How Love Really Works

Most of us have ideas about what we’re looking for in a romantic partner. But psychologist Paul Eastwick says these preferences are surprisingly poor guides for finding love. He explains why attraction is so difficult to predict, and what the research suggests is the best way to meet someone with whom you'll connect. Then, in a new installment of “Your Questions Answered,” psychologist Ed Lemay responds to your questions about how we project our own thoughts and feelings onto other people, and how these projections shape our relationships. In our companion conversation for Hidden Brain+ subscribers, we talk with Paul Eastwick about online dating apps. He says apps can powerfully shape our experience of meeting potential romantic partners — often not for the better. If you're a subscriber, that episode is called “The Online Dating Trap.” If you're not yet a subscriber, you can listen to that conversation with a free seven-day trial to Hidden Brain+ by going to support.hiddenbrain.org. If you use an Apple device, you can subscribe via Apple Podcasts at apple.co/hidden brain. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Leaf it to Nature

We walk on them, rake them up, often barely give them a thought, but the humble leaf is an extraordinary feat of biological engineering. Adam Rutherford and Jessica Fostekew are joined plant scientist Tracy Lawson, biologist Jonathan Silvertown, and comedian Alex Kealy to uncover the hidden ingenuity of leaves. They explore how leaves evolved, why plants face a constant battle between thirst and starvation, and whether understanding their clever adaptations could help us engineer crops for a hotter, drier future. Producer: Mel Brown A BBC Studios Production

The Rothschild Dynasty 💰🏰 | Banking Empires, Family Secrets, and Marriages That Shaped a Fortune | Boring History for Sleep

Few family names have become as closely associated with wealth and financial influence as the Rothschilds. Their story began in 18th-century Frankfurt, where Mayer Amschel Rothschild built a banking business that his five sons would expand across Europe's major financial centers. This episode follows the rise of the Rothschild dynasty through generations of banking, business alliances, political connections, and family traditions. Discover how the family established branches in London, Paris, Vienna, Naples, and Frankfurt, building an international network during an era of wars, revolutions, and rapid economic change. A particularly intriguing part of their history lies in their approach to marriage. In the 19th century, some Rothschild relatives married within the extended family, helping preserve wealth and strengthen connections between different branches of the dynasty. These arrangements reflected the social conventions and inheritance concerns of their time, though they also raised difficult questions about family loyalty, personal choice, and the boundaries between private life and business. How did a family business become an international financial dynasty? What role did marriage and inheritance play in preserving its fortune? And how did the Rothschilds adapt as the economic world around them changed? Settle in for a journey through the history of one of Europe's most famous banking families, exploring its ambitions, traditions, and complicated legacy.

The Story of Stories

Why is my friend late? How does nuclear fission work? What can I do to help my baby sleep through the night? We all feel the need to understand why certain things happen. Some researchers think the drive to explain the world is a basic human impulse, similar to thirst or hunger. This week on Hidden Brain, psychologist Tania Lombrozo discusses how explanations can lead to discovery, delight, and disaster. Then, Jonathan Rottenberg answers your questions about rethinking depression on Your Questions Answered. What are the mistakes most of us make when we try to resist a craving? We talk about that in our latest YouTube video. Check it out, and leave a comment letting us know what you think of the techniques we discuss for grappling with temptations.
