ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What would you do if the person closest to you woke up believing something that sounded completely crazy?

In part two of Persuadable, CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan explores one route out of conspiracy theory belief.
Listen to more of Donie's conversation with Dr. Joe Pierre, author of False: How Mistrust, Disinformation, and Motivated Reasoning Make Us Believe Things That Aren’t True, on YouTube.
