What makes us human? And what makes us individuals? Can we maintain our individuality when we’re hard wired to belong to a group? We used to think our ability to use tools separated us from the animal kingdom.

What Makes Us - Us?

Hello and welcome to Make Life Work where I’ll be talking about people, culture and everything humanity (animals, too as they're part of humanity). It might sound like a mix between psychology and cultural anthropology classes but much more entertaining. I’ll talk about how we shape culture and how it traps us, and look at how the expectations of social groups and families impact how we think, feel and behave. It’s impossible to separate the nature of people and the influence of society. We all have a little something we have to deal with and we often get in the way of our success and happiness. The great news is just a little change goes a very long way. Society can't change if people don't grow as humans and people won't change if society fails to evolve. We need to attend to both, the health of society and the health of people.
