    Emotions 2.0: The Logic of Rage

    Neuroscientist Doug Fields was on a trip to Europe when a pickpocket stole his wallet. Doug, normally mild-mannered, became enraged — and his fury turned him into a stranger to himself. This week, we revisit a favorite 2020 episode about the secret logic of irrational anger.

    Your Questions Answered: Nick Epley on Connecting with Others

    Many of us often wrongly assume that other people don't want to engage in conversation with us. And on the rare occasions we do talk with strangers, we're surprised at how good it feels. We talked about this recently with psychologist Nick Epley. This week, Nick returns to respond to your follow-up questions about your own experiences engaging with others. If you haven't yet listened to our initial interview with Nick Epley, you can find it on the Hidden Brain podcast, or on our website. It's the episode called "You 2.0: The Gift of Other People."

    Emotions 2.0: What's Better than Being Happy?

    Many of us go to great lengths to be happy. But is our singular focus on feeling good actually making us miserable? This week, psychologist Jordi Quoidbach explores what happens when we try to live in an emotional monoculture, and makes a case for letting it all in — the ups ... and the downs.

    Emotions 2.0: The Benefits of Mixed Emotions

    Sometimes we feel just one single feeling with overwhelming force. We're joyously happy. We're crushingly sad. But sometimes it's more complicated than that: We feel happy and sad at the same time. This week, we revisit a favorite 2022 episode with psychologist Naomi Rothman, who shares her research on the mixed emotion of ambivalence. She explores how being of two minds changes the way we think, and how it changes the way others see us.

    Emotions 2.0: The Feeling that Moves Us Forward

    For centuries, philosophers and theologians have warned about the dangers of hubris. It’s an emotion that can make us arrogant, egotistical, and reckless. But psychologist Jessica Tracy suggests this caution is too broad. She argues that when we see pride only as a negative emotion, we miss out on all the powerful ways it can also be a driver of creativity, altruism, and accomplishment.

    Your Questions Answered: Ben Rosenberg on Reactance

    You've probably had moments where you felt like someone was trying to restrict your freedom. And you may have also experienced what it's like to ask someone else to do something you knew they would resist. We recently talked about these kinds of interactions and how to handle them with psychologist Benjamin Rosenberg. This week, Ben comes back to the show to answer your questions about the phenomenon of "psychological reactance." If you missed our first episode with Ben, be sure to check it out! It's called "You're Not the Boss of Me!" You can find it anywhere you get your podcasts, or at our website: https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/youre-not-the-boss-of-me/

  7. Emotions 2.0: When I Feel What You Feel

    Emotions 2.0: When I Feel What You Feel

    This week, we kick off our new series, Emotions 2.0, with a special double episode about the emotions we experience with other people. We often think that emotions like happiness or sadness live inside our individual minds. But if you've ever gone to a music concert in a big stadium or attended a political rally with like-minded voters, you know that emotions can move through crowds in powerful ways. We begin with psychologist Amit Goldenberg, who studies how emotions spread and ratchet up in intensity as more people experience them. Then, we bring you a favorite 2022 conversation with anthropologist Dimitris Xygalatas, who takes us inside the world of fire walking to explore the emotional power of rituals.

    How to Win People Over

    We humans are a social species, and so it's not surprising that we care a lot about what other people think of us. It's also not surprising that many of us stumble when we try to manage others' views of us. This week, organizational psychologist Alison Fragale explains why that is, and offers better ways to win friends and influence people.
