The most important job of your brain is to regulate the systems of your body. If you go back 550 million years ago, animals didn't have brains. They got along pretty well without brains. And there's a really interesting narrative about how brains evolved and potentially even why they evolved.
Lisa is a Neuroscientist, psychologist, and author of the books "Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain" and "How Emotions are Made". We talk about:
- How expressing your emotions can help you control them
- Why democracy might not be great for brain's body budgeting
