How to Change a Mind

from This Is Critical Hosted by Stitcher

In a time when people are more dug in than ever on partisan beliefs about the world, is it ever possible to change anybody's mind? Science journalist David McRaney, author of the new book How Minds Change, says yes. He and Virginia investigate the psychology of how we come by our beliefs — and the tried-and-true methods social scientists recommend using to change peoples' minds — even on hot-button issues. Listen to David's podcast with ex-Westboro Baptist Church member Megan Phelps-Roper here.
