Full show notes here: https://jordanharbinger.com/479 What We Discuss with Lisa Feldman Barrett: 🦎 Our brains evolved to keep our bodies alive -- thinking is just a bonus by-product. 🦎 Why the lizard brain theory is a myth. 🦎 More like companies than computers, our brains reorganize themselves when the situation calls for adaptation to survive. 🦎 How our brains predict what we think we’re hearing and seeing, and how this affects our behavior. 🦎 Why you're not really left-brained or right-brained. 🦎 And much more... Anyone who's spent more than five minutes on social media probably won't be stunned to learn that the human brain didn't evolve for thinking. So what is it for? Renowned research neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett joins us to discuss this and more from her latest book, Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain. On this episode, we'll debunk the lizard brain theory, dive into brain development and what happens during the learning process, discover how our brains rewire themselves to the world around them, find out how emotion affects our senses and influences the way we make predictions, and much more.
