Ep. 66: Waking Up to Cognitive Dissonance
Episode description
In today’s episode, Heath touches on a sensitive subject of cognitive dissonance. The process in which two contradicting beliefs held by the same person at the same time produces a discordant feeling within the subject. This happens when our beliefs about the world are challenged by another person or by new information. Some people are able to objectively receive and process new information that challenges their beliefs, others will fight feverishly against that same information and the person trying to present it. Heath talks about many instances of cognitive dissonance that he experienced in recent years, and some of the more recent "hot topics" that are producing these feelings in society- feelings that are breaking up relationships and families.
