February Thinking Box - Why facts don’t convince people and procrastination

Why facts don’t convince people and exploring procrastination.

In this session in the first half, we will explore why facts don’t convince people, taking as an example the debate around climate change, and consider what psychological factors influence what information we take in and act on.

In the second half, we will watch a humorous talk to find out what goes on in a procrastinator’s brain, and share our own tips and experiences of how to overcome procrastination.

General details

An evening of watching and discussing inspirational online talks. We will watch some of the best online talks and films on a variety of topics and then discuss informally in small groups and the whole plenary. All this with a diverse group of friendly thinkers with a coffee break in the middle.

Our programmes are carefully designed and facilitated to appeal to a wide audience and many of our members prefer not to know topics in advance. However brief session details will be posted nearer the time.
