Episode 118 of our book read/podcast covering major topics in various fields of psychology moves us into a continuation of the Year of Clickbait with PSEUDOSCIENCE! This Spring we are going to be talking about pseudoscience. Who believes it? Why do they believe it? Is there a kernel of truth to some of the pseudoscientific beliefs people have? And more…

In this episode Daniel and Thomas discuss more psychology related pseudoscience in the form of typologies. What does your learning style say about you, how do we fit neatly into the stages of grief, and other fixation and essentialist based nonsense. People are more complex than boxes and tribes and these two in particular do more harm than good.

Warning: This episode contains some graphic information and all season we will be talking about some less than savory topics.
