In this episode, I explain why thinking in terms of politics instead of objective truth is so illogical and destructive. I demonstrate that even though the truth about certain matters may be complicated, politically-motivated figures often claim to know it with absolute certainty, but without regard for their own double standards and fallacies. Ultimately, what we need to learn is that being truthful means asserting ideas for the right reasons and not simply choosing what feels easiest to believe — and that the effort this takes in real life often leads our minds to take shortcuts.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of hosting Eleonora Formato, the host of Inner View on Radio Adelaide 101.5 F.M. On her program, Eleonora provides her guests a platform on which they can discuss a variety of fascinating stories and ideas. It provides excellent insight in to the matters that affect our lives, from the practical perspectives of people in the midst of them. Listen to Inner View from 4:30P.M. until 5:30P.M. on Wednesdays in South Australian time, and learn more here:

In this collaboration, Eleonora and I discuss how people often feel uncomfortable (and react accordingly) to others with beliefs different from theirs, and what we can do to address the issue.

Those who know me know how much I disapprove of over-simplifications — and the cliché of telling someone that they're over-thinking is one of them.

I've often discussed the complexities of telling people what they need to hear. Is it equally as effective in every form, and in every situation?

We often hear that being a "kid at heart" is necessary when working with children. But as I explain here, there is a better alternative.

It's easy for us to assume that one opinion that a person espouses is sufficient for us to base judgement of their entire set of qualities. But as I explain here, it's not always that simple.

Surely everyone wants to be independent, right? Well, we could be pursuing that more effectively, as I discuss here.

About Your Listener
From the publisher's feed
John Cuturilo, the counsellor of Your Listener Counselling in Melbourne, Australia, is the host of the Your Listener podcast. Discussing psychological topics including mental health, critical…
thinking, and social matters, he presents unique insights. Rather than lecturing coercively on what to believe, filling his discussions with provocative language or quotes from famous people, or political rhetoric, John explains how our minds work and the impact of this on how we operate individually and socially. He often helps his audience to realise that what we assume are truths are often ideas resulting from errors in thinking — to which all of us may fall subject. Through this, John encourages critical thinking, accepting responsibility for our flaws, the separation of criticising ideas from judging people, exercising our minds, and finding ways to live in harmony with and learn from each other rather than avoiding those who think differently. He also believes in helping his audience to develop more detailed, complex knowledge, rather than overly simplifying concepts to the extent that they become empty slogans. He maintains that while the quest for truth may never be completed, we should still strive to learn of it as only by doing this will we be the most independent and astute possible thinkers.
If you have an idea for an episode, or would like to appear as a guest or collaborate, contact John to introduce yourself! John welcomes people of a broad range of backgrounds for discussion. John especially values the opportunity to discuss perspectives which differ from his.
