I think there are always, in every circumstance, one to three % of the population that is a kind of socio pathic that disrupt things for others. We have only just begun to realize that what we have done to the world at large is really extraordinary. And we've got to heel some of that, otherwise we're all going to go down the cliff as it collapses. So iam still a hard working optimist that hopes that education about our systemic predicament,. especially the neuro science and evolutionary psychology of who we are as a species will help us understand how the brain works.
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.
