Coming up on the Jordan Harbanger Show.

Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbanger. On the Jordan Harbanger Show we decode the

stories, secrets and skills of the world's most fascinating people. We have in-depth conversations

with people at the top of their game. Astronauts, entrepreneurs, spies, psychologists, even the

occasional journalist-turned-poker champion, national security advisor or rocket scientist.

Each episode turns our guests' wisdom into practical advice that you can use to build a deeper

understanding of how the world works and become a better critical thinker. If you're new

to this show or looking for a handy way to tell your friends about it, we have episode

starter packs. These are collections of some of your favorite episodes organized by popular

topics to help new listeners get a taste of everything that we do here on the show.

Just visit JordanHarbinger.com slash start to get started or of course to help someone else

get started and I always appreciate it. And today, my friend Laura Nyrider is with us.

She runs the Northwestern University Center for Rungful Convictions. If you've seen

making a murderer you know about Brendan Dassy, that's one of her clients. She is his attorney.

He was the young guy who I think was like 16 years old and was essentially badgered by

interrogators into confessing something he could not possibly have done, namely a murder.

Now why would someone admit to a crime especially a murder that they didn't commit?

Today we'll examine the mechanics of a false confession. How often does this happen?

How does this happen at all? What's the psychology behind this? What's going on at work here

in our brains? And if you think this could never happen to you, then you definitely want to hear

this one. If you're wondering how I managed to book all these folks on the show you've heard

me talk about this before, go to jordanharbinger.com slash course. It's our networking course.
