E60: Confidence & Why Your Beliefs Matter (with Professor Ian Robertson)
Professor Ian Robertson is a neuroscientist and clinical psychologist, and Professor of Psychology at Trinity College Dublin. He is also known as a leading researcher as to how an individual may harness the attention system to enhance one's autonomy over emotions and thinking.
He's the author of several books including: The Winner Effect: How Power Affects Your Brain, The Stress Test: How Pressure Can and Make you Stronger and Sharper and How Confidence works, the New Science of Self-belief.
In today’s episode we discuss, the danger of over-emphasising the genetic influences on our psychology, how your environment can shape your psychology and the ways in which a psychiatric view on mental health can be limiting. We also discuss confidence, the main components of confidence, the difference between confidence, optimism and self-esteem, the obesity crisis, the opioid crisis and much more.
