12 分钟Hi Matt here.
If you want to continue finding tools to a successful and happy life, I recommend listening to the happiness lab hosted by Yale professor Doctor Lori Santos.
Doctor Santos has studied the science of happiness and has found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will make our lives better.
Based on the psychology course she teaches at Yale, she will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising stories that will change the way you think about happiness.
This season, shes tackling topics that affect her own life, like stress, perfectionism, and boredom.
If you struggle with any of those, or if it sounds like you could learn more about increasing happiness in your life, then listen to the happiness lab right here in your podcast player.
We've all been in situations where someone explained something to us that went over our heads or didn't land because it wasn't relevant or meaningful.
I'm Matt Abrahams.
I teach strategic communication at Stanford's graduate school of Business.
Welcome to think fast, talk smart, the podcast.
In this episode, we'll chat with Lauren Weinstein as we explore specific techniques you can use to help your audience understand the complex information that you need them to.
In other words, we hope to find the antidote to the curse of knowledge.
Hey Lauren, how are you doing?
Great.
Glad to be with you here today.
Like me, Lauren is a lecturer at Stanford's graduate School of Business.
Together for over five years, we've co taught a class on strategic communication.
In addition to this work, she also has a very popular TEDx talk called don't believe everything you think.
So Lauren, as teachers and coaches, we often have to explain complex ideas so others can understand them.
But lots of other folks also have to take complex technical or scientific information and make it accessible.
