Nicholas Epley
Professor at the University of Chicago, Director of the Roman Family Center for Decision Research, Author
​Nicholas Epley conducts research on the experimental study of social cognition, perspective taking and intuitive human judgment. "Most people are intuitive psychologists in their daily lives - wondering why people think or behave as they do. I just happened to find a profession that enables me to answer these questions for a living," explains Epley.
In his new book, Mindwise: How We Understand What Others Think, Believe, Feel, and Want (February, 2014), Epley introduces what scientists have learned about our abilities to understand the most complicated puzzle on the planet—other people—and the surprising mistakes we so routinely make. His research has appeared in more than two dozen journals, including the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Psychological Science, Psychological Review and the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology. His research also has been featured by the Wall Street Journal, CNN, Wired and National Public Radio, among many others, has been funded by the National Science Foundation and has earned the 2008 Theoretical Innovation Award from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology and the 2010 Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contributions from the American Psychological Association.
Epley received a bachelor's degree in Psychology and Philosophy in 1996 from Saint Olaf College. In 2001, he graduated from Cornell University with a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Psychology, where he earned a Graduate Teaching Award from the Department of Psychology as well as a Cornell University Teaching Fellowship. Epley became an Assistant Professor at Harvard University and then joined the Chicago Booth faculty in 2004. He hopes that his students gain an appreciation for the power of scientific methodologies to provide accurate knowledge about the determinants of human thought and behavior.
Outside of Chicago Booth, Epley's interests include hiking, fishing and woodworking.

Keith Yamashita
The Institute for Moral Imagination
Keith is trained as an economist—focused on highly predictive quantitative micro-econometric models. He thought he was going to be an economist for The World Bank.
​
His career has played out as everything but that. His first boss was Steve Jobs. He worked on launching ideas and products in the world. From there, Keith founded SYPartners (a transformation consultancy), the kyu collective (one of the world’s largest creative collectives), and This Human Moment (an online community working through the suffering of the pandemic to find a new humanism on the other side).
​
On the eve of his 50th year, Keith had a devastating stroke that stole his speech, his cognition, and put his career at risk. In that rebuilding year—when he could not work, could not lead, could not express his ideas—Keith began a journey of deep reflection on what really matters. This year—ten years into this renewal—he brings to Pathstone’s conference wisdom about what it really means to pursue the life you prefer.
​
Keith holds an M.A. in Organizational Behavior and a B.A. in Quantitative Economics from Stanford University.
