The Evolutionary Tug-of-War: Today’s World, Yesterday’s Psychological Software | Bill von Hippel - 898
Manage episode 475482384 series 2970842
Evolutionary psychologist Bill von Hippel joins me in this ep to pull back the curtain on how our minds got wired, why our ancient instincts still run the show in today's modern world, and what that means for connection, courage, happiness, and that frustrating tug-of-war between who we are and who we think we should be.
We talk about what resilience really is (and what it isn’t), how our desire to 'stand out' often leaves us disconnected, and the tricky balance between autonomy and belonging. I ask Bill why we keep doing the (often stupid) things that make us miserable even when we know better, how to outsmart our own brains, and how understanding the wiring beneath the behaviour can start to shift everything.
