Summary

Dr Beau Lotto is a globally renowned neuroscientist whose studies in human perception have taken him well beyond the scientific domain and into the fields of education, the arts and business. Public engagement, in the broadest sense, is at the core of what Beau does – whether he’s creating scientific experiments, giving talks or making TV programmes. By enabling people to experience what it is to be a scientist, Beau’s aim is to encourage them to see science not as an academic investigation but as a way of being that is relevant to every aspect of their lives: this discovery can be powerful enough to make people think differently about both themselves and the world around them.

There have been some really, really great interviews lately, including Jordan Harbinger from Art of Charm.

0:48.5

And Max and Kip, who talks about claiming your power, but also claiming your purpose.

0:55.7

An absolutely phenomenal episode that we've had a lot of great feedback from. So joining me today is a guy that I found on YouTube.

1:03.9

And before you write it off, he's a doctor and he's a neuroscientist. So I didn't just find some

1:09.7

like random dude on YouTube and was like,

1:11.6

oh, I'm going to interview that guy. No, I found a guy by the name of Dr. Bo Lotto. And Bo has had a few

1:19.5

mainstage TED talks that have gone pretty viral. He's a globally renowned neuroscientist who

1:25.5

studies human perception. And that's really taking

1:29.3

2:03.8

perceived things and how our brains are not structured for change, how our brains are structured

2:11.4

to keep things the way that they are. So any form of change, anything that's uncertain in our lives, uncertainty is a
