Hacking Your Mind Season 1

With Jacob Ward of 'The TODAY Show' as your guide, you’ll discover that all of us go through most of our lives on autopilot. Travel with him as he journeys around the world and inside your mind on a quest to find the autopilot's owner's manual.

The advent of big data has given corporate marketers, social media companies and politicians the ability to hack your autopilot system in shocking new ways. Learn why the survival of democracy itself is at stake and how you can protect it.

Many of the divisions tearing our country apart arise from our autopilot biases against ‘them’ and how authoritarians ‘hack’ those biases to gain power. Find out how each of us can overcome our autopilot biases and see the world as it really is.

The same scientists who revealed why our minds are so easy to hack have also made perhaps the most important discovery of the 21st century: how each us can make our own lives and those of our family, friends, and entire society work better.
