"Cognitive Dissonance" and Changing Your Mind

Описание: https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0FJXNLWSF?r...

You know you should exercise but you don't. You believe in climate change but fly constantly. You value honesty but lie to yourself daily. These aren't character flaws - they're cognitive dissonance, and understanding why your brain struggles with contradictory beliefs is key to actually changing behaviour instead of just feeling guilty.

This episode explores Leon Festinger's cognitive dissonance theory and the three ways people resolve psychological discomfort from contradictions - only one of which actually involves behaviour change. We'll examine value-behaviour gaps, rationalisation mechanisms, and how to develop intellectual humility in an age that treats changing your mind as weakness.

🧠 What You'll Learn:
What cognitive dissonance is and why your brain finds it intolerable
The three ways people resolve dissonance (and why two involve self-deception)
How to identify gaps between stated values and actual behaviour
Why rationalisation feels so convincing and how to recognise it
How to develop intellectual humility and genuine openness to being wrong

⚡ Key Takeaways:
The Values-Behaviour Audit: Track actions vs stated values
The Discomfort Seeking Practice: Sit with contradictions instead of rationalising
Develop Intellectual Humility: Treat changing your mind as growth, not weakness

Perfect for anyone wanting to align behaviour with values, struggling with moral licensing, or trying to develop genuine intellectual honesty rather than sophisticated rationalisation.
