    Episode 84: Christopher Chabris | Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken In (and what we can do about it)

    Episode 84: Christopher Chabris | Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken In (and what we can do about it)

    Today’s guest is Dr. Christopher Chabris. We talked about his new book (with Daniel Simons), “Nobody’s Fool.”



    Chris is a cognitive scientist. His research in this field focuses on attention, decision-making, collective intelligence, cognitive ability, and behavioral genetics.



    Outside of the his academic community, he is a known chess master, and best known for his book (written with Daniel Simons), The Invisible Gorilla. Chabris and Simons won an Ig Nobel Prize for their Invisible Gorilla experiment, from which the book idea stemmed.



    The two have now published a new book, “Nobody’s Fool,” about how our cognitive tendencies and habits and the information we find appealing can be used against us, even though most of the time they’re really effective.



    In all the movies and podcasts and articles and so on about scams, they talk about what the con artists did, how they were caught, how the victims felt about it, and what the victims did about it. But none of them really explain why people keep falling for these scams.



    Nobody’s Fool takes a cognitive science approach to doing just that. It is now available in bookstores everywhere, on Amazon, and at their publisher's web site (links below).

Interview Style

The subject content and guests that Zach has on his show are enlightening. Zach’s Interview style, his questions and his empathetic method of interacting with his guests are some of the best that I’ve heard within the Podcasting world. Keep up the great work!

A Parachute for the Mind

This podcast really an opportunity for someone to look at their willingness to be open minded. These conversations and topics are not easy ones to talk about it; and people likely avoid having them outside of people who believe in the same way. This podcast will encourage you to open your mind to different ideas, viewpoints, and topics!

TSE is an A+ effort for bringing together great minds of various persuasions, to make sense of our culture’s most salient issues.

Zach Rhoads is a phenomenal host.
