  • Summary

  • Season Three: Behind the Brain - Ever wonder what drives someone to study a particular aspect of a particular subject for so many years that they become a doctor in it? What's behind that passion and drive to pursue learning at the highest levels? We wanted to know, and we knew just who to ask.

    Discover the journeys, experiences and not-so-straight paths that led to the academic feats achieved by our PhD faculty. You'll learn not just how life can take us in unexpected directions, but how problem-solving, critical-thinking, determination, and creativity can make you more resilient in an (ever-more) unpredictable world.


    Season Two: The Wonderkind - Uncovering the hidden needs of bright and curious children, what it's really like to be 'the smart kid,' and what it actually takes to help these kids flourish - and why it matters.

    Season One: A scintillating, surprising journey through ideas of what it means to be a genius and how you can think like one too.


    Think Like a Genius is written, produced, and hosted by Sarah Meehan Sirk.
