    The Psychology of Dogs

    This has been the most requested topic after I previously did the psychology of cats; it’s the psychology of dogs. We think we know them better than any creature on earth, but what is actually going on behind those adorable eyes? Do they love us as completely as we think, and how much of canine psychology involves the human at the other end of the lead? With me to unpack the psychology of dogs are Professor Daniel Mills, Professor of Veterinary Behavioural Medicine at the University of Lincoln and co-author of Life Skills for Puppies and Being Your Cat; and Hanne Grice, Trainer and Clinical Animal Behaviourist and author of Playing With Your Dog.

    The Psychology of The Odyssey

    Have you seen it yet? The film of the summer? Have you forked out for the most padded seats in the cinema to watch Christopher Nolan’s three-hour bum-numbing epic of Matt Damon struggling to get home in a world without satnav? If you have, did you sit there thinking:  Why has a three thousand year old story got any relevance to today?Is there real psychology in here?Did the Greeks work something out about being human that we've ignored ever since? Well, these are exactly the questions my guest asks in their new book: The Odyssey Mindset. So, with me in this episode to discuss the psychology of The Odyssey is Dr Sam Akbar, clinical psychologist, Oxford classicist and author of the wonderful new book The Odyssey Mindset. – – – The Odyssey Mindset (Amazon UK): https://amzn.eu/d/0hprLgcy The Odyssey Mindset (Amazon US): https://a.co/d/07gDDhrD Follow Dr Akbar on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/drsam_akbar/ Send us Fan Mail To leave a voicenote, just visit speakpipe.com/everythingspsychology

    The Psychology of The Met Gala

    Every year, on the first Monday of May, something extraordinary happens. 450 of the world's most powerful, most beautiful, most photographed people climb a set of steps in Manhattan — and the internet collectively loses it’s mind. The Met Gala is billed as an exclusive charity fundraiser where tickets cost seventy-five thousand dollars. And yet somehow, it reaches billions of people sat at home in their tracksuits, who have never been within a mile of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. So, what’s going on? What does fashion communicate? Why do we feel so entitled to judge a celebs outfit? Why does a look that ‘understood the assignment’ give us a little hit of dopamine, while one that ‘played it safe’ feels like a personal disappointment? With me to discuss the psychology of the Met Gala and fashion is Professor Carolyn Mair, a cognitive psychologist and author of The Psychology of Fashion. – – – You can buy Carolyn's book, The Psychology of Fashion here >> https://www.routledge.com/The-Psychology-of-Fashion/Mair/p/book/9781032712529 And follow Carolyn on Instagram here >>  https://www.instagram.com/psychologyforfashion/ Send us Fan Mail To leave a voicenote, just visit speakpipe.com/everythingspsychology
