What gives you most hope about the ture, at least the next coming decade or so? Well, i've always believed, despite my pat being natural resources and energy, that this all comes down to human behavior. And we can't understand human behavior without a biology in a historical perspective, and fusing that in with cultural possibilities. I mean, the fact is that there are lots of very smart people in the us. We've got lots of problems, but i think that we can cre an opportunity now because it's a wealthy country.
On this episode we meet with psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and author Peter Whybrow.
Whybrow gives us an overview of why humans tend to consume excessively in resource-abundant societies. Why is it difficult for humans to change our ways?
Additionally, Whybrow shares pathways for humans to move toward having a well-tuned brain.
