Dr. Ethan Kross on Harnessing the Chatter in Our Minds for Good
Humans have a unique capacity for introspection—looking inward and examining their thoughts and feelings. We use this power to imagine, remember, and reflect. But psychologist and neuroscientist Dr. Ethan Kross says there is a darker side to introspection. The founder of the Emotion and Self Control Laboratory at University of Michigan calls this negative thought spiral “chatter.”
In his book Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It, Kross explores how introspection can harm us. Engaging with our inner thoughts in times of distress can interfere with decision-making, undermine our performance, and negatively impact relationships.
Happily, with research-based tools, we can break free from harmful negative cycles. In this course, you’ll learn to lower the volume on the tyrannical inner critic and harness the true power of your inner voice.

Daniel Pink on the Benefits of Regret
“I should’ve done better.”
“I could’ve made a different decision.”
“I wonder what would’ve happened if I made another choice.”
Regret is an incredibly common human experience. It’s likely that everyone you know could tell you a story of their regrets.

To Pink, regrets aren’t something to avoid—they’re tools that can give us insight, direction, and motivation. In this course, you’ll learn how to face your regrets and use them to gain more fulfilling life experiences.

Jennifer Eberhardt on Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do
Dr. Jennifer L. Eberhardt, author of Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do, probes the workings of our brain to discover how implicit biases form and influence our everyday decisions. Implicit bias is when we unconsciously attribute particular qualities to members of a social group. We may not realize the assumptions we’re making about people from different races, genders, ability status, and more. But we all do it, and it impacts the choices that we make every day.
In this course, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how bias has come to shape so much of what we think and believe—despite our conscious awareness or deliberate intentions. More importantly, you’ll learn how to interrupt and transform biased behavior with a single step.
