Who's Right? - Work/Life Balance

Dr. Itiel Dror is used to facing resistance to his work. It comes with the territory when you're a neuroscientist studying cognitive bias in experts: no one wants to believe they have biases they're not aware of. But the pushback to a paper he published last year was extreme even by Dr. Dror's standards. After the paper came out, the ensuing backlash even threatened his job. Check out Dr. Dror's latest paper here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1556-4029.14697 ⁠⁠⁠https://www.amandaknox.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky: @amandaknox.com | @wisecracker.bsky.social IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@amamaknox⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠@emceecarbon⁠⁠⁠⁠ Free: My Search for Meaning: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/amanda-knox/free/9781538770719/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Amanda and Chris explore the emotional complexity of saying goodbye, unpacking why goodbyes can be so difficult, the rituals that help us let go, and how fear of the unknown often keeps us stuck.

It’s a fond farewell to one chapter, and a wink at what’s coming next. We would love to hear your thoughts on the matter!
