  • I have a question

    I am trying to get my head around this concept, bit feel that it falls apart in the semantics of pulling it apart. Sapolsky says that instead of telling our child that they are smart , we should CHOOSE to say they worked hard . How do we choose if we have no free will? Similarly, we should feel that we don’t deserve blame or praise , but how do we choose that also ?

  • Love the Topics and Guests!

    As a practicing therapists specializing in Addiction and Trauma, I’ve loved every episode I’ve listened to so far! You marry psychology, neuroscience, and anthropology/ cultural influence in such a seamless beautiful way to present oversimplified topics with the breadth and depth they deserve. more

  • Light and largely data free

    One of my top 3 podcasts several years ago. Then they went full on social justice and it became just another NPR show showing only half the data; so I dropped out for a year or so. Came back recently and was hopeful. Listened to recent shows on food, dating and where AI came from. Just ok. Lots of opinions without backing and very little that's new or not obvious. more
