Richard Wiseman: The Curious Psychology Behind What We Believe

From Television Times with Steve Otis Gunn Jilted Maggot

Richard Wiseman has spent his career studying luck, fear, the paranormal, and the strange edges of human behaviour — and is genuinely the most interesting person to sit next to at a dinner party.

Professor Richard Wiseman is a British psychologist, author, and magician, holder of the UK's only professorship in the public understanding of psychology, and the author of bestselling books including The Luck Factor, 59 Seconds, and Paranormality. He also hosts the podcast Richard Wiseman's On Your Mind.

How we form beliefs around luck, fear, and the paranormal — and what the science actually says
What lucid dreaming reveals about consciousness and the limits of the waking mind
The blurred lines between science and experience that his research keeps returning to
How he overcame early television nerves — and what performing magic teaches you about presence and connection
