Medicine Through the Ages 🩺🏺 | The Strange History of Ancient Healing | Boring History for Sleep

Long before modern hospitals, antibiotics, and advanced surgery, people had their own ways of understanding illness and treating the human body. Some remedies were surprisingly practical, while others were based on beliefs about spirits, humors, magic, and the unseen forces behind disease. This episode travels through the history of medicine, exploring how ancient physicians, healers, herbalists, and surgeons tried to diagnose illness and restore health. From Egyptian remedies and Mesopotamian healers to Greek physicians, Roman medicine, and medieval traditions, each era added new ideas to humanity’s growing understanding of the body. What did ancient people believe caused disease? How were injuries treated without modern technology? Which remedies actually worked, and which only reflected the medical knowledge of their time? Settle in for a journey through centuries of strange theories, forgotten treatments, remarkable discoveries, and the long human search for a better understanding of medicine. Boring History for Sleep — Soft stories about the strange journey of healing.

Why Am I Unhappy?

We often imagine that feelings of unhappiness come from outside us — in our circumstances or the difficult people in our lives. But what if the forces that erode our happiness come from within? Psychologist George Loewenstein joins us to explore why our minds nudge us toward the negative, even when we want to feel happy. He also offers ways to better understand these forces and lessen their power over us. And on Your Questions Answered, psychologist Alison Ledgerwood returns to respond to your questions about our tendency to focus on the negative. What if your emotions aren't reactions to the world, but predictions that your brain is making? We discuss this mind-bending idea on our YouTube channel. Check it out, and be sure to subscribe so you don't miss any of our upcoming videos! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Talking with the dead

“If only I could talk with them again.” It’s a common refrain for anyone who is grieving someone they love. Now, we can access technology like deadbots, or AI replicas of a lost loved one, to simulate those conversations, but at what cost? Maybe we’ve always had the capacity — within our own voices — to deepen conversations with the people we’re missing, even after they’re gone. GUESTS: University of Cambridge assistant professors Katarzyna Nowaczyk-Basińska and Tomasz Hollanek, writer and psycholinguist Julie Sedivy. If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help. Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling, or you can reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline by calling or texting 988.

369 | Gregg Caruso on Living Well Without Free Will

The worry about debates over free will is that they degenerate into semantics -- what do you mean by "free will," really? But there are important substantive issues that shouldn't be ignored. Do people deserve blame for doing wrong things? Can we make choices that create meaning for our lives? Philosopher Gregg Caruso denies the reality of free will, but is in favor of making good choices, as he discusses in his new book How to Live Well Without Free Will. Listen or watch Rolex Planet Visionaries wherever you get your podcasts. #ad Blog post with transcript: https://preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2026/09/28/369-gregg-caruso-on-living-well-without-free-will/ Support Mindscape on Patreon(opens in new tab).

When Bad Things Happen to Good People

When historian Kate Bowler was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer, she became fascinated by the ways people try to impose order on events they can't control. She joins us to explore what it means to live fully when life offers no satisfying explanation for the tragedies we may face. Then, in the latest installment of "Your Questions Answered," psychologist Lisa Miller returns to answer listener questions about the relationship between science and spirituality. In our companion conversation for subscribers to Hidden Brain Plus, we take a deep dive into the origins and surprising spread of the prosperity gospel that Kate has studied. If you're a subscriber, that episode is called “The Gospel of Success.” If you're not yet a subscriber, you can access a free seven-day trial at support.hiddenbrain.org or apple.co/hiddenbrain.
