Everyone asks the same question: What do you read to think like Sherlock Holmes? But the real skill isn’t in memorising book lists it’s in learning how to decide what’s worth reading in the first place.

In this episode of The Deductionist Podcast, we breaks down a process for choosing reading material that sharpens memory, reasoning, and observation without wasting time on clutter. You’ll learn how to separate fads from facts, why neuroscience, psychology, and behavioural science are the best hunting grounds, and how to build a “reading filter” that keeps your knowledge evidence-based.

We’ll also explore how your choice of reading naturally shapes your speciality: observation, reasoning, or memory. Plus, why “self-directed casework” and a dynamic reading map can keep your skills evolving.

And it’s not all about work. Reading for fun novels, comics, stories boosts empathy, lowers stress, and keeps your thinking flexible. Science shows that just six minutes of reading can cut stress levels by nearly 70%.

Whether you’re refining your Sherlockian skillset or simply looking for smarter ways to learn, this episode gives you the framework to choose reading that fuels real growth.

In this eye-opening episode of The Deductionist Podcast, hosts from the Behavioural Intelligence Academy explore one of the most misunderstood yet powerful aspects of human behaviour, context. Why do people act so differently in seemingly similar situations? How can changing environments alter the meaning of someone's actions entirely? From cognitive biases to high-profile case studies, we unpack how the framing effect, baseline shifts, and motive interplay with environmental cues to shape human behaviour.

Featuring expert insights, real-world examples, and critical thinking games, this episode is essential for anyone interested in behavioural science, psychology, or just understanding people better. Tune in to learn how to truly “see” behaviour, not just look at it.

🔍 Topics Covered:

The importance of contextual filters in behaviour analysis

Kurt Lewin’s behavioural equation explained

Framing effects and the power of perception

How motive and environment shape observable behaviour

Why “autopilot observation” leads to flawed conclusions

📌 Perfect for professionals in intelligence, psychology, law enforcement, leadership, or anyone fascinated by the human mind.
