You’ll hear from Jay Van Bavel, an award-winning professor of psychology and neural science at NYU, on the science of virality, why bad news commands our attention, and how we can find common ground around more uplifting content.    If you liked this episode, you can find more ReThinking wherever you get your podcasts.
