Changing Minds with Owen Fitzpatrick

In this episode of Changing Minds, I explore 16 powerful books that explain how the world really works, from human psychology and morality to technology, attention, status, and time.
These big ideas help us understand why we argue, why we're distracted, why society feels polarized, and how we can think more clearly in a complex world. If you want frameworks that genuinely change how you see people, power, and progress, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Changing Minds, I kick off a brand-new Big Ideas series by exploring 12 powerful books that can fundamentally transform the way you think.
From behavioral economics and neuroscience to emotion, decision-making, and self-awareness, I break down the core ideas behind books like Thinking Fast and Slow, Think Again, How Emotions Are Made, and more.
These aren't productivity hacks; they're deep ideas that challenge assumptions, reshape perspective, and help you become a better thinker, leader, and human being.

Trust changes everything.
In this episode of Changing Minds, I explore the art and science of trust and why it matters so deeply, how it works in the brain, and what we can do to build it more intentionally with others and with ourselves. I break down the neuroscience behind trust, explain how our brains use prediction to decide who to trust, and share my 10 Cs of Trust framework, a practical checklist for becoming more trustworthy in leadership, relationships, and communication.
I also dive into one of the most overlooked forms of trust: self-trust and why it's the missing link in personal change, confidence, and follow-through.

Judgment is everywhere, and it's quietly tearing us apart.
In this episode of Changing Minds, I explore why being judgmental comes so naturally, how it fuels polarization, and why it damages both our relationships and our mental health. I break down the three ways we judge people, the psychological reasons behind it, and most importantly, practical tools you can use to stop falling into the judgment trap.
This is one of the most important conversations I've had in a long time, because if we want to heal division, influence others, and live with more compassion, we have to start by judging others and ourselves less.
