In our generation we were lucky, yet whele we formed true human relationships. Now people are getting their same social iner actions on a screen with people sometimes they don't even really know. And so there is a drawback to our modern society, especially in the highly developed countries because that's not what human beings are. Human beings are just like your two dogs. They like to play together. That's mammalian behaviour. Not nearly as sophisticated as we are, but it's that type of interaction that everybody remembers and loves likes. We've got to love and like each other, otherwise the world goes to helen in a basket.
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.
