This week's show continues a holiday-ish theme! If you missed the first airings of the show yesterday when you were gathering with friends or family, you can hear it today! We look at the research around wellbeing and how socializing, storytelling and laughter combine to maximize our connections with others. We also discuss the psychology of spending and what we can do to think critically about our habits as a 'spender' or 'saver.' And Brian shares his personal sartorial journey along the way.

We discuss critical thinking in many different aspects during this hour-long conversation about a variety of topics. All of it comes back to our ability to think about our own thinking.

"Critical Thinking for Everyone" airs on FORward Radio, 106.5fm and forwardradio.org, WFMP-LP Louisville, every Thursday at 5 pm EST and repeats Thursday at midnight and Friday at 11 am. Please listen live at www.forwardradio.org/. Find us on Facebook at "Critical Thinking for Everyone".

We really expand out a discussion of Intellectual Humility by first looking at this intellectual trait (aka habit of mind) and what it is in its various dimensions, and how it can help us be better thinkers about the limits of our own knowledge and be open to new and diverse points of view on any topic, especially those in which we feel 'expert.' We have fun sharing some of the recent research on intellectual humility and we use the research instrument to test our own intellectual humility habits!

This week's show invites you to escape your own thinking bubble by practicing Intellectual Empathy. This thinking virtue asks us not to 'feel" for others, but rather to live in other perspective accurately, especially those we don't agree with. This is a challenging but vital critical thinking move. We talk about the temptation to just live in our harmonious ideological bubbles and we look at the call to action given in Arthur Brooks' new book on getting past contempt for those we don't agree with and enriching our lives and the world we live in.

This episode is the third installment of the periodic film series in which Kate Bringardner take a critical thinking lens to women and classic films. We were both amused to discover several weeks ago that she loved the 1958 "Auntie Mame" movie starring Rosalind Russell and I loved the 1974 musical remake starting Lucille Ball. We agreed to each watch the other's favorite version and compare notes on air. How this larger than life, iconoclastic female protagonist became such a sensation in the buttoned-down 1950s is part of our discussion, along with a look at the ways in which Mame navigates social, financial and cultural challenges by breaking the obedient female mold of her era. And we share our love of Mame's knowing, witty wisecracks and covet her fabulous clothes and accessories.

This wonderful interview is with a critical thinking colleague. Dr. Marge Murray-Davis visited our campus last week to learn about how we have infused critical thinking across departments and programs. As part of her visit, we asked her to sit down with us so we can learn more about the outstanding work she is doing in teaching in the Allied Health areas at Minnesota State U. Listen in as I ask her about her terrific strategies for engaging students in critical thinking, and there's a "bonus track" at the end of the hour in which I wax eloquent about the Intellectual Traits!
