About this listen

We enter the Magic Lab, where science and magic meets. We explore how the brain is prey to a whole range of cognitive defaults and errors which impair our ability to make choices which are in our best interests. Derren reveals the mistakes our brains make, but also identifies ways to avoid them – including the cunning Decoy Effect, which causes excessive popcorn consumption.

Darren has great delivery on these episodes. Each one always raises my awareness and usually makes me chuckle from time to time. The humour comes from how true the example ring to me and the thought patterns most of us have. Recommend it for a fun way to learn about why we seem to behave the way we do.

Great performance, fun and enlightening!
