Why people recommend it
La Poetica by Aristotle, commonly known as Poetics, is a foundational philosophical and literary treatise examining the nature of drama, tragedy, and poetic art. While the podcast segments referencing this theoretical work actually feature discussions by behavioral scientist Dan Ariely regarding his own modern psychology publications, hosts and guests explored complex human behaviors. On The Jordan Harbinger Show in October 2023, Dan Ariely discussed making adjustments to a book he authored, adding sections titled 'hopefully helpful' while acknowledging that real-world human solutions are multifaceted and deeply complex. Ariely reflected on the more depressing aspects of his research, noting that behavioral problems turned out to be much bigger, more intricate, and more painful than he initially realized when he started writing. In another episode of The Jordan Harbinger Show in August 2023, the host recalled specific insights from Ariely's work concerning lying, stress, and how humans eventually adapt to psychological pressures. Although distinct from Aristotle's ancient dramatic theory, these podcast discussions bridge classical themes of human nature with contemporary behavioral science, exploring how people respond to psychological stress, deception, and personal challenges.
