On this week's edition of the Posthoc podcast, you'll hear our conversation with Templeton World Charity Foundation grantee Sander van der Linden, Professor of Social Psychology in Society in the Department of Psychology at the University of Cambridge and Director of the Cambridge Social Decision-Making Lab. Sander's book Foolproof: Why We Fall for Misinformation and How to Build Immunity will be coming out in February so this will be a sneak-peek into the book.

Posthoc artist-in-residence Grace Weber will perform songs from her forthcoming album as well. Grace is an LA-based singer-songwriter, producer and such a very multi-talented artist; she won a Grammy for penning Chance the Rapper's "All We Got" and she continues to soar.

This salon with Pray.com is part of our ongoing series on human flourishing with Templeton World Charity Foundation. In 2021 TWCF launched a five-year initiative which has included expanding our scientific understanding of how the practice of spiritual and religious exercises are linked to outcomes that are associated with human flourishing. Pray.com was founded in 2016 in California. It's a top 10 grossing lifestyle app in more than 125 countries and it is the world's #1 app for daily prayer and faith-based content. The pandemic brought about a surge of use in mental and spiritual apps, and Pray.com has been at the forefront of this hyper growth.

Welcome to our first digital salon in a series that is presented by healthcare company GALILEO (www.galileo.io).

Frank Keil is Psychology & Linguistics Professor at Yale University. For the past 40 years, he has studied how adults and children learn and reason about the physical world around them. In Spring 2022, he came out with a new book called WONDER where he explores how we can re-tap into that sense of awe and wonder we felt as children.
