Seminar 2 - "Understanding Our Behaviour"

Details

This will be the second of 3 seminars on Behavioural Psychology.
I’m not a psychologist. I’m an engineer trying to work out WTF is going on! I want your feedback as we explore the following issues:

  1. Why do people belief what they believe?
  • In spite of obvious contradictions
  1. How did we get here?
  • Are we being manipulated? (Seminar 1)
  1. Why do people behave as they do?
  • Understanding our Behaviour (Seminar 2)
  1. Where do we go from here?
  • How to have Difficult Conversations (Seminar 3)

For Seminar 2 we'll go through:

  • What Drives Our Behaviour?
  • 3 Layers of the Mind
  • Reason vs Emotion
  • Perceptions vs Reality
  • The 3 Layers of the Mind
  • The Banality of Evil
  • The elephant in the room

I'll record my presentation for upload to my YouTube channel, which will last around 25-30mins. (Please switch off your camera and microphone).
The presentation will be followed by a discussion and a general Q&A. (This part will not be recoded so cameras and microphones can be switched back on.)

The online meetings will use Microsoft Teams, which will work in a browser but will works better using the app, which you can download from:
