Why do we think they way that we do and believe the things we believe? What is it about being human that also makes us vulnerable to so many biases? Chasing the Mind podcast is a place to challenge our assumptions and shine light in our dark, unexamined places. Welcome to a place where insight and discovery comes through sometimes uncomfortable conversations. Only through shining a spotlight on our unconscious biases can we hope to change the ways we interact with others, in our homes, in our communities, within our institutions, and yes, even in our politics.
