Hey groovers, this is Tim to introduce you to one of our favorite episodes from our eight-year history. We're sharing the top eight episodes as bonuses in our run-up to our eighth anniversary in October 2025. See that? The top eight episodes, eighth anniversary, got that? Okay, at the same time we're celebrating the publishing of 500 episodes of behavioral groups.
Because of both of these milestones, we're inviting you to join us for a celebration party in Minneapolis. Professor Nick Epley of the University of Chicago will be speaking live at the event and sharing observations from his lifelong work on happiness. We hope to see you there. And if you'd like to join us in Minneapolis, there's an invite in the show notes for this episode. Do join us.
Okay, back to this episode. This is episode 365 from July 16th of 2023. It was with Dan Simons and Chris Chabri. They're psychology professors and they've worked a lot on scams as well as how people see some things and don't see others. This episode is important and makes our top eight because it reviews the importance of critical thinking.
