Psychology After Dark

Episode 29 - Instincts: Friend or Foe?


Listen Later

Has anyone ever told you, “You are your own worst enemy?” Even the smartest people can make incredibly bad decisions, often sabotaging their own goals and even bringing harm to others. Drs. Rob Barrett and Louis Francescutti have taken this basic idea and applied their respective expertise to look at why we often make decisions that are bad for our overall health, despite having volumes of information at our finger tips. In this interview you will discover how the most primitive part of our brain interacts with the abundance of the digital age; how to avoid the one place in every community that can be more dangerous for your health than a war zone; how to deal with the unexpected social problem that’s worse for you than smoking; what the single most important day-to-day requirement is for sound decision making; how to tell a good story and why storytelling is important in the information age; what the simplest and most effective way is to increase your happiness, instantly; how these current dark times can (and probably will) lead to an amazing cultural renaissance; and last but not least, where to find Canada’s tastiest chocolate milk. Join Drs. Micono and Morelos as they interview the authors of the book, Hardwired: How Our Instincts to be Healthy are Making Us Sick.
