Featuring studies by psychologists like Leon Festinger, Dr. Joel Cooper, Dr. Linda Bacon, and Dr. Robert Cialdini, the discussion highlights ways to address cognitive dissonance by aligning behaviors with beliefs, fostering inclusive understandings of health, promoting environmentally friendly choices, and engaging constructively in political and social discourse.
