Episode notes

A, whatd whay would you think it was the was it just because our ancestors were were really, really hungry? Or is it more of a incremental thing that would sort of pull that into the regular diet of a early homonhead. A study i remember where people would smell a cheese and or they would smell body odor. And if they weren't primed to know which t was which, they would experience disgust. But if they were primed, they would feel disgust for one and not for the other.

In this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer, a neuroscientist and addiction psychiatrist, discusses bad habits and how to change them.

He is the author of The Craving Mind: From Cigarettes to Smartphones to Love -- Why We Get Hooked and how We Can Break Bad Habits -- and his TED Talk on how to change a bad habit has more than 12 million views.

But...we talk about so many other things in this episode. It's a free association smorgasbord of brain stuff that will rattle your head.
