The questions we type into Google say more about us than the things we say out loud, and this is certainly true on sensitive topics such as stress and burnout.
Search data shows us what people are looking for, what they’re worried about, what they’re struggling with, and how our behaviour is shifting in ways we don’t always notice.
In this episode Steve Paine and Tazmin talk about what this data reveals about human psychology. They discuss the changing information habits, and what two decades of search data tells us about how work, attention, and wellbeing have evolved.
