Smart Change: Break the habits that hold you back and form the habits of success with Art Markman.
One in ten French people still believe the earth may be flat;
One-quarter of Australians think that cavemen and dinosaurs existed at the same time;
One in nine Brits think the 9/11 attacks were a US government conspiracy;
15 per cent of Americans believe that the media or government adds secret mind-controlling signals to television transmissions.
Our main interest is not niche stupidity or minority belief in conspiracies, but much more general and widespread misperceptions about individual, social and political realities.
Do you eat too much sugar?
Is violence in the world increasing or decreasing?
What proportion of your country are Muslim?
What does it cost to raise a child?
How much do we need to save for retirement?
How much tax do the rich pay?
When we estimate the answers to these fundamental questions that directly affect our lives, we tend to be vastly wrong, irrespective of how educated we are.

Welcome back the author of “Scale: The Universal Laws of Life and Death in Organisms, Cities and Companies” Geoffrey West
Our guest’s research centres on a quest to find unifying principles and patterns connecting everything, from cells and ecosystems to cities, social networks and businesses. Questions he poses include: Why do organisms and ecosystems scale with size in a remarkably universal and systematic fashion? Is there a maximum size of cities? Of animals and plants? What about companies? Can scale show us how to create a more sustainable future? By applying the rigour of physics to questions of biology, He found that despite the riotous diversity in the sizes of mammals, they are all, to a large degree, scaled versions of each other. This speaks to everything from how long we can expect to live to how many hours of sleep we each need. He then made the even bolder move of exploring his work’s applicability to cities and to the business world. These investigations have led to powerful insights into the elemental natural laws that bind us together in profound ways, and how all complex systems are dancing to the same simple tune, however diverse and unrelated they may seem.
