The science of change: how your brain can change your mind
You are likely here because you seek ways to learn, grow, and expand your perspective. As you step into conversations over the next three days, how will you know if you’re taking in new information or simply validating your own opinion? Today’s polarized political climate reveals the mind’s vulnerability and how inflexibility can wreak havoc on relationships and communities. International conflict expert Tim Phillips will be joined by neuroscientist Emile Bruneau to explain what creates these intractable divisions and how to overcome them.
