Interview with Prof. Vervaeke (English)
The human brain is susceptible to deception. Wisdom involves the ability to correct oneself again and again. Cognitive scientist John Vervaeke is convinced that we need a variety of wisdom practices for this. And: ‘Look for people who challenge you’. Because we can develop best in relationship with others.
The interview was conducted by Mike Kauschke, written version in German
