🧠 Thinkin’ Bros Podcast is hosted by intellectual phenomena Alex and Chris. We make psychology and philosophy accessible through informal discussions and try to find ways to use these disciplines to enhance our everyday lives.
👉 We begin by discussing Camus' "L'Étranger" (The Stranger). While we begin as skeptics, our discussion makes our opinion of the book evolve throughout the episode. The main character, Meursault, represents the quintessential absurd man, and ironically (although by design) reveals a lot of absurdities about our own life through his routines and questions. A fascinating discussion.
👉 In the main segment, we discuss Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise, by Anders Ericsson. While this is not the type of book most would qualify as "life-changing", we end up qualifying it as such. There is no big revelation or a portal toward cosmic consciousness - just a rigorous scientific study of expertise, with the ultimate conclusion that experts are never born, they are made. In fact, they are self-made, as "the gift" people usually refer to ends up being an outstanding intrinsic motivation to practice a craft indefatigably until it is mastered.
