Join Shankar Vedantam for Everlaw Summit ‘24
Shankar Vedantam is the host and executive editor of the Hidden Brain podcast, one of the most popular podcasts in the world, with over 2 million downloads a week. On the Hidden Brain, Vedantam explores “the unconscious patterns that drive human behavior and questions that lie at the heart of our complex and changing world.”
A master storyteller, able to shed light on the unseen influences that shape our world, Vedantam’s Hidden Brain podcast combines science, data, and psychology to cover topics as diverse as the detrimental effects of perfectionism, the intersection of psychology and crime, and how the human psyche works when deciding what is right and what is wrong.
It’s an approach he refined over nearly two decades in journalism, as a social science correspondent for NPR and a reporter for The Washington Post, and perfected in his 2009 book The Hidden Brain: How Our Unconscious Minds Elect Presidents, Control Markets, Wage Wars and Save Our Lives.
Join Vedantam at Summit as he dives into the invisible forces that influence everything around us, from the dynamics of a courtroom argument to our ability to adapt to new and changing environments – and leave seeing the world, and the legal profession, in a whole new way.
