🧠 Lecture: "Debunking Persistent Myths in Psychology"
🎤 Speaker: Dr. Jake Tuber
Does it really take 21 days to form a habit? Do serial killers really use more of their brain? Does smiling on purpose actually make you happier?
In this engaging, myth-busting talk, Dr. Jake Tuber takes on some of the most stubborn misconceptions about the human mind and behavior. Drawing on the latest psychological research, he’ll separate fact from fiction and show what science actually tells us about habits, happiness, and how our brains really work.
Dr. Tuber will also explore why these myths are so hard to shake—how they spread, why they stick, and what they reveal about the way we think. You’ll leave with practical insights you can apply to your own life, plus a sharper eye for spotting bad “pop psychology” in the wild.
Dr. Jake Tuber is an organizational psychologist, award-winning executive coach, and Managing Principal of Ticonderoga Advisory. He is also a top-rated psychology professor at CUNY and a former stand-up and improv comedian. His first book, The Deliberate Manager, premieres in February.
