Faculty Spotlight

Highlighting Faculty Member Matthew Lieberman

We navigate our lives with the unshakable conviction that we see the world exactly as it is—an “open window” to reality. Yet, this feeling is a powerful illusion; we are actually viewing the world through idiosyncratic lenses that combine with input from the world to construct our reality while hiding the construction process from us. This misunderstanding is the hidden root of social conflict and our deepening crisis of loneliness.
