E24. The Human Behind the Work with Professor Guy Claxton
In this episode, I’m joined by Guy Claxton, renowned cognitive scientist, author of over 30 books and a lifelong student of thinking, learning, and creativity.
We explore:
- What it means to live intelligently (beyond IQ tests)
- The pivotal relationships that shaped Guy’s 50-year career
- His creative process, including the importance of not thinking
- Why fleeting ideas matter, and how to catch them
- The power of silence and slowing down in classrooms
- A sneak peek into his next book
We finish with a beautiful reflection on the value of thinking well and the humility in knowing we might be wrong.
