We're very different from one another in terms of culture, education, perception, and many other aspects. Or aren't we? Meet The Collective Mind or How we're more alike than different.

We are motivated by more than just primitive urges, as Maslow pointed out. People are driven by a 'will to meaning'. We have the freedom to decide for ourselves how our surroundings affect us. We can choose to interpret events so that they have meaning to us.

We think in the same way. We behave in the same way. The only aspects that separate us are superficial contemporary doctrines. We'll always be caught between worlds, between our past and our future, dealing with our significant global problems. The way we're going to address these will define the future of all humankind.

Tune in to discover how we're sharing a collective mind, on both a conscious and an unconscious level, and what we should do with it.

Why do we communicate? Besides the obvious reasons - inform or inquire - we exchange information to influence and to convince. Meet Persuasion - the art of presenting arguments to move, motivate, or change an audience.

But it's not all shinny - ethics are becoming a thing of the past, with fewer and fewer ambassadors to fight for it. We're vulnerable and easily influenced, so our need to be aware of the surroundings increases by the day. By educating ourselves, we're improving our chances to make unaltered and genuine decisions.

Tune in to discover how someone can modify our beliefs or behaviors and how this superpower called Persuasion is shaping the near future.

To how many people are we bound? Is it possible to interact with everyone we know? We have the family, the extended family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, acquaintances, and social media connections. Is there a limit on how many people we accept in our social group?

Actually, yes, and it's called Dunbar's Number. It explains our limitations regarding planning, decision-making, coping, even focus and attention - basically our cognitive limitations. It helps us focus on what matters, but we also need to find ways around it when fighting for people's attention.

Tune in to discover more about how our brain is guiding our focus on one person at a time, making sure our relationships are meaningful and contribute to our wellbeing.

From ancient times humanity relied on biology and philosophy to understand the world, but these weren't sufficient to explain our system of thinking and behavior, so psychology surfaced. Fast forward to today, our understanding of the mind is shaping a digital replica of the world! One question remains unanswered: are our choices our own?
