3. The Power of Pause with Dave and Shari Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

When we talk about good thinking, we often point to highly purposeful attitudes and strategies like using thinking routines, taking an inquiry stance, or being actively metacognitive. But good thinking isn’t entirely a matter of strategic mental effort: There are moments when pausing in the midst of effort can be powerful and important. However, such moments pass us by all too easily. In this episode of Thinkability, PZ founding member David Perkins and long-time principal investigator Shari Tishman explore the power and pleasure of pause, with a special focus on the connection between pause and thinking.
