🧠 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 L. A. Paul's "What You Can't Expect When You're Expecting". In this fun twist on a modern classic, Paul argues that the normal way of making "personally transformative" decisions such as having a child is irrational. In short, life is so different after having a child that any prediction about what it will be like is likely to be wrong.
👉 In the main segment, we finally finish our discussion of Anders Ericsson's "Peak". In this deep exploration of expertise, we once again confirm that experts aren't born, they are made. The last part of the book focuses on disproving common misconceptions about innate talent, and shows how anyone from Mozart to the greatest athletes to ever live got to the top through training alone. More specifically, the best type of training: deliberate practice.
