Two Psychologists Four Beers

Episode 68: How (Not) to be a Hater

Listen Later

Alexa and Yoel discuss "The Anticreativity Letters," a satirical article by Richard Nisbett that advises young psychology researchers to (among other things) avoid being overly critical. How does the article's advice hold up today? How does one combine appropriate skepticism with enthusiasm for research? Or are the two in conflict at all?

Plus: Alexa gets salty about salty drinks, and Yoel returns to the gym.
