Episode Details
Back to Episodes15 Minute Mondays - What If the Language You Speak Is Quietly Shaping the Way You Think?
Description
You probably think language describes what you already believe, but some research suggests the relationship may also run in the other direction. If you are interested in behaviour, decision-making and the hidden machinery behind your own thinking, this episode will show you how the words you repeatedly use can direct attention and sometimes trap you inside your own descriptions.
Key Takeaways
- Discover why linguistic relativity is more nuanced than “language controls thought”.
- Examine the fascinating research around colour, time, grammatical structure and behaviour.
- Catch identity labels that quietly close down inquiry.
- Replace interpretations with specific, observable language.
- Use a five-step process to make your everyday language more precise and actionable.
The weekly challenge is simple: find five sentences you repeatedly use about yourself, another person or your life, and rewrite them so they describe what is actually happening instead of declaring what something permanently “is”.
