Every person’s experience in life is different. From a very young age, we learn what actions help us get what we need to survive and thrive. All of these learnings eventually form our belief system, our story. When our beliefs are challenged we are hard-wired to defend ourselves or flee. To find out if these early evolutionary patterns help us in modern-day society or are an outdated response we have yet to shed, Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with author Lisa Cron. Lisa shares key components from her book, Wired for Story, and the neuroscience behind human connection and communication.

CHOOSE TO BE CURIOUS

Ep. #216: Curiosity & Aging, with Michiko Sakaki

Today’s conversation with Ben Rein, PhD is a Choose to be Curious trifecta: a neuroscientist, who studies empathy, has devoted himself to science communication, and willingly stands in the chaotic swirl where curiosity can go weirdly very awry.

Ben is a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Robert Malenka's lab at Stanford University and a science communicator on social media. 

You might know him as @Dr.Brein on TikTok or @Doctor.Brein on Instagram. He’s the one summarizing research papers, teaching neuroscience basics, and debunking viral videos that promote scientific misinformation. 

Somehow, Ben has managed to combine curiosity, empathy and social media and have genuine good come of it. At some point in our conversation I declared his work a "special kind of alchemy." I stand by that.

Ep. #225: A Special Alchemy: Curiosity, Empathy & Social Media, with Dr. Ben Rein

Deborah Netolicky talks with Dr Jared Cooney Horvath about brain science, memory, learning, and the impact of technology on young people. Jared (PhD, MEd) is a neuroscientist, educator, and author of 'Stop Talking, Start Influencing: 12 Insights from Brain Science to Make Your Message Stick'. At the crossroads between the laboratory and the classroom, Jared spends most of his time working directly with schools or helping companies, schools and organisations to improve training, education, impact, and engagement.

New Year, Timeless Wisdom! John L. Jackson, Jr., Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, Valoria Walker and Jack Zhang drop some serious wisdom. I’ve pulled segments from four conversations to carry us into the new year.

Forget new resolutions, try returning to things you know have worked for you already!

Ep. #260: New Year, Timeless Wisdom

Six years ago I sat down with Jacqueline Gottlieb, Ph.D., Professor of Neuroscience and Principal Investigator at Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute, the very first neuroscientist I’d ever interviewed. 

It was a delightful and far-ranging conversation.

At some point she made a bold and quite tantalizing statement. “Curiosity," she said, "is going to take neuroscience to the next frontier.” 

Today we check in on that assertion. We talked about visual systems, value systems, motivation, cognition, personality psychology, stress tolerance, introversion, extroversion and why it's a good idea for scientists to talk to one another.

S1 E6: How to use Your Intuition in All Aspects of Life to Make Your Life Better with Intuitive, Clairvoyant & Silva Method Instructor, Cate

On sale June 3rd, 2025

A neuroscientist and surgeon makes an argument for the existence of a spiritual human soul in this eye-opening book.

Many scientists and doctors believe that there is no such thing as the soul. That there is no part of us that persists beyond death. We are not spiritual in any respect. We are made up of cells and tissue, and completely controlled by a material organ in our heads: the brain. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael Egnor makes the case—based on 40 years of practice and over 7,000 brain surgeries—that science has gotten it all wrong. 

The human brain is incredible, mysterious, and powerful. But it’s not what makes us who we are. The soul does that. Drawing on the most important research studies in neuroscience, Dr. Egnor presents evidence that the brain alone does not explain the mind. He explores, using modern neuroscience and his vast surgical experience, how inside every damaged brain there is a thinking, feeling person with a spiritual soul that transcends the brain, using fascinating case studies to prove his claim.

Engaging, thought-provoking, and groundbreaking, The Immortal Mind shows here that some aspect of who we are is spiritual and immortal, transcending the physical body.
