Ever wondered how small psychological shifts can create massive life changes? Stanford psychology professor Greg Walton reveals the science behind “wise interventions” – evidence-based strategies that tackle psychological barriers and transform educational outcomes. Through fascinating research and compelling stories, Walton explains how feeling like you don’t belong, approaching challenges with fixed thinking, and other psychological barriers can trigger downward spirals—and how these same barriers can be overcome with targeted interventions. From why changing “I write” to “I am a writer” creates deeper identity, to the surprising impact of acknowledging differences, Walton shares insights from his groundbreaking book, “Ordinary Magic: The Science of How We Can Achieve Big Change with Small Acts.” Discover powerful techniques that help students thrive, marriages endure, and communities heal through the extraordinary power of ordinary psychological shifts.
