Episode Details

There's no denying that we’re living in a time where misinformation spreads faster than ever, and shared reality is breaking down.

But what if the biggest threat to society isn’t the misinformation, but our relationship with truth itself?

In this powerful conversation, Osher Günsberg sits down with behavioural expert and author Dom Thurbon to unpack why humans lie, how beliefs are formed, and why facts alone rarely change our minds.

From climate anxiety and AI-generated misinformation to vaccine debates and identity-driven beliefs, this episode dives deep into the psychology of truth in a world where reality feels increasingly unstable.

Learn why many people don’t respond to logic, how 'ease' often drives behaviour more than truth, and what it actually takes to create honest conversations in your relationships, your work, and society at large.
