Charismatic leaders can inspire devotion and give people a powerful sense of meaning. They can also make us vulnerable. This week, we explore how figures across history have gained followers by offering clarity in moments of uncertainty — and why that clarity can come at a cost. Historian Molly Worthen explains how to recognize the spell of charisma, and why questioning it is essential to a healthy society.

In public discourse, we struggle to find empathy with a whole group of oppressed people, because we lack a visceral connection, a name and a face. ( h/t #hiddenBrain )

Liam Ramos is that name.

This is that face.

We humans love a good mess Reading Denis Johnson's Jesus' Son

Recently, I listened to an excellent #HiddenBrain podcast episode “Murder Mystery” exploring why we are drawn to true crime.

I just finished Jesus’ Son by the late Denis Johnson. You will understand why this is a segue if you’ve read him:

Reframing the Battle of Wills Podcast Episode · Hidden Brain · 27/10/2025 · 1h 12m

As people who talk to me know, I bang on about #HiddenBrain with a regularity that even I recognise. Tbh, I’m unlikely to stop anytime soon and certainly not today, because this week’s episode feels particularly important. Only wish I’d heard it 20 years ago…

Winning the Battle Against Yourself Many of us have been raised to believe that if we want to get something done, we just need to set our minds to it. Where there’s a will, there’s a way, right? Yet somehow we end up polishing off that pint of ice cream in the freezer, or spending more than our budget allows. It’s almost as if we’re not the ones in charge. This week, we talk with psychologist and neuroscientist Emily Falk about why our minds often conspire against our best interests, and how we can regain control. * * * ## Podcast: Subscribe to the **Hidden Brain Podcast** on your favorite podcast player so you never miss an episode. ## Newsletter: Go behind the scenes, see what Shankar is reading and find more useful resources and links.

Did anyone else listen to Dr Emily Falk's voice on #HiddenBrain and think, 'Is that Ellie Cordova I hear?'

Anyway, good episode. I do hope that #EllieCordova and #EmilyFalk collaborate on a future video or podcast:)

I could have sworn I started listening to a #HiddenBrain podcast episode the other night, which began with the DB Cooper story on the plane, and now I can't find it. Does it ring a bell with anyone?

Hidden Brain - How Much Do We Really Know? Listen to Hidden Brain - How Much Do We Really Know? by Hidden Brain, Shankar Vedantam on Podcast Addict. You probably know someone who thinks they know more about something than they really do. But you could never be described that way . . . could you? This week, cognitive scientist Phil Fernbach explains the "illusion of knowledge" — the fact that we think we understand the world in much greater detail than we actually do. He'll explore why this happens, and how to close the gap be

@shankarvedantam.bsky.social Please consider ditching #Amazon as a sponsor on #HiddenBrain. It’s my favorite podcast; however, when I hear Amazon ads there, it really turns me off. Amazon/Jeff Bezos too cozy w Trump admin. #ShankarVedantam #HiddenBrain #NPR @npr.org #VoteWithYourWallet
