Brain Science Podcast #43: Part 2 of “On Being Certain”Posted on August 8th, 2008 by docartemisEpisode 43 of the Brain Science Podcast is an interview with Robert A Burton, MD, author of On Being Certain: Believing You Are Right Even When You’re Not, which I discussed in Episode 42. Dr. Burton tells us what inspired him to write this book and we explore some of the implications of the fact that what he calls the “feeling of knowing” comes from our unconscious, including the fact that it is not as reliable as it feels.

Thanks for linking to my podcast. While Dr. Burton and I were talking before his interview, he mentioned to me that he has gotten quite a bit of email from Buddhists and people interested in how his work might relate to Buddhist thought.
