Everything Paul Bloom Knows About Psychology
In “Psych: The Story of the Human Mind,” Paul Bloom, a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, lays out, in his words, “basically everything I know about the mind.” And when he says “everything,” he means it. Where does consciousness come from? Does IQ matter? What makes us happy? Was Sigmund Freud a madman? The answers to these questions (and more) are all in Paul’s book — and in this episode.
An edited version of Rufus’s interview with Paul first aired in April 2023. Today, we’re bringing you their entire conversation.
