Dr. Anjan Chatterjee is a renowned professor and the founding Director of the Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics. He's a leading expert on how our brains perceive beauty and art, and author of an engaging book on this topic: “The Aesthetic Brain: How We Evolved to Desire Beauty and Enjoy Art"

In this beautiful conversation, we explore:

  • the intersection of beauty, conversation, and the human brain
  • how our biological evolution has left us in a world that often feels disconnected from our innate ways of communicating
  • the aesthetic qualities of conversations, the biases we hold toward beauty, and how cultural representations influence our perceptions
  • the importance of awareness in mitigating biases
  • how to embrace complex ideas, rather than simplify them
