Listen "Audio:Breaking Free from Conformity | Eye Opener Society Podcast on Obedience, Creativity & Finding Your Voice"
Episode Synopsis
AUDIO VERSION
It begins with a simple bell in a waiting room. Everyone stands — not because they want to, but because everyone else does. One by one, the habit spreads until no one questions it. What seems like a harmless experiment becomes a mirror for our daily lives: every beep, every rule, every arrow on the floor is a quiet test of how far we’ll go to belong.
In this thought-provoking episode of Eye Opener Society, your hosts unravel the psychology of conformity and obedience — from viral experiments to the famous Asch conformity trials, Bandura’s Bobo doll study, and Milgram’s shocking obedience research. Along the way, they share deeply personal stories: a creative school project punished for originality, a parenting moment that exposed what behaviors we normalize, and reflections on how the rules of 2020 revealed just how quickly society can be reshaped.
This is more than an exploration of psychology. It’s a call to reclaim agency, creativity, and free thought. The hosts dive into how schools, workplaces, and even spiritual spaces often reward compliance over curiosity — and why true growth comes from those who dare to question. Through meditation, art, and energy work, they invite you to paint your own life instead of tracing someone else’s template.
By the end, one challenge remains: Will you stand because the bell told you to, or because your inner voice called you to rise?
Tune in, question everything, and join a community that values curiosity over compliance.
