Jonah Lehrer is an engaging speaker. As an alumni of Oxoford University, he shares a unique perspective on modern studies in behavior. His approach to academics and learning is provocative, boldly stating that the key to learning in college is to remain an outsider.
As a student, Lehrer suggests that there is no better tactic for acquiring knowledge than immersing yourself in a strange and unfamiliar atmosphere.
