Why do so many “other” people believe propaganda, conspiracy theories and statements from various influencers that clearly lack any factual backing? How is it possible to fall prey to misinformation so consistently? And what does any of this have to do with the way in which we learn? (or for the instructors out there – how we teach)?

Welcome to the Catalyst Health, Wellness & Performance Coaching Podcast. Dr. Lisa Fazio, from Vanderbilt University, is one of the foremost experts on how people learn new information, both true and false, and how to correct errors in people’s knowledge. This includes not only how to mitigate the effects of reading false information but also how to enhance our learning and memory. If her name sounds familiar, her insights on why propaganda works (even when it seems so obviously to be propaganda) was highlighted in David Epstein’s recent writing. The timing of this discussion is impeccable based on all that is happening both worldwide and in our world of health, wellness & Performance.
