Thinking About Thinking
Tarun Chandna
Junaid Hussain
An interactive and experiments-based session to understand what all influences our behaviours and choices. It builds a case for a state where we are best at making choices – intellectually stimulated AND emotionally charged while being aware of our inherent biases.
A thought experiment and small group activity-based session will explore how easily we can be influenced and even tricked by our own brain and cognitive functions. It draws from the seminal works of Daniel Kahneman, and some interesting experiments from the work of Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons. The audience of experiential educators then discusses and draws contextual learning for their client interactions.
