Left, Right, Left - Wisdom Letter #35
“In times of a pandemic, everyone’s a socialist”
In this Wisdom Letter, we explore the “isms” being used around the world to drive policy. We rekindle the age old “socialism vs capitalism” debate in a new light. And we try to understand a much misrepresented value system that very few people actually get — Libertarianism.
Raising A Human - Wisdom Letter #34
There’s little space for nuance in any parenting debate these days.
In this Wisdom Letter, we go looking for some nuance in parenting, we try to find balance between the extremes. We try to understand what, and how much impact, do our actions as parents have on our children’ lives. And we see how the modern “parenting project” is different from the experience of just “being a parent”.

The Paradox Of Rational Choice - Wisdom Letter #36
We are not rational, but rationalizing beings. But we can nudge ourselves to become a better versions of ourselves everyday.
In this Wisdom Letter, we take deeper look at our irrational behavior, we discuss the deluge of choices we seemed to be drowned in, and are they a good or a bad thing? We try to understand behavior science concepts such as “Nudge” and “Choice Architecture” in the most fun way possible.
And, we take a look at a Fly on the Wall. (Well technically, not on the wall!)
New Beginnings - The Wisdom Project (Hindi)
We fumbled our way to coming up with a model for the Hindi version of The Wisdom Project. Some of our most loved posts in Hindi follow—
क्यों हैं Generation Y इतनी नाखुश?
इनसे मिलिए , ये है लूसी
लूसी, नई जनरेशन - जनरेशन Y का हिस्सा है। जनरेशन Y वो जनरेशन है जो 1975 से 1990 के बीच पैदा हुई है। जनरेशन Y के कई सदस्य अपने आप को एक महान गाथा का हीरो मानते है। उनकी इसी धारणा के फायदे और नुकसान थोड़ी देर में जानेंगे। (इस जनरेशन के लोगों को हम आगे GYPSY कहकर बुलाएंगे)
जनरेशन Y के कई सदस्यों की तरह लूसी को भी खुद पर बड़ा नाज़ है। बस एक प्रॉब्लम है - वो थोड़ी नाखुश है। इस जनरेशन की नाखुशी के बारे में जानने से पहले ये जानते है क कोई भी कभी भी नाखुश कब होता है?
Behavior Science - Part 1 (Hindi)
आज हम बात करेंगे Behavior Science के बारे में जिसे हिंदी में व्यवहारिक विज्ञान बोल सकते है ।
बीते कुछ सालों में पश्चिम में इस विषय पर काफी शोध हुई है। इसके लिए इसके शोध कर्ताओं को नोबेल पुरस्कार से सम्मनित भी किया गया है।
ये जानना हमारे लिए ज़रूरी है क्यूंकि इस शोध में ऐसी कई बातें है जो आपके हमारे जीवन को बहुत गहराई से प्रभावित करती है।
क्या है Behavior Science?
