About this listen
How does social identity influence the way we learn, form biases, and navigate the world? In this episode, Dr. Jay Van Bavel, NYU professor and coauthor of The Power of Us, joins us to explore the psychology and neuroscience behind identity formation.

- How group identity impacts learning, motivation, and cognitive performance
- The role of social media in shaping and reinforcing identities
- Strategies to reduce bias and build inclusion in schools and communities
- How leaders can foster unity instead of division
With insights from neuroscience, psychology, and education, this episode reveals how understanding identity can transform classrooms, parenting, and even society itself.
