Summary
For this episode, I’ve invited Dr. Karen Branden back on the show to talk about a topic that’s been bugging me. Why do we as humans often not speak up and challenge things that we know, at least deep down, are wrong? It’s frustrating as hell why so many people in power are doing this, but how can we, our little spread out, but collective selves around the planet do things differently to make a difference? A recent podcast guest calls it having micro-courage and that intrigued me. In this episode Dr. Karen Branden talks about our human nature, societal upbringing, and experiments that shed some light on why we tend to stay silent, and most importantly, how we can break that pattern of 'group-think’ with a bit of micro-courage.
