E24. The Human Behind the Work with Professor Guy Claxton

In this episode, I’m joined by Guy Claxton, renowned cognitive scientist, author of over 30 books and a lifelong student of thinking, learning, and creativity.

We explore:

What it means to live intelligently (beyond IQ tests)

The pivotal relationships that shaped Guy’s 50-year career
His creative process, including the importance of not thinking
Why fleeting ideas matter, and how to catch them
The power of silence and slowing down in classrooms
A sneak peek into his next book

We finish with a beautiful reflection on the value of thinking well and the humility in knowing we might be wrong.
