About this listen
‘In a time when too many minds seem closed, this is a masterful analysis of what it takes to open them' Adam Grant, author of the bestselling Think Again
‘Optimistic, illuminating and even inspiring' Guardian
As the world is increasingly polarised, it feels impossible to change the mind of someone with a conflicting view. But this book shows that you could be one conversation away from changing someone's mind about something, maybe a lot of things.
Self-delusion expert and psychology nerd David McRaney sets out to discover not just what it takes to influence others, but why we believe in the first place. Along the way he meets a former Westboro Baptist Church member who was deradicalised on Twitter, goes deep canvassing to see how quickly people will surrender their character-defining views, finds a 9/11 Truther who turns his back on it all, and reveals how, within a few years, half a country can go from opposing the ‘gay agenda' to happily attending same-sex weddings.
Distilling the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, How Minds Change reveals how beliefs take hold, not over hundreds of years, but in less than a generation, in less than a decade, and sometimes in an instant.

Don’t argue with someone who TV is bigger than their library.
I rather enjoyed the research examples that were used, many have been mentioned in other books on similar topics. The overlap helps to embed common ideas.
The word argument bothers me, culturally it’s used interchangeably with debate. Debate is more structured and organised which is what Street Epistemology is. It’s a way of highlighting your own flaws in your ideas as well as helping others see the flaws in their own thinking.
A growth mindset is essential in the 21st century. Collectively we’re updating our knowledge and understanding at a phenomenal rate. I believe How Minds Change, helps smooth the sharp edges we will all inevitably experience.

Compelling
This is a must read for anyone interested in argument, influencing and just getting along with people while doing both. Practical, interesting and scientific. Loved it.
