Clearer Thinking with Spencer Greenberg
Clearer Thinking is a podcast about ideas that truly matter. If you enjoy learning about powerful, practical concepts and frameworks, wish you had more deep, intellectual conversations in your life, or are looking for non-BS self-improvement, then we think you'll love this podcast! Each week we invite a brilliant guest to bring four important ideas to discuss for an in-depth conversation. Topics include psychology, society, behavior change, philosophy, science, artificial intelligence, math, economics, self-help, mental health, and technology. We focus on ideas that can be applied right now to make your life better or to help you better understand yourself and the world, aiming to teach you the best mental tools to enhance your learning, self-improvement efforts, and decision-making. • We take on important, thorny questions like: • What's the best way to help a friend or loved one going through a difficult time? How can we make our worldviews more accurate? How can we hone the accuracy of our thinking? What are the advantages of using our "gut" to make decisions? And when should we expect careful, analytical reflection to be more effective? Why do societies sometimes collapse? And what can we do to reduce the chance that ours collapses? Why is the world today so much worse than it could be? And what can we do to make it better? What are the good and bad parts of tradition? And are there more meaningful and ethical ways of carrying out important rituals, such as honoring the dead? How can we move beyond zero-sum, adversarial negotiations and create more positive-sum interactions?
One of my favorite podcasts!

Spencer is a wonderful host - curious, great questions, articulate, deeply knowledgeable across disciplines, and he senses so skillfully into when/if to interrupt the guest to redirect. A very generous conversationalist. And the list of guests! Wow. Just listened to the Nick Bostrom episode (aug 2024) and loved the mix of deep thinking with relatable, lovely metaphors - and the territory they covered was not at all easy to cover well in one episode. And of course there are so many other great guests/episodes. Thank you Spencer - what a gift!

I am so grateful to Spencer and his team for this podcast. It’s hard for me to believe that something so useful and high quality is given away for free. The guests and topics are uniquely special and have been extremely impactful and enlightening for me. They have led to rich explorations of ideas and fields I had never been exposed to. Thank you Spencer!!
Genius podcast

I’ve constantly found myself absorbing something new each time I listen to Spencer’s pod - it has become one of my favorites. He is transparent about how he has learned to be a deeper conversationalist and those lessons have even taught me how to branch my own conversations better so that I can learn more in my interactions with others. Thank you, Spencer - please keep producing!
Interesting and practical

This show has lots of practical advice and a balanced, humble worldview that is actually helpful and not wimpy or full of logic fallacies. The guest are always interesting and Spencer’s approach to finding what matters in life and how to get there is refreshing. Thanks for the great content!
