Leading Hearts and Minds Through Turbulent Times
Interview with Owen Fitzpatrick about his book Inner Propaganda: Leading Hearts and Minds Through Turbulent Times. Argues that we decide what feels true, then search for evidence that proves us right, rather than building our beliefs on facts, logic, and careful reasoning. This can reinforce limiting beliefs, fuel political polarization, and make us susceptible to propaganda. Explores how narratives shape our confidence, identity, and decisions – and what it takes to change them.
