In this episode of Changing Minds, I speak with Dr. Peter Lamont, professor of history and the theory of psychology at the University of Edinburgh and a former magician. We explore his brilliant book Radical Thinking, which challenges how we define truth, knowledge, and belief.

We dive into:

  • Why critical thinking isn't enough

  • The humility behind science

  • The psychology of belief and persuasion
