Class is officially in session! Dr. Paul Bloom is hanging out with us on the show to discuss his new book Psych, The Story of the Human Mind, which is a book he built around his Yale introduction to psychology course.

In today's episode, we talk about... 

- Why he wanted to turn his class into a book

- Why he calls psychology a young science

- What people get wrong in regard to memory

- What you need to know about implicit bias

- Why you can’t overcome biases on your own

- What makes us unique

- How appropriate amounts of anger can be useful

- What makes people happy

- Why we tend to go along with the crowd

- Why people tend to join “evil” groups

...and so much more!
