The Illegal Trans WomanThe Illegal Trans Woman – Ep. 16: Judge Reyes Rebukes Trump, Bridging Social Divides, and Paul Weiss Bows DownThis week’s Big Story is about federal Judge Ana Reyes and her stinging rebuke of the Trump Administration’s ban on transgender service members; wow! The Big Interview is with Nick Epley, a University of Chicago behavioral scientist who talks about social isolation and the rewards of taking a risk to reach out to someone who is “other”—like a trans person. In News Bites, I talk about how the mega law firm, Paul Weiss, bent a knee to Trump, setting a dangerous precedent for the legal profession and efforts to uphold the rule of law.

Moral of the StoryUniversity of Chicago Booth School of Business professor Nick Epley on a train ride conversation that influenced a decade of research on human connectionNick Epley's train ride to his University of Chicago office used to be a predictably uneventful affair: 45 minutes of people looking out the window or staring at their phones, oblivious to the world around them. But one morning, the behavioral scientist decided to try something different. When a woman sat down next to him, he complimented her on her hat. That compliment began a conversation that would change the trajectory of Nick's research over the ensuing decade, and it would change the way Nick approached his life.MoSpod.org2023-09-071h 08

FlowSmall Talk with StrangersBehavioral psychologist Nick Epley joins me to discuss small talk with strangers, and how certain misconceptions keep us from saying hello more often or getting deeper into more meaningful conversations. If we can understand that we have “miscalibrated expectations” about others` interest and our own enjoyment, perhaps we can get over this reluctance to engage with strangers. We confront this with other potential barriers including introversion and technology. The stakes couldn`t be bigger. Improved social lives increase happiness and longevity and improved sociality could rebuild our frazzled societies.
