  • Have we become more fragile?

    Have we become more fragile?
    Dec 20 2024

    Does it seem to you that we have become more fragile? Not only people, but culture, climate -- even whole countries -- seem brittle, one step away from crisis and catastrophe.

    In the latest Book Case podcast, my colleague Dr. Dan Lewis and I review two new books on the subject. Not only do they provide a provocative explanation for this trend – the way we think about risk and growth is wrong, even harmful – but also a number of concrete tools readers can apply to actually benefit from uncertainty and danger.

    "The science says ...," "Follow the science...," "The best evidence shows..." -- all phrases that became ubiquitous during the outbreak of CVD-19. But, was this actually science or scientific? In this episode, Scott and Dan review two magazine articles published recently in Harper's Magazine on the use and misuse of science in public policy and psychotherapy.

    What ails the world? Too little or too much rationality? A lack of curiosity or failure to face facts?


    In this episode of the Book Case, Dan and Scott review two top selling books, each emphasizing a different solution for what ails the world and human interactions. Should you "take two" and call us in the morning, or read neither.
