Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of the mind — and how understanding how we think can empower us to see ourselves and others more clearly.

My guest is Dr. Daniel Yon, an experimental psychologist and neuroscientist at the University of Birkbeck, London and Director of The Uncertainty Lab. His groundbreaking new book, A Trick of the Mind, explores how our brains act like scientists — using past experiences to build theories about the world, shaping what we see, how we judge others, and even what we believe about ourselves. Whether you’re exploring how to build confidence, strengthen intuition, or simply better understand how your brain works, this episode offers practical insights to help you see your mind in a new light
