EP 34: A Critique of Esther Perel and other Charismatic Speakers - an ISP short
from the Informed Simplicity podcast · host jocrharris
The Charismatic {Speakers}: This is the kind of person who spends all their time talking. Lecturing. Weaving shimmering webs of ideas into the air. They’re often quite eloquent and charismatic; listening to them can be great fun. Which is precisely the problem — because in the end, passively listening to someone talk is a really inefficient way to learn. We learn by doing, exploring, discovering for ourselves. By asking questions, interacting, engaging with ideas. (Another reason why Socratic method works so well.) -Dan Coyle "A Field Guide to Avoiding Toxic Teachers/Coaches" Contact me at [email protected] Check out what actually makes teachers good here.
