Harvesting Happiness is proud to partner with the researchers and scholars at the Mental Immunity Project (MIP) and Cognitive Immunology Research Collaborative (CIRCE).

Tune into our 18-part production that explores the emerging science of cognitive immunology. The series examines how and why disinformation, conspiracy theories, and media propaganda are used to undermine critical thinking and common sense. This impacts how society behaves and our collective well-being.

This episode is #5 of 9 with More Mental Fitness by Harvesting Happiness bonus content available exclusively on Substack and Medium.

In the US, as the election season approaches many people will have the opportunity to have conversations at home, work, or on social media where their beliefs differ vastly. Without curiosity, kindness, or a sound tool for assessing reasoning some conversations could turn into disputes.

To discover communication tools that make us more streetwise and rationally philosophical, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with the current Executive Director of Street Epistemology International (SEI), a nonprofit educational organization committed to addressing dysfunction in public and private discourse by encouraging rationality through civil conversation.

Anthony shares the Street Epistemology process, examples of how it can be used, and the societal benefits of using it.
