Nick Epley, psychologist, Professor of Behavioral Science at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, and author of A Little More Social, joins me on this episode.

Nick studies social cognition—how thinking people think about other thinking people—to understand why smart people so routinely misunderstand each other.

His research has appeared in more than two dozen empirical journals and has been featured by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN, Wired, and NPR, among many others. His work has also been funded by the National Science Foundation and the Templeton Foundation.
