The Leonard Lopate Show | Sep 18, 2017

Tali Sharot, neuroscientist, and founder and director of the Affective Brain Lab at University College London, joins us to discuss her latest book, The Influential Mind: What the Brain Reveals About Our Power to Change Others.

Sharot illustrates how to avoid these pitfalls, and how to successfully change beliefs and actions.
