Most people think they’re a single individual making rational decisions, but Stanford Neuroscientist, Dr. David Eagleman, explains that you are actually multiple people in one brain. A brain that tricks each version of you in different ways!

Dr. David Eagleman is a Stanford neuroscientist, technologist, and author who examines how our brain interprets the world and what that means for us. He is known for his work on brain plasticity, perception, and how the brain adapts to external inputs. He is the cofounder of Neosensory and BrainCheck, as well as director of the Center for Science and Law. He is also an international bestselling author of books such as 'Livewired: The Inside Story of the Ever-Changing Brain.

He explains:

◼️How your brain tricks you to keep you safe

◼️How to outsmart your own brain when it's working against you

◼️Why doing hard things physically rewires the brain

◼️Why we dream, and what dreams may actually be doing for the brain

◼️How to use AI to make you smarter instead of letting it make you lazy
