How to Do Things With Your Mind

· 51 min · Épisode 596

Notes d’épisode

We all engage in mental actions of various kinds, whether it’s planning the coming week, trying to remember the lyrics of a song, or imagining what we’d look like with a different haircut. These thought processes have significance for us and help us direct our other actions. But are we really in control of trains of thoughts or do they just pop into consciousness? Does it make sense to criticize others for what goes on inside their heads? And is there anything we can do to improve the quality of our thinking? Josh and guest-host Blakey Vermeule do things in the mind of their Stanford colleague Antonia Peacocke, author of Mental Means (forthcoming).
