How Not To Think
"People aren't logical, they're psychological with the emphasis on the psycho," writes Dr Howard Rankin. An expert in cognitive neuroscience, Howard recently published his book I Think Therefore I Am Wrong which looks at the many ways we can sabotage our thinking through cognitive biases, binary thinking, false assumptions and numerous other strategies. The How Not To think podcast examines how this false reasoning manifests itself in many areas of society through myths, and 'conventional wisdom.' Howard speaks with leaders in their fields to examine the impact of faulty thinking that occurs in every sphere of life.

Joseph Pearce is a prolific writer, having published more than twenty books on spiritual topics surrounding major historical figures such as Shakespeare, C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton and Alexander Solzhenitsyn. As a young teen in Britain, Joseph was drawn into the fascist group the National Front and by 16 was editing and writing materials for them. He was imprisoned twice for inciting hatred, and on the second time, realizing his activities really didn't reflect his ideals, changed direction. Inspired initially by the writings of G.K. Chesterton, Joseph converted to Catholicism and has been a leading writer and thinker on Catholic and spiritual issues ever since.
