world. It may seem that neurodivergent people are more common now, but the increase in diagnoses is attributed to awareness and diagnostic tools, not a rise in the population. Neurodivergence is a distinct way of experiencing the world, with many neurodivergent individuals successfully thriving in a society traditionally designed for neurotypicals. This shift in perspective celebrates the full spectrum of humanity and recognizes that a world that accommodates and celebrates all types of minds is a richer and happier one.

To seek the antidote for the rise of device addiction and the decline of human connection, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen talks with Dr. Carl D. Marci, a leader in the field of social and consumer neuroscience, about the impact of digital technology on brain health. Dr. Marci talks about how our devices can cause addiction and who is most susceptible. He also shares tips on how to consciously complete a digital detox and prepare ourselves and our children for the next wave of AI technology, as well as concrete findings from his book, REWIRED: Protecting Your Brain in the Digital Age.

    Why We Believe Lies: Groupthink, Cognitive Bias, and the Spread of Political Misinformation with Stephan Lewandowsky PhD

    The pervasive nature of social media can undermine the democratic process by facilitating the widespread dissemination of political misinformation and a decline in critical thinking. This phenomenon can be exacerbated by groupthink, where individuals conform to the prevailing opinions of their social circles, and various forms of cognitive bias that lead people to favor information confirming their existing beliefs, even in the absence of evidence.. To better understand the power of groupthink and cognitive bias, Harvesting Happiness Podcast host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with cognitive scientist and Cognitive Immunity Research Collaborative (CIRCE) researcher Dr. Stephan Lewandowsky. Stephan shares his research on how alternative facts gain acceptance, how technology can undermine the democratic process, and tips on how to discern truth from fiction when consuming media.
